Fresco Supermarket

Good and bad: like most reviews here said, you just gonna know what are you buying here. Got some beef ribs the other day it was cheap and amazing, went today and got some baked chicken and al pastor, the chicken was cheap and juicy, but then the al pastor was bad and smell like dead pig! Gonna be careful what I get next time, since I do like their prices, just gonna make better choices next time!
In short, be aware their marinated meats!

I usually go here to buy a breakfast burrito. Scrambled eggs, ham, potatoes and cheese in a pretty good size burrito for $ 2.99 is a good price. You just go to the meat section where they have cooked food and you ask them to make a breakfast burrito and they’ll make it for you. I like it better when the lady makes them because she knows how to wrap a burrito and makes it big. There are guys there that are just meat cutters but sometimes they make the burritos if the lady is not there. My only comment about the guys making the burrito is that they do not wash their freaking hands. It’s gross. One time there was a guy mopping and sweeping and I asked him to make me a burrito and he started to cook and cut the ham and he grabbed the ham with his bare hands without washing his hands which grossed me out. And while he was cooking I saw him sweeping around while waiting for the food to cook. Then he would put the broom aside and would continue to hold the food with his dirty hands. I lost my appetite while waiting. I would have said something but that guy doesn’t speak English. I just simply didn’t pay for the burrito and just bought something else.

Booooooooo. I never come here for a reason, but this time I was with my sister she was getting soup and I had a tuna steak at home so I decided to buy a ricearoni to go with my tuna steaks, I bought chicken and mushroom flavor… got home excited to start my dinner. opened the ricearoni to find little worms inside the box crawling in with the dried rice =(not COOL.

Came here like at. 8:00 to get some groceries after stopping by to eat at Pizza Co. Walking in the first thing you smell is the stench of the meat department… You know the smell of a butcher shop? Picture that with a smell of rotten meat and a hint of dead animal. I thought at first it was just at the entrance since the meat is near by… Going to the dairy half way in the smell was the same. Decided to just leave instead. Never had I experienced a grocery store like this one!

I love to support our community stores but was so disappointed in the customer service I received. I probably spend $ 400+ a month at the Fresco, I’m there every week. During our camping trip, the marinated meat and ceviche I bought from there was spoiled. At the time I attributed it to the traveling and RV fridge not completely being cold yet. Until this past Monday I bought a week’s worth of meat, as I was walking out I smelled something off. It was a pack of bad chicken that I almost took home. I notified them of the spoiled meat and went home. Now 3 days later I pull out ground round for dinner, and it’s putrid. So I go back to the store and explain the situation, to what seems to be their manager. She then gives me attitude, scolding me saying, «well you didn’t buy it like that!» Then proceeds to tell me that she won’t refund my money, after arguing with her and even pulling the checker that served me that day, she only let me exchange. So now I’m completely boycotting Fresco, and warning all of my «Heighters» to be aware of their rotten meat and horrible customer service.

I wish that I could glow about this convenient, community market. But the unfortunate truth is that both the service and the products are far below par. Too many times we have found that something we purchased was already expired – and I don’t mean milk or eggs – although that has been the case. I mean cereal, chips and other items, too. Come on Fresco, you can do better. We want to keep you around!

I come here for their cheap produce prices. Quality is definitely a hit or miss, so you will need to spend some time picking through the selection. Bananas are usually dirt cheap at 3LBS for $ 0.99 during their Wed, Thur, Fri sales. Definitely worth checking out their weekly ad to see what is cheap. Otherwise their prices are average like any other local market.

You can’t miss it coming from Gale Ave. You can turn into any section of the parking lot, even behind the AutoZone, and still get to Fresco.
The thing I love about Fresco is their prices. Since I eat more fruit than I drink water, I buy more fruit than I do their other produce items. I bought 2 grapefruits, each the size of double Ds, for 54 cents !!? A 1.96 lb of red seedless grapes for 97 cents. 10-​lb bag of potatoes for $ 1.99. Vons, try to beat that!
The thing I don’t like, unfortunately, is the ambiance, if you will. Not as cleanly as Vons or Ralphs.

