Supermarkets near Weaverville, NC

“I love our Weaverville Aldi! I’m there about twice a week. Super friendly, great buys, fabulous specials and great prices!!! I even find a ton of out of the ordinary items you wouldn’t expect at a grocery store: my dog pool, shoes, essential oils, wreaths, holiday items, dog sweaters/coats, candlesticks, bike pump/horn/water bottle, etc. Favorite items: Dirty Martini Dip (during holidays), chicken/cheese/pita, inexpensive wine, pizza, bread, cheeses, chips, dairy, frozen fruit, patio & bbq items, the list goes on.”

“Excellent place to shop, and this habit of mine was cultivated as a kid growing up in Miami, Florida. Mom always shopped Publix. You might say it's a family tradition. The stores are always clean , shelves are neat, and staff are always friendly and helpful. There is a 5% senior discount on Wednesday, many buy one get one free offers. And if you are not happy with anything bought there you can ask for a refund even if you ate it completely. If you don't believe me, ask them!”

“TIENDA EL QUETZAL 10 July 2025

I drove by this place multiple times over the course of a few days while I was away at a workshop in Asheville, NC. What I noticed was that this place seemed busier than a gas station. Then I noticed that it was a Mexican restaurant, and then finally I saw people coming out with take-out bags, so I was drawn to go in.

It's really tough to choose (for me at least) what to try when you don't think you're ever going to go back to the establishment again. I suppose you choose what sounds the best, but sometimes there are sleepers on the menu that just need a little thoughtful discovery.

I tried the tacos here, wasn't too hungry before starting my travel back home. The menu is on a board above the counter and it really is a hole in the wall. It's one of those places I am reluctant to mention because it could change if it got more popular. So I'm just going to report that I did look at what others were eating and the whole menu, small, was represented. Burritos, all day breakfasts, Tacos, Sandwiches, fried plantains (I wish I had tried them because I saw them on everyone's plates!), fried yukka, wings. Although the spread of the menu was broad, from burgers and Philly steaks to carne asada and a Quoetzal breakfast, it was honed down to delicious. I am getting hungry just thinking about what I saw and all the possibilities they offered. Oh well, back to the exercise regimen.

The other part is that the not the hole in the wall part is a grocery store with a lot of beverages at the back wall in a huge cooler. I got a Boing! guava pulp beverage, drank it quickly, then got a coconut milk beverage with the gummy squares. I didn't really explore much in there either, except for the drink case. I was looking for a Topo Chico, which is getting easier to find these days. They were sold out, and so I was forced to choose something other than the easy route. It was a complete spectrum as well, from tamarindo to strawberry soda to energy drinks, but from Mexico. My local mexican grocery hasn't carried these yet.

I'm kind of damning myself now for not going in as soon as my radar went off. The two tacos I got were carnitas and al pastor. The meats were shredded and in small pieces. The tacos had one layer of corn tortilla each and I might not believe you if you had said they were not made there. They came with 2 salsas. One was made with a green melon (I think) and that's all I know other than they maybe had a Carolina twang on the vinegar side. Nice heat, not overly spicy, and the flavors were well melded. Cilantro, onion, and 2 small wedges of lime were tucked into the take out boxes. If you ate there, you got a basket with a wax paper liner. Somehow my order which I ate there was made to go.

I've included some pictures as well, of the exterior (strip mall type storefront off the side of the road), the grocery aisles, the beverage cooler, and the owner, who I got a live photo of by accident and it's so cute how he gives a thumbs up while breaking into a smile. I hope they stay in business a very long time. I should also mention that the owner spoke mainly Spanish and that he was kind and patient as I tried asking all my questions to narrow down what to order. I am studying Spanish, for one reason, to talk more about food. Happy eating!”

“This store was devastated last year with 8 ft of water. Today they are back open and the store is beautiful. Come out and see them today. Tomorrow, 7/10/25, is the grand opening.”

“It’s an Aldi’ what can you say. I guess their cheese selection is not as big as some other Aldi’s I’ve been to in Asheville area,
They were low on a lot of frozen items, my guess is they are slowly replacing frozen food after 2+ weeks of no power in Asheville.”

“Love these guys and galz... they are always helpful and honest... we read the price wrong to send oxxo... the next time I came in she had it waiting for me... it's in the perfect spot too... being east asheville doesn't have Hispanic Markets...”

“I was in town for almost a week and found myself at Ingles almost everyday. It's a fantastic store, I will definitely be returning when I'm in town again.”

“The nicest, cleanest, and most friendly grocery store. They have everything that you could possibly need from hot food to an olive bar. My kind of grocery store. Highly recommend.”

“It's clean, well managed, they are rarely out of anything. I can find stuff in the right places, never really seen anything outta place or date. Every worker I've came across was respectful and helpful.”

“I highly recommend. Wonderful stores, each. They have salad bars, hot and cold food for take out. Oh and the Starbucks in each. Each one I visited had awsome employees. Plus it's a few dollars cheaper than the regular drive thru starbucks.The grocery stores have a great selection of domestic and international products. Wonderful selection of fresh veggies and meats. Most even have lamb. The brisket is great and the pulled pork. Just throw some Carolina sauce on it and slaw. Mmm. Fantastic employees in each store I have been in so far.”
