Ok so Compare Foods...LOL! This place is really good, but also not so good at the same time. At Compare Foods, you can find a ton of things that you just can't find at other stores or places. Things such as fruits and vegetables, non-perishable items and dry goods, foods, snacks, drinks, etc. If you are not familiar with things at Compare, you can try them out and most of the time, you will really like what you've tried. They also have a meat and a seafood section....prepackaged meats and seafood items, as well as items that you can get from the butcher. However this is also the "not so good" in my opinion. The meats and seafood sections have a very "distinctive" smell. It is very overwhelming at times and sometimes is it bearable. I tend to avoid that section, since I normally purchase my meats/seafood elsewhere. There is plenty of parking in the lot, as well as in the strip-mall behind the supermarket. The staff is helpful and very nice if you need help and when going through the check-out line. The pricing is also good and not too expensive. Aside from the smell in the meat/seafood areas, it's a great place to get those unordinary items that you need.

I have been trying to eat healthier and I come here for burro and baby bananas. I also like to walk around and see if there is anything else I could possibly get to incorporate into my diet. It's not too far from where I live and the lines are rarely long whenever I've been there. I am unable to discuss anything else because, although I walk around the entire market while I am there, my purpose is for the produce section and they have so many items you will not find in a traditional grocery store.

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I love that I can get cassava flour here like hella cheap. The produce is plentiful but not always the cheapest option to buy in town. Especially for the quality that can be hit or miss. But anything you might need for a Hispanic, Latin, Caribbean, African or almost anything ethnic you will most definitely find here. This place can get super crowded on the weekend and it can be hard to navigate through the produce section here when it is. And when the lines are long, they move slow. So slow. All the other things you will find in the store, are typical of any Hispanic style market - the bakery, the food stand, the jewelry. I would be offended if I came to a Hispanic market and these options were not available. It wouldn't be authentic.

I've got to agree with my Yelp pal Sam J who states, "this [place] has a huge heap of Hass avocados . . . and they are dirt cheap." Nowhere in the area have I found such abundance and variety of all things Latin when shopping for fresh ingredients (of course, I don't know how the hell to cook most of it). I have visited the other locations in Charlotte, too, and this one by far is the "sketchiest." If the owner of the shopping mall would fix it up, I'm sure their sales would go up, too, along with Le's Sandwich shop and the Asian Market. Compare Foods is an authentic, real deal. And it's not for everyone. Lidl, Aldi, Publix? No. Looking to spice up your menu with original Latin flavors? Give Compare Foods a whirl. Your taste buds will thank you later. Shop here. PS: Yes, there are some English-speaking folks to help you.

Nothing fancy but there are good prices, fresh vegetables and some items you will not find at Harris Teeter. It is not as good as Super G Mart but if you stop by here give the taco Truck right outside a try. You will not regret it.
