This is the best Asian market in Redding hands down! Owned by a lovely young couple with two cute…read moreand energetic toddlers. This is not 99 Ranch or SF market. This is not Sacramento, people it's beautiful rural-ish Redding so adjust your expectations accordingly and you'll have a great experience. Having said that, this place is a gem for so many delicious reasons: 1) the most fresh and highest variety and stock of Asian vegetables in all of Redding are to be found here. Come first thing on the weekends to get first pick - they drive from Stockton and some of these vegetables are farm fresh. 2) I found unique ingredients and vegetables that you can't find even in SF chinatown - for example tiny (marble-sized) bitter eggplant that is a southeast Asian delicacy ... cook with chicken for a healthy and cholesterol-lowering meal 3) lots of spices and ingredients that represent most of Asia: Chinese, Vietnamese, Lao, Cambodian, Thai, Japanese, Philippine...something for everyone. 4) they carry some gourmet items as well as classical brands (for example the fish sauce they stocked was the highest quality I've ever used- but they also carry the comfort brands that everyone recognizes (such as Lee Kum Kee) 5) the quality of the produce deserves a second mention - I bought an entire bag of rambutans from here because they were so beautiful - definitely the freshest I had seen even in SF Chinatown or Sacramento. When I tasted the first one it was literally just as fresh as having picked it off the tree! All the subtle flavors, all the sweetness, the full juiciness, and plump textures that are lost in transport...oh it was heaven to eat those fresh and ripe rambutans, still enjoying them even though they are long eaten lol 6) the most beautiful eggs in all of Redding can be found here: these are eggs from local chickens. They taste better than any of the most expensive eggs you can buy at Whole Foods. I love how some are large and brown, others are smaller and speckled. More nutritious and tasty. The hens stop laying as many in the winter, but look for them when the weather is warmer. The owner Bee and his lovely wife take pride in this little market and it shows! I'm so grateful they are here!

So given that the two most recent reviews were a year apart, i cant sit and believe that no one…read moreelse in the yelp community has since visited this place. Ok so without further ado always remember that everyone's experience when visiting any established business will and more than likely differ from everyone elses visit. Just because you had a bad day doesnt mean that the next one behind you did. So todays date is Jan 1, 2023. I had visited Carillos Mexican Store because i couldnt find any normal chorizo that wasnt soy from any of the markets here in redding. So when i came across this establishment of course i was giddy with excitement as being from southern california there is no shortage of mexican markets out there. So naturally i was a feeling the blues when i transferred and move up here for work along every single of my co-workers recommendation on where the best authentic al-pastor is, well then youre kinda talking to yourself into thinking soyrizo cant be that bad can it? but thats not the point im trying to make here. What i am trying to point out is that i totally forgot the date of visit so this is pretty much a flashback dream review from memory and yeah you know what this store may not be as pretty or have the traditional décor that you normally see in Santa Ana or Los Angeles, but its intimate enough for one to get know the owner or staff members which is always a plus for youre looking something in particular and the way to get it is through a mexican markets connections, dont believe give it a try see how it works out. Carillos Mexican Store may not be the vision of what everyone assumes or thinks what a mexican store should be but thats ok because in there you find the big can of menudo or every single ingredient youll need to make it yourself, they may not have the widest collection of household cleaning supplies but at least one bottle of fabuloso will suffice and just because safeway say that their coca-cola is authentic doesnt mean it was made with pure cane sugar like the ones they have down past the mexican border and just like the ones youll see displayed and ready for purchase at Carillos Mexican Store. Now being that im from southern california i will admit that when it comes to buying meats and chicken to cook on or off the grill. i am spoiled i can either go around the corner for some bomb tacos or i can drive to wherever and purchase the best al-pastor, in my opinion of course, and just be happy for the rest of my life. So when i saw the carniceria section i will admit, it wasnt what i was expecting, but the choices werent bad either and even though the dispaly for the meats counter looked like something out the texas massacre's gas station store display case, i didnt hesitate to pick up the seasoned chick and 2 pounds of chorizo, and with all the other little snacks and hair care product (moco de gorilla) i walked out of there not only with 4 bags worth of groceries but with a sense of comfort now knowing that if i ever need my fix of pulparindo's or japanese style peanuts i dont have to drive 7.5 hrs away to manifest it.. Finally i can only tell you how i felt and the experience that i had received when i had purchased from Carillos Mexican Store. The only thing i can suggest if you decide to visit is keep an open mind, its not gonna be all of mexico in there but im sure youll find that little mexican dish for tonights dinner or the saturday night bbq with friends or the neighbor. .

