    I like to come here for my Latin American products and produce. Ready To-Go Carnitas are my favorite! The service is usually good but the bakery is a little harder to track down. They usually have the self service items out but if you want a cake, you'll have to wait a little. Other than that, the store is usually stocked.

    Wings!

    I know this particular northgate isn't the biggest or has the most options but it's got easy parking and I can get tamales, Aguachile, ceviche, fresh guacamole, and the hot wings are great too!

    1st time trying the carnitas in green salsa. I love carnitas when making any Mexican food decision! Super tender, flavorful salsa broth! 9/10. I would definitely come back for more.

    Tres Leches Cake

    Love that (Northgate Market) is close to my home. The best store for authentic Mexican foods prepared or stuff to prepare at home. The bakery is totally awesome has the best Tres Leches Cake that's truly my guilty pleasure. The service is always amazing cashier are always so nice and friendly. Will definitely recommend and return soon.....

    Closest Northgate Mexican market to our home, not within walking distance. It's on the smaller side compared to other Northgates that we have been to, but it has all the necessities. They have the butcher counter where you take a number and wait in line, but they also have butchered meat in packages for quick gets. We usually stop by the two super markets closer, but neither one of them sell the Sonora style flour tortillas that I really like...Northgate does, so we stopped by during errands to pick up a package for $3.99. There were plenty of cash register lines and they had prepared foods on a hot buffet self-serve cart...the food didn't really look too appetizing.

    Taquiza taco set with fixings for less than $20... good deal!

    My go-to spots for marinated taco meat is usually Superior or Northgate market. I did not have a hankering for tacos, but my son and his fishing buddy still gotta eat. What better meal than tacos? THREE-PACK TAQUIZA TACO MEAT. You know what I'm talking about... pre-packaged in-house marinated set of beef, pork, and chicken. Enough to feed at least 8-12 people. Truth: I don't own a taquiza griddle, but that's next on my things to get this summer. I cooked this stovetop on a cast iron skillet. One type of meat at a time, and plated it separately on a long platter. PRODUCE was fresh. Seriously fresh. You know how in the Kroger chain, they have their "A" list stores like Ralph's, then they have their less quality stuff sold at "B" list stores, like Food4Less? Well, this bodega had limes that were "A" grade and will keep longer. They were young and not aged or bruised. The skin was shiny with tight pores, meaning they were juicy and ripe. Picked up a couple of these babies and Roma tomatoes. Already had onion, cilantro, and avocado at home. YELLOW CORN TORTILLAS were still warm in the bag. Tortilleria on site! Debated on flour or corn and picked the bag with the steaming warm tortillas... decided based on the amount of condensation on the packaging. COVID PRECAUTIONS in full effect here. Actually didn't realize the lady who walked in front of me entered the establishment without a facemask (still yellow tier at the time of my visit), and was quickly asked to put on a mask by an employee. PARKING was ample. Lots of parking diagonally marked in an L-shaped parking lot. This is def your one-stop taco spot for a quick pick-up meal, if you like authentic food and do not mind cooking at home.

    Marinated short ribs? Lol the attendant gave me all the worst pieces. This is what was left after cutting off all the FAT! Terrible
    Ray H.

    Ugh, i won't be coming here anymore! I mean look at the crappy meat. There was soo much fat i had to cut em off before cooking and look how much meat on the bone? Lol ridiculous. I remember when i looked at the display i saw ALOT of good cuts in the front so he must of gave me all the crappy pieces. He was a young guy working the meat dept. They are not serving any display items during covid but that's understandable. Guess i will have to find another market. Oh and the 10-15 minute waits don't help. I will stick to my mini mart by my house.

    a variety of food items

    This is my local Northgate market, the only negative thing I would say about this location is that they don't have as many products/items as the Northgate on Cherry and Del Amo. Other than that it's great.

    Great market with an emphasis on Latin American foods and products. Stopped here the other night to pick up dinner and some groceries. Their rotisserie chicken rivals that of Costco's and it's a steal for about $5. I also grabbed some buffalo wings, pupusas, blue corn tortillas and two types of salsa. Every thing was freshly made and hot, so when I got home it was dinner time! They also have a great meat counter and very fresh veggies. One item that I never find at Ralphs or Vons is fresh garbanzo beans. If you've only had the canned ones, you 're in for a treat with the fresh ones! Next time? Gotta go back for some beef tendons.

