Cid's Food Market — Local services in Taos

Like uncooked jasmine rice (passed off as cooked Saffron Almond Rice) @ $6.99/lb)? Cid's is the place to go. Like cakes with so much sugar in the frosting that you can't taste the cake or the filling? Cid's is the place to go. Like pies that have been hideously amateur for years? Longing for Chocolate Maven pies like they used to carry? Cid's is the place to go. Like to pay $4-$5+ each for pastries instead of $3 for excellent Chocolate Maven goods, which Cid's just raised the price of by 33%? Cid's is the place to go.

Lee wants to give his employees the cold shoulder and dispose of them like their trash just speaks to his character. Shame on Lee, shame on the management, and most of all SHAME ON CID’S FOOD...

During checkout, Jayme unfortunately did not acknowledge me at any point in the interaction. Instead of greeting me or engaging in basic courtesy, she continued a personal conversation with a nearby colleague throughout the entire transaction. This left me feeling dismissed and unwelcome as a customer. Something to expect from other grocery stores in town.

I value good customer service and usually have positive experiences at CID’s, which is why this stood out. I wanted to bring it to your attention, not to complain, but in the hope that it might be addressed to improve the overall...
