Nice local grocery store. We picked up some chips, cheese, and salsa. The salsa is really good, but be prepared if you get the hot it truly is set your mouth on fire hot. The staff are friendly and helpful
The good: Great selection of liquor, delicious baked goods.The bad: Painfully slow service at deli. Old meat and dairy products. Bought a quart of half and half and didn't check the bottle because half and half is generally good for one to two months. This one was one week from expiration. Won't be shopping for anything fresh here again, but I would choose it over Walmart.
I usually get tacos here for lunch. My wife and I love them because they are not greasy. Made to order while you wait for them. Of course the shell is pre-made, as are the rest of the ingredients which make for a fast turnaround time. This time I went to get nopales and corn chips. I ended up skipping the nopales because they were old and had dark spots on them. So I only got the chips.
