La Placita Tropicana — Attraction in San Jose

Did anyone else know there's mini shopping mall here? I sure didn't. Its pretty cool actually. Now I understand why its always so busy here. There's also a nice mexican restaurant and at night the restaurant bring out their prettiest waitresses. *wink *wink. Also a seafood restaurant, and ice cream shop, insurance place, mountain mikes etc. On the low low you can purchase bus tickets to Tijuana or baja california, another identity, a hitman, haha jk about the hitman. There's plenty of parking. Lots of people walking around so drive slow. I mainly shop at the Tropicana Food market for their Carniceria that's always freshly cut and packaged right in front of you. Better than across the street(in my own opinion). There's also De La Rosa pharmacy, you can find western remedies here or medicine that actually works at the pharmacy. If you have prescription medicine from Mexico, this is perfect pharmacy to go to. This is really like a mini Latino Plaza. If your another ethnicity and you visit, you'll be like a mini celebrity, graciously attended. You can find a variety of shops, shoe stores, beauty salons, mens suits, jewelry shops, bank of america, metro pcs, ice cream shop,etc.. In summary, La Placita is like its own...

There sorta high tech,just to steal your money! They don't use quarters they use a card,but the Despenser for soap dryer sheets take cash which would have been fine if there laundry card that I put money on worked a second time with money on it I had to buy two ! Then I was out of cash but I could buy dryer sheets from them off there card 2 sheets for a dollar 12 dollars could have bought gain scent beads at Walmart! The attendant couldn't help me or tell me if there was anything open or ATM for me to get more money out! I wasn't impressed! That's greedy and they are already making money! In Ventura California the triple loaders take like $7 bucks there they take $9.50 in Ventura the guy is always polite helpful willing to reimburse you if you have problems there's a ATM machine and they sell full products at reasonable prices! They also have cloth laundry bags! New town no customer service or very bad attitude service...

No stars if possible. Litzy's salon ruined my family member's hair. The "stylist" couldn't do a balayage but told us otherwise and just bleached and tangled her hair. She had to go elsewhere to go fix it. The ladies were so unprofessional and tried to say that we just didnt want to pay. But honestly why would we pay for the mess she made. They tried to say that she was whining too much and was overly sensitive when the stylist tried to untangle all the hair she unnecessarily teased pre-bleach. She then offered to cut the knots out because she never even finished the cut before she started coloring the hair. Dont know how these people have licenses and keep a business running without professionalism or the ability to do their jobs. Never go there! Especially the stylist with the long dark hair.(didnt get her name as we had just expected to pop in and check on how everything was going as they were wrapping up and...
