We only came in for a quick second to grab a coffee and could not help but get a couple giant chicharrones! We walked into this tight little store that had everything you could think of! The isles were pretty small, but again, they have so much in product. It's mostly food from what I can see. Since my trip was so quick, all I can say is the smell of chicharrones filled that little store and I couldn't help myself. I got (only) two, one for my man and one for me! These were the best chicharrones we have ever had. I wish they made them this good anywhere near my hometown. My handsome man didn't realize he was going to like it so much! We literally almost went back for more! Please stop in and say hello! Grab a delicious hot coffee and a bag full of chicharrones! Be sure to bring me a bag, too!! read more

Azteca Market No 2 - These are the best chicharrones I have ever had! Perfect flavor! Perfect bite! Mmmm! - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Rafael, California

We came in today to buy meat, and when we got home, it smelled absolutely horrible. I always try to support small businesses, even though the prices are higher, because I've always believed the quality and freshness were worth it. This meat was supposed to be dinner for my kids, and it was completely spoiled. When I brought it back to the store, they passed it around for everyone to smell. Everyone agreed it smelled bad, yet they refused to give me a refund and would only offer store credit. That's very disappointing customer service. They then gave me replacement meat, but when I got home, that meat was spoiled too. I didn't go back because they already seemed upset that I had returned the first package. What concerns me the most is that they continued selling the same batch of meat instead of throwing it away. If multiple packages are spoiled, the responsible thing to do is pull the product from the shelves to protect customers. I'm very disappointed with this experience. Please do better when it comes to food safety and customer service. read more

Store hours say 8pm, and store was closed at 7:30pm. What's that about? Especially if this is a market, and there are items I need. Very inconvenient! read more

There's some food that are expired and I told one of the workers to check the food cabinets but they looked at me very angry and upset and the meat department guy looks at the customers with an angry face and it doesn't look welcoming at all. There's a lot of weird people looking at me thinking that I'm a homeless person. I asked for help to the workers and asked them for honey because I had a bad cold and they seem to not understand what I was asking for. I will never come back at this store anymore! There's a lot of creepy people there stay away! THEY ARE USELESS, NOT HELPFUL I'm very upset :( read more

I bought a product that had a good explanation day but it was with mold. I tried to exchange for a different package and they refused it. Costumer service is terrible, they don't care about costumer satisfaction. Never again visit this place and I recommend you do the same if you don't want to get "FOOD POISONING ". read more

El servicio al cliente aquí es pésimo. Las señoras son constantemente groseras y nada servicial. Si un artículo no está en el estante, no se ofrecen a revisarlo en la bodega, y en lugar de eso pasan el tiempo conversando en la caja registradora. Cuando uno les pide ayuda o que lo cobren, actúan molestas, como si los clientes fueran una carga. Da la impresión de que no quieren estar ahí, y lamentablemente descargan esa actitud en quienes van a comprar. read more

This unsuspecting little corner market packs quite a bit of surprises! They have pre packaged bags of pan dulce at front window. Incredibly impressed by the flavor, softness and freshness! I found unique spices and cubes of bouillon for Columbian, Argentinian, Puerto Rican cooking. Very specific flavors not at the average supermarket. They had a pretty good variety of fruits and vegetables too like plantains for Salvadoran cooking as well. Its well worth the drive. I'd go again for the little variety packs of pan dulce!! read more

I came in for the fresh tortillas. They were sold out, so I bought some thicker ones. I love the butcher shop. Everything looked great. I got two Tamales one chicken one pork. The pork was my favorite. I hear they have Carnitas cooking here on the weekend, I will return. Everyone here was super sweet and helpful. This is a lovely neighborhood market. It has many Latin items just a stone's throw from my house. Its small and won't have everything you want but might have a few choice items you need for a particular dish. I loved the selection of dried chilis. The Flank Steak in the butcher's counter looked really good. read more

My favorite chicharrón. Specially if you get it fresh around 10 am.I have never had a bad experience at this market.

If I could give them 0 stars I would. I have been coming to this place since I was a child. The owners beforehand would really take care of their business. Now fast forward to 2020, this business is not as great as it use to be. I would come mine here to purchase chicharon, fresh meat and many more items. I called in to make an order for bread the morning before. Something I have always done before hand. The lady explained that it would be ready the next day. I arrive today to pick up my bolillos and the two cashiers are looking at each other as if I am the problem. The women starts talking to me as if I am ignorant and explains the process. The owner was there as well and he did NOTHING about the situation. I hope that ALL staff here can get properly trained. They definitely lost my business overall. I left with no bread because apparently I did not call in time to make an order. read more

I go to Aztec market for hard-to-find items like plantains, chayote squash, and fresh corn tortillas. You need to get there very early for the tortillas. I've found everyone working there to be friendly and helpful. read more

