This place in Berkeley is truly amazing. I walked in looking for some snacks (Central American) , and let me tell you--they have every flavor and variety you can imagine. I believe the shop is run by three brothers, and their humility and kindness really shine through. Every time I come in for produce, herbs, or teas, they take the time to help me find exactly what I need, and they always make sure their prices stay affordable for the community. It's beautiful to see a business rooted in culture, heart, and service right in the heart of Berkeley. I genuinely appreciate everything you do, and this is a place I will continue to support. Thank you for creating a space that feels welcoming, thoughtful, and full of love. read more

Large variety of food and items and they even have a meat section! Amazing customer service too. The cashier I spoke to was very nice. I donated to the gofundme for one of the sick cats he looks after. He feeds a colony of about 22 cats, so anything helps. read more

Mi Ranchito Bayside Market - Chips (5.38) - Grocery Near Me - Berkeley, California

See all

I took a quick look in here since it was near closing hours when I arrived. I didn't find any eggs there which was what I was looking for, but they do sell other staples like produce, meat, dairy, and canned goods. They also have some pan dulce that I assume are made in-house, they're two for $1. I was pretty satisfied with the bread and would probably come back since it's one of the cheapest places to get pan dulce that I've seen in this neighborhood. However, all their EBT card readers are currently still out of commission, so good to come prepared with cash. read more

Mi Ranchito Bayside Market - Two pieces of pan dulce I bought, it's two for $1 or $0.59 each! - Grocery Near Me - Berkeley, California

Great Customer Service! This first thing to know about this market is that the four brothers who own it are exceptionally nice and friendly and helpful. You walk in and everyone greets you. The produce section has a lot of variety and the prices are good. The meat section is surprisingly good for a smaller store with very good quality and choice. They have items from many places with a lot of things that I don't see in the bigger stores. Instead of the hassle of big stores, you walk out of this store, waving goodbye and feeling happy. read more

I have been going to Mi Ranchito since last 6 months and since then, this has been my go-to grocery-bakery-butcher store! There is hardly anything that they haven't got. Fresh variety of fruits and vegetables - Done All the possible sauces, cheese, milk, bread, spices, tacos, grains etc - Done Fresh bakery products - Done Variety of fresh meat - Done They literally have everything! Moreover, the staff is extremely helpful and welcoming! Only one con - There was one time when the box of blueberries I got had caught fungus. Now I do not know if it was there since the time I bought or it got bad in my fridge.Since then, I double check every fresh produce I buy. read more

Loved it ! As a cal college student who's hispanic, finding this little hidden treasure with so many goods was amazing! There's pan, carne, queso, mexican candies and groceries which helps in wanting to cook some traditional dishes instead of eating out. The staff were wonderful and helped us in finding all the things we were looking for and were great company ! Definitely going back since it's not that far from the Campus. read more

I bought a case of corn dogs and they look like they have already beed defrosted and refroze because they all stick together and have indents where they got defrosted. Also they are covered in white ice. Another sign it has been defrosted. Total rip off read more

I came here after a similar business up the street did not carry a specific dried soup that I frequently purchase. The clerk who was stocking product greeted me and was friendly. The store was well stocked and carried the dried soup I like. When I payed for my purchases, the same clerk thanked me, and wished me a nice day. read more

This place has the best selection of "glass jar candles" of all colors and sizes! I buy candles here all the time for my events. The customer service is great - the guys that work there are super friendly, speak great english and are very helpful when I have questions read more

I come here for the cheap vegetables, chili peppers, and the La Finca Tortillas! Mi Terra is where you go if you want to be around other white people who are into ethnic food. Mi Ranchito is where you go because you went to high school with the employees. Also %10 discount for university students read more

Went here to buy a pinata to fill with lil bottles of booze, dice, lotto tix, condoms, etc. the pinatas are pretty lame, but hey. four stars for the cashier's story about the time she filled a pinata with flour and eggs to exact revenge on someone. hilarious. take heed, those of you who not-so-secretly despise your children or friends. read more

I give this place 5 stars because they deserve it, the employees are amazing great customer service. First time I came here was with my mother years ago, she has always talked good about this place. The produce is good quality and cheap, if you go to the meat department you will see how clean the area is and the butcher is very nice as well. Sadly my mother had to move to Pinole but when we are around this area we like to stop by and buy produce and fresh meat here, I wish more places had the type of employees that work here. read more

