I just bought prickly pear lemonade powder and it was not even sealed! When I called to check if that’s how the packaging is the lady on the phone told me there aren’t anymore for her to check… I just left the store 15 mins ago and there were 3 packages of it. I highly doubt someone went in 15 mins and bought 3 packages! The lady on the phone was smirky when I called to ask. Check your packages if you go and make sure the stuff you buy is sealed.
Local here born and raised. I love this place normally. I still do. They have a corner on the market for good green chili after fall. Problem is it’s kinda expensive. I get it off season shoulda got more during fall etc but I didn’t have enough money during harvest so I’m stuck getting a bit gouged. I happy to pay it but below is a pic that is kinda a bummer before and after peeled and diced. I buy at least 6 of these a month. I wish there was a bulk option. If so please let me know.
WARNING: they tac on a $1 fee for using a card..... banks only charge them a transaction fee of 1.5% of the purchase amount....so if you go in and buy a container of chilli for 4.95 they are slapping 20% extra on top, that's way more then the bank 1.5% ....... do that to most customers, because most don't use cash, and they've ripped off thousands in the course of the year.... to top it off i bet they tax deduct that money and don't count it as income... which it is.....ripping off the community AND the government.
Incredible selection of chile products and an even more impressive team behind it. The staff are genuinely friendly, down-to-earth, and always ready to help, especially at the Balloon Fiesta. Their commitment to quality and exceptional customer service keeps me coming back time and time again!
Cool souvenirs, great salsas of all flavors, chile powders, roasted chilies. Various mixes and spices, pinon nuts. The list goes on and on. I really enjoyed visiting this place! Not a big places place, but full of awesome items!!