Friendly and helpful staff. Low prices, which matches the quality of the produce. The management should do something more about the smell of bad meat that hits you when you enter the store.

This review is solely for the produce section.
Despite what the other reviewers say, I’ve always had a great experience with Fresco. They have a VERY wide variety of fruits and vegetables that are always in good shape. Their prices are UNBELIEVABLE!
A whole bag of carrots for $ 1.00! Huge yams are only a couple cents. A box of strawberries for $ 1.00! The list goes on and on…
I haven’t shopped there for their regular groceries, but I would say that it’s about the same price as other supermarkets.

Conveniently located on the way home from work, I find myself popping in once a week or so. It mainly caters to the Hispanic demographic, but it is a full service grocer. Highlights are a butcher counter featuring well priced but moderate quality meats, and the produce section which has cheap, moderate quality fruits and veg.
If I lived in the neighborhood, I probably wouldn’t do my weekly shopping here.

Only go when you absolutely need something! The quality is very low!

I stop here only on emergency. The one and only time I purchased meat I had to returned it due to the fact that when we grilled for our carne asada get together, it taste like how a dog would smell when it’s wet, Eeewww nasty meat at this place. My star goes to their fruit you can «sometimes» find.

Simple A-​Ok… Just convenient, Not the cleanest market, and yes the prices on the fruits and veggies can’t be beat, but the freshness is out the window here. They over pack some sections with produce that only have a day or two left of shelve life.
A slight smell seems to always fill the air here due to the fruit & vegatable section.
I noticed birds flying around in the store on my last few trips! What the…
The staff here is friendly. They have a lotto & check cashing booth here.
Oh well, just a place to stop for a quick item or two. This was once a Ralph’s that i miss!

The meat section was and is terrific since the last time I was here. Apparently the owners hired a new meat manager Marco Hernandez and his customer service was awesome. The meat was clean and fresh, the prices were great. Everybody enjoyed the carne asada and chicken and my grill party. I will definitly will go back to FRESCO Supermarket. Thank you Marco!!!

Four Loko ($ 2.89)
AAaaaaaand, the award for the saddest representation of Superman in a ceramic figurine bust goes to… drum roll please… FRESCO!
somebody get the man of steel some wellbutrin or zoloft please.
Oh, by the way… Four Loko really does taste like Satan’s Piss… with a hint of watermelon.

Their produce 9 times out of 10 is NOT fresh and on the verge of rotting. I think they restock on Wednesday so to get the «freshest» batch, come on that day.
I remember this used to be a Ralphs back in the day… they need to close this place down and open up a better market so this side of Hacienda Heights doesn’t have to drive to Vons or Superior on Hacienda Blvd. for fresher produce.
Only good thing about this place is the small freezer full of paletas for 89 cents.
Oh and I’m also not a fan of the $ 5 minimum charge they have for using credit/​debit cards. What if I just want to buy 1 or 2 paletas and I have no cash on me? Don’t make me buy 5!

I would first like to say that getting to this site to write a review was almost impossible, since I would be redirected as soon as would get close. I would like to say that I have had nothing but bad experiences with this FRESCO MARKET of Industry as far as the quality of their food and products go. Avocados are always rotten by the time they get ripe and the ripe ones on display are already rotten. The meat just doesn’t taste fresh and smells kinda funny when cooked. That goes for the chicken, pork and beef. Havent bought any fish yet. The fruit always seems to be bruised or second rate. I just bought a 18 pack of beer that was on sale and two of the cans were empty. Something damaged the cans and leaked out the product. It also tasted old or like it had gotten warm after being refridgerated. This isnt the first time for any of this. I always hoped it was just a once or twice kinda thing, but this seems to be every time I shop there. It’s ironic that this stores name is «FRESCO» meaning fresh in spanish. Even the grapes have a cluster of rotten ones in the bunch. There is not much «FRESCO» food here as far as I’m concerned. I don’t recommend this store to grocery shop. Better to drive the extra mile or two to another store than put up with this place for the sake of convenience. Two thumbs down for «FRESCO MARKET». I give it one star since there is nothing lower to choose from.
