H-e-b - N. McAllen

HEB is hands down the best customer service in a grocery store I've ever shopped at! I could not find a unique food item and the customer service representative consulted another employee and came back with the product. With a smile!

A few more items in the international section! His is always great for new recipes, etc to try! Check out the luscious chocolates from Germany! They have chocolate with extra milk for children. And the Middle Eastern goodies! Sauces, etc. Yum!

You'd swear they were whipping up the medications from scratch in there the way it took so long. every time I pick up a prescription from here I download a new audio book to listen to in anticipation of this wait.

I believe this is the best H-E-B in the McAllen Edinburg area. I consistently fine competitive prices and great selection on food, pharmacy, grooming and hygiene supplies, home cleaning and kitchen items, greeting cards, floral, bakery and deli items. Well they do a lot of business, they have plenty of checkout counters including express checkout lanes for those with just a few items. I have found the employees to be pleasant and well-trained. The deli has a large variety including many hard to find specialty cheeses such as smoked gruyere and smoked cheddar. Next to the deli area there is a good selection of gluten free flours and products. Today I was looking for a Mother's Day bouquet and found a huge selection of very fresh roses and mixed bouquets. As I was in the checkout line one of the employees came up and handed me a carrier so it would not tip over in the car, and also a $10 off coupon! How many places can you find that kind of service? This H-E-B has a large variety of international foods, not just Mexican but also other items such as Asian, and European. You can choose between so many varieties; eg., local Falfurrias butter to imported Kerry Gold gold Irish butter, Texas made Blue Bell ice cream or an imported Italian gelato. They have a large selection of coffees, teas, both packaged or in bulk for you to grind there. The vitamin and health supplement section can be a bit confusing to navigate, however they carry items we can't find anywhere else such as chromium picolinate to help balance your sugar levels. They have made your name brands as well as their own H-E-B generic which I find to usually be is good as any name brand. H-E-B is known for their meats and seafood, and this particular location seems to always have what I'm looking for. They must have a great management, because they're always fully stocked on seasonal items like for holiday cooking when you're looking for that piecrust or sage seasoning for your turkey dressing. The produce section as organic as well as regular fruits and vegetables. They also have specialty items like yucca root, mamey, baby bok choy, and dragon fruit. I do wish H-E-B had more from which to choose for vegans. One of my daughters is vegetarian, and would like to be vegan, but in this very carnivorous area we have not been able to find enough vegetable based protein options (even at Sprouts). As a chain, H-E-B does really well, but not every store is as nice. You can also fill your gas tank at probably one of the lowest price is around. This is one of the nicest grocery stores I have shopped in.

Good location. 7 min from my hotel. They have many variations and sizes for this chain. This isn't a HEB Plus but it's not the massive one either. They don't carry their HEB Reserve brand lunch meat here which is lame. Out of all the chain grocery stores that offer their own line of food I appreciate HEB the best. Wish they were in the NE. Often get the HEB brand of food and products.
