An absolute gem of a place. Great selection of food and drink and just about anything else you need! Their baked goods are delicious and made in house everyday. Homemade tortilla chips, fresh salsa and a million other things. Even if youre not shopping for food, visit here. Youll find some of the most authentic Hispanic cuisine in the county here! Its delicious and well priced. You can bet Ill be going here again.

This place is the best! It has fresh produce/meats and a great selection. The restaurant is great for lunch or if you need a caterer. A bunch of us from work order food for pick up once a week and it is always great!

Ok, if you are looking at reviews to see how good this place is, you can stop now. Dont cheat yourself by going elsewhere, this place is 100% legit mexican and 1000% delicious! I have been coming here for years and have never had a complaint. The food is completely authentic. The carnitas are my favorite, but try it all!

All the meats are good except the steak in the burritos, quesadillas and tacos. It can be a bit chewy sometimes. But all the other food is outstanding and seasoned really well. The supermarket is full of a great selection of central and South America food.

?Que paso con la calidad de la comida?Ahora la comida en el restaurante es fea.The quality of the food is so bad. It smells horrible. They kept putting it in bags instead of plastic containers. It does make it easier to throw away. We are not going back. The market has also lost our business. Bye bye.

If you havent tried this market you have to get here ASAP. This is the most authentic Mexican supermarket I have ever been to. They sell everything from freshly made tacos to everything you need to make your own delicious Mexican food. They even have a full size meat counter with all of the best cuts of meat for tacos some of which is already pre marinated for you. Also have a great selection of Mexican spices and cheeses as well. If you havent been to the restaurant inside of this grocery store it is absolutely incredible. You can even buy all of the prepared meats by the pound to take home and make tacos for your family.

Recommended by on of our friends who comes from Guadalajara. The produce is very fresh and they have a very impressive meat department. The salsa and guacamole we bought was very tasty.We had lunch there and the tacos where some of the best Ive had - very delicious. The staff working the counter was very friendly.

Carnival Market was recommended to me for a Safety Party I was planning for work. I wanted authentic Mexican cuisine and that is exactly what I got! If you want a wonderful experience that is second to none, if you want to be treated like family, not just another customer, do yourself a favor and check out Carnival Market in Pontiac. The ease of ordering for my party was amazing. The gentleman that took my order answered all of my questions for me and even gave me some suggestions. He said he wants happy customers and for them to know all of their options before ordering. Picking up my order was a breeze as well! Super quick and helpful! They even offered to help me load it in my car for me since Ive got a cane and have trouble walking. My team still talks about the food weeks later! This is honestly the most amazing and delicious Mexican food I have ever had. I can not wait to come back and explore the grocery area! Thank you so much for an amazing experience and for treating me like familia and not just another customer!!! Lowes of Bloomfield Hills will be back for sure, you have our business! ❀❀

First time there, the gentleman who took my order was Johnny On The Spot and very polite. The young lady who cashed me out was very nice and helpful as well. Heard a lot of good things about the food. Carnitas were great, menudo was awesome, barbacoa was not bad (not what I was use to,not great, not bad). I WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK IF/WHEN IN THE AREA, to try more food.

Review β„–61

This is IMO the best Mexican Food in town. A quaint cafeteria located inside the supermarket, using their own products for cooking. Cafeteria prices with big authentic home-cooked flavor, and next to my work. Frequenters tip: it gets very busy at lunch during the week day, so avoid 11-1:00 if you are in a hurry. There are always lots of crews stopping by to get the best deal for authentic food in town. If you work close by and need to go for lunch, note that you might need to have one co-worker grab a table while the others make the line to order. Bonus: MTV Latin playing actual music videos on the TVs while you eat.

The food counter is inside the store, but they do a great job and the food is delicious. Its not fancy, but They have a lot interesting and authentic options that you might not find at a typical Mexican restaurant and are really quick as well.

They opened a new location at Rochester Hills. Family owned and ran. Produce is fresh, fantastic selection of Mexican products & ingredients. If you want to cook an authentic meal Carnival has everything you need! Now if you don’t want to cook, take some food to go. Home cooked meals at fast food speed. Muy delicioso.
