The Best Grocery in Sacramento

Sampino's Towne Foods

★★★★★ 4.5 (694) • $$

"My boyfriend and I recently moved super close to this spot, but didn't know it existed until a coworker recommended it to us. The staff were all super nice (I only got the name of Andria, but she was very kind! I'm Autistic and tend to ask a lot of questions in places I haven't tried before because I'm really curious about things, and she answered everything and even let me try one of the olives I had never seen before and told me how they were made! She also recommended stuff to us from the menu for next time. An older man was super sweet and took our sandwich order, and two other employees were making sandwiches while we were in and they both made sure we'd ordered and were helped. Everyone was just so nice, the atmosphere is very chill and comfortable, and the food was INCREDIBLE!We got the Reuben (my favorite kind, I order it everywhere I try new!), and my bf got the chicken parmesan (which was the sandwich the coworker mentioned) -- both super delicious, very large and filling! Also got a lemon bar and it was good, too!Very happy with our first visit and will absolutely be back to try more of the menu. I wish they had a stamp card or something so we could check off everything we try, haha!"

Pacific Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (83) • $

"Found this place on social media...they have the best choices for craft beers and random beers from breweries all over the place. I love to come here and check out their IPA of the month or their Employees Top Pick, and it gives me an opportunity to sample beers I never would encounter elsewhere. Easy street parking, make sure to stop by and check them out!"

Carniceria Lopez

★★★★☆ 4.3 (93) • $

"Shrimp tostada is decent. Tender shrimp albeit kinda bland (nothing lime slices can't fix though). A bit disappointed on the bag of tortilla chips and tub of salsa roja that I also got. Supposedly the tortilla chips are house-made but they don't have the thick crunchiness that fresh tortilla chips have. Honestly they're like unflavored Doritos. Kinda stale too. The salsa roja has a strange sweetness like as if conventional hot sauce was added to it (it's also thicker than the salsa roja that I'm used to). Not my jam.Eh, overall the place is okay, but it's hard to strongly recommend this spot when there are a bunch of Mexican spots in the area, some that have better offerings."

Curtis Park Market

★★★★☆ 4 (85) • $$

"We go to Curtis Park Market for their excellent IPA choices. They keep their beer fresh and they have a fantastic selection. The best in town. This review is for the deli. They have about 20 different sandwiches divided between hot and cold and a few salads. Full sandwiches are $15, half a sandwich is $8.We split the hot chicken sando. It was well-made and one sandwich did two of us just right. The service was fast and friendly. I didn't like their prior sandwich guy, but these two dudes did a great job. My only complaint was the sandwich was kind of bland, but I am somebody who puts hot sauce or peppers on everything. It was tasty and I ate every bite. Needed pepperoncinis."

Fulton Green Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (66) • $

"Nice people with delicious food! Fulton Green opened years ago with the attached restaurant inside. I drive by the market many times and saw the restaurant with a outdoor BBQ station there. I finally tried them out today. Excellent foods and very nice people work there! I saw the outdoor seating every time when I drive passed the Fulton Green Market with the big outdoor BBQ station. I thought all they have is few tables and chairs at the sidewalks right next to the market. I found out I'm wrong today! They have a very nice indoor dining area inside. Clean and comfortable! I ordered the combination plate today with beef and chicken. OMG! It is so delicious and not as salty as many Kabobs restaurants. Both the beef and chicken was very juicy and coated with carbon BBQ tastes. This is one of the best tasty Kabobs beef and chicken I have enjoyed! The lady who take my orders are very friendly and helpful. She also bring the food to my table. I'm enjoyed my lunch there with very good food and service!"

Toledo's Market

★★★★☆ 3.5 (92) • $

"Close to home authentic little mexi-mart They have most of the traditional things you may need for a mexican dish, I purchase the nopales fresh paddles here for specialty drinks that I like to make. The most recent times I have gone, they are not only busy but also out of the paddles. I haven't had anything but very brief encounters with the staff, no one really stand out to me nor do they really try and converse much with me."

