The parking lot is small!! You'll need patience! However in the summer months there's a vendor outside that has fresh sugar cane juice! Inside its cramp but I come here to get my staples that I can only find in a Latino market at a good price. My family loves the fresh concha buns and pastries. They have a small hot bar. If your lucky they have delicious Columbian empanadas. They sell tamales and soups. Also, in the health and beauty aisles, they carry Dominican hair products that definitely help with spilt ends and growth. Cheaper than beauty supply stores The employees are nice, but avoid weekend! read more

I appreciate the new location but it still feels too small. The store is extremely packed. If you bring a backpack, be ready to leave it at the entrance, next to the security guard. On weekends they have food for purchase outside, you can also purchase ready to eat meals inside. The prices for eggs were ridiculous $15! I went to Costco and got the same for $8. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is because I can get my frozen Latin products here as well as some dry goods and canned food. read more

Everyone is so nice and caring. Some of the patients are chatty, but who isn't when they just want to go back home? PT was professional and very reliable. The front office staff are all amazing and so kind. The supervisors are knowledgeable and attentive to the patients; belongings are tracked and loved immediately. Thank you for helping my father improve and for letting me make progress in recovery. read more

Unfortunately the staff does not speak English so it is difficult to communicate. I bought short ribs that spoiled rather quickly. They would not refund my money. There was no manager to speak to. The non English speaking staff were rude and pretty much accusing me of lying. I was a loyal customer. In this Country the Customer is usually always right. The last staff person that I spoke to, stated, "we don't sell rotten food". Well apparently they do. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

If cero starts becoming available, I'll rate it. Their cashier are dishonest and charge me doble for the same transaction on December 19 at 5:20 PM 2023. When I called them, they just put me on hold only to disconnect my call after that, I did several calls when finally I was off from work, and I went to this place the only person who can fix my refund the store manager Marisol was extremely busy, her assistant was calling her on the phone, basically she told me she was busy! So mine time it wasn't important to them. Make an appointment with the Maryland gobernador is an easy task compared to having a minute face to face with Marisol, even after showing there my receipt and my bank account statement! Never, I'll spend another dollar at this grocery store. read more

Let me preface this review with saying I am of Spanish heritage. I've been to the Mega in Rockville. Coming to this other location reminded me why I don't shop at the mega and prefer other supermarkets. I have family coming from out of town. So I needed to make some empanadas and pernil. That calls for some good homemade sofrito. But of course Mega is one of the few places that I know of that carries specialty peppers and culantro (not cilantro). Which are needed to make authentic Puerto Rican sofrito. So I walk into this Gaithersburg location. First thing off the bat is a horrific stench. I have no idea what the smell was. I looked around and everything looked clean. It was so potent that it almost made me vomit. I had to literally hold my breath just long enough so I can make it to the produce section. And long enough to find the peppers and culantro that I needed. That was only the first battle!! The second factor was how on earth am I reaching such items?? There was massive amounts of people. It's like the entire Spanish community has nothing better to do but be at the MEGA at the same time. It's like elbow to elbow walking down the isles. It almost reminded me of being in a NYC train that's jammed packed at 6am and you got someone's armpit in your face. I finally made it to the culantro after dodging several carts in the small aisles and people jammed packed everywhere. Not to mention they have to bring all these kids that have to be running around aimlessly. Anyway, now I need to reach the freezer section to find the Goya discos to make empanadas. That was another adventure in itself. Once you make it out alive from the produce section you must try to find your way past the butcher line that's ridiculously long. And again with more people and carts in a small corridor. Total insanity. I was having major anxiety by this point!!! All I could feel/fear was Covid waiting to happen as I continued to hold my breath. Finally reached the Goya products. The last battle was now waiting on the super long lines. That stretch aimlessly with no real coordination in all shapes and sizes. It took about 25 minutes for this entire ordeal. Where at local Whole Foods or giant I would have been out in 5 min. I made out alive. Thank god! But never again. Also, I found their prices for general peppers like the green and red peppers super expensive by the pound in comparison to Giant, Trader Joe's or even Harris Teeter. They advertise savings but I really didn't see it to be honest. I hope I don't have to go back there anytime soon! If someone can tell me where to find culantro elsewhere will be appreciated. read more

