Awesome seafood selection! Display stalls are set up like in an old school market so you can actually see how fresh it is! Also lots of fresh veggies, stuff you won’t find in a conventional grocery store.

I wish I could give them a 3.5. The place is ok in terms of produce but when getting the produce if they are vegetable please check them throughly. I was a bit dissapointed when I bought some avocados in February when they looked fine in the surface but when I opened them they were rotten. This is something that could happen everywhere. Aside from that the cashiers could be a bit more nicer or welcoming. The place is a go to place whenever I have the cravings for some snacks from back home. The pricing unlike what others have mention is not that bad if you compare it to shop rite. My only con would be I wish they offer more sales for Almond milk!

Caution, the spaces in the parking lot are *very* narrow so it might be smart to park farther out from the store if you want to be able to open your car door and get in when you are done shopping. My car isn’t that big but I got boxed in and could not open my door until the next-door car’s owner came out.

We were on our way back to PA from the beach and had a sunburn, we were looking for a place to buy spears of Aloe Vera and we found this place — I am soo happy we were sunburned that day cause we found the jackpot with this place. It is about a 40 minute ride from my house but oh so worth it!

My wife is from Colombia, so whenever she needs to make up pot of sancocho or ajiaco, this is the go-to location for us. For the Latino, Carri bean or Asian shopper, it’s a real godsend with a expansive selection of all things melting pot. The produce selection is very large, as are the meat and the seafood area has products, conch for example, that aren’t likely to be able to find anywhere else in the area. That being said, what they don’t carry is as telling as what they do carry. In the meat section they’ve got hens and hog’s face, but you can’t always find a rib-eye. The produce selection is large, but don’t look for any organic products or you’ll be wandering the aisles for a long time. The selection in the market is aimed at low to middle income customers, and immigrant customers looking for products they know. There’s a large selection right in the middle of the store labeled«Welcome Home» where customers can find hundreds of brands imported in from all over the world. The lack of organic foods is an issue for me, but I understand that I’m not their core customer either. I’d also like to know where the vegetables, fish and meats are from before I buy them, but that’s not likely to happen. If you’re trying to be careful about where your food is coming from and how it’s produced, this place isn’t your best choice. The variety of international foods is very good, and for that it’s a very good place to shop, but the gringo food choices aren’t nearly as complete, so unless you’re eating food from the old country 24 – 7, you might need to go somewhere else to find what you’re looking for. One other place where they really could stand to improve is their tiny food court. You’d think with all the wonderful products from all over the world that they’d have wonderful dishes available in the food court. That’s not the case. Cheap, fried, fast food and nothing else. If they’d expand the area and improve the selection, I’d probably find myself asking my wife for Colombian food more often just so I can go to the market with her.

Ok! So I just got back from Miami Beach and was dying to buy some products that would have cost me a bitter shipping fee from that big internet superstore that shall remain unnamed! After consulting Chowhound, I was pleasantly surprised to be informed that Food bazaar carried nearly every Latin American, South American, Carribbean product i would/could want. AND… it’s a mere hop skip and a jump away from me! I went this morning and was SHOCKED! How had I lived in it’s proximity for so long and not known about this place? The produce section is HUGE and priced for the budget! The meat section is unlike any other I have come across. Fresh meat and frozen! The tortilla and arepa section was a revalation! AND if that weren’t enough, they have a separate fish section! Oh the joy! In the bakery aisle, my much loved Coconut bread! And they did have the Peruvian aji amarillo both in paste and frozen form. I am so happy to have found this place!

I absolutely love that I can find all Latin American products here. There is a great variety, the produce is fresh and it isn’t crowded with peole. If you wish to use your manufacturers coupons though, this place always seems to give me a hard time. If they have a sale on the item you have a manufacturer coupon for, they won’t accept it.
