    Hot food, bakery area
    Michelle F.

    Love stopping here for a large aguas Fresca $4.99 and a three taco meal )comes with sides of you like. I typically just get the tacos. They are a great size. Tortilla shells are handmade. Meat perfect seasoned. And come with two salsas. Service is welcoming, efficient and always a pleasure to visit. Ambiance is your typical grocery experience.

    Tamale Cart

    I read somewhere that this is one of the go to places for tamales! Wow! I didn't have any expectations and was blown away by how awesome this market it! I've driven by so many times, now I'm going to put it in my regular rotation! First, I was so impressed with the guacamole station! It is like custom order on steroids! Anything you like on your guacamole, you can get it! Salsa, cilantro, onions, jalapeños, they'll make it your way! The ceviche station was equally impressive. I saw two ladies holding their $12 to go cups. It reminded me of the dinner scene from Beetlejuice, the shrimp on top were gigantic!! And no longer do I hear the familiar crowing and little bell ringing of a cart down the neighborhood announcing "TAMALES! Tamales! Tamales!" Gone is the lady who used to sell them out of the flatbed truck out of an igloo cooler in the parking lot of the 99 cent store (which is also gone). I was so happy to make my selection from the indoor tamale cart, one side is savory, the other is sweet. If you are inclined to make your own, no problem, there's a whole section dedicated to masa and hominy. Was in a hurry, but will be back to explore. Only got a glimpse of all the saint candles for $2.50. I might need the large Virgin de Guadalupe one for $10. Opted for self check out. Very convenient!

    Vallarta Supermarket is a pretty popular supermarket where they make tortillas and bakery items, have a butcher, stations for cheese, Ceviche, sushi, chicharron, floral and so much more. The one thing I noticed...I didn't see or hear staff greeting customers or asking customers if they needed help. They would just walk by or staff would just be talking with each other.

    Chips that are as thick as a brick! Hard too.
    Cheryl B.

    I purchased some salsa and premium tortilla chips from Vallarta as I was headed to the Hollywood Bowl for a summer concert. Omg! These chips are the absolute WORST! they're hard and thick,I almost broke my tooth off. My husband had to spit it out because of how thick and chunky the chips are. I believe they make them in house. Buyers beware! You will run the risk of choking or chipping your tooth with their tortilla chips. The birds won't even eat them.

    Storefront

    Grocery shopping in Pasadena, California... My friend, Mikey C., posted photos of frankincense and myrrh from Vallarta Supermarket in Oxnard, California. I thought that I could find some at the Pasadena location... No such luck. However, I did find other items... First of all... the name of the store changed. The storefront reads: Vallarta Supermarket. My GPS brought me here to La Cocina Vallarta. Maybe because this Supermarket has a deli section with prepared foods to go? Anyway, the products were amazingly different. It's like I was in a foreign country. The freshly made tortillas, Mexican decorations, spices, earthenware, greeting cards, aprons, party favors, etc. were fascinating! I had to get some horchata mix to try. I also got some Mexican candy and nectarines. I'll have to return again and do more exploring...

    $1.59!!!
    Olivia S.

    Ok so it's impossible for me to get everything at one place and admittedly I enjoy going to the market between my studies. I love this place! Pretty decent organic produce selection! The ginger is legit. $1.59!! I can buy pears and apples for less than $1 each! The fresh juice bar is always a win, as is the carniceria. When I feel like a cheat the quesa tacos are fire and the meats always tasty and fresh. I love the different counters they have with the ceviche, and tortilla counters. It's way more than you'd expect. Staff is nice and sale prices are great. It's a nice add to my repertoire, lots of variety and I'm grateful they're in the community.

    Does Vallarta market have whole fresh red snapper(huachinango) ? What about Pescado Zarandeado? Chapulines?

    I want to know if you can order me a whole pig between 30 and forty lbs?

    I would call the meat Dept and ask.

