What they do carry though will be at some of the lowest most fair prices in old town, without the hagglIng for their tequila which is unlike all the other small shops in the area. I bought a 750 ml bottle of Adictivo anejo tequila for 645 peso ($34 USD) where small shops in the area were asking upwards of $100 USD for the same tequila. Now thats what I call a deal! Overall, if you are in the Amapas area I would check this place out first for your liquor needs and if they have what you are looking for, buy it! I give this business five stars for price but four stars overall due to their limited selection.

The prices are on par with a convenience store, and they have those quick grab and go items you're looking for. Oxxo's aren't fancy, but they have what you need. This review will be brief because I only have three tips for you: 1. ALWAYS use cash (pesos) to pay. NEVER use your credit or debit card unless it is absolutely necessary. I have heard horror stories of skimming going on, especially at Oxxo. 2. ONLY use small bills (pesos) to pay. Oxxo cashiers are notorious for not accepting large bills. They will flat-out tell you "no." The smaller the better. 3. If you're buying a beverage, always opt for the cans and bottles that are in a big bucket with ice rather than the refrigerated coolers, if offered. The drinks will be far colder in the ice bucket than the fridges.

Conveniently located on…read morethe Malecon, you'll find cheap souvenirs, snacks, sunscreen, bottled water, toiletries, pharmaceuticals (no prescription necessary), and booze. We were able to sample some tequila before we purchased a full bottle and I also got a half-decent bottle of vino blanco for a reasonable price. Mr. P. ended up loving the tequila and, sadly, it's not available in the U.S. Next time we're in Vallarta, we'll definitely go back and do some shopping to stock up on our beach trip necessities. Credit cards and pesos accepted.

This is the worst store you can buy in. The prices are misrepresented, you cannot return anything…read moreonce you paid for it, and they don't care about the client. I recently visited the store and saw some mugs with a sign that read in Spanish, "buy two, take three (the third one the lowest price)", but when I tried to pay for them they said, "oh, not those, just the other ones", but the sign was in the middle and on top of the whole shelf. I asked if they could honor the price, but they did not (I found them 3x2 at another store anyway). Also, I paid for a pack of coasters at 4 dollars, but then realized they were at 2 packs for 6 dollars. I tried to buy the second one expecting to pay just 2 more dollars, but they did not honor that. I then tried to return the first one and repurchase 2 at 6 dollars, but they said I could not return the first one, even if I was going to buy it again. The manager even told me "If that is the way you want to interpret it, it's up to you". This was very rude coming from the manager. The whole experience made me feel I would never return to this store, and neither any of my family and friends.

This review is for the supermarket near the marina…read more This is the first trip that I visited this particular store. It was the closest to the marina and I needed some items that I couldn't get at Oxxo like bug repellant. I didn't shop the entire market because my visit was later in my trip but they seemed to have everything you could want in a supermarket. The reason I didn't give them five stars is that they have two separate ATMs, and both of them were shut off or powered down as soon as I walked up to them. I wasn't going to use my credit card, so I hobbled over to the next plaza, grabbed some cash from the bank ATM and hobbled back. Either way, if you are in Marina Vallarta, this is the closest one.

If however you are looking for a blow-your-mind delicious lunch away from the tourist traps, this is your spot! Hubby and I got 2 amazing tortas and the best shrimp burrito I've ever had for 80 pesos, inc tip. That was under $6.50! And though they don't serve drinks, if you purchase them (inc beer) from the refrigerated cases in the grocery section, they can put it in a plastic cup for you to consume with your meal. We got a recommendation for this place from our taxi driver the previous day when I asked about locals spots. Nobody speaks a lick of English and there were no other tourists here, but the proprietors are great at understanding grunt and point! ;)

I've went to the store two different times it's eight minutes from where I'm staying. And they have everything a girl can need. The vegetables are very fresh tons of meats and vegetables and a really great selection of any thing you need an a basic Mexican grocery store. Shoot in any grocery store. You may not find the American things that you used to in America but if you're used to it down here and have your Google Translate in case you need it to take pictures to translate things. You'll find everything you need is here. It just may be the Mexican version. And let's be honest if you don't know by now anything you buy in Mexico is going to be a healthier version than what they sell you in America. They do not use the high fructose corn syrup in the cokes and that's why they taste so good and it's the same for every other item on the shelves. The vegetables even taste better. If you don't know now you know. The staff is very helpful at one point I couldn't find the white vinegar for cleaning my vegetables and asked a woman in my broken Spanglish and she walked me all the way over to help me find it. They also have some lovely Tres leches cake in the back left section of the store sold by the piece for like $1.50. If you haven't had it before I highly suggest you go try it. Thanks for reading my review & hope you have a fantastic day!