Safeway

★★★☆☆ 3 (110) • $$

"Hubby and I stopped into this location yesterday morning heading to our weekend getaway, since I forgot my sunglasses at home and needed a new pair to protect my eyes from the sun. The staff were nice, but not very knowledgeable about what they have in stock. Their were no mirrors by their sunglasses you'd expect to see to pick out the right shape for your face before purchasing a nice pair of sunglasses. Not to mention the sunglasses, along with the rack by their customer service was very dusty, so I didn't end up purchasing any. I did on the other hand purchase some Safeway brand toothpaste that worked just as good as Sensodyne for a lot less money that we were in need of! And we were able to use the restroom before hitting the road, as well as deposit a check at US Bank inside!"

Jimmy's Soul Food & Hmong Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (88) • $

"Ok - so i have been to Jimmy's many times, more in the 80's then recent, but it's Jimmy's, right?Things can't be that different, can they? YES, they can! It is now ran by Hmong folks and I never knew they cooked soul food, but in DPH (Del Paso Heights) they do!

Oh yeah- they used to have the bomb breakfast sandwiches so I will go back and try again...one day!"

Mi Rancho RC

★★★★☆ 4 (46) • $

"I came to this market a couple of times. Mainly, I wanted some snacks and drinks when I was in the area. The storefront of Mi Rancho pretty much let me know their focus on the Latin-American market. They have lots of yummy-looking food and drinks I can't seem to find in the regular supermarkets. I like Mexican and South American culture and their food. This store has it all. There is a Mexican restaurant attached to the Market. It looks good. But I have never tried it. I think I'll try them next time when I'm there. The store looks clean. The cashiers are friendly. The parking lot is enormous. But I do see a couple of homeless people in there!"

Marhaba Halal Market And Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (15)

"This place surprisingly great Mom and Pop's Halal Market. The good tastes great and the price is very affordable. Service was fast, and the two guys working there were very friendly. Clean and organized for a small packed place. You should try coimg here, great Gyros and Kabobs."

Halal Corner Market & Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Found this place because I was struggling to find breakfast in Sacramento. Was actually heading to the Mexican diner next door when I saw it. Knew the Middle East market would have something healthy and yummy.Came at a quiet moment on a Monday morning. I think this business is more than family friendly-- more like family loving! There was a mom with two little kids taking my order. I'll bet those children would have fun if you bring yours.Ordered Hummus with Pita -- $5. The dad who owns this business brought it to my table, along with a glass of water. The plate had a green salad, pickles and pickled beets. Just the right amount of food to get me back on the road.Browsed the grocery section and grabbed a container of cherry juice, some cream in a box, huge sack of rice flour (I make black sesame mochi cupcakes with that), and asked for help with picking a fresh pomegranate. Was given the best in the box, then they tossed in a free pomegranate as I left. Very affordable-- breakfast plus my groceries came $18.Very grateful to have found the Halal Corner Market on my trip. Added bonus as a surprise-- it's next to a Goodwill, where I found some cool vintage housewares."

My Mom and I drove up from Stockton for these awesome naan. They were fresh out of the oven. Variety of snack items , daals and many other items. I would highly recommend making the trip ."

Lighthouse Market & Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (14) • $

"They sure keep this place clean. Inside and out. Every morning they have a guy meticulously sweeping couple leaves in the parking lot outside the store. It shows me they care. And the family working there is always nice and friendly.Don't know how good their food is since I only stop for beer. In the evening time, you are always guaranteed to see some entertainment, whether it is a cracked up lady dancing by herself in the parking lot like Snooki or some homeless guy running around like crazy, rolling in the dirt. This place is where the action is at."

Shinwari Market & Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (19)

"I am afghan and i know what home food taste like. Let me tell you!!!! this place is the place you want to go if you want real taste of afghan food.

HEAVEN!!!My mom is jealous because we now go to the restaurant."

Towne Mart

★★★★☆ 3.5 (10) • $$

"I frequent this location as I work near by. It is great to have a store that is not only a gas station but also a deli. I pick up the breakfast taco's from Christina every morning and they are great! Not only is the staff very friendly but the location is always very clean. Also if you down load the app for the store you receive daily specials."

River Park Market

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (13) • $

"I love this little market place because it's convenient if you live in River Park. They have a decent spread. From milk to beer; chips to frozen pizzas; and all the snacks to fill your junk food craving. They also have a decent selection of wines for a small liquor store. River Park residents, support this local market! You never know when you'll be in the middle of baking and need eggs! You'll be thankful its right around the corner!!"
