I recently visited Guadalajara and went to the Walmart Galerias on Av Vallarta to shop for some…read morethings 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.

Everything seems to be well stocked here and clean. No boxes and packages waiting to be stocked…read more 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.

Yes! I'm the 27th person to write a little "something something" about this Costco, that happens to…read morebe located in a metropolitan area of the city of Guadalajara that has more than 5.8 MILLION people. "Tu habla espanol? muy poco/ poquito" "Perdon, Ingles will have to suffice!" Haha I initially was not going to write anything, because the nature of my visit to this Costco was something I wanted to keep a secret, but then I realized I still can. And merely just talk about the highlights and why I think this Costco gets 5 stars from little Ole muah/ me! :) 1. I've been a Costco nut as far as I can remember. When I was in HS, I worked for Price Club (I think Sam's Club bought them out?) Idk, but it felt and looked like a Costco. Actually, nevermind, good ole chat GPT just confirmed, Costco did indeed bought Price club out! Sam's club tried, but did not succeed. Holy buckets, I learned something new today. Right on! Oh man, here I go, digressing at its finest right here! Lol 2. The employees here at this particular Costco were/are awesome, Awesome, with a capital "A" Awesome, you know?! Partly because, I whispered to my friend who is a local "Guadalajarian" "Hey, is Costco in Guadalajara considered a very good job? They said definitely Yes! Great benefits and great hourly pay! Plus, I imagine you get a discount on Costco goods, which products are already discounted. So the quality of employees seemed better, well, so it seemed like. They seemed happier at least :). 3. The line que in the end. I personally liked that very much. We had 4 full carts of goods so being directed by a super helpful employee directing us was a good thing. She was so nice too. The ambiance was that of a Costco. I live in California so honestly, it felt and looked EXACTLY the same, if you know what I mean! :). Granted everything was in Espanol! Which I loved! Well, because I freaking love Mexico, hence being in Mexico! I also loved the one in Tijuana, BTW! Thank you Costco in Guadalajara! Thank you for existing, you made a lot of people super happy, including myself. My 1 and only regret, was, I did not take advantage of eating at your food court. Man, that was a foolish mistake on my part. I now have no way to compare the difference and I cannot make any comparison to how the food differs or if it is the same. My guess, probably similar. So, for all the Yelp! Foreigners/ Westerners/ Gringos y Gringas living or traveling in Guadalajara- go frequent this Costco it is muy Bueno, muy Rico, muy excelente! Grqcias, por todo, Costco en Guadalajara!

Think twice before going to this Costco!…read more Parking is a mad house. It takes 10-15 minutes to locate a parking spot. The store is so crowded it takes about 45 minutes to check out. The checkout lines literally encompass the whole store. One line ran to the back of the store and back around the side nearly to the front. We decided to not purchase anything because of the lines. Get your parking validated, otherwise there's a 30 peso charge. Since we decided to leave Costco instead of waiting nearly an hour to check out, we had to pay 30 pesos.
