Honestly I can see this place being so much better but I am not really sure what's going on with the place. There meat dept is pretty good but the tortilla end of things and the bakery seems to always be shut down and in low supply. Pretty good selection in produce but it could use a good update to make Albertson and Vinson shoppers more interested to come by. Give it more of a farmers market feel. It's what we need for this part of the hood.

I was really going to give this place more stars even though their whole fence/gate system sucks but after seeing the comments from the owner in previous reviews I changed my mind. I am shocked to see the owner of this business reply to these reviews in an unprofessional manner. Clearly there are many issues that need to be addressed and resolved by the owner but instead of making positive changes to his business he would rather come on here to be rude to people who have shopped at his business. And the 1 star review is because this place is actually organized and clean.Lastly, don’t bring a stroller.

Good deals most of the times. Staff always helpful.

No one speaks English, nor wants to. I asked about the price of something and magically no one can speak English. Their website looks and functions like a mediocre Facebook page. No one wants to help you at all. Look at the replies from the owner to the negative reviews left from other people. He mocks other people and outright lies about the food not being bad. He also responds negatively and states those people are all lying. I'm sure he'll edit his replies. 4.1 out of 5 stars is bad for a food store. People having their credit card info stolen to spoiled fish and meat. He doesn't accept responsibility or accountability. JUST AVOID SHOPPING HERE.

Wowza! Went to new location to see my best dog groomer ever and searched for a produce place and super happy about Hanks. Making backed veggies from my wonderful supply of veggies from, Hanks. Wonderful roasted chicken.#Hanks #GoldenDogGroomers #TheSecretLifeofHiddenDisabilities #kimmyskitchen

Just want to let the Manager/Owner to fix and put in the correct position of the flag Philippines cause its upside down. The BLUE color should be UP and the RED is at BOTTOM. We tried to talk to the manager the day we saw it but never got the chance to meet them. I hope they read this and fix it. Thanks!

It's a good farmers market they have every veggie you can think of. He has a large section of Asian and Mexican food and spices. Not to much of any other culture of people. But it's a pretty good store.

I've always loved the flower tortillas but quality has suffered greatly. They have become very thin (sometimes half the tortilla will be so thin it tears), many times tortillas will be very small. They still taste great though it seems like less flour is being used in making them. I understand they have become more expensive due to inflation but quality should not suffer.

I want to support this store, it's local and we have been coming here for a long time but it looks like my mom just had her bank card cloned at this store.She doesn't have a lot of money, but they still zeroed her out. After speaking to the bank, they confirmed last usage was at Hank's and that they have had previous reports at this very store.Going to review my bank statements now since I too shop there.

Had some time to kill while getting an oil change, so I walked over to Hank's. Hank's is a pleasant surprise. This place is great, it has great produce, fresh tortillas, some food. Good bright lighting. Everyone was super friendly, and I go back all the time now.

I was excited when the location underwent a change and decided to check it out. I visited on a Tuesday evening with my 2 month old. If you are familiar with the building there is a white fence surrounding the building. I put my two month old in the stroller and approached the storefront - that’s when I realized I couldn’t get over the fence and enter the store since the gates were locked. I was ready to turn back but two kind gentlemen lifted my stroller over the white fence so that I could enter the store. I proceeded in doing my very light shopping and left. I could only come to the conclusion that the gates were closed so the shopping carts don’t end up in the parking lot but I believe having those gates locked is creating an accessibility issue. I hope the owner reads this and realizes that those gates need to be open for those who may have mobility devices (wheelchairs, scooters etc.) or even a stroller and may enter with ease.

It’s possible this location was bought and is being rebranded as “Hank’s.” So more changes might be coming.I come here for the fresh tortillas, the bakery, and produce. The produce prices are usually the cheapest in the area.—Prices have gone up since my last review, but still a good neighborhood store.

Great place to find items needed in between monthly shopping trips for food supplies. Prices are good and they always have a fresh selection. They can improve a little more on the open registers during peak hours but it still doesn't take long to go in and out quickly. Have to mention the lady at the register today was great in keeping her composure when a customer was asking very rudely for her receipt and cursed at her before walking out when told it was in the bag (I think she was having a bad day!). Will definitely try to stop by more often.

Great neighborhood market. Check the specials on the flyer before you shop. My go to place now instead of Carnival or Northgate because it's closer to my home and they have good produce.

Just avoid shopping here. It’s unbelievable how many times my mil has gotten expired food from this store despite the sticker with the expiration date claiming it’s fresh and new. My 2 year old has gotten sick TWICE IN A MONTH with vomiting and diarrhea that has lasted 2 weeks!! A family member got very sick and because she ate something expire from the dairy department from this store. The produce that is bad its put on discount, so they know that the produce is bad and they want to get rid of it by selling it instead of putting that in the trash were it should be! My mil bought me raspberries that had mold, it was very obvious even with the package closed that the raspberries had mold. This is a health hazard, selling expired foods and manipulating the expiration and packaging dates. You could be a better store for the community that sells fresh produce and food that people won’t get sick from eating!!

