The Tres Leches cake! I've never eaten a tres leches cake like this cake! Total perfection! Just the right sweetness and moisture. The women who work in the bakery department make the cakes. I was told that if I wanted a special cake made, to call and give them at least one day. I believe that whatever cake is in the display will be what I will need. I'll have to share the love with friends now or eat the rest of the cake myself! They also clean up after their work! ¡El pastel de Tres Leches! ¡Nunca he comido un pastel de tres leches como este pastel! ¡Perfección total! La dulzura y la humedad adecuadas. Las mujeres que trabajan en el departamento de panadería hacen los pasteles. Me dijeron que si quería hacer un pastel especial, que llamara y les diera al menos un día. Creo que cualquier pastel que esté en la pantalla será lo que necesitaré. ¡Ahora tendré que compartir el amor con amigos o comerme el resto del pastel yo mismo! ¡También limpian después de su trabajo! read more

I buy there masa preparada for tamales here every year. Very good and not as expensive as other places.

Your employees are beyond rude and so reluctant to help find anything in that store. I will definitely never be coming back. Customer service is suppose to be top priority next to fresh food and clean and organized ambiance. You definitely need a new manager and the district manager should be inspecting new hires after asking 3 people the third guy finally was knowledgeable and helpful. You need new people for return business. Word of mouth is very important for new customers. read more

Awful experience. There are 6 self check outs but they are card only. Then there are only two registers open with long lines. Makes me not want to continue shopping here. read more

We bought menudo today at El Super. And we were really looking forward to eating their menudo, since it had been about 9 months. The price of menudo went up from $8 to $12.99 for large bowl. We were disappointed, because the flavor was very blend hardly any posole. read more

I like to shop here now. They have decent prices for many items. I like to buy food from the cafe. They also have good customer service at my bank. They have a great ambiance for being a supermarket. Very festive. read more

So this is a super affordable place to go to shop for in town. Meat is always on sale and so is the fruits. They have a little counter in which they sell hot and warm food. They also sell alcohol. They have a wide section of counters that one is for cheese, second one so for sea food and third one is for meat. Lines are long so expect to wait for 15-20 minutes. The place is clean and staff for the most part are friendly. read more

I just got some food from La Cosina.I ate soup, and my wife had pork with green chile. The meat was old and hard, and the soup was fucken salty. F... this place. read more

El Super - Caldo de res . - Grocery Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

What a great supermarket! So many nice Mexican foods. We are visiting from Seattle and dont have this sort of sipermarket readily available. Great chicken chili tamales, great guac, great green hatch salsa, among our many yummy finds. The corn pudding (a dessert) is wonderful. read more

store closest at 10 but new management wants to close 20 minutes early LOL !!! they didn't have any fresh meat displayed due to the fact that they wanted to close early. it's dirty in there and the employees are rude and incompetent read more

First time shopping there at El super. When we go there at self check out. The lady employee was so RUDE.

Perfect place to get some powdered chili to bring back home Pros: - the go-to place to get Mexican products. Hard seltzers, powdered chili, agua frescas, you name it - Easy parking, same plaza as Ross etc - Food seems good at the eatery but super long lines Cons: - SUPER long lines. Even in the express line...there only 5 people in front of us but we waited half an hour :( read more

This is a really unique grocery store in the South Valley! They have Mexican products that you aren't going to find anywhere else for really amazing prices and it's just a fun place to browse. What makes this place really special is the unique fresh food stations. They have a tortilleria where you can get freshly made to order tortillas - corn or flour! You can also get great food to go or to eat in the food court area from La Cocina such as tortas, empanadas, street tacos, or shrimp cocktail. Yum! The tacos are my favorite! Again - the prices are amazing! They even have an agua fresca station with a variety of fruits! And if you are looking for gourmet desserts for bomb prices, definitely check out their bakery for everything from gourmet candy apples to beautiful cakes and cake pops! They also have the freshest produce I've seen in town! read more

El Super - I found this in the back of the store when I was shopping. it was bigger in person - Grocery Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am from out of town and had trouble finding a super market along Central in Albuquerque. Found El Super. I was not disappointed. They had what I was looking for and then some. My Spanish is very rusty but all of the signs were bilingual as was the helpful young-lady attendant at the self-checkout. I have found a favorite supermarket chain in the southwest! read more

I was looking for a powdered red chili to bring back to Florida, so I found this market..Just getting into the parking lot was shear Madness once you're in the store BEYOND crazy.. This is a local store so it was packed.. I found the powdered red chili but due to the fact the lines were so long I passed.. They have fresh roasted Hatch Green Chile daily.. Had it been heading home I would have grabbed some of those for sure.. The store has a little bit of everything but if you're going in, be prepared to stand in lines.. read more

