I love the music! Often I catch myself dancing down the aisles. Its always clean, meats are very affordable, and I can find anything I need to prepare my favorite traditional Puerto Rican foods. Its a very Durham sort of place, a neighborhood feel. Clean, uncluttered aisles, very-well stocked shelves. Ive been shopping at Compare for about two years. If you are expecting Food Lion, Kroger, or WalMart, you will not find it to your liking.Ĭompare foods es una tienda donde en cuentras todo lo nesesario para tus despensa de comida y es mui económico They stock many unusual fresh fruits, vegetables and prepared products from Mexico and the Carribean. It is best described as an ethnic latino supermarket. Seria mejor si tuviese mas cositas venezolanas. I asked if they had a specific item while at the counter, it took them a while to figure it out then sent me to look for it, when i came empty handed they asked if i found it, i said no and they just brushed it off.īuen mercado latino. No one asks if you need help if they see you struggling in the aisles. Take the three extra minutes and go to the Super Target at South Square. She directly resumed slouching over the conveyor. To top it all off, the cashier was neither nice nor warm, and her only spoken word to me was my change (incorrectly stated, I might add). Shoddy appearance from the outside, beggars as you approach, and dingy inside.

Y por los precios de las carnes, pero no sé si es por el verano, que las carnes han subido un poco y es algo de lo que me gustaba comprar en el, por el precio que no era alto. Me encanta ir a Compare, pues hay muchas variedades de productos en frutas, vegetales y viandas. The sauce section is also great, and there are plenty of Caribbean and African food options in the aisle - five different kinds of fufu! Also check out the meat section for its variety of cuts and types, but know that this isnt the place to find your free-range/local/organic selection, but its great if you just want to eat good + cheap! The fresh produce section is amazing - both in diversity of items (whole, fresh banana leaves!) and quality. This international grocery store is a hidden gem in Durham, but it takes some navigating to find the best deals. Its just one of the stores where you weigh out the balance with quality with pricing. Yet for the most part this will not be my go-to store for shopping! Definitely a store to shop for goya, jalapenos, rices, duros, hot sauces, and much more Hispanic related items. I can see coming here for sale items, and some select things. Sure a 10# bag of chicken for $4.90 on sale is good, yet the chicken seem kinda small.

$1.79 for Kraft Mac n cheese or idahoan potatoes is crazy. Better pricing at food lion/Wal-Mart if you want non meat groceries. Good on a few select sale items, but not the greatest quality on some meats, very thin sliced pork, and beef for the pricing. this is my complaint for a lot of places you go nowadays. id freeze it for another week or so only to find a portion of it changing color once thawed.

thought it to be incredibly large but sucked it up to hormones they inject in animals. i once bought chicken legs, or what i thought was chicken. The only drawback which is somewhat consistent is meat and poultry. they offer a lot of latin flavored foods too but also african. They have a good layout and their produce certainly has produce you wouldnt find in other store.