    I like to come to this market and get things out of their hot deli case The selection changes almost to frequently My favorite item is the chicken Tinga and it's great if you heat up your own tortillas at home Recently I had the tamales out of the huge pots. They were good. Not as moist as I like but decent meat portion and decent moisture for a supermarket.

It's normally taco Tuesday or dinner. It wasn't busy when we arrived. Mainly everyone was seated outside which we wanted a table as well. There was one that we were interested in and asked if we could have it which the waitress working was ok with. But it needed clearing up. It took a while for someone to come out and clear and clean the table up. It was fine waiting but it was like did someone forget about us. Anyways. We got seated and then the waiting continued. It could be that they were short staff but it seemed like there was only one person working. It took a while for someone to finally come back and acknowledge us and take our order. After that the chips and salsa were brought out. Once we ordered the drinks it was easier to place everything together. Menu for happy hour is pretty limited. A few drinks and beer on drafts and for food, maybe 6 items on the menu. Went with an order of the street corn which was quite tasty. An order of the mole chicken nachos and the queso dip with barria. Out of the three, the queso dips and the street corn were great. Nachos were good but nothing really major. The flavors of everything were quite tasty. Dishes were 12.00 an item. For happy hour, it was decent and what we had was good. The service was pretty slow at the beginning. Only the front patio and inside seating was available as the back patio wasn't open. We did start to see other staff walking in so maybe there was only one staff during the time.

    There's so many places that you see constantly and walked by numerous of time and that is that…read more This place is one of them. I've always wondered what it was all about. Seeing people going in and out which I knew it was a restaurant. Last night we started off with drinks at the speakeasy next door. The two places share restrooms and that's how I found out about this place. Let me say it was a vibe. The first thing you notice from the back, the bar area and Photo Booth. And the live DJ keeping the place on its feet. We ended up wanted to check it out as it was a full restaurant and bar. Friday night without a reservation, spoke with hostess which they could accommodate 6 of us in a bit. Still had to close out at the other place before. The restaurant has a cool vibe with the main dining area in front, bar area towards the back side and on the opposite site is where the DJ booth was. Sam was our waitress who took very good care of us. Very sweet, friendly and of course attentive. Made sure that we were well taken cared of and if anything was needed she was there. It's a cool Mexican restaurant with a cool vibe to match. The place did get lively and was pretty full. You had parties up and dancing and enjoying themselves. Anyway, food and drinks. Started off with some spicy margaritas. Wow, they were strong but good. You had to sip versus drink... lol... Bartender was not playing and in a good way. The menu is somewhat limited compared to other restaurants but what was offered all looked amazing. A modern twist to Mexican food but still with the amazing authentic flavors. Instead of a meal we opted for à la carte and shared everything. Also was informed that the dishes are like tapas and great for sharing. Chips and salsa were brought out which both the chips and salsa were excellent. An order or the aguachille which had that nice sour taste with the lime juice perfectly balanced for the shrimp and trimmings. Served with tostada. The shrimp ceviche, another wonderful dish. Nicely marinaded in the lime juice was very flavorful and also served with tostada. An order of the enchiladas, came with three but we split it for 6 of us. The cheese and filling was very good. The molcajete served in a volcanic bowl stuffed with different meat, cactus, cheese all combined to create an amazing dish full of flavors. A must have and lastly the adobado hamachi collar, yellowtail. Very tasty but did have a fishy taste. Yes it's fish but still. Quite tasty and plentiful. Overall food and vibe was great. The place was definitely lively in the evening. We can finally say we've been and tried some amazing dish. It's a place that worth coming back for more. Parking is a little crazy as residential is always packed. There's a lot across the street which they do utilize but it's can be a bit crowded as well.

Usually for brunch time on the weekend. The first time I've ever had a Tlayuada was here a while back and have always enjoyed it. I was actually craving some since it's been likely over a year since we last visited. The hubby had 2 tacos plates. The birria was very good, the asaea delicious but very rich. I've never been a fan of black beans but these were tasty. My Tlayuada hit the spot and chase it down with a Penelope. When we arrived we were the only ones there. The server was attentive and check on us throughout our visit. Engaging and friendly. The interiors are cost and warm with plants and green as the main color. Nice murals throughout.
