Mabuhay Filipino Store

The lady in the front was very nice. Even though the store is not as big as other asian stores it can boast it's organization of variety of products. There is a line of chest freezers inside with labels both outside and inside. And everything is easy to find. They also have a Balikbayan Box service. Also this is the only asian store here in Monterey county where I was actually able to find lye water. Finally, I can try making kutsinta! Wish me luck! The only thing I was looking for that was not there was fresh produce and fresh fish. But although they don't have that, hey have frozen options of seafood and even octopus. I was able to find my all time favorite rellenong bangus in the frozen section. There an assortment of frozen fruits and vegetables too. We were able to buy some chichirya. The kids love Jack and Jill's Cheese Curls with one boy and one girl character in the packaging and Labzter crackers. They were all very crunchy. Meaning they sell fresh stuff. Ate at the front was nice enough to hand me a flyer for Balikbayan Box service that they provide to customers. I will definitely come back to this store. I was not able to take pictures inside because I was not able to ask if it's permitted. Maybe next time I will add more pictures.

It feels like you're just home. ❤

good customer service.

Nice store with some good items. I like to go check the place out usually when I'm in Salinas.

Love the fresh Lumpia
