Very clean store! SO MUCH VARIETY!!! We went in for bolios, left with sweet bread and champurrado too! The people were helpful and kind there very efficient and the check out was so fast especially awesome for how busy it was, I was very impressed! Star moment for us was that, we asked for a horchata and the staff member tested the horchata for us first to make sure it was okay. Since they make it daily, he was not comfortable selling it to us and it was totally understandable since it was the end of the day. read more

La Reina Market on Tustin Ave. is a small neighborhood spot that's easy to find thanks to its location right on the corner of a busy street. The trade-off, though, is that parking is pretty limited, so be prepared for a tight squeeze during busier hours. The store itself is tiny, and while they do carry general groceries, the selection is limited. What does stand out is their variety of Mexican items--things you won't always find at larger chain stores. Most people seem to come here specifically for the deli, bakery, and meat counter, and honestly, that's where La Reina really shines. The pan dulce is always fresh and delicious, and their bolillos are consistently great. They also sell masa for tortillas and tamales, which is reasonably priced and convenient if you're doing any traditional cooking at home. Prices in general can be a little higher than bigger grocery chains, but considering this is a smaller operation--and the convenience of having authentic items--it makes sense. As for the staff, I've had a mix of experiences. Most employees I've dealt with have been friendly and helpful, but there have definitely been a few not-so-great interactions. They're busy, especially at the deli and meat counter, so patience is key. A tip for ordering deli/prepared foods: Look at the menu before you get to the counter and have an idea of what you want. The staff tends to move quickly and doesn't always answer detailed questions about the food, so doing your homework helps. I recommend checking Google photos, reviews, or even Yelp ahead of time so you know what you're getting into. The store can get crowded and overwhelming, and both the deli and the meat counter can get backed up. The quality of the meat is good--sometimes even a deal--though other times it can be pricier than at larger grocery stores. Overall, I do recommend La Reina Market, especially for authentic bakery items, masa, and deli foods. Just come prepared, know what you want, and bring your best patient hat! read more

I'm really sad that the quality of this place has gone down & prices have gone up since influencers started blowing up this place. This was my childhood market & I always loved the quality before. This is the second time I purchase flan & it's burnt. The bottom was inedible it was just a hard brick of bitter burnt sugar. I ate the top because I didn't want to drive all the way back to the store but I definitely won't be purchasing again in the future. read more

Excellent Food, Service and Ambience! Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend. Updated menu for breakfast.

I love their mini chicharron burritos w green sauce. Crispy pork skin, w/ meat, refried beans and salsa verde, I'm in heaven! Next time, I'm looking the menu over carefully. Might find something just as good or better. read more

Con cuidado con esta tienda aparte de que a ido varias veces ICE, me vendieron masa para tamales de piña y no tuvo nada de savor y fui a reclamar y me dijieron que tenia que probarla en donde va a ser eso probar la masa y si no me gusta la regreso para que la venda ya probada con el dedo metido no es sentido comun read more

The marinated boneless and skinless chicken legs are the best and is a great deal for under $3/lb. Let them do the heavy lifting, save yourself some time and come to La Reina for your marinated meats. read more

Catering orders are always hot and fresh and well priced. Great asada, chicken, carnitas.

99c bolillos! Seriously, 99c EACH! I feel so ripped off shopping here, $6 for El Ranchero Queso Fresco that is $4 at EVERY grocery store!!! I will never be back, I should have gone to El Molino De Oro across the street. read more

This will be a "on the fence" review. Food was average. The atmosphere is very lively. Hard to describe being in this place not being a Spanish speaker. Very difficult for them to understand your English and the wall menu isn't exactly English speaker friendly. The lines and crowd is not organized, and ppl slip in and out of line to make you wonder if ppl are cutting in line or not. Overall, the experience sucks and definitely can be frustrating. The men who take your order has to learn a little English to survive, otherwise, go somewhere else if you are not a Spanish speaker. read more

Every year I look forward during Easter When La Reyna makes capirotada dessert, I finally got the chance this year and all I found it was already pre-pack and ready to go, ( I usually get it from the counter) I was so exited it look darker and way wetter than before, I was so disappointed, I try eating it but it was disgusting. Please if you have product left because you didn't sell all of it don't try selling it unless it has the quality of a fresh product. read more

Excellent Customer Service!!! Karla and Don Sergio went above and beyond to help me and did it with smiles on their faces the entire time! I had a lot of questions and they both took the time to help me. The masa was amazing, the salsas are delicious! The quality of the stores products are a great quality. Karla and Don Sergio are exactly the people who you want working in your store. I'd also like to thank the gentlemen working at the meat counter, super nice guy! I came all the way to this store because I was treated HORRIBLY at the ANAHEIM store when I went to buy masa. It was so bad I would never go back to that store and I have warned my family and friends about the horrible way I was treated by the woman at the masa counter and the woman at the bakery counter. I told the manager at check out, but she was gossiping with the other clerk so she didn't really care. The Orange store will definitely be my go-to from now on. THANK YOU TO KARLA & DON SERGIO you are both truly appreciated! read more

