El Mezquite

In many supermarkets they have a deli section where a variety of food is served; for example, in the Albertson's by my house they selection of various pre-made side dishes, sushi, hot foods, and cold cuts and cheese. El Mezquite is a Mexican Supermarket with such a deli section. I've been to Mezquite on several occasions and not had a bad meal, but going there is almost like stepping into Mexico: immediately to the right is a cash checking station; in the middle of the day they have a security guard; the majority of the labels and signs are in Spanish; and some of the food is packaged that exposes the food. An example of this is when I picked up a chocolate, it was wrapped in wax paper packaging, but you could clearly see that the chocolate was exposed and the wax paper was too small. The cleanliness of Mezquite is suspect, but I have not gotten sick from eating there. I feel like a foreigner in this store, but it's a store that the intended audience is a different demographic. El Mezquite is great if you want Mexican food, but the other elements it lacks quite a bit. I would give El Mequite two out of five stars, not because of the food, but everything else is lacking.
