    Breakfast Torta
    Karen D.

    I love this Northgate. They have friendly staff and fresh produce and meats. I love getting tortas from here and their baked goods are amazing as well

    I have to say, out of all the Northgate locations I've visited, this one is top tier. The only thing it's missing is the margarita bar like the one at the Costa Mesa location. That said, the butchery and seafood sections consistently have some of the freshest cuts and the most helpful attendants. The produce selection is also outstanding, both high quality and expansive. On top of that, the staff here is always kind and welcoming. This evening, though, Sipriana A. at the food section is what really inspired me to leave this review. After a long work week and a very lazy Friday night, she made some tacos for me and the smell alone was phenomenal. The tripas tacos were top notch, and I'm very picky about them. I like them a little crispy, and these were exactly right. Beyond the great food, Sipriana herself was a total vibe. After a long week, her energy was such a mood booster. I hope she gets a shoutout from her employer because that kind of positivity and customer service really stands out.

    When I'm around the area, I like to stop by for lunch in this market. It's clean and their selection of lunch is nice. They have tortas, sushi, burritos, tacos, made to order. Service is on point , they are very friendly. They have different lunch special mon- fri. Lunch+drink for $11 + tax , what a deal. They also have a bakery, avocado in house made, and many hot lunch selections, priced by the pound. Awesome place , parking lot does get crowded

    Mold is all over the cupcakes and packaging.

    The food is completely uncared for, they do not stored their products properly or review their stock before selling. The service was not satisfactory and felt rushed. They did not provide a hotline to make a more detailed report even though this is a very serious matter considering it was consumed by me and my family. The store did not respond with concerns or worry, they moved passed it like nothing and did not seem to care for my side of the story.

    Will forever love northgate for its convenience if you're looking for groceries, but food, ceviche, bakery, agua frescas and more. I recently went to this location and saw they sold shoes and some clothing. The store is always clean and there's a large parking lot.

    Hot food needs to be fresh. It's dry and a fish taste not fresh. If I can I would give it a 0 star review

    Carne Asada Torta and Passion Fruit Agua Fresca.
    Heidi O.

    Great Mexican Market! But they have everything a traditional market has and more! This is my go to when I make traditional dishes like tamales, enchiladas, carne asada, etc. I used to go to multiple places to get the best ingredients but now I can get everything here. I also love that they have a hot bar, bakery, fresh cheese, fresh tortillas, great butcher, and rotisserie style chicken and carnitas. Sometimes we go there just for the Tortas and the Agua fresca, all the flavors are great but my new favorite is passion fruit.

    This Northgate Market is a one stop shop for all our Latin cuisine grocery needs. Avocados, Tamales, Meat, Tres Leches, etc. are what I purchase on my way back home from work. Location is super convenient for me. Aisles are clear. Lot of checkout counters! Meat line moves pretty fast! For great deals and an efficient shopping experience, I definitely recommend this store!

    Do they sell masa for tamales?

    As far as I know, they do, since it's an Hispanic market.

    How are the fresh flour tortillas by the dozen?

    Yes!

    Are the tamales any good? Are they made and sold daily? Or is it just a seasonal or one day a week thing? I was thinking of buying some.

    I think they're pretty good and they make them daily. They have a self serve station to pick your own. They have a big selection (chicken, pork, beef, cheese, and sweet (pineapple?)). I do feel that the ones from the La Habra location were better… 

    Do they still have Guacamole lady at the front of the store? Homemade & worth the five pounds you will gain!

    Yes!!

    This is my neighborhood Grocery Outlet, and I usually stop by to grab a few quick items since it's…read morethe closest store to my home. I typically do my full grocery shopping elsewhere, but whenever I come in, I always check out the healthy section (NOSH) for good finds and deals--and I never skip the wine section. Seriously, don't sleep on their wines. They have a great selection at prices way lower than places like Total Wine or BevMo. But anyway... I stopped by recently and honestly thought they were going out of business. Everything was rearranged, and some shelves were completely bare. There were signs posted throughout the aisles directing you where to find items, but it made it confusing. I usually like to be in and out, and this made that nearly impossible. It was just too much, so I ended up leaving. I'll come back once they're done rearranging the store.