I stumbled upon this place just cruising around I noticed the queens name so I had to drop by and see what's good. To my amazement one of the best self sufficient market that produces Many things in house This is the one stop shop meats cheese bread taqueria , Large variety and fresh I love how every department I went to a peer spoke perfect English and was very friendly approachable. Let's start off with the rice and beans The rice itself 5/5 cooked in this tomato paste topped with peas and came out really good. The beans I got refried 4/5 I should have gotten black. The carne asada plate I was not expecting all that meat And even came with 5 of the in-house tortillas . Served hot or cold . Legit check ! I have never been asked before tortillas hot or cold until now. Best tip is to order the plates because they should be charging 14.99 and up . Super authentic and super good food. Please come up to the Bay Area and open one read more

Great market with an abundance of merchandise! The pan dulce is fresh, made throughout the day, with a large variety of selection!

Big store! With a "cafeteria " style cafe on other side of store. Great food made to order. Staff was very nice and helpful! Also bought some pan dulce. Very good!! It is a "tight" store- but as long as you don't mind a little crowding definitely worth visiting. We will be back on the regular! read more

I have been coming here for years! This market has been a staple in the City of Orange forever. The Pan Dulce is 10/10 and I always load up my plate. I also really like the Chicharron that they sell by the pound. The Mexican food that they sell in the back is pretty solid too. A lot of good drink selections and just random snacks. I also like to buy my Cafe de Olla ingredients here like Piloncilo, Canela, and Cloves. The lines go pretty quick, they are good at getting people out of the door when it's time to pay. Check it out read more

Great service quality food. Best Mexican meat market around totally worth the drive for our house hold

I love coming here even though it is small it they make great bread. I mostly come here for the bread. On occasions I come to buy some meat/food but it is delicious. The cashiers are fast unless they are still training even so it's nice and fast. Right now I am preparing to get La rosca de reyes. They run out quickly so im heading there extra early. 10/10 Market. read more

Friendly people from cashiers to the bakery employees food smells good next time I'll try the sopes. The conchas are fun to look at and are bomb to eat. read more

The staff was friendly & had good recommendations for chicken and carne asada for me to use for my tacos. The fish ceviche was delicious. The sauces and pico de Gallo was all really good. I loved the salsa macha. It's super spicy. The chicken I purchased for my tacos was juicy and flavorful. It was absolutely one of the best I had. Carne asada was ok but didn't shine as much as the chicken. read more

Love this place the bread is always fresh especially the bolio and the sweet bread. Parking is always tuff since it's very limited parking. Careful if you park at BofA the security guard will tow your car. Overall a 5 star. read more

I started going there during summer to get ceviche. It's absolutely delicious. Just went in today to try their tamales. I thought it was good. Yes, there is not that much meat in them but from my taste it was plenty. That green sauce on the chicken tamale was absolutely delicious. It definitely has a kick but not too much. The masa was good too read more

What took me so long. Deliciousness on every corner within this market. Their Carne Asada from the meat counter is heavenly. The Bakery is a wonderland of deliciousness too. Many unique grocery items and spices that are interesting. Highly recommend! read more

I love this place. I don't buy a lot, but their pastries are great and they're making them constantly!z You'd be hard pressed to find any pastries that aren't freshly made here, except of course close to closing, obviously! Also, the fish and shrimp ceviche is ABSOLUTELY DEVINE. Yummm! Get it at the meat counter. Delicious plain or topped on chips! read more

Perfect for your carne asada! Friendly staff members and delicious to go food, but don't forget your Mexican bread and tortillas

Though pricey, the carne asada is really good. Their pan dulce is top tier for OC even though the prices are border line crazy.

This "hole in the wall" Mexican market is and will always be a part of the community of Orange and is on my list of places I frequently visit. The only downside about this place is that the parking can suck at times, but if you're patient it is work it. From the moment you walk in, you see all their choices of meet ranging from basic carne asada all the way to wagyu. Turn a quick left and then you are in the world of every fresh Mexican bread you can want. If you come here, don't be shy. Just load of a large pizza size tray with tons of different breads and you wont be surprised. Additionally they even have a small little area where you can order some amazing food to go. I highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

I came here after being rudely mistreated at la spiga de oro market down the street. This market was abiding by the social distancing rule and only allowing certain amount of customers to enter at a time. They allowed me to shop here with my cloth mask on and did not require a surgical mask. Their bread is so fresh and delicious and I will continue to give them my money and support. Places like this are the the little gems you find in the city. Do yourself a favor and try some of their fresh bread! It's delicious and it comes with great customer service! read more

The food is just ok, it was served kinda warm. It definitely doesn't seem fresh or of good quality, the meat was hard and chewy. The food prices are high, the line moves slow, parking is difficult and everyone in the place wheres plastic gloves, except for the people making/handling the food??? read more

Amazing little Mexican restaurant for all the goods! They have Wagyu as well! The Mexican bread is the best in town. All the staff is respectful, knowledgeable, and welcoming. The parking isn't the best, but you can park next door and walk if able. read more
