Love shopping here if you're on a budget. Lots of fresh produce. The smell of fresh breads ( bolio's) baking every day. Great price on Half n half, less then $4 for 64oz. Joe V's has limited selection(Brand names products)on items in the store. The only thing I have to complain about is the check out lines. It is always long & very busy when I go there.

Amazing HEB alternative. There are no HEBs near this area but this place carries HEB generic products and a wide variety at that. Only negative is that it's extremely high traffic. very very high traffic

The meat department terrible waited for oxtail for 50 min. I ask 4 different employees in the meat department do they have more oxtail available in the back all 4 employees said about 20 min, I walk around came back ask another employee to see if the oxtail ready, O just 5 more minutes, then other 10 minutes, now its 50 minutes. Now they all looking at me, another employee ask you still waiting. I think the guy package the oxtail now give him 5 more minutes. Crazy, " just say you don't have the oxtail ready for sale."
