Great place to do some grocery shopping. It is near where I live so its not bad. I could not tell you much about the Meat department since we don’t buy any there. The lines move quick and if there is a line taking too long one of the(what i think) managers gets on a closed register and moves the lines along. The only complain is the parking situation. I know it is out of their control since it is not their property, but there needs to be a better definition of the parking spots. The lines are faded and also way too close. I have a big truck and I have to park behind the store sometimes(extra parking). Also, you have to deal with the gym crowd next door.

Awesome market! Great people and amazing service! Definitely recommend going to this place. The best thing about this grocery store is there meat produce, always fresh and delicious :-)

I just moved to the area a few months ago and was in search of a local market, luckily I came across El Picador Foods which was just a couple blocks away from where I stay. This place is awesome! They had everything a grocery store should have and the place is maintained pretty nicely. Not to mention the great assistance from the employees that were more than happy to help me. They have a full service meat department ranging from all different kinds of meats such as fresh beef, poultry, pork. and seafood. I definitely recommend this place to any one and I’m pretty sure you will find exactly what you need, plus more!

I love this market. The meat and produce is always fresh. The prices are good. The owners and staff are super friendly. A few months back I asked them if they stock fat free organic milk, the owner was more than happy to order it for me. Awesome service!

This local market has almost everything you need if you don’t want to stop by known market like Vons or Albertsons. I usually get marinated Carne asada meat or veggies here. There’s usually no long lines so I can get in and out pretty quickly. Overall a great place to buy food if you live near this local market.

Just went here for the first time looking for carne asada… Found a surprisingly large meat station with pretty much everything you could imagine at decent prices. They also do multi pound package deals where you pick how much meat you want and they give you a variety pack for your freezer. Once I make some room I will def go back for the freezer pack of various steaks etc.

Picador is the place. Its where everybody knows your name. Been there since as long as I can remember. I wish there were more picadors in other areas. Somewhere you can stop by get something you need for dinner maybe toilet paper oh ya a beer but don’t want to go to wal mart. Because some how walmart always takes 30 minutes or more. If you live close 90% already go to el picador and if not you should check it out. They even got an ad with pretty good deals. They take ebt. W.I.c. Its great. Really nice workers. Spanish and english. They got lotto, beer, meat, milk, fruit, veggies, toilet paper you name it. Its a quick stop for you small needs. stop by…
