Well organized and clean supermarket! They have polite and helpful employees especially Annie who works at their juice bar. Love their produce section. Really affordable and I love their fresh fruit. I also love their Pico De Gallo. I always save a small fortune when I shop here! read more

Overall Vallarta supermarkets are great for Latin food products. They have a lot of imported items from Mexico. A great selection of candy and specialty items. Also dry beans, condiments and more. The produce department is great here. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits. I love getting avocados and jalapeños from here. I usually shop at the Burbank location and love getting g carne asada meat from. The meat department smells a bit at this location so I have never bought meat here. They also sell hot food items here, there's a counter selling food. You can even sit here and enjoy your food. A freshly squeezed juice bar is my favorite here as well. Overall a great place to shop from. They always have weekly specials that will save you money. ... read more

I went today for chicken quesadilla with rice and beans. Got home the chicken was brown hard pieces that my cat wouldn't even eat. So I tried a different piece and decided to open it and not only is it fried dried brown pieces there a big piece of skin which is nasty. Is it chicken skin or maybe employee skin? Hell if I know but I'm taking this nasty food back. Refried beans are real dark and it all is tasteless. The cashier and lady cooking both looked unhappy to be there. Which is sad because many out of work people would like a job. read more

The guy working the alcohol section tried to sell me the wrong bottle 2 times. I had to drive back and exchange it. When i chose the don julio repo, he tried to grab a whiskey... then he sells me anejo when i told home reposado. Then he and his employee friends laugh and won't let me touch the bottle before i purchase so there is no way to tell if he grabbed the right bottle or not. Why is this man working the alcohol department if he thinks don julio reposado is whiskey? read more

You all need to buy the taquiza packs of 10 and 20 little tacos for your next event or big dinners! The presentation was also so cute!

I ordered ahead of time and on the day of I added another 20 pack and they were so accommodating! Fast and here's service! read more

1 1/2 minute read: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bL3v4xfBhT8JaBNX8?g_st=ic Five Stars are worth giving. VALLARTA- Has pl;enty of parking. They adhere to CDC rules on TRump45 Virus. It's a clean store, The Staff goes beyond the call of duty to help you- when and if you need it. They stock most Latin American products you may need to make thos KILLER TACOS, ENCHILADAS, MENUDO, POZOLE or anything else you know how to make. If you follow me and notice I almost always give 5 Stars, its because I don't believe in thrashing a business on Line. I've had run-ins at VALLARTA, BUT THEY WERE SETTLED ...... ON THE SPOT. iF AND WHEN YOU SEE A Vallarta, STOP BY AND CHECK THEM OUT. P.S. They speeken-Inglis too. UPDATE 10/09/2025 It's been 4 years (already) since my first review and for those of you that take the minute or two that it takes to read a good short review, please leave us a signal, that you were here by 'LIKING' or a simple '' will do. Ok, a couple of days ago I needed some items for my "TACOS" dinner. So I mosy'd-on-down to Vallarta to see what I could get. While at Vallarta, I didn't feel like spending too much (time) making Spanish Rice so I went to the section on the West side of the food aisles. The, "La Cocina", is there. Fast Mexican food. I was immediately tended to by a very service minded, great smiling young Lady- ANNIE! I bought my Spanish Rice and a large "JAMAICA". I told Annie that I really appreciated the way she tended her Customers. On several visits to VALLARTA I could help but notice Annie's style. Besides her friendly demeanor, she really pays attention to you and doesn't seem like she wants to get rid of you so she can go to the next in line. Go get some good Mexican food at "LA COCINA", at VALLARTA and look for Annie. Tell her, "Remember that old man that came the other day, who bought Spanish Rice and a large 'NO ICE' Jamaica? Well, he told us how great you are and all!" read more

Their food the service is so so the ambience is Mexican. They got fruits that you can get to Mexico. It's different than the ones you're getting Ralph but at the end of the day the price are pretty good. It's close to the gym and get to stop by once in a while read more

I went grocery shopping with my son and brother and decided to enjoy some lunch at their Cocina. Their food was delicious and you get a decent portion for what you pay. All their plates range in prices but are about $10-$11 dollars at this location. read more

The Peple working at the restaurant/taqueria or whatever need to pay more attention to our orders. Today I went to get a. WHOLE ROSTER CHICKEN COMBO and then I ask if they can please CUT IT IN PIECES she said "of course" then when I get the order back to my surprise the entire order was just in a plastic white container. I opened it and I saw the rice and beans there and the chicken in pieces so I thought ok the. This must be it. To my surprise when I got home I was placing the chicken in a different container I realized I was given just HALF CHICKEN ‍. But I'm tired and frustrated and there's no point of me going back. But their employees were there chatting and laughing so instead of paying attention they seemed to just be more entertained with their coworkers. read more

