Jons Marketplace

I live close and its quite convenient. I usually do few grocery from here. Its not that clean unlike other stores and is little crowed and compact. Some time it may take a while to check out as they have few lanes to check out. But it isnt that bad.

The prices are a bit higher for it being a Jons marketplace for some items like baby wipes, qtips, and toothpaste.
There’s not much organic options here.

Parking is Soo limited, staff are lazy, impolite, dirty place, products are nor fresh. Stay away

Last time I bought chicken for my dog and it got rotten in less than a week inside the fridge. That’s enough reason to not come back there ever again. It is cheap though but you get what you pay for.

I live next door to this place. When I’m low on cash (on that paycheck to paycheck tip) I usually shop for some of my groceries here (like WIC price-​regulated milk, etc) but when I have money I avoid this place at all costs. It’s worth noting that only some things are «cheap» here — milk, bread, bulk beans and rice, chicken, some produce and fresh herbs and a few other things that you’ll just have to find out for yourself. Sometimes when I buy chicken from here and prepare it I think to myself «is that bleach I taste or just cockroach pesticides?». The produce here is abysmal — the only things worth buying are lemons, limes, avocados, cilantro, some of the herbs and green onions — everything else sucks and is flavorless or super bruised. I once bought a dozen nectarines here and had to throw most of them out because they just tasted so off — the flavor they had is hard to describe, but it was not worth eating. I give it five stars because I’ve noticed that my neighborhood is undergoing very rapid gentrification and I’d hate to see yuppy Unilocalers put a grocery store that so many poor (mostly Latino, orale) people depend on. This place sucks and if you’re White you probably won’t like it. But then again — maybe you’re in the wrong hood and shoulda stayed on the Westside or Silverlake.

I live near this location so I consider it my go to «oh crap I need X to make Y» store.
It’s feels dirty.
They don’t know how to manage their ‘customers per line’ ratio at the register creating these gigantic broken «line trees» of stupid people who can’t create one line, but I still come here when necessary.
The produce is fresher than most smaller stores, it is cheaper than most grocery stores, and they do offer the basics when you’re out.
I would not buy meat here, I’ve seen some pretty sketchy stuff in the refrigerated section, but the cheeses, dairy, and produce are good to go.
I guess the end review would be such: if they disappeared, no one would notice, but it’s good that it’s there.
The staff is very friendly in my experience.

They don’t know how to use coupons. For some reason they seem to think that the coupon HAS to be used on whatever is on the picture and not what is on the description. Dumb, much? I have NEVER heard of this idea before and no matter who I called (the manufacturer, corporate) about it they stood their ground on their stupid reasoning. They (manager/​asst manager) are sooooo stubborn they just did not care. Will definitely think about it a few times before deciding to come here. It is also dirty and a sketchy neighborhood (don’t come at night!) Produce are cheap but for the quality I would not mind paying a few more cents for fresh produce at Super King Markets.

It’s like «vons» but with a «j» how clever, a little bit of somewhere strewn every where, make sure too check out the parking lot
A marketplace right out of the bible. Need «a» piece of gum. Parking lot 3 cents, a cough drop? 5 cents, toilet paper sold buy the foot !!

0 stars if I could. I live on 4^th street so this place is convenient I’ve overlooked a lot in that store but today was the last straw. I went to purchase some meats and got 1 pre packaged salmon fillet, chicken breast and ground turkey. It did take me a while to chose because I always look for freshness check dates etc. well I did see turkey packages that had best by date from 3 days ago, and 2 bags of bad bacon. Gross. When I got home I opened my salmon only to find a browning spot under the price sticker and the end of my salmon was brown and dry. I called them for a refund. I will never be returning to this establishment.

I come here for the produce! The produce is very cheap and the quality is A-​ok! Their meat selection isn’t too appealing though (not that i’ve tried any) and their selection of grocery items is limited. But if you’re patient enough to deal with their parking and location, it’s worth saving the extra buck on their produce!

This place kind of smells and is a bit dirty. The produce section is very cramped. I found many produce items for much cheaper than shopping at alternatives like Vons and Ralphs which was the only positive. Staff was nice, but I would only come here for cheap produce.

I’ve been driving by Jons grocery stores for years, thinking it was a dirty «99 cent» variety of Vons. Well the other day, my girlfriend were making dinner up the street at her apt and we realized we needed a couple of things. We talked about it, and decided to walk over to Jons instead of driving somewhere. The outside of the store is disgusting, dirty, smelly, etc. However, we were both pleasantly surprised with the inside. I was really impressed with the fresh produce and the meat dept. For sure gave me a different opinion of the store.
Rough neighborhood, probably wouldn’t want my girl walking there at night alone, but otherwise we’ll be using jons again.

I will admit I’m a food snob. I buy organic, I’m a health nut, and vegetarian. I needed soy milk for a recipe desperately one day and Jons is 4 blocks closer than Vons so I ventured in to see if they would have rice milk at the very least. I was pleasantly surprised with the name brand products I saw including Silk, 8^th Continent, and Almond Breeze. They don’t have the Silk creamer so I still have to go to Vons alas, but was very impressed with Jons and sad I had judged the book by its (grimy and smelly) cover for so long.

Scummy seafood/​meats… DON’T go here, unless you want some serious mudbutt.

food, prices are all just the way i thought but they really are not good with english here;; sorry… i had allot of problems communicating and had to ask for the manager’s help more than once, on different days

Cheap groceries, right across the street from my apartment.
I go here for anything I may need that’s packaged. They have a butcher, but sometimes the whole store smells like old fish — and that worries me.

Cheap fresh produce!!! I make to grocery store runs– ralphs up the street and then head right over to Jons to get all my produce. Sometimes they have weird fruits/​veggies ive never seen and if you ask one of the produce guys they’ll pull out a knife and let you try it too! Nice people workin there.

john mcgraham was doused with gasoline & set on fire 2 blocks away & shortly after, a man was shot in front of the dancing chicken, also 2 blocks away from jons.
neither of those incidents, nor the seedy salvadorean men muttering ‘ey chinita’ as i walk by can keep me from a nighttime stroll from my dude’s apt around the corner to pick up fresh ingredients for a kick-​ass salsa or specialty sauces & spices for an adventurous meal.
the offerings here lean more toward latin flavors than medit/​middle eastern like other jons locations, which is fine by me. the produce is cheap & usually pretty fresh. & the people who work there are pretty nice.
but the best thing about shopping here? while other supermarkets stick to the wave soft rock adult contemp oldies & classics, this jons boogies down like a salsa club — you can meat browse to merengue or find cheese to cha cha cha!
