This is the Mercado version of HEB! Think "ethnic section" but amazingly the whole store! If you've ever been to a Mexican Meet Market, a Taqueria, and panderia, (taco shop, Mexican Bakery) this is it, all in one. Don't be afraid by the demographic that shops here, I did see Austin Gentrifiers equipped with man-buns shopping the store, all though it was with a look of discomfort. What you'll find is amazing selection of meats, all sorts of fresh cheese's, and a surprising assortment of seafood! Today live Blue Crab was $7.99 / lb. Absolutely amazing. The produce has a wide variety you won't find at other stores...with things such as banana leafs used for steaming. ...did I mention fresh tamales? Get out of your comfort zone, explore some new food items, and have fun. It's welcome here. read more

I just got ripped off by the cashier (Jenny). She charged my for 3 large avocados ($7.50) which I did not buy. I bought 2 small one which were on sale for 2/99 cents. When I told her about it, she removed only $5.00 from the bill. I called the store when I got home and they said the next time I come to the store I should ask for Juk who will provide the rest of the refund?? read more

Fiesta Mart #25 - 2 small hass avocados #4046 - International Grocery Near Me - Austin, Texas

I like that I can find some products here that I cannot find at other grocery stores; however, their produce section is not good AT ALL. Sometimes they even keep selling produce that has gone bad or rotting. Do they not have someone checking on their produce? Or do they just not care? Very disappointed. read more

I went to the store yesterday. I had a terrible bad experience. No one barely spoke English the person who was post to be my personal shopper did not even know what I wanted and didn't know how to do a personal shopper doing most of the time I'm trying to tell her what I want she was talking to somebody in Spanish this sound ridiculous read more

Every single time I shop there, cost labels are inaccurate, old and just flat out not even under the item sold. Expired products on shelves. Also, cashiers always make mistakes and when I talk to the manager nothing is ever rectified and if the one chance it is, I'm held up for at least 30 minutes to get my 40 cents back. Get it together! read more

We decided to drop in here on a whim and I'm glad we did. This grocery store has a large parking lot that is shared with other stores so there is a bit of an issue with that. But this store is huge and has several ethnically marked aisles. The one issue I had with it is that there is no organization within those aisles which can make it hard to find things in them. Several aisles have the same things in them as other aisles when I think they could have been combined. They have lots of religious candles which comes in handy. They have a very large produce area, a bakery, a meat counter, and even make napales there as well. Check-out was easy and the store was very clean. I'd come back for sure. read more

I feel I like prices here may be a bit higher than I tiger places like Walmart, or HEB. BUT they do have a wayyyy larger variety of products you won't find anywhere also. They sell products from a lot of countries, so it's convenient if this is what you're looking for. I went in midday on a Saturday at the place was chill except for the cafeteria they have by the entrance. They had a very long line waiting to grab an affordable plate from their menu. Knew I had to see what all the fuss was about. The options they had looked good and tasted great! I chose the mojarra frita, came with rice and veggies or beans, for only $8.99! Best deal in town! Highly recommend this grocery store, a lot of options if you want to expand your palate. read more

These raggedy racist bastards in here!!! Lawdhammercy, they're lucky I was coming from a float at True Rest or I would've cussed errrbody out!!! After waiting in the seafood section for 10 minutes and being the only other customer there, 3 other couples showed up. The butcher straight walked passed me and went straight to "his people" even after I repeatedly stated I was next, he never even acknowledged me, the people had to tell him that I was next because obviously I was invisible. Like this MF wouldn't even make eye contact to me while I was talking to him. Thankfully "his folks" were honest because that asshole would've ignored the shit outta me. too bad this is the only fiesta out here/closer to Elgin and the only place I can find Patton's Hot Sausage for my gumbo read more

