They offer lots of stuff, including ready-made food, produce, and international items that might be difficult to find elsewhere. They used to have the best meal deal in town, but since raised the price of it by a good 50%. Its still a reasonable deal, I suppose. The place is pretty cramped though, youre often going to be in the way of people forming up to pay at the cashiers, who always seem to be understaffed. Additionally, another star taken off for an understaffed butchery, and for the poor quality of meats Ive bought there before (do NOT get the beef fajitas, its all gristle). This place is more expensive than, say, Walmart or Target, but not as expensive as a gas station mart. You get added convenience for the expense, thats the trade-off.

The prepared food thats in the front, and the pan dulce are not good. The flour and corn tortillas, salsas, rice and bean are good. The meats and produce are fine too. The store could be kept up better and cleaned more frequently. I enjoy their aguas frescas as well. I come here mostly for their flour tortillas when I dont feel like driving to Apple Tree in Chula Vista.

I absolutely love carnival supermarket. All there food is amazingly good and fresh. And I love the fact that they have hot food ready and made so you can pick up a plate and eat right then and there and they also have mariscos there ready to order and eat. If your looking for handmade and freshly baked tortillas look no further.. this is the place

The supermarket located at this location is ok. I like the one better down in chula vista. I stopped by here for a quick snack. Just got me a natural juice that they make in house. Loved the juice. I didnt really want or need anything else from there though. 🙄😁

They have great prices on meat also. Its a clean store where I feel safe to shop during coronavirus times. One thing I dont like is when they put stuff on sale u have to buy two to get the sale price, not like that at other stores.

I love this market, but with my incident with their people today in which my very first after so many years of shopping with them. FIRST TIME USING THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND I AM NOT HAPPY AND FELT SAD. I dont usually put any bad reviews but I cant contain myself because I feel violated. I am never coming back again.😔😔😔I will wish and pray for the markets continous growth and hope customers service will improve as well.

This store isn’t following protocol, not sanitizing or options to sanitize the carts or baskets. The store is so small. They have over almost 20 people in the store at the same time. Sometimes the milk or frozen products are over expired.

Review №81

New more recent review, this place still has horrible service in the warm food areas. Instead of focusing on your order the workers start to talk amongst themselves. They attend other people that arrived later instead of the one already there. They will leave your order on the side for up to 10 or 15 minutes before actually getting to you. I had to wait 15 minutes for a single item. While I waited the lady who was supposed to be attending me went with about 5 others before coming to me.Really disappointed in this place, waited inline to get served and the girl their attended someone else instead(not the first time). If the cooks cant keep up with the number of people,they should put a ticket machine like in the other two spots in the store. From now own I am completely avoiding this place.

The usual Mexican store with a messy atmosphere cheap fruits vegetables sale every Tuesdays. I recommend their bakery Dept. Cake is delicious specially the flan with chocolate cake is very smooth & moist it melt into your mouth highly recommended their cakes. Cashiers & the manager should be reoriented in customer service.