Love this Vallarta! Everything is organized and clean and staff is friendly. I just bought some tamales from the hot containers. Seems like the tamales were all dried, hard and old. One even completely crumbled when I opened it! None of them were moist. Yeah I would be careful when buying the tamales. Looks like Vallarta needs to check up on those a bit more often. Not gonna buy them again. read more

I have to start with saying I love this supermarket chain. This particular location, no. I went in to get some juice and a taco. I went up to the juice bar. There was one very busy efficient employee. She requested help. I got a clueless woman. I asked for the largest orange juice I can buy. But just one. For some reason, the girl helping me ran to get help not understanding my order. (A large orange juice) The person she got to take my order rang me up for four large orange juices. I asked: what are you doing? I brought in the reusable container that you get when you buy the large fresh juice, I.e., watermelon juice. So the guy thought I wanted to fill it up. Filling it up isn't four large orange. It's 2. And I didn't want it filled up. I just wanted one large orange juice. Very simple request. I'll go to other locations read more

Just going to say it unfortunately they don't know how to make Papusas and took 35 min to give me reheated Papusas...

This is one of my favorite Vallarta's in the Valley since Covid. The parking lot is huge and easy to get in and out of. It's huge inside with an amazing produce department and hot food/dining in area. The prices are great and they have the best freshly made tortilla chips, Pico de Gallo, and guacamole to go! The bakery is also wonderful. You can order specialty cakes for all occasions which are delicious! Their home made chicken tamales are Yummy! I recently purchased their pre-cut fruit which included: watermelon, pineapple and cantaloupe for $9. Very sweet, juicy and lasted several days. They have lots of fresh dill (which is very hard to find), cilantro and avocados! I also like to get my 7 day candles here to keep on hand for a spell or 2. Xoxox read more

I have been coming to this supermarket for a long time, off and on when i lived in the Valley. I was here recently visiting last month, and i could not find some of the meats i was looking for. They have the Deli areas, and the small isle area. All in all, they always have a few things that i find that i need. My only problem i do not like about this store, and many others like it having to bag your own groceries. There is a young Armenian woman that works here now. She was a really good help in bagging my groceries for me. I forgot her name, but she was a sweetheart. She wears a mask, and she is short with medium length dark hair. They need more people working here and quit making customers bag their own groceries. read more

This fantastic Latin focused supermarket has an amazing produce section with most everything you'll need and some items you've maybe never heard of before. And don't miss the meat section. Wow! One more stop in this store. Do not leave until you've had a chance to see the hot food section. Vallarta, mic drop! read more

This review is mainly for the meat department/butcher- the store itself is clean and the produce is fresh. The meat on the other hand- the butcher clearly doesn't trim any of the fat. This is the 2nd time that I go in two months where the ranchera meat was mostly fat. I purchased 10 lbs and at the end it was about 7 lbs of meat. We had to go purchase more meat from the vallarta on 13715 Vanowen-- which was better quality. read more

I am giving this review a 1 star because I cannot give it a zero. I bought this fruit tart for Christmas Eve dinner and was embarrassed when we cut into it and my friend commented how much filling was missing and the extra thick crust (see photos). Then to top it off the strawberries still had the leaves on them. No one bother to take them off when making this "thing". When in the store it looked like there was a decent amount of filling, but it was very deceiving and this was not discovered until after it was sliced. I would be wary if buying any other bakery products and would not recommend anyone else to do the same. Should have gone to another bakery. You guys should do better. read more

Valley Glen Vallarta is the best. Came here early to beat the crowd and do some Thanksgiving advanced prep with my friend. While Vallarta as a chain stays away from being like a Ralph's or Vons carrying too many brands Vallarta gives you less to overwhelm you. They have incredible deals on produce and refrigerated foods such as dairy, lunch meats, etc. Vallarta Valley Glen also carries a surprising amount of vegetarian and vegan products and currently have the best deals I've seen on Beyond Meat products.... though not so much for Follow Your Heart, Morningstar and Gardein brands which they sell a far amount of each here... The isles have more than plenty of space (length as well as width) to navigate through. Their wine and spirits section is well kept... most of the cerveza/beer is kept frio/cold...hard alcohol/spirits is kept locked up near the front half of the store, however they have several gift sets on display for the holidays on an endcap. When you checkout the lines move fast however... self checkout is so roomie and spacious it puts any other self checkouts around LA to shame... they keep their plastic bags stocked for purchased and there is always an attendant to assist you if there is an issue. The parking lot is massive though shared with a plaza of businesses. Definitely enjoy this location over others. The service is good as are the deals and product availability (they stay stocked). read more