If you're going to cook mole poblano, you make a beeline for Fiesta, and you'll find every ingredient you need... all 42 of them. If you need queso fresco, chicharrones, banana leaves or chile mulato, this is the #1 and ONLY place to go in town. Fiesta also has a nifty international section that includes British, Indian, Peruvian and Puerto Rican ingredients, among many goodies from other nationalities. Fiesta doesn't try to be HEB or Whole Foods or what not. It is what it is and it's damn good at it. I do have one bone to pick with Fiesta, though (management, hope you're listening!)... How did you miss the Day of the Dead so completely? No fresh marigolds, only a few tired looking little panes de muerto, and so on? This is a massive marketing opportunity and the gringo stores are going to steal it from you. Also, how about some REAL bolillos, with a crispy crust? Thank you for listening :) read more

Great place to shop! Great variety of foods and Mexican foods. Pleasant place to shop. read more

Eh, I wish I liked this place more. It's the closest store with a reliable supply of yerba mate, so I have to visit on a semi-regular basis. There's an excellent selection of products from Latin America, to a lesser extent from the rest of the non-US world. Prices for the imports are very good. The meals they prepare on-site are tasty and reasonably priced. Prices for general groceries are quite high; I'd say downright uncompetitive, when compared to HEB. So, you fill your basket or cart, and then you get to the checkout. Nearly every time I've been, checkout lines are backed up well into the aisles, and getting out of the store is extremely inefficient. Fiesta will keep me as a customer as long as they stock yerba mate. If it weren't for that, I'd ghost them. read more

I would like to express my amazement and pleasure at the customer service/care I received at the Fiesta on I35 in Austin, at the hands of the young cashier Deandre. He was so helpful with the couple ahead of me, who had a young child, and had left behind one item; he ran after them to give it to them. He also helped me with my groceries, some of which were heavy, by personally placing them in my cart. I would follow DEANDRE anywhere he worked to have such a kind and friendly service. read more

The lines for paying were too long. Only 4 cashiers open at 9:30pm. (1 was the express line) Obviously a busy time for this place. Also, the lines were moving really slow. We were 5th in line and took us 25 minutes to pay. The "manager", Liz, did not have more employees to open more lines. She was diligent, trying to help everyone read more

Good market located in mid-town Austin, just east of the 35. Went there recently with the express goal of finding some decent frozen chicken burritos and real chicharrones. (Apparently the ones you typically find in a bag are closer to Funyons Onion Snacks then pork cracklings.) Well, mission half-accomplished. Couldn't really find anything in the frozen section that stood out from the local HEB's, which surprised me. However, the store does sell chicharrones which are 'the real deal', and they are full of greasy goodness. :-) The main standout area is in the produce section, where they have several items you can't find easily in other stores, particularly varieties of peppers. Recommended if you're trying to find just the right ingredient for your Mexican or Tex-Mex cooking! read more

This place is great. If you are ever wondering if the Mexican pastries are good the Pan Dulce is a little dry, tres leches is amazing and so are all the flans super delicious. Johnny (manager) and Carol we very nice with me. They had great service. When I had to return a cake that was missed labeled and they let me get a new fresher cake. read more

It has fresh produce, and the seafood is delicious. I highly recommend this store. You can find a lot of Mexican ingredients here

We love this grocery store! One of the best places to all different kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those types of vegetables that you would probably not get at a regular HEB. We love trying out their different types of vegetables, from pre-cut nopales to round bread fruit to myer lemons and much more. It is paradise for people like my husband and I who love cooking and experimenting with new ingredients. Their fresh fish station has great looking seafood and their meat counter always has a variety of options. It is also a great one-stop-shop for people looking for ingredients and condiments from around the world. I love their Indian products aisle as I can get many much needed essentials for my Indian kitchen. One thing that was interesting is that they also sell Mexican inspired outfits and all different kinds of sombreros which we thought was fun. From cheap durable plastic-ware to sombreros, from fresh vegetables to jewelry, this place has it all! read more

