Pros: Hot food section has good selection. Their Tripas is good, better than Cardenas - when they do bot run out of it. Surprisingly, you do not see flies or see very little of in the bakery or meat department. Prices are great all around.Cons: Sometimes the hot food area ladies don't speak or understand English very well. I can speak basic Spanish, so I can get by. The meat department needs to better serve their customers. They will help Hispanic folks before other ethnic groups, even if you've been standing there before other folks. Went today and it wasn't too busy. They had 3-4 meat dept folks behind the counter. Lady employee was helping a customer before me, but took forever because the customer wanted the meat to be cut in a certain way. Another guy employee was slicing meat, looked my way, said nothing then went back to his thing. Every minute or two he would walk over to the lady employee and talk to her. Whole time did not acknowledge me. Another customer came by and one of the meat dept. further down helped him out. After 3-5 minutes, two hispanic ladies stood behind me. I made sure I was closest to counter. Guess what happened?Hispanic guy overlooks me and asks the ladies behind me in Spanish what he can do for them. I interrupt him and tell him, excuse me? I've been waiting here patiently - with you looking me and you're going to skip me over?Guy ended up helping me, but if you don't look the part the meat dept may overlook you.The gals that work the counters tend to be nicer than the guys.
