“Thank you so much for being the best store in the nation. Seriously. What a great family of people. The meat market, vegetables and choices are excellent!. The merchandising, facing and stocking gives me joy rather than fear after a pandemic of empty grocery store shelves.Try their pre cooked lobster and a ribeye daily.”
“I think $0.69 tacos might be the cheapest tacos around anywhere. Either way, they're really good and not at all watered down due to the cost. Available at this price on Tuesdays and Fridays, but be prepared to wait in line. Roughly 30-45 minutes, made more bearable by the samples they sometimes offer while you're waiting in line.
The tacos themselves are street style, meats cooked and seasoned nicely, and the folks at the store are friendly and efficient.”
“I'm so glad I found this shop online while searching for something special for a friends local (virtual) wedding. The woman who helped me was so patient and took the time to find what I needed and went out of her way to make sure it got delivered to my friend. Really appreciate the sense of hospitality I got from this shop - hope to visit in person one day!”
“Kenzie the floral manager is just the most amazing person ever! She is always so kind and friendly and her flowers are always the best! I come here for all of my floral needs birthdays, Mother’s Day, even weddings she is so creative and will go out of her way to help. I can see her passion for her job. Thank you”

“A fantastic selection of organic olive oils and balsamic vinegars! It is a cute shop and a must stop for anyone visiting San Clemente. Great customer service and an informative manager.”
“Great place for German foods including the presence of many unique shops in an Old World feel. Great beer and delicious. There are spaces to celebrate weddings and birthdays.”
“We stayed at a hotel nearby and they basically have everything you'd need. We needed stuff like beer, snacks, paper towels, souvenirs and a shovel to dig a hole. They had it all included much more like fishing gear and rentals. Was very convenient and open late.”
“This is the second review of given to this pavilions since it took over the Albertsons spot. The people who work there are so special. Again, I was helped by someone. This time her name was Ginger and she has blonde curly hair and glasses. What's funny is she's been described in other reviews and I understand why. Ginger helps you as she takes you to the aisle and quickly finds what you've been looking for. I asked her to help me twice the other day when I was searching for artichokes, and. Apple pie filling. I told her she was in trouble because I knew her name so I was gonna always ask her for help. I hope I don't need to, but she deserves some credit for being incredibly personable and helpful.”
“Had the most brilliant service today!! Can not recommend Candace enough! So knowledgeable about everything and the perfect person to have met for the issue I was having. :) thank you again”
“George, Sam, and the rest of the team are the best ever. They have a great selection of craft beers, spirits, and wines. Stop in for your favorite drink or mixer and some good conversation. Awesome local, family owned business.”
“I came late to get a few things for a campout the next day. Dylan was super helpful and the crew he led was very friendly late at night. It was obvious his leadership fosters a positive work environment. Really appreciated his help when I really needed it. Will definitely be coming back to this Ralph’s.”

“This is a smaller commissary compared to the thevother commissary on the south side of the base at Pacific Plaza. It still has everything you need, though, and nice employees.”
“This Ralph's store restores the joy back into grocery shopping. The place is immaculate. It is always well stocked and the aisles are clear of restocking boxes. Plus, the late night employees are just as nice as can be. ??????????”
“Needed some tools. So much more affordable than Lowe’s or Home Depot. A decent socket set is less ($23) than just one ratchet wrench ($39) at a big box home store. Bonus, their hours are better too.”
“Best Sushi in town, made fresh in front of you by licensed Sushi artists,. Yes it is a grocery store but The deli Sushi chefs are the best in town comparable to what I was used to in Japan working for Minebea Co. Ltd.”
“I’d give these guys more than 5 stars if it was possible. They have exactly what I need, every single time. I’m in and out in no time. And I know I’m getting some of the cleanest/ highest quality ingredients on the market. Plus the staff is always pretty knowledgeable on the products, so it just makes it that much better. I don’t go anywhere else for supplements”