TIP: Excellent homemade food in their deli. Only issue is that they use prepackaged tortillas. They should be fresh. :-/ As for the actual store. Well, I love it. It feels like a cross between an H.E.B. that is modern and clean, along with a sample of a Mexican market where you can buy fresh aguas frescas (fresh fruit water) and tacos or tortas made by older Mexican ladies. The deli is on the right as soon as you enter and you might be better off killing your hunger there before walking into the rest of the store. You can also grab yourself some blue bell ice cream in the little section exactly to the left of the main entrance. They flank you quick when you are coming or going! :) Their produce section is pretty neat with a variety of products you might not find at other grocery stores and they do tend to have good sales on certain items. I have noticed that they will almost always be offering more limes for a dollar than any other spot. Usually around 10, sometimes up to 20! I have yet to partake, but they do offer a nice assortment of fresh seafood with a few different types of whole fish that you won't see at other grocers. Straight forward from the door there are a few international aisles that have everything from Indian, Filipino, Thai and other Asian products. A couple of the other reviews on here, actually speak about the country origins of those products in better detail. Of course, the main products you will find will be a lot of Spanish products including Mexican. I decided to look for frying cheese there just in case, and go figure. They had it! I discovered fried cheese in NYC because the Puerto Ricans and Dominicans over there make it a lot especially when frying up plantain chips. It was a very welcome introduction back onto my palatt. You can also find a multitude of other Latin and Mexican products such as hats, pots & pans, sandals, tortilla presses, tortilla warmers, etc. Many of the things that can be expected to be found at an outdoor market. read more

Yes, I was able to find most Latin items needed. The store was neat and employees helpful.

This place has HORRIBLE customer service!!! Greg the manager and assistant manager have the worst customer service and have no respect for customers!!! I hope corporate sees this and gives them two a call to explain them better how to do their job. I'd be more than happy to explain to corporate of there actions. read more

I really appreciate the great customer service from the seafood department. Even though it was a busy Sunday they where extremely efficient and polite. Look forward to getting all my quality seafood again read more

Spotless store with an amazing variety of ALL products! Produce department was a work of art with the displayed veggies and fruits! Went to check the goods at the butcher counter but the line was too long. Wished for a better selection at the cafe for to go food. Menu was hard to read and the selections didn't match.

This place came in clutch when I needed ingredients for my Caribbean dishes!! Had everything I needed!

They sell Faygo. I dated this girl once who swore she would let me give her a Faygo shower as we were intimate but it never came to pass. I don't hold Fiesta Mart accountable for this, it was just timing. Great selection and eases my white guilt. They have exotic Mexican candy and you can get your taxes done there. You can also buy items from the gumball machines that will have your children embrace the thug/gangsta lifestyle early on because ain't nobody got time to raise no weaklings. Open 24 hours so I can venture down there as the kids sleep. They are gonna have to get used to that too. ZERO room for weakness. I found a bunch of "death" candles there and surrounded junior's bed with them. He is now in a band and they play REAL metal as a result. No one tops Fiesta mart. NO ONE. read more

Better service now love it, customer service improved a lot, and they seem more organized now...

Fiesta is our go to store for groceries when we are looking for multiple things ranging from produce to Indian spices to Mexican cheese to mudbugs. The prices are reasonable and there's a lot of choices, particularly look for store specials for the week. We are always on the lookout for a good deal for Topochico (Texans know what I'm talking about). Their seafood section offers a variety of choices including the Gulf Coast shrimp and oysters at a very reasonable price and fresh product quality. Recommended to come in early to get your hands on the fresh produce and they seem to run out of multiple items in the produce section as the day progresses. We will continue to come here to stock up on multiple items that are usually trips to different stores, this makes it a one stop shop. It's 24 hours but not everything is available 24 hours such as their Fresh tortillas, and the food section also closes later in the evening! Stop by, you never know what you're going to find ! read more

