For many years, Valli was our go-to-market for food. The variety of products carried is outstanding. They have an enormous selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. Since they get people of multiple ethnicities, they have a very good selection of cultural foods. And, up until a few years ago, their prices were much lower than other stores.When they raised their prices several years ago, we virtually stopped going to Valli on all but a few occasions. This time, we needed a variety of Latin/Mexican foods, so this was our first choice.First, their fresh salsas, guacamole, pico de gallo, and other freshly made items are second to none. They still have the widest variety and quality of fresh fruits and vegetables of other markets I go to. Their milk and dairy products and frozen foods are priced more than most other markets. They still have a great selection of cold cuts, which are a much better value than other deli counters. They have a good selection of fresh meat (and some seafood), including taco meat and fajitas to buy and cook at home. I have never tried their bakery, but everything looks delicious. And they among the the largest selection of fresh-frozen fish in our area.If you need it, they have it. Still, with some of their pricing matching or even higher than the supermarket chains, we limit our trips to Valli when we need something we know we can get at a specialty market or only there. And many of the Mexican and Asian grocers may carry a much smaller selection but have better prices. Still, there is something about Valli - maybe having everything in one place, the friendly and helpful employees, or something else. Valli still holds a place in my heart.

Valli typically has the usual groceries we shop for, with the added bonus of lower priced fresh produce than other neighborhood stores.As other Yelpers may have noticed, Valli is in an older building and some areas of the store don't look as clean or updated as nearby stores like Amazon Fresh, but it's worth the savings you get here. I've been comparing prices on our staple items like eggs, skim milk, bread, skinless, boneless chicken breast, and some of our other favorites, and Valli still typically comes out ahead for me.One of our favorite brands is El Milagro chips and tortillas. I have a hard time finding these in stock at Jewel or other stores (they seem very popular) and tortilla chip bags were scarce at the height of COVID. However, this is now my go-to place for my favorite ground turkey taco salad fixings.Highlights for me are the deli items, sushi counter, varoety of ehole grain and pita breads, and the bulk food aisles for raw nuts, raisins, and other itemsbuild-your-own trail mix.On my last visit, the cashiers were super friendly and giving away bottles of free hand sanitizer.The baked goods here are fresh, decadent, and reasonably priced too.The parking lot chaos is enough to keep me from shopping at Valli on the weekends, so I try to come early on a weekday to avoid the crowds.

I recently visited the store for the first time. It is quite small but it was clean. Every sections are organized and fully stocked. I was shocked to know that they have better deals than the other nice grocery stores around. This is pretty far for my place but seeing the great deals, I would probably shop here from time to time. Fruits and veggies are very fresh with various selection in their produce section. They also have nice selection of meats and even deli. Staff is nice. I was in the checkout and the staff in there was friendly and helpful. The store is overall great. if only I live around this neighborhood I would probably be a regular customer.

Went there at 8:30 after calling to see what time they close which is 9:00. Started shopping and heard the announcement at around 8:40 that they will be closing in 15 minutes and that all departments will be closing in 15 minutes. Worked my way through the produce section which was being torn down. No biggie need to clean and put stuff away. I get it. I was able to find most of what i needed and worked my way over to the deli. Heard the announcement again and looked at my watch. 8:47. Cool I will get my deli stuff quick. Some sliced meat and cheese for the week for lunches. Walk up to the counter and the guy says they are closed. I said you close at 9. He said "we have to clean up and this slicer (1 of 6 that they have) is clean" I said you are kidding and of course he said no. I would have left my cart full of groceries and left empty handed, but I needed what I had. I then go to check out and ask the guy, who just made the announcement again, about closing. He was also the guy who rang me up, about what time they close. He said 9. So of course I asked if that meant the deli too and he said yes. I then told him that he should let them know. I usually have decent experiences here, and I understand that they would like to go home. It just left me a little upset that I was unable to complete my shopping. Unfortunately some times you have to shop when you have time, and this was the only time I had early in the week and I really needed stuff. I may choose to shop elsewhere if this happens again.

If I could leave less than a one star i would. I believe noone should come shopping at this store. Especially when they exploit their employees. Paying them well below the minimum wage and working in unhealthy environments. I cannot believe people still dont speak up about it. Very sad. I wouldnt give a dime to these chains of stores.

The deli is awesome and the deli meats and cheese are very reasonably priced. Most things in the store are competitively priced with Jewel or Aldi, the fruits and veggies are usually better priced, the meats are mostly good, I can find calves liver for the wife, great deals on boneless skinless chicken and great deals on pork. The ONLY problem I have found is the steaks, at least when they have a steak sale. I have a freezer with over a dozen steaks in it that are pretty much inedible, they are tough as nails, I don't know if when they have a steak sale they buy from a horse farm or what happens but I have tried to marinade, sear, slow cook, fast cook, everything, but I cannot make these steaks edible. I mean T-Bone, Strip, Porterhouse and Rib-eye's they do not sell good steak. everything else is just fine.
