| - I like cheap, quality produce, so it's no surprise that this place is a fav. for me.
The only disclaimer....I would prefer to go to the Superstition Ranch Market, but being all the way in east mesa, I needed to find something closer. I checked out the reviews here first, and decided to give this place a try.
Now I was starving when I got there, and I know better than to start shopping when I am hungry. Good thing for me, they have an amazing eating area with all of the options you could imagin for mexican food. I got steak tacos. Very good. There is a "salad" bar with all the fixing, from hot salsa, pico, guac, onions, cilantro, to anything and everything you could want. I also had some Huarchata. I love that stuff. They made it wonderfully here too. I especially like how it was in a huge clear bucket with a bunch of ice, and they spoon it out for you instead of just having a spout.
While I ate, I kind of felt like I was at a fiesta. There was a lot going on all around.. People were eating, loud music was playing, kids were running around, people were shopping, ballons and pinatas were overhead. Very neat atmostphere.
The shopping!! So I pretty much only bought produce here because really, that's what they specialize in..(in my opinion).. unless you are going to buy a bunch of regular shopping items and pay extra for them.. I would stick to fry's or safeway for all that stuff... Fresh fruit, all different kinds, pepper, chilis, and more peppers.. Every kind you can imagine. Dried, fresh, canned, bottled.. whatever you need, it's there. All kinds of greens, beans, and everything in between. I love this place. In fact, I think I might just go now. :)
Oh, and btw, I filled my cart about half way with bags of produce and my bill was under 20 bucks.. That's why I love this place.
