Great store, great location!!! Store has everything you need and is very reasonably priced. This store was a breath of fresh air compared to when my family and I traveled to St.Thomas. By far one of the best grocery store chains in the Caribbean!

Decently priced grocery store. Has everything that you need while on vacation. They’re open 24 hours and it’s easy to get to. They have parking. They sell wine, beer, and liquor. It’s cheaper to buy your beauty stuff here or pueblo compared to Walgreens. They sell ice, it’s outside so you have to ask for it. The cashiers can be crabby, id say 7 out of 10 of them are grouchy. I’ve gone at different times of the day and night depending on when our flight lands and when we have dinner with my family. My Spanish isn’t fabulous, but Language usually isn’t an issue for me. I have had some speak to me in English so if language is difficult for you, there’s probably some one there who can help. They sell some local products such as coffee and honey, be sure to pick some up to either use while you’re here or as gifts/souvenirs!!! Support local as much as possible, it encourages the economy and helps the small business people.

Great location. This store has everything you’ll need on vacation without the high price tag. This is not a tourist trap. All their Puerto Rican coffee and Don Q liquor are in glass cases at the front. All the employees we asked for ayuda spoke English. I recommend when you get to your hotel or Airbnb make a list of what you’ll need and come here. If you’re a local then you already know this place rocks. Takes credit cards tambien.

Great nearby market that’s open late. I came to get local coffee to bring back home. Everyone was very nice and helpful with all the questions that I had. Coffee was pretty cheap. I was advised to get the yaucono select. Supposidly it’s the best. It is in the light blue can, although it is pre ground coffee. It was hard to find whole beans. At the airport the same coffee were double the price.

I always love visiting local grocery stores while on vacation. You often see the coolest stuff and prices for little things to bring back home are so much more reasonable– and the stuff is more useful– than usual tourist shops. This location had a cool selection of beverages — especially alcoholic ones. The rum was way cheaper than in the U.S. We grabbed a cooler and ice and brought our cheese fruit and rum to the beach.

We rented a condo across the street from this 24 hour grocery store. It was really convenient for us. Prices are along the lines of ones you would pay in the states. The hot food items were good for breakfast or a quick snack. We bought beer, wine, alcohol and snacks to eat in between meals. There is a large assortment of American name brands that are familiar so shopping is easy. I would recommend this place to stock up on groceries and drinks to save money.

This is one of the worse places of business that I’ve been to any where and definitely one of the worse in San Juan. They basically don’t take debit cards as they always ring it up as credit and you can’t get cash back. In addition to that frustration, the cashiers have been rude and even a little snobby. Hello, you’re working at Supermax and giving customers attitude. One star is too generous.

Conveniently located in Isla verde and 24 hours! If you’re vacationing and staying in Isla Verse and want to save some money on buying drinks poolside or beach side then go the supermax and pick up everything you need for a fraction of the cost of buying one drinks. Going on a hike in El Yunque? Buy your snacks and water bottles here! This place has nice people, large selection of items and a parking lot. Oh do I also mention it was 24 hours?

This place is ok, kinda dingy and dirty, reminds me of a Mexican meat market stateside, anyway the people are nice, just wish they would mop and clean more. My tip, the deli counter service is pretty good the boars head was cheaper for some reason then in Texas! There is another supermarket nearby, so not the only game in Isla Verde.

A great local supermarket that is open 24 hours! It was so nice that this place was across the street from our condo. Heads up, the liquor and coffee are stored behind the registers in locked up shelving. The liquor I can understand, but the coffee?! We later learned that coffee is the #1 most shoplifted item in PR — go figure. If you stop in for the deli — get their cuban sandwich. It’s warm, delicious and filled with sumptuous meats and cheeses. YUM!

It is a good grocery store; a good amount of selection. The check-out lines are always very slow.
