It's about time that I put some respect on Arteaga's! This place is pure heaven for a carb lover - like me. Need some baked goods? Arteaga"s has got you covered! The pan dulce , and tres leches cake always hits the spot. Looking for something else besides baked goods? Arteaga's offers plenty of fresh meat options , and a salsa display that will make your head spin. Do yourself a favor and try multiple salsa options- they are all good! I love this place! The store is well organized , well stocked , and offers a variety of fruits , vegetables, and pre made food options to enjoy! I have this store rated higher than Cardenas. Cardenas is always grimy , and fell off in my opinion. read more

The food never misses I always get their breakfast burritos when I'm on the go. They are delicious and a good size. Service is pretty fast I think the longest I have waited was close to 10 minutes. The place is clean a and very colorful read more

Came in to use the bathroom in the store and discovered the taqueria. Ordered 12 tacos that were so full of meat! Husband and I inhaled the tray! People were very nice and prepared it so quickly. The tables were clean and the salsa bar was a nice bonus. Will come back if ever in Gilroy again. read more

Arteaga's Food Center - Carne asada Taco Trays #1 - Grocery Near Me - Gilroy, California

People were nice. That's the only positive of the visit to the food center. I Ordered carne asada regular plate and chile relleno plate. Order was on Sunday at 3pm. Meat was overcooked , dry and lacked seasoning. I tried a carne asada taco and that was bad as well. Tortilla was overly oily and meat dry. The chile relleno was mummified in cheese , I couldn't find the "chile" in the relleno. No salsa on the Chile relleno. Very disappointing meal. Something was off on the rice and beans. Standards should be elevated by management so better food is served to all clientele. read more

My only complaint being a Gringo is the food counter help could be a bit more understanding of english. I love Arteaga nevertheless - the food is always authentic and yummy. The meat counter is always full and each selection is the best it can be. Great job people! read more

Our family has been going to this grocery/cafe for over 10 years now and let me tell this place is awesome. My standard dining of good Mexican food usually happens when I taste the rice and beans that comes from an establishment and we have used the catering service of rice and beans for our parties for quite some time. Service is great and food taste even better. I normally get the enchilada plate but sometimes branch off to the carne asada bowls as well. With an updated menu that came with the carne asada fries that we got for my son. He killed it, moaning in delight of the flavor... prices are very economical as well, also their carne asada to me is the best in gilroy! read more

Ordered a large trays of rice and beans for a family party. Both tasted so good and was enough for our large group. Will order from Arteaga's again! read more

I recommend y'all season your carne asada it's dry and beans and rice are bomb I love this place it's the best

Great food! Party platters are well worth it. It would help if the staff could speak a little better English, but also helps if customers spoke better Spanish!! read more

My husband went to buy 2 pound of Al pastor meat to cook at home, he started to cook it & found a hair IN the meat!!! Disgusting! He went back to try to get it refunded (he took the meat to show them) & they said they couldn't, once it's sold there's no returns. Shitty how you spend money for NASTY meat with HAIR in it. Do better! Keep your customers happy!! read more

I like eating in the restaurant inside, good food and friendly people. Lots of offd to choose from and good drinks.

I had the best experience with a recent catering order I placed for a party. From start to finish they were responsive, kind, and professional. Our order was easy to place and was ready on time. I purchased a taco party tray and every item that it comes with was fresh and so delicious. You can't beat the price per person. Will definitely be a top choice for future catering orders! read more

Don't go here if you're not Mexican they are racist is All motherfucker we sat there for 20 minutes after we ordered our food before everybody and every single person that was Mexican got their food first we were there for over a half an hour and we didn't get our food when everybody else did within 10 minutes and they had twice the amount of food that we ordered. We just ordered some simple tacos if I could put zero star I would great food but terrible service. read more

If you don't speak Spanish, don't waste your time coming here. We wanted to get some burritos so went over to the area. I ordered one chicken burrito and one bean & cheese burrito. She had no idea what the heck I was saying. So the "Bean and cheese" burrito I ordered was another chicken burrito which was mostly rice and salsa. My daughter did not eat it, so in the trash it went. read more

Horrible store. I was in the store for 10 minutes and the whole time a worker followed me. When I was in the checkout line the lady that was following me around logged into a register and checked me out. But as soon as she handed my change she declined the customer behind me and told him to go to the next lane. This store is crap! Get out of here with your fake LV face mask. read more

What a wonderful market...I am shopping here fom now on for all my Mexican Groceries. They have everything you need for Mexican groceries. Meat, Seafood, Produce is fresh, top quality. fresh guacamole, queso fresco in deli. Great selection of meats. The staff are super friendly too! You can park right in their parking lot. After shopping get a tasty taco or burrito bowl across street at the Taco truck. read more

Being 1/2 Mex I gotta give some love to the deli/taqueria inside Arteagas. Mind you...there's nothing I need in this store since I don't particularly cook but...I was told the burritos here are delicious & it's true. They def are. I stumbled upon Arteagas trying to catch a soda or something to keep me busy while dealing with the DMV which shares the p-lot. So glad I did..cause the food here throws some serious competition with Super Taqueria. read more

The catering department is incompetent, rude, and unsanitary! I pre-ordered catering for 60 people for my son's graduation party. The incompetent staff FAILED to print my order and there was no food when I went to pick it up! When I became upset, the woman behind the counter all of a sudden did not know English and was talking shit about me in Spanish to her co-worker. The manager came up and didn't apologize or offer a solution, just shrugged and said she could not help me. I walked out and had to go to Costco while 60 people waited at my home for a meal. Additionally, the the disgusting woman behind the counter was handling money and picking food up with her dirty bare hands and serving it to another customer. This place is a joke! They are rude, unprofessional, and disgusting! read more

Waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy back in the day, this used to be our Lucky. I HATED Lucky. It was dirty and had a YELLOW generic isle! Everything had a yellow label with black writing. Fast Forward about 15 years. . . . This redone store is now Arteaga's. Clean and very nice inside. I love coming here for all of my Mexican food cooking needs. They have everything that Safeway lacks. There is even a deli inside with benches for you to eat inside the store. I only wish this store was as large as Safeway. This is the only grocery store on this side of town now... unless you dare to visit the Walmart grocery section! read more

Nice place to get groceries for locals, even non-Spanish speakers. Good deals every so often if you get their weekly ads mailed, especially the Wednesday-exclusive or Thursday-exclusive discounts. You can pick them up in the mail, but then there's a good chance that it won't be a worthwhile visit due to lack of sales on the particular items that you're looking for. I've found their grocery prices to be better than Safeway and the like, although they do lack in other things like frozen foods. Check it out if you live in the area! read more

Bad experience with manager. Was popping in to pick up a couple of items for sick dad. Had work laptop in backpack but was told no backpacks were allowed after I had already found items I was looking for and was ready to check out. Was told by manager that I couldn't have a backpack even after explaining that my work laptop could not be left in the car and that I was already ready to check out. So instead of gaining a new customer, the store lost a purchase, lost a future customer and earned a 1 star review. Hopefully the store owner will rethink their customer service policy. read more

Arteaga's Food Center - Menudo Time!!! - Grocery Near Me - Gilroy, California

Typical Mexican super-market with stand-out taqueria inside. Place your food order at the large taqueria counter and continue with your shopping while the very nice ladies in the kitchen cook it! Chili rellenos were a highlight. Not the best I've ever had, but an great deal for the price. You can also buy them individually (and cold) at the deli counter just a few feet away! I love the produce section in this large store. The very large meat counter is also good except that they pretty much only have Mexican cuts of beef and pork. So in other words, don't come here to get a New York or ribeye steak. My only other minor complaint about this place is that most non-Mexican items (a jar of mayo, for example) are priced pretty high. Guess they gotta make a profit somewhere. Sometimes (in the winter?) there's a lady with a little stand set up next to the check-out stands and selling hot champurrado. How cool is that? read more

I've only shopped here a few times for random mexican food items, but their hot bar taqueria, salsa and cheese bar, juice station, and bakery are awesome. There's many who won't agree with me on this because i'm not mexican, but then there are many who will if you know that great taste of a taco truck. The tacos at Arteaga's is the closest thing to mexican catering truck aka taco truck tacos that you will find. The mini tacos are what I always opt for since they're cheap and its a tummy filler for a cheap budget. The mini tacos are $1 each and are served up with 2 mini corn tortillas then practically overfilled with the meat of your choice. After adding the toppings such as cilantro, salsa, guacamole, chiles etc those 2 mini corn tortillas can end up making 2 tacos for every one taco you order so (5 mini tacos fully topped off = 10 mini tacos) make sure to try the asada and pastor meats, guaranteed to satisfy! The juice bar/fruit bar - here you can get freshly squeezed juice of your choice and the fruit bar is where you can get a cup of freshly sliced fruits of your choice done up mexican style with lemon, salt, and chili to give you that sweet, sour, and spicy zing to your everyday fruit. Salsa and cheese bar - pretty much self explanatory. You can get freshly made salsas and cheese by the pound here without having to spend hours in the kitchen prepping it all up on your own. Pay a visit to Arteaga's and you're bound to find something to satisfy your hunger for mexican food read more

The groceries are overpriced, they sell store brand items as well and seems to be higher priced, I bought bakery items twice with mold and one of the times they didn't want to return the item because I had thrown away my receipt but after much explaining, they finally did. I go here and there cause its nearby but rather drive to Safeway. read more

Just saw the produce guy take stepped on cilantro , off the floor, and restock it!! REALLY????

Worst service ive ever had this dumb f#*k served 10 people before she served us because these people were gonna give her something when they left. The way ive always received food is through a number system not by a kiss ass group tryna give u something. Your cooks should learn proper educate. all 3 wore b!#€# face as we told them it wasnt right manage your employees better. good day to u sir. read more

Arteaga's is like Mi Pueblo, which means...its great! Fresh, warm tortillas made every day. Homemade salsa, guac and burritos in the tauqueria section. OMG the pan dulce selection is huge too and priced right. The candy selection is my favorite, im in heaven and wish i had an Arteagas where i lived! Grrrr. read more

This place is bomb digs. No fear of the Mexican store if you are just passing by....Taqueria is bomb digs!!! So is the bakery. They are usually accomodating if you don't see what you want, just ask. NOMNOMNOM read more

This review is only for the meat dept. I was recently at another store trying to buy some carne asada for a party and was disappointed when they told me they ran out. I was a little worried because I didn't know where to go that was good. I thought of this place and reluctantly bought it here. I am very picky about marinades but when I cooked and served it I received compliments form everyone and they all wanted to know where I bought it. Needless to say, I will be buying my carne asada from here from now on. It is about a dollar more per pound than the other place but it was well worth the money! It was delicious! read more

Very clean and friendly staff. Their taco meat is better than Chavez and Fresco. Keep it up!

Arteaga's Catering department is amazing! I booked them for my wedding last June and they were super quick to respond to emails, made the process easy, and were a great price. The day of the wedding they came and set up with very little guidance on our part, the food was delicious, and everyone was happy! I'll be booking them for future parties as well, highly recommend! read more