Now that Azteca Market in Harbor Center is closed, this is my go to place for thick corn tortillas. It's a full service Hispanic Market; I even saw that they had fresh rocoto chiles once. My Peruvian friends went nuts. Parking is a pain. On the weekends, they have carnitas cooking in the far back next to the meat display case. You can either help yourself, or someone can help you. I like the taste of their carnitas the best of the various places in San Rafael I can get them. I also like being able to select the pieces that I want. They also have pretty good tamales; the pork ones sell the fastest. They take credit cards. read more

The market is under new ownership. The employees are very unfriendly and RUDE. The cashier didn't acknowledge me, I had to say hello to her. At the end of the transaction, the cashier and another woman behind the counter didn't say. "thank you", I had to tell them "Thank you", twice because they didn't hear me the first time. I'd rather go to the Plazita Market on Kerner. read more

Great place to get all the things needed for authentic Mexican or Central American dishes. They have all the required cuts of meats, all the things needed for side dishes, all kinds of tortillas and tostadas, jamaica & tamarind for your aguas frescas. If you don't speak any Spanish, have no fear, all the staff are always friendly and the butchers are always willing to help. However, I do agree with the other post, the produce is sub-par. read more

This place was great. Awesome selection of Latin food. But more than that, it was the outstanding service. My wife bought a can of soda but it was a bit dirty, we asked for a napkin. Not only did the cashier give her a napkin but he went and found a straw for her. It's something that is not in his job description but he went over and beyond. We will definitely keep buying from here next time we are in the area!!! :) read more

My husband drops of his dry cleaning close by and we passes in front of Azteca last weekend and what do I see screaming at me in the window? Pan Dulce! I told him I was going on the flooring weekend. I'm so glad I did. Grabbed the pan dulce, tortillas and chicken tamales! This is one happy girl. I walked around like a kid in a candy store, went back to my roots and spoke only Spanish which was wonderful. Going back next week to search a little more. I think all would have been perfect if I could have found some refried beans. read more

Azteca Market No 2 - Convenience Stores Near Me - San Rafael, California

This is one of the best kept secrets in Marin County. A friend of mine told me about the fresh chicharrones that they make daily. I decided to give them a try. Went and bought a couple lbs and brought them back to work. Now all of my coworkers as myself are hooked. Best chicharrones that I have ever tasted. read more

This place has everything you need for International food not only Mexican. Their carnitas and chicharrón are the best as well as the tamales. Great place to get fresh bread and bake goods Prices are great ! read more

One day after grabbing some lunch at Sol Food, I decided to check out this small little market around the corner. I'm not gonna lie. What drew me in was the pan dulce! Its so inexpensive and fresh that you can't get a better deal elsewhere. I haven't browsed the entire store yet but will do this next time I'm in the area. For $0.83 I got two pan dulces which ain't bad! The staff is very friendly too. I guess I still look relatively latino since they always greet me in Spanish before I give away what a gringo I am as I reply in English! read more

This place has rats its a no go for me. Id rather shop at the Original Azteca Market in the harbor center so much more to choose from and the meat is out of this world. read more

I like this place a lot. It has everything my New Mexican heart can desire in the way of comida, and also stocks knick knacks like veladoras (I found a Malverde candle here --AWESOME). I personally recommend the carne asada from the deli. read more

Nice little market for many meats, poultry and canned goods. And, the prices are good too. Dropped a star because most of the produce is marginal in quality. read more

I decided to visit a blast from the past as far as shopping centers. I went to Azteca market 2 located in the Harbor Shopping area. Every store I ever knew is completely gone. this market is located in the far back where you had to find the diamond in the rough. They had exactly what I was looking for and the meat counter is a definite must. Fast and friendly service, too, and a lot of specialty items. read more

This market is great! They have the best carnitas in Marin!!! they prepare masa for your tamales or yo mke your own tortillas at home; they have great sweet bread and so much more read more

Service is really bad! Cashiers do not attend people well. They talk while attending people and do not give 100% focus on costumers. The people there seem to not want to work there, makes costumer feel like they are not worth the workers time. Attend costumers in a really bad mood, would not recommend going to the store! read more

Here's a place to buy authentic ingredients for Central American cuisine. Crave a big bowl of menudo? No problem: they've got cow feet and tripe. Making _real_ tamales? They've got tubs of lard cheap. Blending your own mole? They've got the right chiles at cheap prices, not at the ridiculous prices you see at Whole Paycheque... I mean Foods. Want just the right Mexican chocolate? Check. read more

I love this place!! I'm not Hispanic, but the owners and counter help here are always very helpful and friendly. They have a wide assortment of Mexican food, produce, drinks, spices and a great meat selection. It's fun to go inside with all of the pinatas hanging from the ceiling. I love their home made tamales (pork &chicken) and they only cost $1.30 each! Two of them and I'm stuffed!!! Check em out. Five stars for sure. read more
