“Sunday the eighth of March, before 9 o'clock. My wife needed Organic zucchini for the celebration main dish, but the shelf spot was empty. A staff member (Ashley) was vigorously working to tidy up, yet paused and listened to my wife's rquest, then proceeded to check outback. Ashley returned with the Organic treasure. Thank You Fresh Market.
Friday the 27th of February at six-fifteen in the evening. Staff helped us find Chia Seeds and Hemp. The checkout with Lisa & Summer was spectacular. Friendship during the ringup is one of the Publix treasures.? My wife was all smiles, thank You ❤️”
“TIENDA EL QUETZAL 10 July 2025
I drove by this place multiple times over the course of a few days while I was away at a workshop in Asheville, NC. What I noticed was that this place seemed busier than a gas station. Then I noticed that it was a Mexican restaurant, and then finally I saw people coming out with take-out bags, so I was drawn to go in.
It's really tough to choose (for me at least) what to try when you don't think you're ever going to go back to the establishment again. I suppose you choose what sounds the best, but sometimes there are sleepers on the menu that just need a little thoughtful discovery.
I tried the tacos here, wasn't too hungry before starting my travel back home. The menu is on a board above the counter and it really is a hole in the wall. It's one of those places I am reluctant to mention because it could change if it got more popular. So I'm just going to report that I did look at what others were eating and the whole menu, small, was represented. Burritos, all day breakfasts, Tacos, Sandwiches, fried plantains (I wish I had tried them because I saw them on everyone's plates!), fried yukka, wings. Although the spread of the menu was broad, from burgers and Philly steaks to carne asada and a Quoetzal breakfast, it was honed down to delicious. I am getting hungry just thinking about what I saw and all the possibilities they offered. Oh well, back to the exercise regimen.
The other part is that the not the hole in the wall part is a grocery store with a lot of beverages at the back wall in a huge cooler. I got a Boing! guava pulp beverage, drank it quickly, then got a coconut milk beverage with the gummy squares. I didn't really explore much in there either, except for the drink case. I was looking for a Topo Chico, which is getting easier to find these days. They were sold out, and so I was forced to choose something other than the easy route. It was a complete spectrum as well, from tamarindo to strawberry soda to energy drinks, but from Mexico. My local mexican grocery hasn't carried these yet.
I'm kind of damning myself now for not going in as soon as my radar went off. The two tacos I got were carnitas and al pastor. The meats were shredded and in small pieces. The tacos had one layer of corn tortilla each and I might not believe you if you had said they were not made there. They came with 2 salsas. One was made with a green melon (I think) and that's all I know other than they maybe had a Carolina twang on the vinegar side. Nice heat, not overly spicy, and the flavors were well melded. Cilantro, onion, and 2 small wedges of lime were tucked into the take out boxes. If you ate there, you got a basket with a wax paper liner. Somehow my order which I ate there was made to go.
I've included some pictures as well, of the exterior (strip mall type storefront off the side of the road), the grocery aisles, the beverage cooler, and the owner, who I got a live photo of by accident and it's so cute how he gives a thumbs up while breaking into a smile. I hope they stay in business a very long time. I should also mention that the owner spoke mainly Spanish and that he was kind and patient as I tried asking all my questions to narrow down what to order. I am studying Spanish, for one reason, to talk more about food. Happy eating!”
“Prices on standard items is a bit much, but it's pretty convenient. I love the locally made home items, like incense and candles.
Bakery and deli, with so many vegan options, is where it's at. The rice pudding is delicious. Wish they had more variety of vegan sandwish/wrap options like they did a year or so ago - with the vegan sea bacon croissants and other goodies that aren't just the black bean burritos.”
“Best grocery store to shop at right now with this current economy. However options are less so you get what you get if you want to save some money and stretch out your groceries some.”
“The staff over there are absolutely incredible. No only knowledgeable about everything they offer, and with a huge selection of delicious teas, sugars and spices, but they are all amazing people who I guarantee will brighten your day, because Irish sure made mine better today.”

“It’s an Aldi’ what can you say. I guess their cheese selection is not as big as some other Aldi’s I’ve been to in Asheville area,
They were low on a lot of frozen items, my guess is they are slowly replacing frozen food after 2+ weeks of no power in Asheville.”
“This place is a great little find, with lots of variety in a small space. They also have fresh Lion's Mane. Just look at this guy! I want to pet it and eat it at the same time :)”
“Good deals can be found here on organic, healthy items. It’s hit or miss, but I’ve really appreciated the savings. My only issue is there’s a lot of stuff that isn’t good for me, so I have to be in a strong mood, and stay off the junk aisles. ? For instance, they sell Cozy Shack puddings at 1/3 the price. That one is hard to pass by! And chips galore and candy…
They often have pasta made in Italy and canned tomatoes of a good brand and I’ve found organic there. Also have found healthy items at discount prices in the frozen section.
If you like frozen pizza this is the place to buy it. Occasionally the ‘healthier’ brands are here, too.
Expiration dates or ‘best by dates’ are worth checking but they’re not a deal breaker for me if I’m planning to eat it.
Staff are great.”
“Excellent hot bar, salad bar, fresh sushi and pizzas! Produce is fresh! Large variety of beers, wines, and ciders. The store is very clean and well laid out. Customer service (produce, sushi, and pizza counter) was excellent. I am giving this store 4 stars because I went for lunch 5 days in a row, and all 5 days there was only 1 cashier. I HATE self checkout....please consider employing more humans.”
“Was greeted immediately upon walking in. The lady was very helpful guiding us through how the store was set up. Kindly offered samples. The olive oil I purchased is delicious!”
“Great shopping for the area. Decent store selection such as a food, jewelry, sunglasses, sneaker head shop, Maurices, Old Navy, Halloween Express in parking lot, Shoe Depot, Dillard's, miscellaneous pop-up stands, etcetera.”

