Arlan's Market 13

More of your Mexican favorites here than the Mexican grocery store. This grocery store is located at the intersection end of Kingsbury St (Hwy 90) and bypass 123. Upon entering, I noticed the shelves were well stocked and neat.The floors were in need of buffing and there was a musty smell, though, this is an older building. Every employee I passed said Good morning, even the manager. The produce was fresh and cheap (cucumbers big as a donkey's woohoo 50 cents).They had Mexican candies, tons of chicharons, churritos, Mexican sodas, juices, 20 kinds of hot sauces and chamoys from Mexico, bread from Naeglins, and Pan bread from a bakery in Houston, and cafe du' monde and French Market brand chicory coffee in a can.Oh, they also make their own jams and tons of pickled products (over 40), and all around $4.99, which is about 4 dollars cheaper than Bucees. One thing lacking is I would like to see a small deli making hot tacos like the HEB does also in Seguin.

I am new to this area (Schertz,TX) and I will avoid HEB when ever possible. It's just too busy for me...gets my anxiety going. I found Arlan's and decided this will be my first stop for my groceries. I walk in and feel relaxed. There is no sense of urgency like I feel at HEB. Everyone is friendly and helpful. From the workers to the customers! I just wish they had prepackaged salads.

The meat market closes at 4 and if the meat you want is not available, too bad! I found the manager to be rude and uncaring. Won't go again. I complained to the head office via email and they didn't get back to me. I won't support this kind of business.

I've been to this place a couple of time and every time they are really chill and have good prices.