Can't help but like this place. No frills Latina Supermarket for all the things I cannot find elsewhere. I loved going to the back to get the cuts of meat I can't find at Whole Foods or Giant, like for carne asada or al pastor. Everything is super reasonably priced. One time I spent a $133 and the lady said I could grab a free liter of soda . Thank you! read more

If you are in search of Latin Foods or Latin Ingredients, this is the place for you. This is one of the biggest Latin markets I've been to in the area and one of the cleanest. I originally stumbled into this market sometime ago when I was searching for that stick to beat a pinata with; which luckily my limited Spanish vocabulary along with gesturing was able to describe to the store worker. I found it! And not only that, there was also like hundreds of pinatas hanging from the ceiling at that time too. In any event, prices are very reasonable. There is a butcher in the back of the store. And each time I've been in, the cashiers are very friendly. They are smiling and ready to help. Can't fault this store much. The cheese selection is pretty limited. I've never seen so much queso blanco in my entire life. Can't fault this store on much. Wish it had some fresh seafood.... but other than that. Pretty solid locale. I wish I knew how to cook more traditional latin cuisine, but looking forward to looking around more when I have more time. I was just in there to pick up Latin Candies that time :) Which are super cheap btw! read more

ZERO STARS !!!!!!!! Horrible place, smells like rotting food. I walked around and left, I would be afraid to buy anything there and feed to my family . I had questions about where things were, it was my first time- no one knew ANYTING ! I went because I had called looking for a particular product, manager told me they had it. WRONG- don't carry it. Nightmare. Shop ANYWHERE ELSE !!!! read more

very clean and organized but it needs a bigger parking lot good prices and many thing from latin america.,

My papa who went to buy carne for 1 lbs but they give us like three small pieces that wasn't enough for 1 lbs for $6 and this is the the first time this always happen when we going to buy meats and it so frustrating that they didn't give us the exact amount we asked and they charge us so much that this was enough Mi papá, que fue a comprar carne por una libras pero nos dan como tres trozos pequeños que no eran suficientes para 1 libras por 6 $ y esta es la primera vez que siempre pasa cuando vamos a comprar carnes y es tan frustrante que no nos dieron la cantidad exacta que pedimos y nos cobran tanto que esto fue suficiente read more

Nice and clean, just to high of prices for something that I have found cheaper at Walmart

This is one busy place, even around 7:00 pm. I was going to buy some fruit, but there were so many shoppers in the produce aisle. I grabbed a Mexican coke ($1.09) and headed for the checkout. It's not the cleanest store, but it sells Latino items you can't find at the popular chain stores. Plus, it's cheaper. It's worth stopping in if you are in the area, plus Mega Bakery is also in this plaza if you crave cheap Latin treats. read more

Do not buy the food here, when I came into the store to buy my snacks I was immediately hit with a lot of options of snacks. I ended up settling with Pringle's, Gadrade, and a sweet desert (cookie type of food I do not know the name). But I did not end up eating the items until I got home. The Gadrade was fine and also the Pringles were too but when I got to the Sweet (I have never eaten this sweet before) it tasted weird, I ended up eating a couple of them and there were two left. For the last two I look on the back and I see mold. I am beyond mad. Lazy workers. Who knows what other t foods they have neglected. read more

Why this store charges 0.15 not 0.05 per plastic bag? MOCO residents pay 0.05 per plastic bag. Woman at the register got pissed and rude when I asked the question. read more

Came on a Sunday in the early evening and wow this place is super busy. Both the parking lot and store were jammed pack. As other Yelpers have mentioned, if you don't need a cart, opt for a basket instead. With so many people inside, maneuvering with a cart would be extremely difficult. If that wasn't enough, the aisles are pretty small. You'll find yourself saying "excuse me" several times throughout your visit. Definitely have some patience while you are here! Produce is fresh and prices are comparable to Asian markets in the area. They offer your typical meats, plus ones already seasoned/marinated for making steaks and burritos. The meat counter is in the back of the store and the line is very long. However, it moves rather quickly. They have fresh chicharron which is a huge plus for me. Aisles (I think there were three) were packed with items from various Hispanic countries. Your typical grocery store items could be found here as well, but more than likely cheaper elsewhere. Checkout lines were once again long and stretched into each aisle. Trying to stand behind individuals without a cart full of items is difficult. Cashiers are friendly, but assume you speak Spanish. read more

