Es super. Es híper! Es un mercado muy híper!…read more
Seriously this is a huge, huge mercado, and the best last stop for groceries on the way to Tulum. This supermercado far outstrips any of the offerings south of this point, and should be a stop you make on the way from the airport to Tulum or really any points south. Located inside a weird sort of mini-mall, the Soriana has a surprisingly decent selection of produce, a very large and diverse selection of regular groceries, a big meat, deli and cheese selection, and pretty much everything you could want.
The spirits selection is larger than your average supermercado. Prices are pretty decent. Don't miss the little deli section on the left hand side of the store (when facing in from the front) with various types of interesting Mexican cheeses and chorizos. Nothing too artisan or fancy here, but some decent stuff.
The only things this place is missing are maybe a fresh salsa bar, some more artisan things, and maybe a little bit better produce section. But compared to other markets in the area, it easily holds its own.
