Jimmy’s Produce & Filipino Store

I love jimmys produce owner Darla is very helpful in showing me about how to clean filipino veggies, plus there balut is perfect tasting, VERRYY DELICIOUS! I also love All there filipino beauty products!!! Thank you Darla for excellent customer service!!!

BUYERS BEWARE!!! Always ask for receipt before you leave the store. I was charged more than $ 3 for a sardines?! You gotta be kidding me?!! $ 3 for a small sardines? So I went back to the store and ask how much for sardines and found out its only 89 cents! Woww! Ofcourse I confronted the lady about it and even though she gave me the refund for over charging me, she still doesn’t wanna admit what she did. And then at the end before I left the store, she was like ohhh I didn’t charge the sardines. Voicing it out loud. (she did that so those people in line at check out can hear it, and act like nothing is wrong, covering her butt about it) Yea b*tch, you didn’t charge the sardines for the price of 89 cents, because you charged me for more than 3 dollars for it!!! I’m so pissed! –end of rant

I couldn’t find really basic things like Champorado. On the up side though, there was fresh crab. I recommend Seafood City though.

I wouldn’t consider buying the meat or produce here. I found a frozen cockroach inside the bag of the red longanisa. Completely disgusted, so I had to throw the whole bag away. The cashier didn’t know how to count my money after breaking my hundred bill.

After living in Chinatown for over 5 years, I appreciate that I don’t have to struggle to find parking here. Although it’s street parking, i would always find parking here much faster than in Chinatown.
JP is a small mom and pop market where you’ll actually see their workers sitting on stools trimming and packaging the vegetables. The veggies and seafood always look so fresh. Be aware, the fish, shrimp, and live crabs are not packaged. You’ll have to pack them yourself. But the best part is the prices are so much cheaper here than the major grocery stores.
They sell everything a Filipino family (or anyone craving or wanting a part of the culture) could ever want. Frozen longanisa (sausage), tocino (marinated pork), fish, lumpia, and more (even goat). They have an aisle for seasonings and condiments, then another aisle for Filipino snacks (my favorite is the cheese balls). Philippines calling cards, facial creams, soap, lotion, and even pomade. Fresh chicharones, filipino baked desserts…, Then there’s the famous Filipino soda, Orange Royal. And the best for me is the ICE CREAM– Macapuno (coconut). Yummeh!
The sales clerks are a delight. Don’t expect to be treated like customers, be expected to be treated like family that sees you everyday. A handwritten sign hangs near their register, «God is nice, you’re nice, be nice» ^_​^
I’m definitely a fan!
Tip: They take debit, credit, & EBT.