Swing buy MegaMart today for some Carne. I got discouraged and left because there were droves of people coming and going. Just imagine if it was a typical Saturday in January. Except it's not, today is March 28. Nearly every store in the country metering how many people are allowed in, there are no marking on the floor at any register or at the meat counter. Horrifying. Sorry MegaMart, but you need to clean up your act, your store is now a vector for COVID-19. read more

Ok place to pick up fresh veggies and Hispanic spices... Meat ok too... Overcrowded.... Don't get cart unless you have to... Cumbia playing or something usually... Bakery next door is good.... Not my 1st choice because of mentioned above... read more

The cashiers are too annoying.... Rude and uncomfortable... They need to learn a good customer services. Son muy agresivas las cajeras... Necesitan aprender servicio al cliente... Muy mala la atencion. Se burlan de la gente, gritan, trata mal... read more

An amusing mercado (that's market, my fellow gringo). Most items in stock are decidedly Salvadorian or Peruvian...not really Mexican, but I believe they were playing Tejano music. We came because my Texan husband intends to torture his coworkers by bringing a Frito Pie to a pot luck, and I am in desperate need of decent tortillas. They did carry Mission Tortillas (yuck!), so I'm not sure how good the tortillas they carry are...but I'm too lazy to make them from scratch. As to be expected, they do have cheap produce and cheap spices. They also have queso fresco, a butchery, and other random odds and ends. read more

This place was funny! I can say that because I'm from Colombia and this seems how grocery stores would be in Colombia, like in the city, well an unorganized city, lol. My experience could have been because of the day I went (It was a Sunday, on Mothers Day), but apparently it's just as busy all the time. In my case, as soon as we walked in, there was a Mariachi band rockin it out and daaaaiiuuuummm was it busy. (NOTE TO SELF: If you don't need a cart don't take a cart, just adds trouble). They definitely have a lot fresh produce cheaper and all the latin spices you need, but it's so freakin crowded and disorganized that it just makes it insane!!! I can't say I'll be returning anytime soon and unless I'm bored as hell and have 3 hours to spare..and need a laugh or practice on my patience. A self-help day I guess. read more

Horrible place. Guys working at produce have no education, I heard them talking trash while trying to get cucumbers... my advise for the owner will be to ask the employees to have a professional attitude, respect for customers when inside the store. Please ask them watch their language, remember you guys have a paycheck because of customers. Also, they need a carpet inside the store by the entrance so people won't slipped when floor is wet. read more

I love this place. They have fresh fruits and veggies all the time. The only down side is that it is always super busy . This place is packed , parking lot is full and inside you can barely walk with you shopping cart . Long line to ask for meats. But I see why it's so busy . They sell everything you could possibly need . Condiments, fresh meats, seafood,fresh cheese , cleaning supplies and more. Weekdays are less busy , everyone goes grocery shopping in the weekends. Try 1st few days of the week insted of the end of the week. Over all it's the one store where we can find everything we need in one trip. No second trip since the bakery is right next door. read more

I am Latina so let me tell u this place might be small and raggedy but it has everything I miss from my country is amazing how things change thru out the years like 10 years ago we could bearly find latino food now is hard to miss it...I can find it all here. Yup its not giant or safeway thank God its not ;) read more

I came here looking for tamarinds for tamarind sauce. I make fresh rice paper rolls with thinly sliced jicama mango cilantro red onions lime juice garlic straw mushrooms cucumbers carrots. Dipped in peanut sauces. Chili pepper sauces. Tamarind-cilantro sauce that Cheesecake factory used to serve with their deep fried avacado eggrolls. So over the years I've started to pick up more and more. The meats and seafood are cheaper and daily fresh like H-mart. The produce dairy and stock items are great. Stuff you can only get fresh at specialty stores like this. They are always packed crowded. Could be tidier and bigger and they are improving as they become more and more sucessfulI every year. And for $25 -$50 savings a trip I don't mind putting up with a little hustle and bustle once in a while. Even our Burtonsville Giant is a nightmare to get thru on any evening after work. And I typically walk out with a $50 bill which would be $75 from H-mart and $100 from Giant. Every week that adds up. They take really good care of all their customers, employees and community in many extremely generous amazing ways. 8 locations and growing for many reasons ! Maybe I will try making Burmese tonight- 4 Noodle salad or thai green papaya salad ? ...While I am picking up my daughters coconut water, avacados, mango juice, limes (I wonder where she picked up all these eating habits !) Rice, beans, cheese and tortillas! read more
