“Very unique store with a wide spectrum of foods for almost every single culture and country. The atmosphere was a bit thrown together, but the prices were very reasonable overall with a few great bargains.”
“This is my go-to grocery stop in the area! It's convenient and covers the basics of what I need - and fun stuff I don't necessarily need! The store is typically clean and well-maintained.”

“In the quiet kingdom of the concrete lot,
Where the quarters wait in a silver slot,
The ritual starts with a rhythmic clack—
A rented vessel for the snack-aisle track.
No marble floors or soft-lit glow,
Just high-stacked boxes in a steady row.
The Middle Aisle Magic
Here lies the heart of the fever dream,
Between the frozen peas and the heavy cream.
You came for bread, perhaps a lime,
But leave with a chainsaw and a sprig of thyme.
A snorkel set? A weighted vest?
The Aisle of Shame puts the soul to test.
You didn't know you needed a wooden duck,
Until it met you in the back of the truck.
The Velocity of the Scan
The cashier sits in a throne of speed,
A blur of motion for the hungry breed.
No dawdling here, no wasted breath,
The beep of the scanner is a dance with death.
Milk and eggs fly through the air,
With the frantic grace of a county fair.
Your pride is measured by how fast you pack,
As the next in line is at your back.
The Bounty of the Blue
Winking Owl for a modest toast,
Mama Cozzi’s—the budget host.
Brioche buns that shine like gold,
And specialty cheeses for the bold.
No name brands haunt these simple shelves,
Just treasures found by the savvy selves.
The bags are brought from the trunk of the car,
To carry the loot of the bargain star.
A quarter returned to its metal home,
A weary shopper no longer must roam.
Cheap and chaotic, a beautiful spree—
The checkout song of the ALDI tea.”

“Had to wait in line for over 30 minutes. There was only 2 lanes open and the line was over halfway down the aisle . Update for my experience with Aldi's store.... I walked in to the store,picked up the items I went in for,was in line for a minute, maybe two. Payed and walked out All within 10 minutes and very courteous employee. Definitely going to be a regular here.”
“Very small, they have everything clean, the most important for me is the meat area , is ver clean very good meat and the service excellent. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the place it's to small.”
“Always clean, the staff is always helpful. And the bremers Italian style meatballs are GREAT! Just did a catering for a wedding and used those meatballs! Which are aldis only products, 100 times better than Sam's and meijers combined. Everyone sleeping on aldis”
“The Nacional supermarket is this Latin Store where you can find mostly everything you’ve ever needed for a wonderful Hispanic home shopping experience. Moreover, you can avoid feelings homesick for a while. Help your self to get what you are use to or fulfill your taste with yummy Hispanic meals…If you are graving a homie kind of food, this place is 1 of the kind for excellence! If you know you wanted to eat the right thing, you will find it there. And if you long to get rid of cravings or even your hungover.. you have choices…Lol. It’s true. So I have so many reasons to say this Supermarket is One of my favorite places to shop at…There is qualify products, in addition, the costumer service is really one of the best around. If some one doesn’t like the packaging.. shame on them.. the important thing is the quality of food .. you are not eating the box.. ridiculous.. Maybe you need to be more careful handling packages on your ride..you can find this happy environment from the moment you get in. I found my self singing and dancing all the sudden while waiting for Jacky to fill my plate with that yummy food… I better stop Cos im getting hungry again… so yes, ?.. it’s so nice ! Call and get your orders ready, not time wasting… that’s so convenient… k, I mean it!”
“They always have everything I am looking for. From fresh meats to dried chilies, pan dulces to fresh fruit. They have a bit of everything including the pots to cook it in. Reasonable prices and two locations to serve you.”
“First time in this one. A bit of a different layout but still spacious and well stocked. Found everything i was looking for and checking out was a breeze. Plus it's near everywhere I shop on BeltLine.”
“We had a special meat order here for a graduation party. The staff was very helpful in helping us figure out how much we would need for how many people were attending. We had the perfect amount for everyone. Also, their barbacoa and tamales are delicious. We plan on visiting again soon!”
“Everything is usually in stock and the employees are very helpful and Sundays after church is the best time for me to shop and it's never crowded even on a Sunday afternoon”
“Well, this place is pretty average. It has the basics when it comes to Mexican products, including some candies and items that I agree are genuinely Mexican. They also have a food section, which is great because it's cheap and tastes good. The only reason I wouldn't say this is a great spot is that the place feels a bit neglected, so in terms of appearance, it's not very appealing.”
“While this isn’t my default store Meijer, I stop by when I’m in the area, I’d like to commend the lady who is the store manager. She’s not only fun to talk to but genuinely cares about client feedback. Please reach out to her with issues or general requests for assistance. You’ll be glad you did. :)”
“It’s been years since I’ve last visited, went last week and they did not disappoint. Found everything that I needed and then some. Every interaction was pleasant, I will be returning.”
“Now that Covid is over, the shelves are well stocked. I do get frustrated however with the stockers. Quite often they have their large carts placed right up to the shelves. This makes it difficult to reach around it so you can take something off the shelves.”
“Meijer. No frills. Just simple groceries and more. Serving the midwest Meijer will always be the go to choice for our family's needs. Prices are fair and competitive.”
“This Meijer location is MUCH better than it used to be. The store itself has been renovated, and the management has done a better job with hiring people that don't hate their job and openly show it. That being said, the service desk is pretty bad and extremely slow. And some of the cashiers still act like they hate you.
I don't need lots of bubbly, fake attitudes. But I also don't need someone with a scowl on their face that basically doesn't acknowledge your existence until you need to pay. Maybe find a middle ground.”
“Wow!! Overlooked gem for sure. Eddy has really upgraded the place over the years. Stopped by for some meat and left with a whole bag of goodies. Picanha and chicken breast, green beans, sweet potato, hot soup, etc. They're famous for their $25 Taco Bundle, fresh tamales and empanadas.”