Perfect place to get cheaper veggies and fruits. Lots of choices when it comes to meat, marinated or not. They will cook up your seafood! The only downfall to this place is the weekends!!! I wouldn't give them less stars with how busy they can get. Went here on a saturday and ended up in line for seafood for almost 45 min. Then another 45 to checkout. Just plan ahead for a line on the weekends! read more

This review reflects the taco bar, that's it. At a buck and a quarter a piece, that's all you really need to know. From what I understand, when El Ranchero underwent a title change, the taco bar lost some of its character, but the bare bones that remain are more than worthy of a tour. During lunch, you'll stand in line a while, waiting to order, generally because every plate is served up hot and relatively fresh, each corn tortilla grilled on the spot. Like most taquerias, you'll choose from about eight meat options -- vegetarians can order chile rellenos and anticipate queer eye for the meatless guy expressions from staff and surrounding customers. I loved the carne asada but found the barbacoa just too greasy, but that's usually the case. Beans and rice and everything's nice with the salsa bar which, curiously, plays it El Super safe with the heat. I anticipated beloved burnout, didn't get it. One of the great joys of towns like Albuquerque are the endless, cheap dining options, especially in the south valley, where even the grocery store competes with my favorite spot down the street, El Paisa. And if you come from another side of town, as I do, it's the small stuff, culturally, that make the drive worthwhile. When I made it to the register, I requested water with lunch. The woman didn't ask me if I wanted a cup or a bottle. She didn't have anything to offer me. Soda or nothin' at El Super. read more

The panadería is back to its pre-covid state where patrons can select each pastry with tongs and mix 'em up. During the pandemic, they were bagged four-of-the-same. There are also cakes and packaged varieties of bakery products, all affordable. El Super has various departments, including a cocina, and large indoor seating with a TV screen where some locals hangout daily. I always go to El Super when returning to my Atrisco abode after riding ABQ ART. Large variety of grocery items, lot of produce, and of course tortillas galore and Hispanic foods. No organic, I looked; go to NE for organic. Almost always long, slow check-out lines. If you buy meat at the counter, you have to wait in two long lines. People are annoyed by this procedure, but if you know you can't be in a hurry at El Super, it's fine. Lots of very hospitable Spanish-speaking employees. read more

First time in Albuquerque New Mexico & I loved it. Went to el super & I didn't like too much. It needs bright colors. Maybe a different shade of red,turquoise,yellow. it looks tired, depressing,cluttered.the shopping carts do not move well. The store should be an experience. Not just a store. read more

Really good to find this store like I had back home in SoCal. Closest thing to Vallarta and Northgate. The Super I had back home was in National City. Love the selection, only issue was having to pay for a cake at the kitchen rather than just having to pay it all together at the check out, after waiting 20 min along with long lines. read more

The people they have working in the food court or so so so slow took me 30 minutes there was only one customer in front of me to get it and then when I finally get up there and she gets my panda Carnitas she starts helping somebody else and doesn't even ring me out and I'm standing there for another 10 minutes. Train your people better customer service read more

This grocery store is unique in that you will find items found in Mexico. They have a great butcher shop and dining area. The bakery has some great sweet breads and other items. The produce prices are lowest around with many fresh herbs. Shoppers are expected to bag their own purchases. read more

*NM DONUT KWEEN ADVENTURES* #35 for 2019 I have a mixed review of El Super for many reasons. Mostly, i loved ProRanch and the whole style they had. El Super while similar still lacks things for me. 1. I miss the fun hut style area that you purchased fresh made agua frescas and salsas. However, El Super still serves freah made agua frescas but every time ive been here its disorganized and really has an employee there to help you with your drink order. So youre asking this person and that person till someone finally helps. 2. I miss the old Taqueria where you could order tacos and thats it and the fun salsa bar! There is still a taqueria but you order along with the mostly big line of all the other food orders. Again, disorganized. 3. I miss the variety of donuts the other store used to haven El Super still has donuts just not a big selection. Mind you, you might feel I'm being a negative Nelly but that's not it at all. I'm merely pointing out the differences. I shop at el super quite frequently. I love their sale prices especially when the dragon fruit goes on sale. I still order Donuts every time I come here and I still get an agua fresca! Every now and then I order the tacos because I love them so much. I DO love change and I think change is great for everyone but I really do miss the setup of the old store. So if you haven't tried El super just know: they have amazing products that you can't find other stores, they have great prices that are definitely lower or comparable to the Big Chain grocery stores and their bakery has one of a kind items! Visiting El Super can sometimes be a day trip because there's so much to look at! There is so many aisles to go up and down! Just life fellow yelper Larry M. mentioned come in for lunch...browse the store and have another lunch! The NM Donut Kween couldnt have said it any better! Its definitely a fun adventure! read more

