Let me expand on the HEB supermarket. It has a real international style with aisles of food from various countries. You can walk down the aisle for Asian food and find coconut milk, Mexican food and find great chilies, Kosher aisle and find real kosher ingredients, not to mention the fresh produce and fish areas.
