I come here when we go to StationCoffee Shop to get last minute items. But in January I come for my Los Tres Reyes family dinner. They know what pernil is and all the other dishes I need to make it authentic. Been doing it for decades. Always delicious. The staff is helpful and friendly. Its always clean and well stocked. Will be shopping again soon.
This shop should named as Spanish shop. No one can speak English properly not even the manager himself. And they says they accept WIC program but within limited items and if you ask questions guess what you won’t get anything. Not a good recommendation
Ideal is a great little supermarket. They have nice produce, and good meat. I can always find what Im looking for, and the employees are always helpful and friendly. They also have a pretty decent beer selection. And they have a great selection of fresh rolls and breads. Fantastic.
Love the variety and prices. Never too busy and people are super friendly. Ive been coming here for years because of all the ethnic foods and selection. Favorite supermarket!
Small store with ethnic food (south America and Caribbean), I go there for some fruits and veggies from those cultural backgrounds but also for meat cuts I cannot find anywhere else. Some items are sold at unbelievably low prices comparing to other stores around ... Their daily produce section (a selection of whatever needs to go) comes at a super low cost. Dont expect a big supermarket like many around but give this place a chance ... it is worth checking!Addendum: I am afraid I have to edit this review in time of Covid-19 pandemic as going there seems to be high risk. Not only you regularly see customers NOT wearing a mask but more inexcusable, the staff in the aisle (and even the boss often standing by the cashier) have their nose out of their facial mask (cashiers are usually protected adequately). I personally feel this is showing great disregard for our communitys health! I will avoid going to this place from now on!
Honestly this place has great prices, a pretty good selection of food for a smaller store and they pack a lot of brand names. The produce section has a nice variety and their deli counter has some delicious choices.They also have a good beer selection and some essentials in the front!
This is my favorite grocery store! This staff is so friendly, they bag for you and the store is on the small side. They have unbeatable prices on pre-cut fruit bowls/platters, the feta cheese is also inexpensive. I love the wide selection in a small store, it simplifies food shopping and saves me money!
It takes a little while to get used to what they are good at, but in several categories they are unmatched.Their meat, fish, basic cooking ingredients are so much better and cheaper than anywhere else. Also they have items from all over Latin America no one else has.Things they do bad: snacks, diary, anything frozen, any luxury item.If you are trying to save money by cooking you can do it at ideal for half the price.
Very convenient local grocery both for weekly shops and grab and dash. Meat and fish departments are standout and produce is always fresh. Large selection of SA foods.
Almost everything in this shop is overpriced. Meat is reasonably okay. One good thing I can mention is, you can buy fish here. But again, in terms of quality it’s just mediocre.
Expensive and not very clean. Lots of Spanish specialty foods.
Great place... the service is amazing. Fresh free coffee at the entrance and they help you with your bags to your car. Everyone is friendly. Great selection of delicacies and meats
I thoroughly enjoy this store. I find things that are new to my experience. I also find everything that I look for that I am used to. Thank you exceedingly😃
Great local supermarket and offers varied Spanish products. Produce could be improved and watch for expired products. Staff is very accommodating.
Nice store for your needs. Good for the locals !! Shop then your in and out !!
Great local market! For all your conventional products as well as for hard to find ethnic products.
Fresh food, great organic selection. Cant beat the prices. Very friendly staff.
Clean, fresh, and great location. Dont forget to check dates, because sometimes things stay on the shelf for a bit, but thats with every store.
I feel like the prices are a bit higher than at other grocery stores, although they do carry some hard-to-find items.
Customer service is wonderful. And fresh good produce and meats . My favorite food market so far.
Theyre not bad but could do a lot to improve. I frequently find expired food still on the shelves for example
Immaculate SuperMarket carrying a lot of unique ethnic items you dont see in your average SuperMarket.
Always fresh produce and good turn over in the meat department, decent sale items, helpful staff
This place has great prices, a pretty good selection of food for a smaller store.
I was at this dump the other night And I got there at 9:52 p.m. and they denied me entrance saying that there were closed when the sign said that they closed at 10:00 p.m. They are required to be open till 10:00 p.m. as stated on the sign not them leaving at 10:00 p.m. Really upset about the situation hopefully I could speak with someone from their corporate office or something
Have lots of items sold here, most people dont speak english, prices are very questionable but its a decent store
Its not super size grocery store but they make up fpr it with genuine customer care.
Nice and small grocery store with lots of ethnic food choices.
One of the best places to find cheap produce and meats. There is also lots of imported Hispanic products
Nicely located store. Good customer service. Simply the best!
Great spot for produce and South American specialty items. Great spice selection as well.
Okay selection and helpful management, very friendly staff, but the meat section needs work.
Quality is terrible, you can find bugs and expired stuff everywhere. Check expiration dates and impact packages, fruits, etc before buying.
Staff is very helpful, wish they had some power carts to get around the store.
Had everything such an amazing selection of real ethnic food.
I wish they have more sales (relevant to me) so that I will go more often 😁
Its a decent supermarket with friendly staff and fresh food.
The Are not the freshest..the cashiers are not friendly at all .. Ive been in this store a few times.. and each time bad customer service!

Quite expensive
Clean
Its where I go shopping
Nothing special
Good place
It is a good place to buy but it needs more variety and the prices are not the best if we compare it with the Hispanic supermarket competition, it is a bit above the price. But from there everything is fine. I believe that. The variety of varieties of fruit and vegetables are few apart, the fruits are not always fresh, we look at the mangoes but from there everything is very easy to access attention. Quick friendliness and customer service is excellent. Im not complaining about all that. Its good place
Good supermarket, quality products, very varied products and you find everything you need
What I liked the most was that the cashier attended us kindly and in our Spanish language
Na
Good customer servicing
Very well
The best in all Port Jefferson

2022-03-23Horrid, the store itself has a small selection of items but this isnt even the worst part. The store is horrendously dirty with dust and grime everywhere and the smell is absolutely atrocious. Half the store has the stench of rotting food which if I had to guess comes from the refrigerated/frozen isle. Many of the doors are smashed and cracked and condensation covers almost all of them which leads one to assume they fluctuate in temperature wildly constantly defrosting and refreezing which leads the food to rot. I bought some hot pockets and was later not having a fantastic time in the bathroom. Dont shop here ever.

2021-11-23During the pandemic, they were selling $15 surgical masks for $100. I used to like this store until I realized that they are opportunist and took advantage of people in the middle of chaos.

2019-07-26I enjoy shopping there, especially the cashiers and Joe are very friendly. The store has decent sales, a varied selection, and plenty of specialty food products. The hours run late enough. I am grateful that they are in the community that I live in. The atmosphere is calm and friendly. I enjoy the coleslaw and produce.
