I use to shop here all the time for groceries. Its very convenient. Friendly staff. But the past few years, prices are very high across the board.
Great spot for fresh hot deli food! Staff are always so nice! Chicharones are a must try!! 😋😋
The meat is good and there is almost always some kind of special. The fruits and veggies are so so. Not the best quality but its available when in a pinch. The tomatoes I do like though because even if they are extra ripe, I use them immediately for salsa or carne guisada. The hot food though is great. I love the carnitas and the chicharon. I also like their champurado.
Neat little carniceria market. Great meat dept. Ceviche, real crema, and pico de Gallo. Can buy Oaxaca cheese by the pound too.
Very clean and well stocked store. The cuts of meat are very fresh and the prices are reasonable.
Customer service can improve a lot but the products are goodPricy
Great deals on produce and the best tortillas in town.
Always good values on foods I like. Friendly, helpful staff.
Friendly service and good prices.
This is a no-frills a grocery store with great produce, including a wide selection of figs including plantains,bananas, and burros and they always have a wide selection of lemons and limes at great prices. They also have a prepared food section nestled next to the butcher where you can pick up tonights dinner. Chicharrones are also available which I have yet to try but theres always great interest. Theres not much in selection as far as pantry items go. The brands lean more towards those found in the southern part of the continent. I mostly come here for the produce and for the great salsa music that they have playing in the background. It adds a nice touch. The cashiers have barriers. Ask for the Corona...They wear gloves and everyones social distanced; markers are on the floor and everyone is required to wear masks. All the baskets and carts actually I dont think they have carts but all the baskets are sanitized. They also take Google pay. Its in a strip mall so theres plenty of parking!
Found everything we needed and more!
Nice clean, friendly costumer services and awesome products.
Great meat. Pretty decent and cheap produce
Better produce than Whole Foods. Legit Mexican food. Lots to learn but I love this place 😍
Dont buy produce or meat to cook Mexican food at a regular grocery store but it here. Cant beat the quality of the produce and meat and at a fraction of the cost. Also the fresh salsa and guacamole is delicious and cheap.
The place inside isnt really clean... its dirty it kinda looks old they have to renovate it
I love their Carne Asada
Thanksgiving day enchiladas..they have great deli..
Cheapest avocados, biggest variety of mangoes, same for tortillas in all thier manifestations, and if you crave carnitas, they have the best in town.
This is one of my favorite groceries.Really nice produce at really reasonable prices. Fresh tortillas, crazy selection meat counter with really affordable meat cuts... I get inspired to cook whenever I go! People at the deli counters are really friendly as well.Ive seen people heading to bbqs with pounds of marinated meat, and I hope to do that at some point, too.
Authentic Mexican
Great place. great prices
Worst places the fruit is not good
Love this Mexican market. Makes me feel like Im home again. Anything I may need to make a Mexican dish, Ill find here.
Very good
Love thier meat market
This specific store in costa mesa. Is the worse found some. Fruit with mold. It was gross went to get some meat and it had a really strong smell one of the packed meat was green in one side . I dont know how. The pass the the city inspection
Best ceviche!
I went looking for nutmeg- found it in a clear and organized hanging spice area cheaper than expected (3~4 in a pack for $1) Came back with several othewr items. Clean and friendly staff. Bilingual. Looking forward to trying the fresh pico de gallo. The pan dulce section was not huge but still had a few varieties even at the very end of the day. Thank you. Will be back.
Love there Marinated meats. Go there all the time when we are making Mexican food.
I found many cooking tools and specialty ingredients to cook authentic Mexican dishes. Im only giving 3 🌟 s because items are over priced. I got sweet bread here at 2 for$1.00 to try and one bolillo. Mest say they were very fresh and good. Will definately consider returning.
It okay to get some Mexican groceries there. Its not as big or modern as some other grocery stores nearby.
This lady was extremely nice looking. she combed her hair to the side with gel, shiny in a bun, nice black skirt, and a shawl, light and black cm ca
Good Place to find Mexican Products! .
Pretty extensive offerings from dry goods to produce to meat. Terrific salsa options and prepared food. Beer is generic, but thats to be assumed. Really probably everything you need out of a general Mexican market.
Very friendly staff and the best deals in the fresh produce section in this area..Weekly ads on meat are hard to pass up with a full butcher shop support. Se habla Espanol is primarily spoken.
Horrible experience. cashiers there are very rude. 0 costumer service. there are other good stores around the area. never going back again
Good quality food & prices. Very friendly & helpful crew.
Good Mexican Market. I find everything I need here to make my favorite dishes.
Maria Rodriguez is the kindest cashier I’ve ever met great service .Marco the manager is too much help when I have any questions thanks el metate .beef jerky is great and ceviche shooters
A small store with good produce but the prices are so high.
Authentic Mexican supermarket for all your specialty food needs like chuletas (thin, smoked pork chops for breakfast), soyrizo and shrimp bouillon. Great prices, helpful staff.
If you are looking for a Mexican stuff, thats the place, plus nice costumer service and the meat is fresh and good price!!
Horrible service only like one person there was nice.
I did not go here not sure why this placed me here
I love el metate!
Small market catering to the local Hispanic community. SuperKing has better sale prices.
The good is that the store is convenient, has pretty affordable produce and milk, and has a very friendly staff. The downside is that the selection is limited, the prices on some items can be higher than what youd find in larger stores, and that the meat department isnt anything spectacular.
Good prices for vegetables and Mexican salsas !
Excellent products, fresh and good prices. Recommended supermarket.
Best Mexican Market in Costa mesa, CA
Really greasy tamales stale no flavor at all and really small i should have went to that chinese food off harbor and wilson ..smh
Been coming here for over 20 years now
Its not clean and old product
Great for quick dinners and most of the time great deals. Everyone is very friendly
You can always find things you cant find in other stores,I think its great
For emergency or on the run stops its ok., not for your main grocery store. Fruit & vegetables are too ripe or passed, canned products are dusty, too pricey.
Quite busy on Saturdays, expect long lines. Still a pretty good place.
Really horrible service. Everything is so expensive but sometimes i have no choice but to shop there .
Best produce around
Have unusual ingredients for Mexican food
Horrible experience. The manager there was very rude. Anyone have the phone number so I can call management!
Grate little grocery store.
The food is sometimes expensive and cheap
Horrible place, meat and dairy are nasty and employees are rude and problematic. Dont expect any help from them.
Great variety at excellent prices
A small local grocery store. I rarely go here because the prices are higher.
I didnt go inside

Quality Mexican market
Friendly
Good
Terrible but really bad treatment of the cashiers they are bitter with a dog face it is seen that they are not comfortable they do not enjoy their work they do not know that thanks to us the clients they have work ... especially the one in charge of them a certain Maria. .. as I would like them to give me the opportunity to be a manager for a month to teach them and transmit the value of the clients how to really treat the clientele is more I am willing to give them a course without charging them anything
Cajers Cinthia G. Tiene el peor servicio al clinte.
De Todo un Poco!
Fruits and vegetables are of low quality and everything is very expensive
Very well you have good cuts of meat the only small problem The casino has many cashiers
Their emplaedas of would grow very sour they are not friendly they do not make you want to return I prefer to join you final
Productos mexicanos muy bien
I like the place, the prices are nice if I see them high. Thank you for having Mexican products
I dont like the fruit and vegetable area
Very good super market
I found what I was looking for, buy meat but the Cortes wont grill you, I asked them to do it and they did it to me badly and they measured if it was cut, they have to take it because if I asked it is because they wanted it.
There is no variety