Well, we went El Super had lunch and then went shopping. Such an array in the meat department with actual butchers behind the displays ! Lunch is good Mexican food with tables to eat with condiments buffet style. Don't forget the real juices available. Great Mexican atmosphere, so far- we love it there ! Found what I've been looking for - cabeza de borrego ! Jess & Marie read more

Recently started coming here again and I've been really happy with it. So far I've only been coming here to get fajita meat (amazing prices), desserts (delicious), and tortilla chips (the monster sized bag is only $7.99) They have a huge produce section with some stuff you won't find at the regular grocery. It's worth a trip up and down the aisles to find some new things. read more

Love this place for produce--seriously! 3lbs limes for $0.99? Just one of many bargains especially on summer season produce. Fresh tortillas, amazing bakery and ready cooked Latino foods. read more

El Super - Basket of produce for $30! - Grocery Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Ordered 2 taco plates.the meat meat was dry and rubbery. Dining area dirty tables and flies. Produce squash display full of molded product. Restrooms dirty/no paper. No room to walk because workers are stocking during evening rush. Cashier/mgr. Would not honor prices posted. They would rather argue than fix the problem/ and let a paying customer leave unhappy...which i won't be returning read more

My mom and I went to buy some things we needed. We ended up using the self check out because they always have two cashier lanes open and always long lines. We were finished scanning and paying. My mom had to go back in to check pricing for meat. While she was in the meat area I was stopped by the two women workers asking for my receipt and was checking my cart like if we took something! I felt offended by the way they approached me I was the only one that was getting my cart checked and receipt while every one was walking out after they paid. They said it was protocol to check receipt and carts which I call bs! They were so unprofessional it was shocking! If we were men they would us let go with no hesitation! Instead of flirting with men do your jobs right act professional! I will never go back to that store ever! read more

Wow! What a bakery! Grab a bag and some tongs and get set for a baked good taste extravaganza. Every one of their baked items are "nuggets" of love. I'm glad that on my travels on Route 66, I found this lively Hispanic Supermarket. read more

Not the cleanest place, workers are rude, limited selection goes down hill from here.

This is a GREAT store! Excellent selection of very fresh yet inexpensive fruit and vegetables. Lots of fresh meat - many different cuts and good quality at good prices. All signs are in English and Spanish. People (customers and employees) are very friendly and helpful. Oh, I almost forgot - they have a hot bar with almost everything you'd want. I love their tamales, posole, burritos and tacos. OUTSTANDING!!! read more

My new favorite place to grocery shop. Too bad it's so far away from home! But it's worth the drive for me. Best Mexican store I've been to in abq. Everything is organized, clean & great prices. Everything's so cheap! They have the best prices for fruits & veggies. You can even eat before you shop. They have a small restaurant on the side. Everything I tasted was delicious. Awesome tacos, yummy Spanish rice, & delicious soups & stews. All so cheap too! read more

This is a busy market. We went here for lunch and the lines to check out were extremely long. They are a lot cleaner than I thought with their salsa out for you to self serve. Everyone that comes here are so respectful and cleans after themselves, or someone comes by and cleans real fast. I want to try everything they had because it all looked so good. I didn't get a chance to explore the whole market, but I will next time. Favorite place to get authentic Mexican food. read more

QUE WOW! This place is my new favorito. I got some Tamarind Jarrito, El Jimedor Taquila, and some Tajin to make tamarind margs. Also I come out with some flan and dragon fruit. If you are on the market for fresh and diverse produce, amazing Latin deli, and an expansive bakery, this is the place. Clerks were helpful if we needed to find anything specific and I plan to go back for queso fresca and cojita cheeses. read more

This is now where Pros Ranch Market used to be. They have cleaned things up a bit, reset the shelves and re-branded the store as El Super. I don't know if Pros got bought out or the exact details, but from what I saw it is an improvement. Everything that you came to Pros Ranch Market for is still here at super cheap prices. There are especially good prices on beans, lentils, split peas, and seasonal fruit & veggies. Of course, the baked goods are sinfully tempting. If you are on a low salt diet, this is the only place in town I have found low-sodium salt; yes, that is not a typo. They have Morton "Lite" salt that has 1/2 the sodium of table salt because it also uses potassium chloride. If you have a low salt diet, you also often have to find sources of potassium to lower your blood pressure. 1/4 tsp has 350 mg of potassium. I suppose only people with HBP would even care, but otherwise I have only found this online; so it is a rare find in town. What has changed is that everyone is a little more friendly, the aisles are a bit more clean and there are newer touches here and there. It is a good change. read more

I had to stop in for distilled water. It's near my house and it's usually super busy. But being 8 p.m. it wasn't too bad. Very clean I didn't use the restrooms so I can't give you a review. But the fruits and vegetables are in great condition at a low price. They have all varieties of food from milk to bread to canned vegetables. American food and Mexican food. With a large variety of meats at their large butcher area. As well as a place to Dine-in and eat. read more