I kind of love this Fiesta a little, and wish that we went there more, because I kinda hate the HEB across I-35 that we do end up shopping, but the latter is not only closer on foot but directly between my home and Fiesta. HEB also has one saving grace that is also my achilles' heel, to mix metaphors so much that you could bake with them, and that is a fantastic beer selection, something that Fiesta lacks. But I'm done apologizing: Fiesta is awesome. Like a giant version of the Flag Store in Hyde Park, Fiesta will make you reexamine what you thought grocery shopping was about: you may very well come home with the usuals plus several foreign spices that you'd always wanted to try, a $6 belt and a straw cowboy hat with a brim so wide that it can shelter your date. Or maybe that's just what I come home with. Unclear. In case the name and the constant supermarket-as-street-market theme you get from the reviews here escaped you, Fiesta has a south-of-the-border feel to it, from products to staff to clientele. That works to your advantage if you like Mexican beer, which they are always buying in bulk and selling dirt cheap (think $9.75 12-packs of Tecate) or, maybe, just really always wanted a piñata at your next grad social. Your visit is infinitely customizable that way. As everyone else has pointed out, there are fantastic specials on produce and seafood and a huge foreign foods section that shames anything that the other corporate players in town offer. The lines here are reasonably quick despite the fact that some of the cashiers don't speak English. (Side note: this is a mere observation, not some weird reactionary rant.) It makes you wonder what the impossibly bad customer flow at HEB is getting so wrong. In any case, Fiesta is both a good supermarket and an essential "welcome to Austin" destination for newbies. And you just can't write that sentence about too many places. read more

The lines. The checkout lines are absolutely terrible. Doesn't matter if it's 12pm or 9 pm. I've been in 10 minute lines during both times. Selection of foreign food is awesome (hence two stars instead of one), but I can't get over the chaos of the lines and crowds. There is also a Wells Fargo inside which can be a plus, but avoid at all costs on the 1st or 15th as it's the worst time of the month to visit. read more

There are so many unique south of the border items in this store. It is so neat to go inside and look around. You can also get many unique spices to cook with. My favorite thing to see was the dried peppers hanging from string. It anelled wonderful in there with all the spices. You can find so many different things from Mexico and its like you were already there. Just a neat place. read more

First time shopping here. I decided to eat beforehand, BEST IDEA EVARRR. I had a steak fajita taco and some beans.... delicious! I usually go to HEB but I wanted to see if I could find food cheaper... I totally did! The variety here is amazing, they even had "Tofutti" which I used to buy all the time when I was a vegetarian and haven't seen anywhere else. Buying in bulk here is the way to go especially when something is on special. I bought 2 packs of 18 eggs for .88 cents each! I plan on saving the receipt and doing a similar shopping trip to HEB again just to see what the real differences are. I purchase Lean Cuisine's often and they were about .40 cents more at Fiesta. That was the only real noticeable difference and since you're saving on other items, not really a big deal. For buying fresh, Fiesta is the way to go... the only thing I wasn't too happy with was the red onions. They were pretty small compared to HEB's. read more

During my recent trip to Austin, I decided to visit the Fiesta market curious as to which hispanic foods they actually offer. It's a very large grocery store with a few stands outside selling clothing, and a food stand inside. I was surprised to see they are open 24 hours, but I assume this helps alleviate the crowds. The majority of the store sells your typical grocery items with a small section by the produce dedicated to international food products. Don't be discouraged by the name, they offer foods from Asia, the Caribbean, and Europe as well. I was hopeful to find a few Costa Rican products, but once again I was left disappointed. I have yet to find any Hispanic food market to carry these items on a regular basis. This wouldn't be a big deal to me but as soon as I walked in they had a large Costa Rican flag displayed... very deceiving. My major complaint and the main source of this low rating is that part of the market had an intolerable stench. As soon as you approach the seafood counter (even from 25 ft away) you can detect the smell of foul seafood. This was truly disturbing and I quickly left that area. Other than that, you are sure to find something to spice up your cooking here so it's worth a try at least once. read more

I have driven past Fiesta on IH35 for years. But I had never been inside. I remember a few years ago reading that Robert Plant liked shopping at Fiesta. So, I thought I would stop by when next in the neighborhood. I liked it! I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, so I stocked up big time. I liked the overall layout of the store, the bright and cheerful interior, and the variety of international foods it carries. I am currently hooked on Gamesa's "Barras de Coco" cracker/cookies (which are great with coffee), so I was delighted to buy a big box of them. read more