Great store. They always have the best selection of tortillas, salsa, guacamole and other condiments I use for cooking Mexican food at home. This review is however for their beyond tacos which are amazing! So happy Vallarta has jumped on the plant based bandwagon w their version of a street taco. I give this taco a 4 out 5 easily and will be back for more. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I felt like I needed to write about my experience. I was craving plantains, papa con huevo breakfast burrito, and champurrado ordered to go. I arrived home and was so excited about my breakfast. As I open the plantains I see a black hair on the plantains! So decide not to eat the plantains. I begin to take a few bites of my breakfast burrito and felt like the burrito was filled with fillers literally just frijoles and arroz with a hint of papa and huevo. The champurrado was also very disappointing , it had no flavor. Basically $26 down the drain. Overall bad experience with ordering food from Vallartas kitchen. I will not be ordering food from Vallarta again. read more

Alright, to give this business my review is long overdue. I only go shopping there occasionally. But if I have to do some business at the UPS store or one of the other stores I always stop by and buy something at Vallartas. Especially one of their Bimbo breads. Since they have so many varieties. And one of them only Vallarta is selling. But now to the store itself and its crew. The store is always immaculate and spotless. Well organized and kept well stocked. Even their bathroom is always clean if I have to use it. The meats they offer are amazing. A better selection and prices than other big box grocery stores I know of. Their vegan offers in the freezer are also quite compatible with any other stores out there. But now let me talk about their wonderful employees. I have not once come across one employee there who was not friendly, polite or helpful. Once I was looking for something. When I was ready to check out at the self-check-out, the lady there called the manager, and the gentleman himself walked with me to the area where they had the item. And we had a nice talk. Most of the time I check out at the self-checkout. There is always someone friendly to assist you. Always friendly! Last time I wanted an item, but it looked like there wasn't any on the shelf. I asked if they might have some left in the storage. Because it was on sale. She called someone right away. That girl, very polite, asked me to show her what soda exactly I was talking about and I didn't mind showing her. She said she would look and if they don't have it to let the front desk know. The other day I was looking for something where the produce is. A young fellow. Wasn't sure where it was, because he just started 2 days ago to work there. So he went and asked another coworker to be able to give me the answer. OMG, some good kid with common sense and willing to help a customer. I thanked him and made sure to let the manager know when I paid how happy I was with this young employee. When you drive by and want some truly good produce or meat. And actually good service. Go to Vallarta. You'll be surprised how much of a better service you get there than other so " popular" stores read more

I love Vallarta. SELECTION: This is not a massive building but they have all the essentials and more. Most of the sections are smaller than you'd find in a larger store however the shelves are well-stocked. I haven't had an issue finding groceries unless I was looking for a very specific brand. That being said, this supermarket caters to the Latino community so there are lots of products you can't get elsewhere. I have yet to explore their massive spice section or the amazing panadería (bakery). They also sell alcohol (liquor, wine, and beer). PRODUCE: I've been very satisfied with the quality of available fruit/vegetables. The aisles are always clean too. PRICES: Really reasonable prices! My boyfriend lives in West Hollywood so I buy groceries for him here because it's much cheaper. I can get a pack of 12 chicken drumsticks for $3+ here. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Surprisingly excellent. I just don't expect grocery stores to offer this sort of service. I ran into an issue where I wanted a refund. I bought a rotisserie chicken which ended up being ridiculously over-salted (and I love salt so I swear that I wasn't being petty). I filled out the contact form on their website and someone called me almost immediately. That's rare. The staff member (Joanna) was really friendly and eager to help. She arranged for me to come back to the store and receive a refund. I spoke to a store manager who was also friendly and eager to help. Very cool of the store to offer such efficient and personalized service. Finally, all the cashiers have always been really friendly. PARKING: Large parking lot. It's in a big strip mall shared with several other businesses. I've never really had an issue finding parking but I usually come on weekday afternoons. read more

This is a great Vallarta! It has a hot kitchen, carniceria, panaderia, fresh juices and ceviche (seafood options). If you don't feel like cooking they gotchu. Their hot kitchen has so many options from breakfast chilaquiles(delicious) to beef and chicken caldos., tacos (asada, fish and beef) I just gotta say it is always clean. I first came here over two years ago when they first reopened LA Fitness next door. It has everything you need even from a Latino store but without the smell and sometimes dirtiness. They have great customer service and fair prices. They even have a salsa bar and a couple of tables for seating. Great super market. Tortillas hechas a mano and they have masa preparada .. Big plus, they're remodeling read more

