Every neighborhood deserves a bodega like this. As you enter, you can enjoy the music over the loud speakers. It sets the mood, for sure. This store is small but mighty. It is so densely packed with all the products imaginable. You can probably get what you need here or find a very comparable substitute. Produce dept. Check. Meat dept. Check. Dry goods. Check Dairy. Check. Check. Check. Check. Meat and produce look fresh and ready for some home-cooking. Parking shouldn't be a problem. Or just walk on by this neighborhood bodega and support small businesses. read more

Good service Good meat Good price Everything is perfect And cleaned I love this market read more

Bad service at the meat counter, meat clerks do not change cloves when handling other meats and they respond rudely if you tell them anything about changing gloves. I would not recommend this place if you value your health. read more

We came here for the smash burger, surprised that the business was co shared with uncle Pete's. Smash burgers at LaBodega definitely worth the visit. Simple but tasty, menus is simple as well. The chili cheese fries delicious. You be the judge... Ethan thank you and your staff they were all awesome read more

The reason I give La Bodega five stars is because Omar has acknowledged his mistake and has written an apology letter. See attachment. Hello everyone Omar from la Bodega send me an apology letter by email for the community, and after talking to him I understood that Yes He made such a horrible mistake we might think that he was trying to take advantage of the situation but after I spoke to Omar I honestly think he had good intentions he was more than happy to write a letter to the community explaining the situation. This letter of apology should be accepted I believe his actions were justified, and understanding. This is the time to start learning how we can be a little more compassionate He is probably just an imperfect human being who makes mistakes just like everyone else, and will hopefully turn this into a learning experience. Let's all show some compassion for others as you would for yourself. I as a member of this community accept this letter as a sincere apology and acknowledgement of an honest mistake. Let's use this moment to be kind. read more

La Bodega - Apology Letter from La Bodega - Grocery Near Me - Westminster, California

Went to la bodega to get some taco meat, because I can't afford the carne asada at 14.99 a pound. Got three pounds of taco meat At 5.99 a pound. Came home, threw some meat in the pan, and cooked it up. Nothing but fat and gristle. Tried to eat the meat, but gave up. The meat i had cooked when into the trash, and also the meat that was still in the refrigerator. Right into the trash. When i make a mistake, i deal with the mistake. Right into the trash can. Never again will i set foot inside la bodega. Should have went to costco for my meat!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Honestly, I don't get all the backlash La Bodega is getting. It's a great local market! I have been shopping here for all my groceries (e.g., produce, poultry, snacks) since I moved to the area for work in the Fall. It's a small store, but they always have what I need and/or are willing to help me order it so that it's available the next time I come in. These are genuine people. The negative comments they're getting aren't right. Yes, we are in a global pandemic. Have you all not seen that prices are rising everywhere? Because La Bodega is a small chain, they order their products from larger manufacturers that are ALSO raising their prices. To keep their store afloat and to pay their workers, they, too, have to raise their prices. This isn't some scam on customers - this is sadly the way life is right now for EVERYONE. Additionally, how do you know they're buying from Costco and then reselling at a higher price? I've seen this same line of TP and paper towels at other grocery stores and convenience stores. It's a generic brand - stop making assumptions and demonizing good people! I will continue to support this store both during the pandemic and after. Now is really not a time to criticize. We're all just trying to get through this together. read more

La Bodega - fully stocked, always! - Grocery Near Me - Westminster, California

I use to love this store for their meats. I used to recommend it to all my friends and family as the "go to" spot in our area. However the last 3 times I went, (gave them a few tries hoping it was an off day) the meat has been beyond salty. It seems as if they changed the way they marinate it. Also, when I got home and started grilling the beef ribs I noticed there was plastic melting on the meat. It seems that instead of taking the ribs out of the plastic before they cut them into thin slices, they just did it with the plastic still on. So there was plastic all over the ribs. Luckily I noticed them on the first batch so I was able to salvage half the bag. However it was still way too salty. read more

Shame on them for price gouging. They are trying to make a huge profit due to a health crisis. Do not give them any money read more

Price Gougers here...beware.... They want to make ends meet by Ripping off people....14.99 + tax for a six pack of toilet paper....please...he should have sold it at that price to his family read more

I made a purchase of $28.90 at the store on 10/6/23 at 20:06 using a Vanilla Gift Card. The swipe function was not working, so the woman working the cashier entered the card information manually and the purchase went through. Since that day, I have not attempted to use the gift card until this morning when I found out that the remaining $71.10 had been stolen used to make a purchase on 10/10/23 at a Target in Pico Riveria, CA. This cashier was the ONLY person who had access to this card information and took advantage. Shame on this employee for stealing what was given as a gift. I will not be back to purchase any items at this bodega and I hope the owners and managers do a better job vetting their employees. I do NOT recommend visiting this store. read more

Always my go to! From soap to groceries to money orders Reliable place and very consistent They work hard and I hate to see them get chewed out like they're the ones that make the prices The fact that people only go out of their way to write negative reviews when something goes wrong or makes a mistake but ignore the hundreds of times that a store did things right only goes to show how ignorant society has become... read more

Awesome place! They have a great selection of produce. It's always fresh and whenever they don't have something I want, the manager always helps and asks what it is that I'm looking for and orders it. Been coming here for a while now and the customer service fantastic. Love supporting local store like this one! read more

La Bodega - The produce section looking great! - Grocery Near Me - Westminster, California

The carneceria here is always top notch. The marinade they use for the carne asada is my favorite. They always have fair prices on their meat and chicken. The butchers always have a smile on and I feel welcomed when I come in! The salsas and cremas they have here go great with the meats too. Great customer service and if I need to make an order for a lot of meat, I can always call in a couple days ahead and they'll save it on the side. I love this place, definitely stop by for your bbq needs! read more

