Much smaller than a Maxi Pali, but it does the trick if you need a few groceries while staying in SJDS.
Very busy store, very small store. Limited variety. But, would miss it if it were gone. ;)
If you see something you like buy as much as you can because it probably won't be there when you come back.
We shop there 3 times a week because there is no choice here in SJDS.
The cheapest super in town. Located 1 km from downtown offers a good choice of products at the best price you can find in the area. Not enormous but big enough. Not crowded as hell. If you are planning a long stay the place to be. You have taxi to this place from downtown San Juan for 20 cĂłrdobas, 66 cents.
Crappy selection of processed foods. None the less it is the one place in San Juan Del Sur to go for certain items.
It is a great place to go for bulk items as an American chef in Nicaragua.
A local market with a very limited selection. This is the place to go if you're buying beans and rice but they don't offer much of a selection in other departments.
Pali is your typical country store, but their meet counter isn't great. I've received bad meat from them in the past.
Palis in SJdS has the BASICS. It is difficult to find anyone to help but when/if you do they are super nice.
Supermarket offering the basics. Meats are good and basic processed foods. Good dtink section with rum, beer and wine.
There is everything in that super market, almost everything and you can find very fast your items, but you spent 30 minutes to pa6 at the counter. Bad service to client.
This was our primary provisioning store during a week in La Virgin. Prices seemed good. the staff was pleasant.
Mediocre at best. Can't wait until they put a la colonial
Good grocery store with all the basics, only problem is they do get sold out of some of the fresh items such as herbs and fruits.
This is a Pali, like every other. A chain store owned by Walmart. They have a broad selection of the majority of your supermarket needs. Fresh veggies, meats, beer, wine, liquor, etc.
Not a good stock in different types of ingredients to make a good meal, good meats section, just the basic things, there are little family owned stores in town that carries a much wider selection of things.