I lived in San Diego a few years ago and this was known then as Mi Familia Supermarket, but visiting recently I noticed the name Hank's. To me nothing really has changed in this market try, still has awesome meats and tortillas! The produce is still great quality and staff friendly. Keep coming to this store, it's still a gem!

I just came in to get to large cooked shrimp and there you go ! It goes to the trash can ! Not only it smells nasty but it’s also slimy ! It’s my fault for trusting this place matter of fact that their salmon looked really rotten and I had no other alternatives just to get the cooked shrimp but unfortunately it was really expensive and rotten ! Never coming to this health hazard market !

I juiced constantly and this supermarket helps me get the fresh ingredients. The cucumber, carrots, celery and tomatoes are always on sale. They have great selection of produce. Ive been shopping here since 2011 and I visit the store 3x a week. The cashiers are friendly and the place is clean. I personally like the sale section and the weekly ads, it saves me money. I’m lucky this store is close to my house.

Nice place for mexican items. Produce is very good and at a reasonable price. They have included hot meals, like tamales, chiles rellenos, mole and several pther items.

Hi I just want to make you aware of an incident that happened to me that made me feel very in comfortable and I feel I should let you all know...When I was paying for my things I asked for a bag in English the cashier asked me if I speak Spanishwhy don’t I speak to her in Spanish she asked meIf I was embarrassed to talk in Spanish and...Where my parents were from and raisedShe was prying in my personal life asking me personal questionsShe with Anamocity also said that “hated the fact Mexicans come to in to the store speaking English and not Spanish I just came in to buy my things not to get offended by an employee I didn’t even know her! I shop here and so does my family and the fact that she made me feel upset leaving the store I don’t know if my family and I will shopHere ever againas an employee she crossed the line and was very disrespectful with me. I hope management does something about this and educate their employeesSent from my iPhone

Great ptoduce at great prices. The cooked food & the tortillas are delicious, the frijoles puercos and costillitas are my fave! All the prepared food is delicious even the rice...not very many places can make good arroz. The staff is friendly & helpful. There are some items that are over priced but that's because they are in a convenient location. Great customer service!! (Don't listen to that guy, they are not racist...how would he know they're talking trash if he doesn't speak the language? Sounds to me like he's the racist one)

my friend and i were waiting in line for 10 minutes then when we got to the front of the line, the cashier directed us to another line that we had to wait in. she helped another customer that was behind us. is this normal customer service here? we were in a hurry to go to a meeting. i also noticed some things were 3x the cost and other things were normally priced. i will try to avoid this place as much as possible but it's walking distance and i don't have a car right now.

Very poor customer service cashier's are very rude to kid's who pay with change they saved up and can't ever get a manager or any one for that matter to answer their phone. They say they don't except change if it ain't rolled that they can't count 2.00 in penny's lol. They must of not finished school and reply on a register to tell them what to do👎 besides all that the they are over priced!

Are ya'll talking about the same super market??? Anyways 2 starts because the tortillas de harina are bomb other than that cashiers are not friendly ,store needs an upgrade more welcoming looking. The fridges/freezers are empty, also everything is expensive .I could keep going ......

Waited almost 20 minutes outside of the store before they had someone come out and unlock one of the accessible entrances to their store! I tried calling the store to get some help, but no one answered the phone!

This place really transformed . Remodeling was very much needed. Now it looks bright clean and welcoming. The food from the hot kitchen is delicious! Tastes like mamas cooking. The fresh made in house tortillas are bomb. Gotta get em before they're gone. Produce prices are the best in the neighborhood. Brownie points on the Thrifty icecream & the tres leches cake is to die for. Love hate relationship with their fresh baked bolillo bread and sweet bread. Morning time is the best time to get em. My mouth is watering just thinking about the fluffy warm goodness but as for my lovely layer of fat they added to my belly for being so darn addicting.. not so bueno. Anywho check this place out! Lots of tasty deals.

They sell expired and expensive products like milk and ice cream 😝. There sweet bread has fruit flys. The fruits is old and rotten and expensive. Employees are lazy and rude.

Yes the vegetables are great everything is great except customer service from the cashier....I’m not sure what her name is but every time I come here it’s the same problem ....Today although when I had put the wrong pin for my food stamps she gave me an attitude and sighed while staring at the guy bagging my groceries...I understand her frustration because I used to work as a cashier but if she doesn’t have the patience to deal with her customers in a respectful manner she shouldn’t be working as a cashier....She was rude and in my experience does not have good customer service....I will no longer be coming here anymore....
