Vine Ripe Market - La Mesa, California

Lisa

I drove gave someone a ride to the market they lived near there, that was the only place they shopped. We like the food from there but she used an EBT card there, next thing you know her food and money were gone from the card somehow it was used in LA . Just to be safe if you shop there use cash. The market offered a variety of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean foods and some prepared foods fresh along with produce. It’s like a big - little family operation.

I really enjoy going to this store. My first love is their pizza which is at an amazing $1.99 a slice. I have to say it's my favorite place for pizza especially for slices. Their XL pizza in any style is $14.99, a second is only $4.99 the same size for their pizza deal. So you get TWO XL pizza's for $20.00! I love their BBQ chicken as well as my super finicky family. Many bakery items to choose from.
Lots of fresh squeezed juices, in house hummus varieties and great prepared salads. Walk past the cold case and hot foods are available.
Fresh meat, sea food and poultry counter also, don't forget to walk through the produce section. Order a slice and have a walk through the store, you'll become a new customer as I did.

I recently visited this store (used to shop only before), but now I have to say, I had an amazing experience with this updated pizza shop. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, particularly by Martin, who went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was nothing short of exceptional.
The store serves halal meat, which was important to me, and the pizza I got was absolutely delicious. Every slice was bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. The menu offered a wide range of halal options, and I appreciated the diversity and variety of the dishes.
Overall, I had an outstanding experience at this store, thanks in no small part to Martin and the rest of the staff. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for delicious halal options and exceptional service.

This store is a great resource for cooking and eating Middle Eastern cuisine.

The staff is always SUPER helpful and answers any and all questions you may have. All the fresh meat - lamb, beef, and chicken - are identified as "halal." I don't know the ins and outs of the meaning behind this Identifier, but I know their fresh meat is always delicious!

They have great sales, too, like NY steaks for $3.99/lb or brown (or yellow onions) for 50 cents/lb. What?! The deli section offers fresh-made subs, including tri-tip - one for $7.99 and the second for $3.99. I had the falafel, hubby had an Italian, and Mom had a meatball one. We all agree they were delicious!

The range of spices available is phenomenal - it takes up a whole wall! The produce area is pretty cool too (see pics).

We've now included this store in our regular shopping trips.

Excellent fresh organic produce and regular produce as well, shop early on Saturday morning when produce is delivered.
Mediterranean food and wares along with a wonderful deli for grab and go items. Their onsite bakery is amazing offering cakes, cookies, pizza bread, and other breads and rolls.
There is a restaurant attached to this store, but I haven't tried anything there. However, the food looks delicious.
Outside there are bins of produce to select from and outdoor bbq selling grilled, marinated meats.
Lots of parking, shopping carts are showing signs of aging.

I am updating my review from a few years ago. We shop here for out halal meat and fresh veggies. Today, I went in for their Friday special. I asked for 4 T bone steaks. I got home, and one was a perfect T bone. 2 are missing the smaller side, and one is about 2 inches thick on the top and half an inch on the bottom. I live about 10 miles from this place, so there's no way to go back without wasting gas and time. I'm truly disappointed since we are taking this over to friends, and now I have to shop elsewhere for better-looking meat. I guess nest time I will make them show me the cut pieces before paying for them. Unacceptable.

Love shopping at this store. The meat is extremely fresh with a great deal all the time. If you're looking for a hot or cold and fast lunch tray the options are delicious. The made to order sandwiches are some of the best I've tasted. You looking for fresh lamb or Turkish delight then get down here. Didn't get a picture of the Turkish delight but believe me it scrumptious 🤗

This is one of those must visit markets if you have any liking for food of any type. In other words If you eat, you must visit this place.
Not a huge place but stuffed with an in house bakery, Deli and butcher shop. Produce and all kinds of store made goodies. On weekends they grill tri-tip and chicken outside. Next door is a middle eastern restaurant. You could browse in this market for hours!
Reasonable prices plus weekly specials. Just a seriously exceptional place to shop.