Coming from Hawai'i where our Mexican and Hispanic population isn't large enough to sustain a huge supermarket of Vallarta's size, I feel like a kid in a candy store when I come here. I'm mesmerized at the low prices of the freshest produce, foodstuffs and groceries here. Okay, so you're probably wondering how can or why I give this supermarket such a high rating? Their product displays are well-organized and nicely stacked. The general condition of this supermarket is clean and well-run. Best of all is their attentive, courteous and helpful staff. I've not had any problem finding a staffer to help me get a product that is out of my reach (yeah, I'm vertically challenged) or locate the product in their inventory. I've come here to market for produce, meat, seafood, pastries and baking ingredients. They make fresh tortillas in their Tortilleria Department, fresh salsas and Latin cheeses can be found in their Cremeria but my favorite department to stop at is their Mexican Kitchen or Taqueria. Their Mexican Kitchen has a hot bar with carnitas, menudo, lengua, chicharrón, aguas frescas and even Salvadoran pupusas. To me, this store is just amazing and I don't hesitate to market here even while I'm on vacation. read more

Address is correct for this Vallarta market. Map location is correct. However, this Vallarta is in the Valley Glen section of North Hollywood not in the city of San Fernando as the name, Vallarta San Fernando implies. It is one of their larger markets since it is housed in a former Albertson store which was originally built by the long gone Lucky Supermarket (requiescat in pace). read more

La señorita María del departamento de Panadería, debería ser un poco más amable ya que trabaja en un lugar donde tiene que interactuar con personas. Su mala actitud hace que la gente no le quiera ni preguntar por pan en las tardes. Este problema ya viene de hace meses simplemente no quería reportarlo. Pero e sido un cliente de esta tienda por mucho tiempo y no voy a tolerar que esto siga pasando. María from the Bakery Department should be a little bit more nicer and understanding because she works in a place where she's interacting with people. She has the worst attitude when it comes to asking her a question People don't even wanna ask her for bread because of the looks and attitude she gives. It's been a while since this is going on I been a customer to this store for years and I will not tolerate her behavior no more. read more

I come here often for Hot Kitchen! The chicken Caldo and Albondiga Soup is great ! It is conveniently ready for you to pick up whenever , comes with tortillas and a small side of mexican rice , there is a salsa bar where you can help yourself to onions , cilantro, Peppers and a variety of salsas (favorite part)! The hot and ready food never disappoints. Also check out the variety of fresh juice smoothies! I drive farther for Vallarta's not only for the better prices but the Ralph's across the street never ceases to dissappoint, the employees are not helpful and usually Grumpy. The Manager on shift last night named Alex came over answered my question, didn't hesitate to help me out when I asked about the very small portion of rice I had recieved from the hot kitchen. I was hungry , fresh out of dental surgery and on pain killers, a little annoyed to say the least. Thank You Alex , for handling the situation like you did , Vallarta's always has a friendly atmosphere. This is the 2nd time a manager helps me out at this store . Fast and friendly service is what I appreciate most , I'll continue to shop here with my family thanks to them. Don't forget to pick up one of their Ready-Made Salsas or Guac To-Go ! read more

I always tell my wife that going to Vallarta is like going to a theme park. It's bright, it's colorful, there's great energy. This Vallarta is particularly vibrant; there is space to showcase the best that Vallarta has to offer: the produce section is marvelous with excellent product and spectacular presentation; the carnecería is vast, with bountiful cuts of both specialty meats (pig's feet) & standards (carne de rachera de res, eg the best pre-marinated meat you can buy in Southern California, aka 'carne asada); the dry goods area is cavernous and has as many dried chiles and spices as you desire; the refrigerated section is vast (and can save you some time waiting at the carnecería as they have prepackaged the popular favorites; and the in-house restaurant is ample. Don't forget the ceviche, with everything from estilo peruano to crab to pulpo, and the baked goods will have your mouth watering. The people here are helpful, and the store is vast. Best of all, you'll be pleasantly shocked once you ring up your goods; prepare to spend 10-15% less than you would at your local Ralphs or Jons. read more

I'm rather close to this location so in a pinch, I will run here for a thing or two. It obvi caters to a Latino centric demographic. But I gotta say this, it comes hard with it's hot offerings to eat on that Westside of the store. So much so, that there is a seating area with a bunch of tables. It's a Mercado, but almost a restaurant. Their enchiladas are great and the portions are huge.Puerco, asada, pollo, It's all there and more.There's a gym next door that I go to. And, a time or two after parking my car getting ready to get after it...I pick up the smell of that fried chicken..and it challenges my motivation. Friendly employees and managers that are on it, make it a welcome place to be. read more