    For those that are not familiar with Super King Market, this is a market that was founded by Peter…read moreand Mary Fermanian, with the first store in Anaheim (which has since remolded and is significantly bigger than the first one). The name "King" is a homage to honor their father, who was known to be the king of fruit. Super King Market is best known for their produce, excellent quality and very affordable prices. The market itself is very international in which you can find Middle Eastern items, Hispanic items and also Asian grocery items as well. I really love Super King and so does my husband. After my husband had discovered the location in Claremont (I actually had shopped there before he did, many years ago), he just has this desire to visit the other locations. We have already visited the one in Glendale, which is my least favorite of the 3 that we have gone to so far. This location is cleaner and does seem to be bigger (but I prefer the set up and layout of the location in Claremont. The parking is way better than the other 2 locations that we have visited). Anyways, we came by this store on a Saturday and it was definitely busy. But not so busy that it felt crowded (but can't say that will be the same for you if you come on a weekend). The first selection I love to visit is their produce section. There is such a vast variety of different, good quality, vegetables and fruits. And what makes this section even better is the fact that the produce is so cheaply priced. A market like this really encourages you to choose healthier choices of fruits and vegetables (and also whole grains. The dried grains, rice + beans section is also very cheap, as compared to the typical American market like Von's, Ralph's, etc). I also love all the different types of breads that you can find on the other side of the store. The prices for whole wheat pita bread is very cheap too (and also the regular pita bread for those who don't appreciate whole grain foods and don't get enough fiber in their diet). Be aware that a lot of their fresh breads have a short shelf life so make sure you finish your bread before they go bad and have mold :( Customer service at the register was just whatever, but I don't come to this market expecting it to be stellar, so that doesn't bother me. The prices are great here, the selection of food items (in many different departments, not just the produce) is excellent and would come back to this location more often if I lived in the area.

    Well they have super long lines and no baggers. So the cashier has to bag and it can take so much…read moreextra time. Unless you the customer bags your own stuff. But the elderly can't do that so it's why the lines are so long. Now here is the kicker. At the end of the checking line is a manager ...sometimes 2. A man and a woman. They are observing the long lines...counting something...just observing. It would help if THEY just go to the end of a long line and start bagging! See, that would be cool! You see you guys have not scheduled any baggers and the lines are so long they are down the aisles .. and you are just standing there? Of course they may say, well that's not my job. But that's the mentality that keeps things moving slow. It would be so nice if people just did what it takes to keep things moving. Either hire enough people OR get in there and start bagging! I remember back in the days there was a bagger at the end of each checkout aisle. A bagger and a casher! Those days are gone ...and most stores now see if they can get away with overworking the checker! Next thing you know they install self check outs! Rather than hire people and keep a system of people working they just get rid of people and have 1 person observing (like these managers were doing). What a world we are moving towards. But anyways that's what you see. I wish they would just hire bag boys and go back to the good ol days.

The first thing you're going to see in the forefront is fresh produce. I mean really FRESH-looking produce. There were even olives in this section. Those babies looked like they were recently freshly picked. To the far right was a refrigerated section that I did not explore today. Instead, I opted to walk straight ahead to the meat cases. Beautiful marinated chicken wings, pork rib-lets and pork belly greeted me as I walked into protein bliss. The meat offerings were abundant!! In addition, there was a selection of marinated olives, cheeses, salmon and even pastries (located in front of the cold cases). Gaspar, (I'm not sure what his role is there) was so warm and welcoming. He assured me that I will not find better marinated meats. I bought the spicy wings. Will try to update my review with the verdict on those once I air fry them. In the meantime, we must support our local small businesses. This place is inviting and you will likely walk away with something delectable. Give them a try.

Another time, the pizza stand was completely empty and I saw numerous packaged pizza doughs that looked like they had been out and over proofing for wayy too long! It wasn't refrigerated, and when I asked what happened, they said the burner broke down. If that's the case , you need to refrigerate the dough or hire someone that cares enough to handle food properly there. The cashiers never smile, don't make eye contact, and never greet you. They all look miserable ALL THE TIME! One time a cashier filled up one of my bags with really heavy groceries then told me to put it in the cart. I tried to pick it up and almost got a hernia ,and so I told him it's too heavy and I can't pick it up, and he just ignored me. He didn't try to put it in the cart himself because even he couldn't (it was so heavy). He didn't have the common sense or decency to even try emptying some of it into another bag . He just stood there, said nothing. (I ended up doing that myself) I tried to cut some slack for these guys, and give them the benefit of the doubt, and I've never once been rude to anyone there (even when I felt I had every right) I still kept quiet. However, the consistency of the horrendous customer service skills is disgraceful and disgusting. Where are the managers? Who is on the hiring committee? Why aren't any of these people getting proper training? Where is quality control? It's sad that standards are so low at this location that you treat your long time loyal customers this bad. Truly a shame. If I was a health inspector, I'd be shutting down your pizza center first, then I'd fire every single cashier there and train proper human beings to work with human beings.
