Today I went to this store with my hood over my head because it was raining I walked in and the guard looked at me up and down. I went on the first isle put the hot sauce in the hand basket and the guard walked up to me and told me I had to leave because a worker identified me as somebody that can no longer come in the store. The guard checked my bag because I guess he thought I stole some damn hot sauce and ended up seeing it in the basket. I refused to leave because I knew I wasn't the person they thought I was and the guard called the police on me. My mother came to have my back and then the police came. After a few minutes the managers came from the back and talked to the police officer. And the police officer came to me and said they realized you are the wrong person, a girl had came in the store earlier stealing and they thought it was me. My mama had to make the manager apologize to me. Let me tell y'all I have never been so ashamed in my life! I was crying people was laughing at me the workers, customers, and the guard was looking at me crazy. I was only in the store for a minute probably seconds it was so crazy! So embarrassing! I was the only black person in the store! I'm 21 years old I look like a child but you shouldn't treat nobody like that not even a child I knew my rights and I really thought I was going to jail for something that I didn't do.

I stopped by this establishment yesterday afternoon to pick up some vegetables to make a beautiful dinner for my family. Another woman nearby had a daughter playing around. Suddenly, a short, heavy set security man approached us and told the woman and myself (I had my little son with me), in a very rude and nasty way, that this was not a basketball court, and to tell our children to stop horsing around. To begin with, my son was not playing around! I got so angry that I did not purchase anything, and left the full cart in front of him. He seemed to act like he had authority in the place because of his uniform. He really got lucky that I did not ask for the manager. In conclusion, to avoid mistreatment such as this, I will not return ever again.

  • Raymond Robinson

I been shopping at this store for years on Broadway st. Yesterday for some reason I got followed by a guy the whole time and he stood at the door while I checked out. As soon as I left the store, he left too. I went back into confront him and then he responded by saying he doesn’t speak any English. Why am I, a tax paying citizen getting profiled by someone not even from this country? I won’t spend any money here. Just know if you’re black and you go into this store you will be followed throughout the store.

  • Omar Moran

They had no lettuce heads of any kind so we were forced to buy the prepackaged type. EXPIRED. Noticed after we conaumed a bit and it had a funky smell but I washed it. Not feeling sick yet but it left me feeling sick. Took it back and Silvia the manager seemed unfazed. Doesn’t look like they have anyone to check on things, I’d hate to get expired meat so I’d check the dates on things. Make sure the freezers are working too.. won’t be going back. Michoacána has better produce

  • Omar Moran

I bough get some packaged lettuce bc they were out of the regular fresh lettuce. It was EXPIRED. They need to start checking their products. I know sometimes the fridges aren’t working so I wouldn’t buy meat from there. If they can’t do a simple thing as product control, checking shelves for expired products, I wouldn’t trust the meat. Silvia the manager was unfazed by it, she just simply returned as if it wasn’t a big deal… like it happens all the time….

  • Alma Almazan

Today I went to purchase some meat for a barbecue and I found everything I needed is always reasonable prices the only thing that upset me today as there was 10 of us in line and only one cashier and the manager was sitting down texting on his phone when you go during the week you see up to three cashiers today on a Sunday being one of the busiest days you only have one cashier that don't make no sense so today I give them a very low rating

  • Terika Chandler

The people were not nice, they priced items wrong and then were telling me that I would have to pay and substantially higher amount for meat even though the mean I picked was already priced and packaged...totally unprofessional and they would talk in Spanish to one another in front of me and I dont speak Spanish so I felt Luke they were telling secrets/lies between each other. Hated my 1st and only visit there

  • Marvin Teal

I just had lunch special here $5.99 Two gorditas with 22.oz drink come with it . After 3:00pm a whole rotisserie chicken for $3.99 That price is cheaper than Walmart hands down. one of the managers name Alvarado he is a very pleasant individual. He introduced himself to me today this was third time I seen him in the store .

  • Marisol Hernadez

I don't like coming here unless I absolutely have to cuz the produce is always old the meat is not kept at proper temperature is not clean. The ahorro on capitol is way better id rather make the 15 minute drive. Every time I come to the Broadway location im so disappointed

  • Eve Sosthand

I love this market..so clean and fresh..the clerks are proffessional and friendly...however I would love to buy "Zummo Partytime Sausage" there and its not....UPDATE: El Ahorro now has "Zummo Party time Sausage" YOU ROCK! Now for some turkey sausage …

  • Lia Prewitt

You would be better off going to Walmart. First time going today and I didn't like it. ESPECIALLY the meat section. The cashier was so slow. She constantly continued to put my items in a big then take them out saying it didn't ring up.

  • Mommy on a budget

No one speaks English and it hard to get help even though it says must be bilingual to work there so I must always send my husband or call him on the phone when I need asking where something is or if something happens

  • Thaddeus Dixon

This is the perfect place to learn Spanish, dont day you live off rock hill if you never been in here, produce is always fairly priced and they have money orders when the surround gas stations dont work

  • Yesi Trevi

It's nice and clean. Well-organized. Great when you're looking for Mexican products. However, their aisles are quite narrow. Friendly staff. There's also an area to order food and eat it there, too.
