"Owner took 3 months ro respond to my review and only had this to say. Absolutely disrespectful and unprofessional. You really need to step your game up, you're a disgrace to this community."

"The man we waited with was very nice. They had lots of music on records/CD's and they buy your old music. It's a record label as well. So by and see what they have."

"I've been here about 5 times total. All with a month or so in-between, and once a year and a half ago. Every time I come in here, it feels like a drinking spot for the owner. Every time I try to have a conversation, im blown off. I called last month with a new Ortofon needle I needed help setting up and installing. They told me to bring it in and they would help me out with install and adjustment. The owner did not help me install it, told me that my $100 needle was a cheep upgrade, and told me I didn't need any adjustment tools, or a force guage meter. His reasoning was he's been doing turntables for 30 years. So he tells me he's been working on these for 30 years, and tells me, a beginner, to take apart my turntable, and adjust it without any gear or measuent tools. As if I've been doing this for 30 years?! My friend called for records before Christmas, asking for PJ Morton, ans she was hung up on. Her call was answered, she was greeted, she asked for what she was looking for, and you hung up. All of your customers, regardless if you know them or not, and regardless if im there to have a beer like your friends, or shop for records like a normal customer, make me feel WELCOME!"

"Mike and Andrew Noriega are running one of the best record stores in California. Truth is that Noriega Records may be one of the better stores for funk/soul/hip-hop in the nation. Mike definitely knows his soul and funk records. He spun many exceptionally rare soul tracks while I was in the store. I remember him playing some early George Clinton 45s. I dug through the majority of his store out of morbid curiosity. To say the least, Noriega records has a very impressive inventory. Mike and Andrew manage to stock sought after vinyl in all genres. Mike and Andrew definitely know how to provide anyone who drops by with highly desirable vinyl. Odds are that Mike has a record to fit most any customer's interest. Anyone looking for a properly owned and operated record store should seek out Noriega Records. The inventory alone is worth the trip."
