So my job makes me travel across the USA. And I always stumble into a town or nearby that has things that you want to come over again and again. I get hungry a lot because my job has me physically walking, hiking, climbing in all terrain. Anyways, there might be more in this grocery store but the TAMALES here are so delicious! The abuelas are cooking all in front of you. Luckily, the tamales are already hot and ready.
Super cute store we always stop by I like it's clean we get good deals we love the delis menudo and deli lol
Decided to stop by and check out their deli for lunch. We created our own sandwich, they were both delicious! The ladies at the deli were nice, and our sandwiches were ready fast. The grocery store itself is okay, everything seemed a bit overpriced compared to other grocery stores. There is plenty of parking and a few tables outside to eat! Definitely recommend this place for yummy sandwiches!
Great little market with fantastic produce! Best peaches I've ever had in my life. Great marinated meats, too!
Love their breakfast burritos! And the Momma's chocolate chip cookies are awesome too. Always polite staff. Clean restroom. We stop at Windmill Mkt every time to stock up on treats when heading to Hollister Hills to ride dirt bikes.
We used to go here to grab a snack when the festivals were in town. They always had such great produce. They have a wonderful deli that we always enjoyed. The Mac and cheese was always one of my favorites. I was glad this store was in town because of their deli.
Today we went into the Windmill for breakfast burritos and caffeinated beverages to help titillate our morning. Upon entering the automatic doors we were entranced by the gloriously well lit isles and the scent of freshly made breakfast burritos wafting about the store.
I love this place. It's the perfect spot for lunch and snacks. The town is very expensive. They have some good restaurants, but they are all pricy. To save a buck, come here and get lunch, drinks, and snacks. We came here twice in our week's stay across the street. The first time I had the chorizo sandwich and the next time I had the tamale (a bit tooo dry for my liking) and the ravioli soup (reminded me of chef boyardee with more broth and veggies thrown in). I really liked the soup and would order it again along with the sandwich. I also picked up a watermelon $7.00 for a whole watermelon was so much cheaper then buying berries or oranges. I asked the produce guy where the knives were to cut up my watermelon as I didn't bring one on this trip. Who would bring a giant knife on a trip?! He was a gem. He offered to cut it for me. He even took off the rind, cut out the seeds. After a week, 99% of the watermelon has been eater. He saved me lots to money and gave me lots of tasty snacks. They have a huge wine collection, including local vineyards . If you need it, they have it. They even have a slushy machine in the deli. If you want a fresh salad, make it. yourself and pay by the pound. We also got a chicken salad sandwich, made as you wish at the deli. This place is a must stop. You won't regret it. In addition they are one of the few places or only places in the area with there own private parking lot.
