I recently visited Guadalajara and went to the Walmart Galerias on Av Vallarta to shop for some things I needed. Most Walmarts are about the same throughout Mexico. This one had advantages over some others because it is larger and with a bit more variety. Other than that I was not that impressed. Perhaps I'm comparing it too much to my hometown Super Walmart in the USA. This Walmart is next to a Sam's Ckub and adjacent to the Galerias Shopping Mall. So what you can't find in Walmart, you may find at Liverpool, H&M, Aldo's, Carter's-Oshkosh, or one of the other mall stores. You can also eat for cheap at Vips, or go wild at Cheesecake Factory while you send your non-shopping friends to the movies. The parking is paid, so get your ticket validated. On the plus side, some parking is shaded (a huge plus my Walmart ought to have considering the significantly hotter climate. The selection is pretty good: groceries, home goods, over the counter pharmacy and hygiene products, automotive, gardening (plants and pots), apparel, shoes, the usual bakery, deli, etc. I was impressed with the bakery... I tried some mini donuts which were horrible and I didn't even finish one. Their bolillos looked reasonable. As you check out be sure to remember that they only use reusable grocery bags which they sell for a decent price. So bring your own, or buy them here. read more

Everything seems to be well stocked here and clean. No boxes and packages waiting to be stocked. The produce is so-so with half the cucumbers being squished in. Prices to me weren't so bad. 250ml bottles of coke show 6 pesos on the sign but ring up at 8 pesos, which to me is still a good price. There's private, covered parking but you have to make sure to bring in your ticket to get parking validation. The bad part and why I'd avoid this Walmart is the lines and cashier. The cashier was not friendly and very cold. There were two registers open with the lines extending into the clothing area. For the self checkout which is 20 items or fewer it extended past the produce. Also the breads from the Walmart panaderia were just not good and had the taste of butter flavor Crisco. Bathrooms were alright. Not immaculate but stocked and free. There's a Dominos and Krispy Kreme inside. read more

We went into this store for about 15 min to buy some pots and we went to our truck to leave our stereo was missing. We went to talk to the parking security and they directed to customer service inside of Walmart. They told us that we had to talk to the parking security. Finally the parking security told us that they did not have access to the cameras and that if we wanted to make an official complaint it would take weeks and that even then that their insurance only covers for stollen vehicles. Muy mal servicio en esta tienda. Fuimos a comprar unas macetas y nos tardamos 15 minutos y cuando regresamos al carro ya no estaba nuestro estero. Fuimos a hablar con los vigilantes del estacionamiento y nos dijieron que teníamos que hablar con el servicio al cliente de la tienda. En la tienda nos regresaron a los vigilantes del estacionamiento quienes nos dijieron que podíamos levantar una denuncia pero que se tardaría semanas y que aún si lo hacíamos no se podía hacer nada pues su aseguradora solo cubre robo total dl vehículo. Deberían tener mejor servicio al cliente, mejor seguridad ya que parece que los mismos vigilantes del estacionamiento están vinculados con las personas que cometen los atracos. read more
