Novato Market — Local services in Novato

Like it’s not a Michelin star or anything but for under $14 I got a cubano torta that comes with asada, fried chicken, ham, cheese and avocado (+ the torta usual veg) as recommended by the lovely cashier and a 1.5L bottle of aloe Vera drink.

The aisles are fairly narrow so I would say tthis place is not handicap friendly for shopping if that is a concern due to the width of the aisles.

They accept cash and credit with a minimum $5 charge for...

Have always liked this store, until today when I called asking a question. The person on the phone was rude and said I needed to come in to get the prices, and hung up on me before I could figure anything out. I've never had that happen to me, as a customer wanting to purchase a good portion of meat, I would have liked to know the prices. Now we will be going elsewhere and give our service to another...