My family and I loved to come here since they opened to get different items. My wife has been going by herself over the last few weeks. Each time the younger Arab guy that works there has gone outside and waited for her but stopped short of talking to my wife. Tonight he again waited outside for her to exit and asked her if she was married despite her visible ring. He apologized and went back inside. This is creepy and unprofessional. Sad a guy acts like this with customers. Lost our business! read more

Stopped by for the first time to get tacos ingredients, and i'll keep coming back for the Al Pastor meat! It's perfectly seasoned and tastes very fresh. It's a small space but definitely worth checking out read more

I just went to your market and saw how much you were price gouging the toilet paper!!!! $15.00 for a six pack of toilet paper and $8 for paper towels the Costco brand. Your going to Costco and buying 48 rolls that cost about $15 and over charging your customers in time of need. Especially since some people might not be working, or seniors that are already are in a tight budget. Just for you to make profit. I hope you can live with your self for taking advantage of people in this time of need. read more

Great little market. During this pandemic, I appreciate how safe I felt upon entering. They only allow 10 people to enter at a time. A few patrons that entered after me were immediately told that masks were required, even for the children. I always come here for chorizo!! Meats are always fresh! read more

La Bodega Ranch Market - Westminster, CA For the serious taco lover! I recently moved to Westminster and discovered this awesome hispanic market that not only sells local fresh fruits and vegetables, but has several butchers that prepare a variety of marinated and non marinated meats from pork to beef. If your a serious taco lover you have got to stop here on a Saturday or Sunday and treat yourself to the carnitas they cook on site. The carnitas are a bit pricey at 6.99 per pound but it is so worth it. Ask for a sample, don't be shy. Just grab a pound or two along with fresh produce and you got lunch or dinner without breaking a sweat. Spend $25 or more and you'll get a free 16oz container of red or green salas that is also made onsite. Now as a half latina i can say its sooooooo good like my mama used to make.. Check it out and don't hesitate to ask the guys for a sample. read more

Great customer service every time. Love the guacamole and love the ranchera meat for the carne asada. Greatly recommend this store

Best place to find Nopales (fresh cactus pads) for feeding an African Sulcata Tortoise. Also found here are squash blossoms and other exotic fruit and veggies, many of which tortoises love. Love this place. Very friendly, colorful and authentic. read more

I've been going here for years!! Top notch service with incredible prices! Love these guys!

My go to spot for just about anything Mexican food. Whether it's meat for grilling, fresh carnitas on the weekend or produce. Very good...

Ok. Ive been going to this little market(owned by questionable people), for about 5 years. Never a problem, until today. I bought a flat of eggs 4.79 and a tub of salsa 3.+, should total to 8+change(no tax allowed on foods). But NO, the receipt totaled to 13+change. I point it out to the clerk, I get a blank face and a "omg!?". I ask her to please recalculate, back out the transaction and redo the transaction. She comes back with cash? I say to her politely "I dont want cash, cause that still shows a sale, please back it out(reverse the mistake)". Clerk gets the Big Guns with the ghetto nails, cause Clerk cant speak english does not know how to communicate my request to Big Guns. Big Guns proceeds to ask why I dont want cash. Really? Seriously? Again I ask for them to back out the transaction and do it right, with a sharper tone of voice(dont make me look stupid, just I got gray hair). Also added "Did I say I was an attorney, dont make go legal on you". Just then the crowd of about 6 backed away, cleared the path, took out their phones(so funny). By the way Big Guns finally got it and did the reverse transaction. Double Charging Is Agains The Law!!!!! Buyers be ware, read your receipts from this place. Oh and FYI my comments here are not slander, its factual!!! 1, for double charging, 2, for have the audacity to think they could fool a gray haired Grama, 3, for the potential of them doing this dastardly trick on others, 4, lack of empathy, no apology. Their sh__ does not stink, is their attitude. read more

Went to el rancho but it was closed. I decided to go to north gate but I passed by la bodega and made a u turn. Best u turn I ever made!!!!! I have to say with all the ingredient I got from here versus all the other times I went to el rancho or north gate, these were the best carne asada tacos I've ever made!!!! Friendly employees and very very clean place!!! Definitely will recommend over any other place!!!! read more

Very rude people work there. My wife likes going there for asada and chicken and the jackass behind the meat counter was very disrespectful. I will be sure the let my friends know it's time for a new location. read more

I love this market, the produce here are cheap but sometimes you get what you pay for. The cashier's here I love, they are great people and very helpful. The prepped Chicken is of the hook. The prepped carne asada use to be amazing but now it has no flavor and it's too pricey. They butchers are very helpful but it can be a little better. The old butcher that was there before I think his name was Hector, he made that carne asada taste like heaven. These new butcher can't prep asada at all. read more

I'd give it a zero if it was an option bitch in the little service room was giving my mom poor service my mom had wanted to send money to someone and she couldn't help my mom out but was already giving that energy that she didn't have time for my mom even tho that's her job lmao then my mom walked away to get more information in her phone & my mom had went back interrupted her while she was helping customers and couldn't tell my mom she'd help her out nicely after instead she proceeds to give my mom her bitch tone and my mom patiently waited and the cashier had told me I can't be in there without a mask tell me why the bitch that was gonna help my mom didn't have a mask . Yes she was in the little ass room but there was still a peak of hole for her breathing to come out and she even looked at me as I was getting told that like oh shit cuz she knew she didn't have one stupid ass bitch lucky I didn't snatch your shit watch yourself hoe you know who you are read more

Great place, easy in easy out. They have everything you need for a quick diner. Not too pricey & everyone is friendly and helpful
