This little island grocery store has been here for years! It's a great place to grab your needed groceries, wine and beer, snacks and soda. The fresh cut fruit and the fried chicken are always on point. The store is always clean and the staff is very friendly.
Might be a little small but this place has everything you need. Well stocked, faced, dates on product were good and friendly employees. The beef line here is very high quality. They also have beer next to milk. Genius.
They have what you need, but I wouldn't call it a supermarket by large urban standards. This is where you go to buy groceries locally. I went in for sliced cheese for sandwiches. They didn't have the packaged stuff, so I went to the deli counter. I would give the store 5 stars had I any comprehension of the weight of the package of cheese I usually buy, know the thickness of the cheese and could remember more high school Spanish from 40 years ago.
It was a convenient place to shop. But they did not have any organic produce. Went there later in the week and got their fried fish in the food section. It was so good we went over later in the week and got some more.
Manager and cashier completely irrational and racist—they threatened to call the police and they followed us out of the establishment. They refused to sell us alcohol even though we had valid ids.
Fine in a pinch for a snack, nothing else. Selection is only ok. Need to be careful. Produce is about to expire, sometimes moldy the day after you buy it. Prices are definitely way inflated, they are probably just capitalizing on the fact they are the largest market on the island and people dont want to drive to Port Isabel HEB. We make the trip though to PI and recommend it.
They have a “locals discount” for island residents of 5% if you “apply”. But even with the card I show them at checkout, they still try to get away with not applying the 5%, which is very annoying. I have had to go back in to customer service counter on multiple occasions when I realize in the parking lot that they didnt apply my “locals’ discount”, and even if its only a few dollars savings, I spend the 15 minutes it takes them to refund the difference because of the principle of the matter. You offer and make me apply for my locals discount so your prices for me come a little closer to reality, but then try to sneakily not apply it when I check out? Smh. Cashiers can be super snarky and rude at times. This could be a MUCH better store for sure.
Not a bad little grocery store. We actually stopped by two days in a row!!! Funny how you forget the things you use daily when your on vacation. They even carry 3 liters of Coke!!! The close at 10 pm.
