    When I step into a grocery store, especially one that is so enormous from the outside, I expect to see many aisles full of pre-packaged food, drinks, healthcare products and more... But here I stepped into what seems like a mini mall; multiple small retail outlets (like a mobile phone shop and a vitamin store)... no groceries or cashiers to be seen?!?!? So, right in the middle of the large entrance and adjacent to all these retail stores are two Travelators that transport shoppers to the second floor of Mega... wondering what a Travelator is? It's an escalator without the steps and according to ELEVATOR WORLD MAGAZINE it's the wave of the future (of course they have been saying that for 15 years)... AND YES, it's a real magazine. And now it's clear, Second floor is the grocery store and they really have everything you could imagine... Well beyond food and drinks... What grocery store do you know sells scooters and mopeds right in the entrance? They have a coffee shop, they have a pharmacy where the advertise Ritalin and Viagra at a discount, they have a bakery we're fresh rolls and breads are constantly being brought out to help yourself bins, Large produce area with an excellent selection, I think I see a tent and ladder for sale too... they have everything. I came here specifically to prepare a barbecue at our condo... Easily found beer, wine, vegetables and all the other condiments we need. For main dishes we planned on grilling steaks and jumbo shrimp. This is what led to the only negative of our experience... as you approach the Butcher Department, to meet we're in reach-in coolers and ice-bin coolers but there was blood and meat slime on the floor coming from beneath a couple of the refrigeration machines... But not nearly as bad as the smell and slime on the floors near the Seafood Department. We only purchased meats and seafood from the units that didn't have a underside mess... Kinda gross... but overall it could've been worse.

    I have never been to the Yucatan until now: Shame on me for taking so long to visit this beautiful place that is only 5 hours from LA. I have been to Nuevo Vallarta, and Ensenada, but Playa del Carmen is a very unique place. We dropped by Mega on the way to our condo on the beach in Playa del Carmen. Like the name indicates, its truly a "mega" store. You can buy anything from a toothpick to a 55 inch 4K UHD TV here. The place is massive! We settled for food stuffs like freshly made tortilla chips in the tortilleria, cheeses from all types, snacks from the U.S. and Mexico, pan dulce from the panaderia, and fresh fruits. Mega also contains a coffee shop next to the panaderia to leisurely enjoy your snack. The people in the area seem to excel at lounging around - LOL. In addition, in front there is a pizza shop. Its interesting that the store is upstairs and you take an escalator down w/ your cart when you leave. However, avoid Wal Mart (just like I do in the U.S.), and get all your foodstuffs at Mega like the locals do. You won't regret it.

    This is truly a one-stop shop. A grocery store with a Wal-Mart feel, while shopping for fresh produce, dairy, pastries, etc, you can also grab any alcohol imaginable (if you're not from Mexico, I suggest trying some of their wines; they don't export too many of them and some are pretty decent) as well as shop for sports equipment and TVs. They also have some fun desserts that I haven't seen Stateside. Credit cards and cash were both fine when we were there. Be aware, some nights alcohol is unavailable for purchase after a certain hour (I think 9:00), so you might not be able to score any after then. They won't even make an exception; the cash register system actually blocks them from being scanned. Prices are great and the people friendly (including the adorable old seniors in green sweater vests bagging); definitely worth coming here!

    Mega was within walking distance to our rented condo so we stopped by quite frequently.