    Customer service needs some big improvement! Visited the store and after waiting in a long line…read moreanother cashier showed up. He didn't say anything just made eye contact and pointed his finger for me to go to register. I said thank you and once again he didn't say anything. Perhaps it was because he had his ear pod in his ear. Is this what we're allowing now? Please remind employees that they are working in customer service. It's sad because many young adults don't seem to know how to communicate or be in social situations. I highly recommend doing more trainings for your employees.

More than I've ever seen in a grocery store. Definitely come here to get flowers. Maybe it's just for Moms day weekend but it is quite impressive. We found a really nice rose arrangement in a pretty vase for only $29.99.

    0 STARS -- EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM A MANAGER…read more I have lived next door to this Ralphs and have been a customer for approximately five years. This store is literally right next door to my home, and for years I regularly patronized this location without having any significant issues--until dealing with a manager named Cisco. I had an incident with Cisco last year where I felt he unnecessarily involved himself in a conversation I was having with another customer and escalated the situation. I made complaints about that incident previously. Since then, I have largely avoided this store because I do not want to have any interaction with him. It is unfortunate that a store located right next to my home has become a place I feel uncomfortable shopping because of one employee. Tonight, I went into the store simply to purchase my items and leave. I noticed the self-checkout area was not open as it normally has been at that time. Another employee was trying to assist me and went to ask whether the self-checkout could be opened. When the employee came back and said it could not be opened, Cisco came over. I explained that I was simply trying to check myself out and specifically asked him, politely, if he could open the self-checkout. I even acknowledged that we have had issues in the past and that I was trying to avoid any interaction with him. Instead of simply responding professionally, he focused on the fact that I had said "please," repeating it back to me in a way that I perceived as mocking and antagonistic. I told him that I had already asked politely. His response was essentially that he was not going to do it. At that point, this was no longer about whether a self-checkout was available. It was about how a manager chose to interact with a customer. I was attempting to avoid confrontation and simply make my purchase. I should not have to feel like I am being antagonized by a manager when I am trying to shop at a store I have patronized for approximately five years. When I left the store, security and police became involved. This was extremely upsetting and completely unnecessary from my perspective. Ralphs needs to seriously address what is happening at this location. A manager is supposed to de-escalate situations, provide professional customer service, and represent the company appropriately--not make an already uncomfortable customer interaction worse. I have already made complaints about my experiences with Cisco, so this is not the first time I have raised concerns. The fact that I have continued to encounter the same type of behavior is extremely disappointing. This is bigger than simply saying, "I don't like this employee." Customers should be treated with professionalism and respect regardless of whether an employee personally likes them. A manager should be held to an even higher standard. Ralphs: please investigate this situation, review the conduct of this manager, and take appropriate corrective action. At this point, I do not believe Cisco should continue serving in a customer-facing management position. I am asking Ralphs to seriously consider removing him from this location and/or taking whatever employment action is appropriate based on the investigation. I have been a paying customer of this store for approximately five years. I should not have to avoid a store next door to my own home because of one manager's conduct. Ralphs needs to do better.

Their bakery is great as well and has plenty of options for special occasions or a sweet treat. Overall, a convenient and reliable Vons! This is our grocery store of choice.

    Disappointing After Giving This Store Multiple Chances…read more The store itself generally appears clean, and I will say that many of the employees I have encountered have been pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, after giving this location multiple chances, there are too many ongoing issues for me to overlook. I have personally seen moldy bread, moldy vegetables, and even moldy cheese still available for purchase. I have also noticed fruit flies or gnats flying around the produce. Regardless of how clean the store may appear overall, seeing spoiled food and insects around fresh produce makes it very unappealing and difficult to feel comfortable purchasing those items. Customer service is also very inconsistent. While some employees are wonderful, I have encountered rude and unprofessional behavior from certain employees, including management. The pickup service has been another disappointment. I have received substitutions that were completely different from what I ordered, items have been missing, and there have been times when an employee brought my groceries out, loaded them into my trunk, slammed the trunk closed, and simply walked away without saying, "You're all set," "Thank you," or anything at all. A small amount of courtesy goes a long way. I understand that staffing may sometimes be an issue, but customers should still be able to expect fresh food, properly maintained produce areas, reasonable substitutions, and courteous service. I have continued shopping here and given this store plenty of opportunities because I hoped things would improve, but unfortunately, I'm reaching the point where I feel it may be time to take my business elsewhere. I really hope management takes these concerns seriously because this store could be so much better with more attention to food quality, cleanliness around the produce, and consistent customer service.