“Whether you need a quick fill-up, a snack, this is the gas staion to visit. Singh’s genuine friendliness transform an ordinary pit stop into a delightful experience. His welcoming demeanor and dedication to excellence is unmatched and he’s the reason it stands out as my absolute favorite. He’s always ready with a helpful tip or a friendly chat, and I’m grateful to have such a fantastic gas station in my neighborhood.
Highly recommended !!!”
“Clean, organized and a good variety of products to select from. If ever in the area would stop in again. The prices on somethings were good, I saw a few items that were a bit pricy for an outlet store. The expiration dates were far out as in some outlet chain items have already expired or within a few days will expire. I'm not a date expiration snob on non meat, non dairy or produce items.”
“I've been coming here since I was a kid and I'm 49 years old. This is a great place to get fresh produce, niche items made by mountain artisans and just a good place to walk around and look at all the wares, flowers and even check out DJ's pickles! These are hardworking folks and you can get much more healthy items for the same price or not much more as you would find at a regular grocery store and you're supporting truly local businesses. Check 'em out-”
“This is a good place. It used to be. But now the price is often higher than in Walmart! The meat is expensive! The fruit is of average quality, and the prices are premium! Yes, there are unique items, and there are few customers, but that's not enough. I've started coming here less often. I miss the old prices and selection.”

“Ingles is an exceptional grocery store! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the cleanliness and organization of the store. The wide selection of fresh produce, quality meats, and a variety of international products always exceeds my expectations. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to assist you with a smile. Ingles consistently delivers on freshness, affordability, and customer service, making it my go-to grocery destination. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a fantastic shopping experience.”
“Really nice people, they will help you find whatever you are looking for to try, and they have a lot of various European snacks and product tos make good sandwiches”
“Was looking for Hungarian items and specifically Hungarian paprika..we didn't find the paprika but did did find some great Hungarian Salami.....cute shop...will be back..”
“The markets always great!
I wasn’t expecting this level of service but very grateful I received it.
I wasn’t expecting to point at a cut, have it wrapped, take it home and prepare it for taco meat.
In conversation I mentioned to the butcher at the counter I was using it for tacos.
After I picked out the sirloin, before putting it on the scale he asked if I’d like for him to cut it in strips for me.
Absolutely unexpected, and exceptional service. And the cuts were perfect and the tacos turned out delicious!
Excellent quality, and service!”
“Best Live Music~Beautiful~tall, a cappella, Soul Filled Woman she was~my coffee~oat milk~cinnamon~sat & spun for a while on the wooden picnic~no cobwebs here~air n nose~out mouth~”
“Not the largest Ingles and they could definitely expand their beer selection to be more on par with some of the other locations but overall it's decent. They have a good selection of various wellness items which I appreciate.”
“Great store but today they didn't have what I was looking for. I went to a company's site and they said they carried the product...
But no, they don't😒”
“Very different store layout. A variety on all kinds of different foods and coffees. If your looking to try something different or beautiful flowers this is your place to shop.”
“I love shopping at earthfare! They have just about all the meats and foods I love. It would have given a 5 star review, but a bit after I moved to Asheville I brought my son with me to shop and I brought my own earthfare bag that I brought when I first moved back. The cashier kept questioning me about my bag as if I stole it and the security! Cop came over and began to watch. Now every time I am in there shopping the security/cop follows me as if I don't see him. Now I only go when I really need what only Earth Fare has😔. I love Earth Fare and would love to shop with excitement as I did before”
“I ordered a smash burger. I've never had one. It was the most well made burger I've ever had. Seriously, it was my birthday and my son and his wife took me there and we were all very happy with our meal. The waitress and cook were outstanding. Thank you. I'll be back.”
“It's a gas station. But it's clean, well kept and friendly. They seem to value their customers enough to give the a safe, well-lit, clean environment in which to get gas.”
“I love this carniceria, it’s very affordable, none of the meat is funky, and they have cuts in stock that are difficult to find elsewhere like trotters and tongue. They’re a full service butcher shop in that they’ll cut things to order for you, unlike the meat counters at Whole Foods, Earthfare, Ingles, etc. Plus, you can pick up some fresh locally made corn or flour tortillas on your way out!”
“There aren't many things I buy from Trader Joe's because most of what they sell is unhealthy. However, they have decent prices for dried fruits and frozen fruits, and interestingly, potted plants. The staff is always friendly. The parking lot is small compared to the number of people shopping in the store.
