Jimbo's - Escondido

Jimbo’s is hands down one of my favorite grocery stores! It truly stands out from others with its exceptional quality and unique offerings. The selection is amazing, and I can always count on finding fresh, high-quality products every time I shop. Their produce is consistently fresh, and the variety they offer is impressive. And when it comes to meats, I won’t buy filet mignon anywhere else—Jimbo’s is the best for that. If you’re looking for a grocery store that takes quality and freshness seriously, Jimbo’s is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I have been shopping Jimbo's since 1986 when I first moved to San Diego, and have always loved the stores. I shop 4S Ranch and Escondido now, when I move I will be missing my almost 40 years shopping here don't even know how I can replace this store. Love the staff and foods. I remember when they did the grand opening for 4s ranch, I was at the door on opening day and was the first one in the store. lol!

My brother and I go here almost every day to get food or do our shopping. Very nice people, high-quality produce, and yummy food.

I love shopping at Jimbos. Their pastries are good. We love their Brussels sprout salad and I always buy 3 extra large spicy thai noodles. They are vegan for those who are vegan. They're very tasty. Their fruit is always fresh and juicy.

I went in today for some muffins the lemon-blueberry was good but the bran blueberry was not cooked through it was very mushy and chewy I had to throw it away. My daughter ordered their mango smoothie and it was delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful store, amazing selection with quality foods. I have found flavors of kumbucha i haven't seen anywhere. When i need something very specific i can find it there

Great place to get health food items.

It has taken me a few years to write this review. The reason I say this is because I have been holding out hope that Jimbo's and their produce policies would change. Over the years I shopped at the Del Mar, 4S Ranch and Escondido stores and I see a repeating pattern of low quality produce. To charge customers a premium to get 100% organic and non-GMO is one thing but that is no excuse to sell sub-par quality at those extreme prices. So, this morning I went to Jimbo's to do our weekly shopping trip and of course, I see exactly the same old (bad) cucumbers sitting in the cooler that I saw a week ago (see picture). This is just the beginning. Last week, I went to grab green beans out of the cooler and ended up grabbing a handful of slimy beans. You see, they don't rotate their stock as they should. The fresher stuff was on top of the old and slimy stuff at the bottom. They obviously don't employ basic food rotation practice at their stores: first in, first out. It goes on. I shouldn't have to spend 10 minutes examining all of the berries in a container because you've been burned so many times. This is unacceptable. The practice extends to the deli area as well. I can't tell you how many times I've seen mold on the falafels. I bought some from the 4S Ranch store, brought them home and then was super disappointed. From that point on, whenever I wanted falafels, I would check them first. Every time I did, they were moldy. I've witnessed these practices and sub-par produce at all three of the stores I've mentioned. Since it is a pattern, I will extrapolate that this is due to top-down management decisions in order to maximize profits from already inflated prices. I think Mr. Jimbo should be embarrassed if he wasn't embarrassed enough by the rat infestation in his Del Mar store a few month back. If you don't believe me, contact the San Diego County Department of Environmental Health. If only Whole Foods was closer to my home, I would be shopping there exclusively.
