Marcus Fernandez Review of Cacciatore Bros. Inc.
Cacciatore Bros is a great local grocery store wit...
Cacciatore Bros is a great local grocery store with a fantastic selection of produce, an excellent butcher, an awesome deli, and great prices.
For me, however, what I love most is that I can find things here that I can never find at the supermarket and they're usually cheaper!
Want fresh herbs for your kitchen instead of the dried stuff? They've got it, and it won't cost an arm and a leg. Heck, they might even have the potted plant so you can grow your own! Plantains? Green or ripe, they've got them! REAL cuban bread? They sell La Segunda cuban bread from one of the original cuban bakeries. How about some less popular spices like star anise or cardamom? I can never find it at the supermarket, but they have it for a bargain price here.
Add to all of that their really great prices and surprisingly extensive selection of products for the size of the store and it almost makes me wonder why I go anywhere else! Cacciatore is a gem, and, having lived less that 10 minutes away my entire life, I'm sad I never gave them a chance before recently. If you love to cook, get your groceries here!
If I had to nitpick:
They have a surprisingly sparse seafood selection. However, it's possible it seems sparse because their selection of everything else seems so good.
Their non-refrigerated produce (onions, tomatoes, etc) can sometimes seem less than perfect, so you might have to pick through to get the best stuff on occasion.
