There are plenty American products to select from that are organic. (Not that I'm only wanting American products) I rarely buy American groceries here, as I prefer to shop the perimeter, but it's always nice to have the option. Their pricing for produce is extremely reasonable, and this is where they beat Whole Foods. The staff are all so incredibly helpful, warm and welcoming. Needless to say, their service is outstanding. We found it recently, while on a search for organic kefir, (they even had the brand I like!!) and instantly won me over! We've become regular shoppers there, even though we live an hour away!

The produce section appears organic and is so fresh, all inclusive, and super inexpensive. When you enter the store the small specialty bread offered is in front of the produce area. Yes, this is a best kept secret: my first taste of real artisan baked select and delivered daily, sourdough rounds, walnut, whole wheet, all seed, dark russian rye, garlic w gruyere, rosemary, french rolls, baguette's artisan baked and dense like home in San Francisco, CA. There are exquisite cheese's, organic yogurt, good pasta, dairy, hummus, juices from Cali, bulk dry foods, kitchen wares, specialty flavor's and curry style paste and spice's, tea, chocolates, coffee, cooking oils, from Southeast Asia. The friendly, helpful butcher's are in the back area ( English ok) and is impressively stocked with most everything and the quality is a cut above the rest. This is a smaller mercado and not to be compared to its sister market "Maria LUIS" in Maneadero. I love how this market is not huge and impersonal. Clearly it is managed by a team who understands the importance of great customer service, stocking their shelves selectively and cohesively, conve ience and organization, cleanliness, and how to market their goods etc.... I have made a special trip here just for the bread, produce, or meat on occasion.

American Customs allows you to bring back marinated flank steak to the US, so pick up some extra for home use.

Pick up some fresh tortillas from any local supermarket along with some fresh salsa (salsa cruda). Toss these steaks on the grill and you are an instant expert in Mexican cuisine.

The groceries and meats and anything refrigerated is okay, but the produce is questionable. The watermelons were really cheap, and we soon found out why: it was spoiled rotten. The onions and citrus fruits were okay, as were the bananas, so maybe the watermelons were a fluke. At any rate, it was concerning. Maybe we're used to American ways of keeping food, but the flats of eggs were also not refrigerated. But my in-laws, who get fresh eggs locally in ELA, don't refrigerate their eggs right away also... must be an OG thing...

It is such a unique grocery experience, very clean and stocked up well. As soon as I walked in, I noticed they have a hot and ready station stocked up with meat-not chicken-but meat! that is already cooked and ready to consume. I ended up buying the T-bone steak. The meat itself was seasoned well, however a bit too rough to chew. I'd rate it 3/5. I'm used to only chicken in America being ready to go! They also have several alcoholic selections, beer and other spirits. This store offers self check out as well as the cashiers who are ready to assist. They also offer pesos exchange currency which is highly suggested to carry around when visiting Mexico. But this store also accepts debit/credit cards. The eggs were the iconic topic of the weekend; coming at a pack of 30 for $5.47 you definitely cant beat that in America's current prices. We survived off eggs for our four day weekend in Rosarito. Food definitely tastes different compared to California's groceries, but that's because they probably don't use pesticides in their veggies and such. Most of their produce is grown near by so I'm sure that's where the stores get their supply. Overall, this store was a huge convenience to have next to our Airbnb stay, walking distance makes it even better. Parking lot is big as well.

I wanted to make pizza so I got the spicy Italian & pepperoni sausages for it, and both of them were soooo tasty. Three sausages + the $6 basil pesto totaled a little over $18. Of course $12 for three sausages isn't particularly sustainable for a lot of us, but when it's a special occasion or you're wanting to treat yourself, it's very worth it :) The staff is great, and the place is located in an area a lot of parking and close to balboa. The basil pesto was also really yummy, I added a little lemon to it because I love a little more citrus in mine and it really made all the flavors pop.

It was a perfect source for our food runs since we stayed at an AirBnb nearby. It's pretty dark inside where there is a wall of produce shelves with vegetables like cilantros, cebolla (green onions), rábanos (radishes), and yams. There's plenty of fruit like apples, bananas, mangos, pera (pears) and kiwi. You can find an assortment of household items from toilet paper to cleaning products to canned goods. Spices, chips and ice cream bars are also available. We picked up some fruit and toiletries on our previous stop. Next door is a bakery too, so your stop here won't be in vain if you can't find anything. The store is at traffic intersection and taxis are parked outside, so it's fairly convenient and easy to spot. If we visit again, we'll probably stop by!

We showed up in the afternoon and there were only a few people here. Our tour guide told us this was his favorite spot and that we had to try them, so we told him we were down to give it a try. We got a bunch of tacos to give all the meats a try, but the stand outs were by far the fish tacos and my Mulita of Carne Asada. My wife also got a Chorizo taco and she said it was really delicious. They bring the tacos out to you with all the sauces, and they are for sure all made fresh. You can taste the freshness. On top of that you can't beat the price. The workers are also all super nice. Just a heads up it's not right on the Main Street where most tours or cruise ships lead you but if you can get a ride or have someone take you here I highly recommend you come try this place out.

The pescado tacos here are to die for but my favorite was definitely the camarón taco . They give you generous portions of the pickled red onion and salsas on the side, so load up your tacos!

A simple concept where you can mix in 48 (I counted) different chips, fruit and candy into a cup, have them mixed together and create an awesome spicy and salty snack. A sample of what you can put in a cup? Tostitos, chips, flaming hot Cheetos, churritos, Japanese peanuts, spicy peanuts, raw peanuts, mango, watermelon, pineapple, spicy apples, cucumbers, candy, gummy worms/bears and saladitos. There are another 30 or so items that I am missing from this list, but you get the idea. After you choose you mix ins, they will then mix it all together with chamoy, chili, clamato and lime so everything gets evenly covered. You can also choose to not get any of the chili or chamoy at the end if you aren't into that. But then you are just missing out on what makes it so tasty. I got one full of mango, pineapple, apple and all the peanuts mixed in, and it was amazing. All my favorites in one spicy jumbled sweet mess of of saltiness. It was truly a first for me, and enjoyed it until the very last bite. I did pay with my Chase credit card, which worked out great. I was charged in pesos, but the charge appeared on my statement already converted to dollars without any foreign exchange fees. This is done at the current exchange rate, so you get an extra 10% more for your money. Most cards charge foreign exchange fees, so be sure you are using the right card before you start to swipe the plastic at every establishment. Very inexpensive, starting at 35$ pesos ($2.50) for the small cup, which is surprisingly filling. A great concept, and a must try if you happen to be in town.
