Update::May 16, 2023:: went back to see if they improved but it looks worse now because of dead flies in the food sections.
:Original Post: This Nogalitos store formally known as La Fiesta... The bakery and cocina area is disgusting. They need to have a sanitation and food protocol safety classes. We saw the lady who handles and serves the food sweep the kitchen floor and picked up the dust pan with her gloved hands and pat the dust into the trash. This being done around opened food.

Stopped by to buy some groceries when I checked for the expire date on Mission tortillas priced at $4 and change and they were infact expired. Then i proceeded to check everything else in my cart and 9 out of the 13 items were expired past the date some since Sept of 24. Milk dated Dec 5 was still on shelves for sale. So I left everything at the store and went to HEB. So please check dates when shopping at this store cause things don't get removed from the shelves. I dont recommend going to this store prices are very high and very overpriced and product quality and freshness is bad. If I could, I'd...
