WHY Three reasons: Old-fashioned service with a smile. Famed meats from Alexander’s. And classic goodies from Lisa’s Bakery.

WHAT This compact market is worth a detour. Look for the Harris Ranch beef, dry-aged prime cuts, excellent marinated poultry and carne asada, and locally made empanadas and tamales. The wine selection is very good, too. And it delivers!

WHO Seniors who’ve been coming here for decades, and people who’ve ordered meat for a special occasion.
