Canseco's Esplanade Market

Stopped in for a quick grocery run when I was in the neighborhood. There is a lot in this small space!I bought some fruit, some snacks and some of the prepared foods. Staff was helpful. Food was tasty. And shelves were stocked. Love a local market!

Quality grocery experience!!I was extremely disgruntled once I learned the owner of Rouses grocery was a flaming Trumpy:( lucky for me Canseco's was always better anyways. Always a pleasant experience walking by and the scent of the fresh hot plates luring in faithful customers such as myself. Delightful encounters with employees, I always leave with a lasting sense of fulfillment reassured I have restored my love for humanity through my local bodega.

I like Conseco's for a neighborhood grocery, but it Rev's to be pricey. I did find some things that I wanted (think cheese, wine, bread) and overall I was happy with it. But honestly, if I lived in Nola it would only be where I'd go if I was über busy and needed milk or bread or the like. Think prices of WF.

Nice little local market with lots of groceries! The wine selection was amazing! I really wanted to try some of the sliced cakes, but I don't want to undo all the calories burned on our epic bike ride today! Lots of fresh veggies and meats/seafood. Very convenient If you're in the neighborhood.

Honestly I enjoy this little grocery/food GEM! Very good as it relates to getting items that you may not be able to obtain in a Walmart or other chain establishment. You have alcohol at a good affordable price (the options are pretty unique. Your usual bread/protein/endless soda/water options/fruit/etc. What I absolutely adore is their cooked food section. I probably come and get the roast beef and shrimp (surf and turf) like every Tuesday or Wednesday. The food is really good to say this is a grocery store. The staff is always pleasant and ready to assist with whatever needs you may have. Sometimes if an item is out of stock they are even knowledgeable about what other market may carry the brain or something similar to it. Overall you really just cant go wrong!

Nice neighborhood store. Well stocked. Clean and orderly. friendly staff. Little pricey on some items and others very competitive! Well pleased. Parking can be an issue

I give a one star review because the cashiers are rude, unfriendly, and will NOT empty your basket. The literally stand there and look at you, sometimes on their phone, and say "would you empty your basket." They do not smile or say hello, thank you or have a nice day, even if you say hello and greet them nicely and say have a nice day. I am the CUSTOMER. I went in on Wednesday after 5 and the cashier told me to empty the basket she also told me where to return the basket! In fact, if they had emptied the basket to make it more efficient for everyone, I would have immediately returned the basket. I will try one more time at this store, and I go at least 3 times a week. Be warned, the next time they tell me to empty my basket, I will dump it on the counter and walk out the door. The other great qualities of this store are ruined by the cashiers. Management needs to train them or replace them.

For the most part this is a fantastic store and great for the neighborhood. Since the remodel it is laid out, the stock is generally full, the produce section is terrific. The store is spotless and the customer service at the deli is great.The only reason I put 3 stars and not 5 is the customer service at checkout. I find them rude and not helpful. What's up with please empty your basket it will help me? I'm sorry, I don't work out at Canseco's and how much effort is it to reach in a basket and scan items? I may as well go to a bigger grocery store and use self-check out. There is absolutely no reason for this. Yesterday, the cashier would not even move the basket closer (I had other bags in my hands) and glared at me and said please move it closer. On top of that I did not realize where the bags were with items and she raised her voice at me and said they are right there, take both. All the while she was texting on her phone. This is terrible customer service. The front end staff need a lot of training on customer service and no texting while working. I can easily go to Winn Dixie and use self checkout, but I prefer local grocers like Cansecos.With some improvements at the front this store would surely receive 5 stars from me. Having a great grocer like this in the neighborhood is what makes it a neighborhood.

My sister and I have been here many times and usually our experience is just fine. However, we visited yesterday and had a terrible experience. We both checked out separately with different cashiers and purchased about 8 total items. My sister finished before me and had purchased multiple items and a case of water. I went to another cashier, and I purchased some cherries only and then took all of her bags so she could grab the case of water. We left the store and as we're loading the car, the security guard, who was sitting at the door when we left and didn't stop or ask us ANYTHING, rushed out asking us if we stole the water and asking for a receipt. My sister told him she paid but wasn't given a receipt. He argued back and forth with us until one of the other cashiers (a black woman) had to rush out saying we had paid. We left upset because we were in a rush but called back to report the incident and the manager, Jackie, was rude, condescending, and racist and frankly not helpful. We pointed out that if it's the policy to check receipts for non bagged items, receipts should not be optional but automatically given. Also, we said it looks and feels terrible for two young black women to be wrongfully chased down by security and accused of stealing anything, but especially a pack of water they're basically struggling to carry, in a majority white neighborhood/community. She said she would talk to the security only but since he was a black man that the situation was not about race but about him not checking receipts. We pointed out that the cashier who told him that we did not pay was a new white male and that was the problem. There were 3 cashiers up there and we checked out with 2 separate cashiers and had multiple bags so why is the assumption from one cashier that we stole a water ok?! She also said she was from Africa (South African probably given her English accent) and therefore could not be racist. I asked to speak with the owners because we've been loyal customers to all of the Canseco's in the city over many years and have NEVER had an issue like this. Jackie wouldn't give me any information on how to contact them except for "they're here sometimes". My sister and I are honestly deeply disturbed by this experience and will not shop here again and tell every we know to do the same.

The best cansecos in New Orleans! I bought some broccoli and cheese casserole and mixed veggies as sides for my steak. Everything was delicious and the cashiers are really nice, I also love the layout of this little store. I will definitely be returning!
