A few weeks ago, I stopped by Rancho San Miguel Market in hopes of finding a healthy yet convenient lunch, and was not disappointed.
Last time I was here, it was either a Food Maxx or Food 4 Less, something like that. While the remodeled store still feels like a warehouse, and still has the same old flooring, it is much cleaner and more organized overall. As an added bonus, they now have cute purple shopping carts.
Prices are still very low, and the product selection can't be beat. They still carry all of the same great products that I love, such as Mexican candies, tortas, empanadas, salsas, conchas, aguas frescas, tres leches cakes, etc.
Recently, I grabbed a steak salad from the fresh salad and sandwich case in the produce department, located in the back right corner of the store, in front of the bakery.
When I picked out my salad, there was still some steam on the lid from the hot steak. I carried it back to a park about a mile away, and had a great lunch.
Even though this is a discount market, this was one of the best pre-packaged salads I've ever had in my life. I would definitely put it on par with the expensive salads that I've tried from places like Whole Foods.
Do you ever have a meal that's so good that it just makes your whole day better? Because that's how good this salad was!
I will definitely come back for another salad next time I'm in the area!