Every Asian market around here has their own unique selection, but I've noticed that a lot of things at Southeast Market are actually cheaper, which is a huge plus. The lady who owns the market is always so friendly. She speaks a little English, which makes shopping there even nicer, and she's incredibly kind. I shop here often for vegetables, and one time she even gave me a free pack of veggies, which was such a sweet gesture and really meant a lot. If you come here, you have to try the sesame balls, they are to die for. We've really enjoyed coming here ever since they opened, and it honestly feels like we're becoming regulars. Great prices, unique items, and genuine hospitality, highly recommend.

If you're feeling that way, Redding Certified Farmer's Market is the antidote. Show up here on Saturday morning and you'll be saying, "Okay, here are the local hipsters. They do exist." We always start by heading for the south end of the market to Colima Tamales for early morning breakfast tamales. One of the venders makes amazing fresh-squeezed shaken lemonade -- I recommend going for one of those as well. Many of the fruit and veggie stands are organic -- we tend to stock up for the week, either on stuff we're not growing this year (corn) or stuff that we've exhausted in our garden in the short-term (currently, large tomatoes). We also buy meat from some of the local folks who raise organic, grass-fed critters. Tonight I'm going to butterfly the leg of lamb we bought, rub it in olive oil and herbs, and throw it on the BBQ. I normally tend not to patronize the stands that sell prepared foods, but this morning I bought a great jar of mustard that I'd sampled just because the vendor was wearing a "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds" tee shirt. It didn't occur to me until just now that he was possibly being clever. Mustard. Bad seeds.

We stopped in here while visiting family to see what kind of options they had. We're always on the hunt for good quality meats. While they're primarily known for processing game, I'm glad we stopped in. What stood out to us: 1. Prices are extremely reasonable. $7/lb for Tri-tip and that isn't even a sale price. We pay atleast $12.99/lb usually. They also had organic chicken (although it wasn't labeled organic, they said it is) for $1.50-5/lb depending on the cut. 2. When asking what's popular, the owners mentioned the sausages are a hit with the locals. They make them all in house. I was particularly excited to hear that the sun dried tomatoes in the tomato basil sausage and the jalapeños in the jalapeño cheese sausage were grown in their garden out back. It doesn't get much more fresh and local than that! While we didn't try the chorizo this time, they also noted that it's a popular option and they have people purchase it in bulk to use at restaurants. One thing I would note is that it seems like their retail meats are sourced from a number of places . They have some stuff that they just bought commercially, some stuff that is from other fairly local farms, and some things that are processed right there in house. Sourcing matters to you? Be sure to have a conversation about it with them, Roger there they can tell you everything. One of the owners and her son spent a lot of time with us. Also note that if you spend about $200 or more they'll give you a flat discount off the top! We spent just over $200, and came out with 3 heaping grocery bags of meat to fill the freezer! You can't get that much bang for your buck at the grocery store.

I figured while I was nearby I should peruse this place. Its super tiny, but have most of the items you would be looking for in a place like this; purple rice (which is what I stopped in for), pocky, dried dates, duck, noodles, garlic chili paste, etc. I'm not really sure how much English the female clerk speaks, but she was still really friendly. The only reason they didn't get the fifth star is because there was no produce and all of their meat products were frozen. I always like to support ethnic markets because lets face it, Redding is not the most diverse place and "variety is the spice of life." Spice up your life and diet and stop in.
