"This place is tucked away in a strip mall at 84th and F streets. I'd read other yelper reviews and wanted to try some of their made-to-order food. So I go in and the store is actually pretty tiny, but stocked with all kinds of Middle Eastern goods. A lot of canned and jarred food with quite a bit of frozen/refrigerated offerings thrown in for good measure. I didn't see a hot case or a kitchen, so I had to ask the man working there (I assume he's the owner) if they had hot food. He said yes and pointed to a laminated menu taped to the front counter. Now we're in business! I ordered a shourma beef ($3.50) and a falafel ($3) and the man disappeared in the back for about 5 minutes.So I browsed a bit, grabbed a couple cans of Vimto and a candy bar -- this needs to be a complete meal, right?Once he returned to ring me up, he mentioned to check out his Facebook page for weekly updates on their stock, which changes fairly often from what I gathered. Also, if you don't want to wait on your food order, he suggested calling ahead. Cool fava beans.So when I got home and dived into my food I was happy to find out that he makes a mean shourma beef. It's subtly spiced and tasty processed beef, some veggies and sauce wrapped in homemade flat bread. The falafel was along the same lines, just swap the beef for -- you guessed it -- falafel balls. Humble and delicious -- the best kind of food out there, in my opinion.I'll definitely back soon. And, like Sarah G said in her review, I'm dying to try their pizza!"
"Saw that they have pizza now, nabbed myself a slice and it was really tasty. Toppings were great, and had a good ratio of cheese, sauce and meat. It's a little greasy but as most pizza is. Definitely Worth a try ! The kitchen is a new addition and looks good. And Danny always gives the best customer service. Makes you feel like a friend or family when you're in there. Pizza 6.5/10 service 10/10."
"Nice little grocery store/butcher shop. Great selection of hot foods too: lots of meat dishes, tamales, beans and rice, elote. Oh, and you can walk through the store to the International Bakery next door!Staff are nice and are helpful, there might be a bit of a language barrier but everything will work out."

The term "hidden gem" gets used a alot but it truly applies here. This is a small grocery store tucked in a strip mall but they are turning out some awesome food.

Great selection! Large selection of chilled alcohol, soda, juices, sports drinks, and energy drinks. Fun array of candies, including both share-size and individual sized candies in a variety of flavors (especially if you like Lemonheads and Now N' Laters). Nice neighborhood vibe with friendly people behind the counter.

Love coming here for my carne asada, rice, beans, and real anything I need for grilling out! And not to mention the carnitas (usually needs salt, but nonetheless delicious) whenever I want to make some tacos or tortas. The people here are always friendly and its nice to know that a mask is required to enter. And a bonus that I can get a chicharrón preparado, some cut up mango with tajin, or an elote here.