I love coming here because the produce is cheap and definitely nothing short of ordinary. I like being able to buy two tomatoes instead of having buy a package of 4. You can also buy mushrooms individually for incredibly low price. They carry a variety of traditional mexican products including different cheeses, drinks, peppers, tortillas, and pan dulce. I love their fresh cuts of meat and their spanish labels helped me learn that "pechuga sin hueso" means boneless breasts. The butchers are always incredibly nice and inviting and I can usually get all the produce I need there for between 5-10 dollars. read more

Boing! soft drinks, queso de oaxaca, avocado leaves, fresh produce-including fresh epazote and precut nopales, prayer candles, a full butcher's counter complete with freshly made chicharrones, and even household goods such as the toilet bowl brush I purchased there shortly after I moved into my current apartment. Mi Ranchito satisfies my need for a walking-distance general store and assuages my pangs of homesickness for Mexico. It's good. read more

Great market to get Latino food staples (e.g. habichuelas, if you're from the east coast, you'll understand) and seasoning. Store employees are always super nice and helpful. So glad to have a place close by where I can pick up a can of guandules or achiote powder and have people know what I'm talking about. read more

This is one of my favorite stores in Berkeley. As others said, the produce is always fresh, high quality and they have a good variety, too. Better than Mi Tierra across the board but especially for produce. Dried chiles are available in bulk which is so nice when you need 1 or 2 each of a bunch of different kinds for a recipe. Special shoutout to the staff- they are so kind and accommodating. It's clear that they take pride in their store. You can tell Mi Ranchito is a business that is part of the community. I love coming here! read more

This is a very friendly store with very reasonable price for produce. This is a one stop groceries with fresh vegetables. I have been shopping there for the last 11 years and I highly recommend this store to others. read more

I was feeling too lazy to walk the extra ten steps to Mi Tierra, so I popped in here for a produce pick-up. The prices were decent, but they didn't have the nice vibe that Mi Tierra does. And the pears I bought were the blandest, most cardboard-tasting pears ever. They don't even deserve to be called pears. read more

The grocery prices are good. The baked goods are also very good. The butcher shop is surprisingly good. Makes you feel like you are in the barrio back home. The while taqueria operators are nice they have changed and the food variety and quality have declined. They are often out of carnitas which is strance. read more

Considering, Andronico's is across the street, I like the flexiblity that having this a couple blocks away provides me. The service here is friendly, and although the place is not exactly known for carrying fine goods, its not a bad place to buy a few things at now and again. read more

Extremely nice people work here!! Good prices on the fruits and veggies and meat. I go here specifically for tortillas, cuz they are cheaper than anywhere else, some mexican teas that the bf drinks and depending on what the fridge needs, cheese, meat and produce. read more

A smaller but clean and well-stocked all-purpose grocer. The only thing they really lack is beer. The produce is good quality for relatively cheap, and the butcher has a simple, direct presentation. The paper and plastic goods to the left, and the area by the front with the mobile accessories and other small technical thingies lets them double as a convenience store as well, which is great considering how others nearby kinda blow. What really makes these guys worth checking out compared to all the other grocers is the very friendly, attentive staff in back and in front. read more

Selection is a bit small, especially for such a large store. It is a full service grocery store, with produce, meats, and a bakery case, and you can pretty much get all you need there. We went looking specifically for Mexican/Latin American snacks and spices, etc. to give away as party favors at our wedding. We were a bit disappointed at first at the relatively small selection of stuff, but at least were still able to get enough things. read more

Such good produce and product there. The cheese and meat were a huge hit plus the baby avodacos were adorable. Made bomb tacos and guac and all of the above at such a fair affordable price. Service was also extremely helpful. Definitely the new grocery spot when I'm in the area read more

Cheaper and nicer than Mi Tierra. Cal student discount. Fresher, happier food. Cigarettes (if you are into that kind of thing) and did I mention the nicest people ever. Yes. Go there. read more

Love this market for the fruit and vegetables. Nothing special, but the prices are great, the place is clean, and the people who work there are always very nice. read more

I was in Berkley for 10 days. I spent lost of time walking 2 miles to get to this store. the produce was outstanding and I had Mexican Pastry for the first time and wow. I am trying to get hold of the baker so he may share a few tiops. read more

The service here is unmatched. I wish more places had the type of employees that work here. Everybody is always friendly and helpful. They've even opened the doors for me when I needed something after they had just closed. Other stores could take a lesson from the type of service here. read more

This has become my go-to-spot for good fruits and veggies. I use to go to another Mexican grocery store down the block, but when I discovered Mi Ranchito, I never went back to the other place. Now I buy all my fruits and veggies here, and their fruits and veggies are good quality and very affordable. read more
