“Carne asada is great, grilled to order. The mini tacos are very packed with meat. Their corn tortillas are really good. Their salsa is really good as well and their guac. However, guac isn't always as fresh. Might be a hit and miss. Their grilled chicken is also good.”

“Albertsons/Vons is the only store chain to continue carrying Pomegranate arils! Ralph's stopped stocking them & Smart & Final haven't carried them at all. Albertsons/Vons has a better selection of frozen and canned foods. A bit more expensive but when I can't find something at Ralph's, I go to Albertsons and find it every time!!”

“Stopped in today to just grab some ice and Discovered an authentic Carniceria inside this Mom and Pop neighborhood shop. I also was pleasantly surprised by some good old-fashioned customer service! This husband and wife team offered service with a smile as well as "anticipating need," one of the cornerstones of customer service. If ever in the neighborhood stop by and see for yourself. Cheers!”

“I pass by once a month to pick up most of the middle Eastern groceries that I like. I usually get the Labneh, olives, bread and pickles from there. I like the place, it's usually clean and the customer service is normally good. No waiting time to get to the cash registers and staff is friendly. That's why I keep going back!”

“Smart 'N Final is my one-stop shop. They've got everything I need. I am impressed with their quality of produce at good prices. Plus, they are the closest grocery store to me. I like Costco's prices, but not the traffic, parking, and shopping cart traffic inside that big box store. I also like Trader Joe's, but it's too far to drive for a few items.I'd give 5 stars if the checkout lines moved quicker. They tend to be often understaffed at the registers.”

“Love this store!!! Angie is excellent, she always provides EXCELLENT customer service. I used to avoid buying my groceries from Ralph’s because of the prices, but she helped my dad and I by signing up with a phone number which saved us TONS of money. She’s always SO sweet and kind, I am unsure what her position is, but she should be promoted to a management position with a raise, immediately!!! I will never buy groceries anywhere else as long as she is working there. if she’s not a manager already, someone should promote her!!”
