Good food but higher prices than other grocery stores and customer service is terribleAdding to why I was not satisfiedI am a regular customer and it really takes a lot for me to leave a bad review, but when you go there and every single time people act like you are invisible while waiting right in front of them to get helpYou just feel you are not welcome thereI am particularly speaking of the food section ladies there seem to be in a bad mood every day,Give them a raise in exchange for a smile or at least be a little more attentive to customers who might be on their lunch break and may need to be out of the store in less than 10 min .

Nice clean place. Staff is friendly and they stock a nice and wide enough variety of Mexican merchandise, they could improve the central american part. But is a great store.

Maybe it is a coincidence but every time that I go this store there is always an issue with my order, the oatmeal tastes expired or the person doesn’t wash their hands when handling food or the the personal gives a horrible customer service.-

I like this store. Its centrally located on the East side of Salinas. Next to, West End Girls. Love that song. Dont like A Lot of the customers that go there. Rude, and Ruder. Thats, What makes it interesting. Also the food court. The Ladies, and The Grill Master will cater to your taste buds delight. Delicious and authentic Mexican food. They had to put the bakery Next, to it. Flan, Choco Flan, Tres Leches cake, and more cakes. You want to impress your friends. Buy everything Already made, and say You made it (dispose of the packaging). My kids mom did that. Till I found the receipt. Dispose of that Too. I KNOW what you did Tina. Happy shopping. Avoid Rude. Ruder is nicer.

The employees are very rude and the mananger allow them to have that attitude, only a few employees give good customer services. This is every time I go to this store. I called to the store to give my feedback but nobody answered and no vm available.

Thought this place was great for a while besides the fact that the ladys at the food bar have a bad attitude but lately I’ve gotten salsa that’s not good anymore it smells bad today I was craving Albóndigas so I went and got ground beef the meat had a Weird color and smell I really thought nothing of it so I made everything when they were ready my husband was so mad because the meat tasted bad and it had a smell this is unacceptable Cardenas

Very rude cashier at the food court. Asked my elderly mother to speak when spoken. Had her get back in line. I asked for a refund. She said she was going to get the manager I told the manager what had happened and I didnt even get an apology. I told the cashier she needed to educate herself on how to treat customers, she simply laughed. Their corporate service wasnt any help either. Bitter experience. The only reason I gave it one star is because otherwise I wasnt going to be able to post this incident.

I went there for the first time hoping to get some type of berries really quick since it was on my way home. Unfortunately they only had 2 boxes of strawberries and 1 box of raspberries, all 3 of which looked like they were already rotting. On my way out I noticed long lines and only 2 cashiers open.
