"Fourteen (14) of our family members got sick after consuming two pork shoulders during Christmas Day 2023. My mother purchased these shoulders cooked at your store. Two family members ended up in the hospital the day after. We will soon file a claim with the department of health."

"I decided to try again after my prior silent disappointment. First the pork pinchos were raw and with big chunks of fat. Pork must be cooked through and Pinchos meat must be lean. After my first bite I had nausea and throw away the food. Thanks for the unpleasant $34 meal."

"I know your Spanish grocery market is located near my Saint Cloud FL home but I really need to find another market even if I have to drive more miles. Today is my 3rd experience buying rotten meat which is very dangerous. Oh yeah they never answer their phone or it always have a busy tone. Smart move so they don't have to get customers calls with complaints. Also be careful when you order hot food because they change their prices without the customers knowing then you find out at the register. The county inspectors should do a surprise visit at your store and shut it down."

"Stood in line for hot food for a long time and people were complaining that the two servers behind the counter weren’t taking orders. The one designated to take orders wasn’t and when she started taking orders she was going super slow. Line had 16 people in it when I left without ordering. Another time I bought a canister of salt here and it was so wet the salt was in clumps and took a week to dry out. Also when I Google Asian food Thrifty shows up for some reason but there’s really zero soy sauce, masala, or patis, etc. Three stars because I’ve had lots of friends tell me Thrifty is good. And their prices are good."

"Hands down best tripleta I’ve ever had. Just so delicious and their plantains are always super sweet. Door dash delivers very quickly so order a tripleta you won’t regret it."
