Talpa Supermarkets - Lilburn — Local services in Lilburn

I went in here tonight to buy meat. There were quite a bit of people waiting so I got in what appeared to be the 'line'. Waited for quite some time then walked up to the counter at what I thought was going to be my turn. The woman behind the counter literally asked the couple behind me if they wanted to go first when I started to tell her what I was there to purchase. Didn't even speak to me. I only speak English but she didn't give me the chance to say a word to know that. It's like the lady went around me to the Spanish speaking couple as if I weren't standing there or hadn't been waiting like everyone else. The store appeared very clean & organized, but I will never spend a single dollar in a store where the staff made me feel as if they didn't want me shopping there. I left & went to Publix. I've been wanting to check this place out for months. I won't make that mistake again. Customer service is equally as important as quality & price!

Update 9/11/24- Shopped here a couple of times thinking it would be different. The meat is great. The service at this location isn’t. I had a very similar experience as before. Waited at the meat counter, pulled a number. Everyone around me was helped. The lady spoke to me then went to the guy in line behind me & told me to hold on. There were 2 people behind the meat counter. Both of them helped people who walked up after me 3 times. At this point, I walked out. I will be shopping at Nam dae mun, Publix or Kroger. Anywhere but here. I can’t say why the staff...

My family and I are from California where Mexican food is prepared normally and tastes good and where there are competent people to cook food. Here in Georgia, food is terrible, even the food the south is known for (i.e.soul food). Anyways, we found this supermercado a few months ago when we were out and about and were curious to how it stacks up to Cali supermercados. We were pleasantly surprised how good the food was, especially the meats like carne asada, carnitas, chicken etc. Perfect seasoning and the sides like rice and beans were very authentic tasting. Tortillas are fresh and cooked on the spot inside both flour and corn and it reminds me of back home. The horchatas and aqua frescas are amazing as well, very authentic tasting and the guacamole might ne the best I ever had. Only negative I can say is that the taqueria where you order carnitas, beans, rice etc is a mess and very disorganized. The workers primarily speak Spanish, which is fine, but cater more to the Hispanics who come there than anybody else. I've waited way too long in line a few times for beans and rice when someone after me ordered 3 times what I ordered to include the same items I ordered and received their items before I did. If it was a little more organized where people weren't cutting in and out of line and waiting 20 minutes for something that should take 5, this would be a much better experience. Still really really good place to go for quality and authentic...

One of my and my family's favorite place to go eat. The wait is never too long and the food is always delicious. You get a great amount of food for the price and the ingredients are always super fresh. I've had a few of their dishes bit I almost always stick with the Mojarra frita (fried fish platter) it comes with rice, beans and a side salad. All of the different salsas and sides really make this place great. They have tons of limes, grilled jalapenos and onions up for grabs. The selection of bottle sodas as well as the palapa stand with fresh fruit juices is a must try. My favorite is the spinach and pineapple flavor. Their tacos are equally delicious, the asada is good but I like the al pastor one the most. The meat is juicy and it pair perfectly with their salsas. Their milanese torta is well sized and very crunchy. overall I dont have any complaints about this place as a restaurant. They also have fresh produce that I grab from time to time and a bakery as well. Check them out if you have time. They also smoke/grill whole chickens from...
