“Spicy is as spicy does. The number of times I've eaten spicy peppers is too high to count, but this I know: I. Love. Spicy. Hot. Peppers. When Shishito peppers hit the grocery stores I got a kick out serving them as appetizers and waiting for the 1 pepper to show up and sneak its spicy heat into the mouth of an unsuspecting guest. Most are mild in taste but there's usually always one spicy pepper in the bunch, surprise! I wonder if one could make a living as a Chili Concierge? Kind of like the ball monitor in grade school - that kid was a bouncy genius who could present you with a ball perfect for your playground event be it bounce, size, texture, grip, inflation amount - genius in his own time. I wonder whatever happened to that kid? Today a Chili Concierge could guide you on your spice journey. A chili to add a little sumpin' sumpin' to hot cocoa, one to warm your soul and kick up a casserole or one that says "say hello to my spicy friend, where's the milk?" This really doesn't have anything to do with Hatch chilies other than it's sort of related to the theme. Hatch chilies are a staple in my household today and have been since I was old enough to know I loved spicy hot salsa. Back then the reference to Hatch, New Mexico wasn't even in the vernacular. I grew up on Colorado chilies when bushels were harvested and roasting was popular beginning in August. It was always a scramble to find someone who was in the area and who wouldn't mind loading a bushel or two in their trunk for the ride home. A lot of chilies but we never ran out of family who was happy to take some home. My freezer has a healthy supply of the hot ones and portioned just right for a Hatch Green Chili stew or a Hatch Green Chili Cheeseburger. I'll toss 'em into biscuit batter, Mac n' Cheese or fold them into cream cheese for an epic Sunday toasted bagel. Can you say Hatch quesadilla and your mouth not water? I can't. Anyway, Frieda's has come through more than a few times for me, so it's appropriate to share my love for them. Have no idea about the restaurant so I have no opinion, but if they have Hatch chilies they must be doing at least one thing right. In packages, by the pound or 25, however you roll this is for sure: once that roasted aroma of a Hatch chile crosses your olfactory organ...or you're lucky enough to have tasted one, you'll be hooked for life.”
“A step into one of those traditional Vietnamese market straight from Vietnam! This place is packed with street snacks from Vietnam, but it’s quite expensive. After reading everyone’s review carefully, I stuck with tea instead of milk tea since this place seems more of like a chè place. I got the mangosteen drink and lemon tea, both were good, but a little bitter (Chắc),so it wasn’t enjoyable for our little ones. I love all the toppings they offered. Service was slow, but then it was packed. They didn’t skip my number after times before they got to me and I only ordered two drinks.
Parking: Parking is plentiful
Kid-friendliness: Lots of Kelly’s”
“My favorite neighborhood market here in North Long Beach. I literally shop here at least 2-3 times a week, everyone working here are very kind and super helpful with anything you're looking for. Their produce, and meat department are all fresh, they have an abundance of ingredients on their shelves, anything you need I'm sure you'll find, I'm happy to support my local Cambodian market!”
“My special place. Today it was raining. They took care of all my needs for necessities; from veggies to dairy, juices, bread, cupboard supplies, lunch meats and freezer meats. Can't beat, great quality, $ savings! COOL BEANS?️?”
“I have been going there over 15 yrs growing up in the area I can say their quality of things are always on point and the employees always treat us customers politely and respectful..”
“Lots of varieties of asian fruits, they ship out of state too. Love their fried bananas, fried sweet potato & fried durian. And fresh sugar cane juice my favourite among padsikn fruit juice, red dragon fruit juice, white dragon fruit juice all freshly squeeze to order.”
“Great deals on PRODUCE.
You can't get everything you need here. Definitely not a one stop shop. But I come here for some great deals on some of my select items. Downfall for me is need to rent a cart. So I bring my own bags and shop with those as I peruse the store.”
“The employees are very friendly and the customers service are very good. I appreciate them when you need help.Some one are there to all ways help. Thank you for your good service. Keep up the good work”

4900 Rosecrans Ave, Compton“I first met the Soto family while a teacher at the public school across the street . They are caring and committed small business owners that go out of their way to provide the highest quality of food products and ready to eat meals to the Compton community . The carnitas are simply amazing in taste and quality . Their vegetables and fruits are always fresh and at reasonable prices . If you're in the area and hungry , Stop by and say hello to Juan Soto .”
“Interesting selection of food and non-food items at a reasonable price. Great place to explore and get new ideas for meals and treats. The prices are better than most grocery stores.”
“Best place to buy fresh fruits. So addicted to jackfruit and durian, this shop has fulfilled my craving with their fresh fruits. Durian crepe is my favorite as well. Beside the quality, customer service is as good as nicely and friendly owner. Highly recommended.”
“I love that Farm Lot 59 is in our neighborhood! Their staff and everything about this Farm is amazing! I come here to buy flowers for my mom and friends. I've also attended some of their events and will continue to support them! Please support and shop with Farm Lot 59.”

18707 Pioneer Blvd, Artesia“If you need Indian ingredients, this is the place. They conveniently sell smaller quantities of spices so you aren't forced to buy, for example, a pound of fenugreek or asafoetida.They don't display the prices of a lot of items for some reason, but everything is very reasonably priced.”
“Aldi is my new food source. Very good quality and pricing. Not too crowded. Good parking area. Lots of ALDI brands. Clean store with very little clutter. Now possible to order on line.”
“I always shop here for my fresh fruits and vegetables. They have good quality produce. On, March 6, the cashier told me that the item I had was not on sale, so I asked to make an exchange on a sale item. The cashier very willing did it and she got out of her chair to take the item back and brought back the correct item. Kudos to this gal for going out of her way for the customer. This is the type of employees we need in our communities. Too bad I didn't get her name.”
“Wanted Abarth bq brisket, but had to take a salt and pepper one because the othere were too small for the size I wanted. Hoping to get some of the pepper to wash off before cooking it. It would have been nice to have the others in bigger sizes also.”
“It was a nice sizeable "little store". It felt like a neighborhood corner market there. The prices can't be beat. I will be back, it is convenient.”
“Still have to remember to bring a quarter and a bag every time I come here, but you can walk out with a decent amount of food for less than most known supermarkets.”
“Definitely for healthy halal diet... rest assured! Wish they make it a supermarket like whole foods with competitive prices to serve southern California. Awesome, fast spot for the best meat and Mediterranean halal products ?”
“So sorry I can't remember the wonderful lady's name that helped me. I had a last minute emergency (for lack of a better word) birthday. Actually, I was made aware of a person's birthday (a date I hadn't known before that moment) less than one hour before a group of us were supposed to walk in to her workplace to surprise her with cake, song, balloons, and gifts. I panicked! Googled my nearest Edible Arrangements I had never used before. At first, I thought I would not be able to buy anything, as she explained a lot of things need to be ordered in advance. She was extremely willing to accommodate me, as we both asked each other a few questions. Ultimately, she worked it out, so I was able to show up with an awesome little arrangement for the birthday gal, inspite of some isuues with the register that the lady had to deal with as well. Kudos to Edible Arrangements Los Alamitos!!Not 5 stars, 6 stars and counting.....”
