This is a hole in the wall spot in the back left side of the supermarket when you walk in. Most of their food is on display and you see them make it. I've had the asada, chicken and pork for tacos and burritos. Authentic and portions are generous. Only down side is only seating is outside with a few tables. I always get it to go so no problem for me. Prices used to be good prior to pandemic but what place hasn't raised their prices. Highly recommend to give this place a try and you can pick up all your your mexican spices/goods you can't find at an Albertsons.

My friend often speaks highly of this place so I was excited to finally be able to give it a try with her as we were craving some authentic Mexican food. Located in a very small strip mall I've passed by this spot a few times and never noticed it. Keep your eyes peeled for it because I do wish I would have seen and tried this spot sooner. While it's a small shopping center we were able to find parking easily and came inside about 30 minutes before closing. This spot is a traditional Hispanic market with a hot bar and butcher counter in the back. Here they have a pretty good sized hot bar where you can order tacos, burritos, meat plates, and Agua frescas. I was impressed with the size of the market as well as it was pretty big, clean, and had an impressive selection! It's much bigger inside then it appears to be on the outside. I definitely need to come back here to do some proper grocery shopping. At the hot bar I ordered two pastor tacos and one Asada. Unfortunately the gentlemen misunderstood me and switched the order but I was too shy to speak up, it was fine but I need to work on my ordering skills lol. Asked for a side of rice and beans hoping to make the tacos like w combo plate. Not sure if I wasn't clear or they don't do combination plates but instead he gave me a small container of rice and beans which were individually priced. A little too much food for me based what I had intended to get but he was friendly enough so I just took it as he packaged it. Three tacos and the two sides ran me about $15 so not bad. Also in the back I was super excited to see large fried pork chicharrones, so I snagged one and their homemade guacamole from the market. Once you finish ordering and getting your food at the hot bar you take it up to the register to pay. It was all easy enough and everyone who works here is super friendly. This spot definitely deserves your business and it's a great local find. The only reason for the docked star is that some of the food was hit and miss. Everything tasted good in general but some items I wouldn't get again. My favorites here were the chicharrones! Super fatty and fried deliciousness. Their homemade guacamole slaps, it was mild but paired with the pork it was the best bite of the night. Also I'm a sucker for refried beans and they have good beans here. Would definitely be back for this again. The items I wasn't as big on were the tacos generally speaking. I actually think the issue was that I came 30 minutes before closing and the taco meat just didn't taste that fresh. I was hoping for juicy meat and bold flavors but the meat was a little bland and forgettable. Again, I really think the timing of when I came made a difference as my friend loves their pastor. I need to come back for lunch and try it in a burrito to make my determination. Also the rice was a pass from me, not memorable. I make better Mexican rice but it's okay, you can't win them all. This Mercado is a gem and I appreciate the local vibes. Really stellar spot for your specific grocery needs and I'll be dreaming of that fried pork until I can get back here to get some more. Great spot and thanks for the the recommendation Erica P.

Fantastic experience! Bring your kids, grab some groceries and order from the food counter to the left as you walk in. Enjoy a nice meal at the tables outside. If you feel lost don't sweat it! Just ask for help! Everyone wants to help you as much as you need help, you just need to ask. This may be a new cultural experience for some, relax. Everyone who works here has your same human DNA.

I've been in the place, but couldn't find a place to order anything or a menu. It's a grocery store filled with Mexican items. There is no ambience. The employees will get you like you're lost I was they don't offer to help so we left.

Tacos!!! Will stop by any time I'm in the area. Worth the usual 5-10 minute wait in line.

This is kind of a hidden gem for food unless you know about it. You'd never know they have a full to go Mexican kitchen in this grocery store. I'd go here more often if it was in my area. Portions are big, food is good, they are fast. But do expect a small line during lunch. You can always order ahead.
