Wow this is a super El Super. The panaderia is amazing. I haven't seen apple tarts or some of this stuff anywhere else. This is like grocery store number 2 or 3 in Wilmington. I would shop here of all places. The meat market has some good options too. Weirdly enough the lady did not know how to count in any language even when I held up my fingers. The universal symbol for one is the index finger is it not. Idk. She guessed 3, 4, then finally gave me 2 pork chops. Oh well. read more

Service was bad I had bought 6 wings and they weren't fresh I had ask for fresh ones and they said they couldn't make fresh ones I asked if I was able to change it for something around the price range and the lady said no she was being extremely rude then I asked for the manager and he wasn't even helping had went to taste the wings with no gloves and then when I asked for her name she said that she couldn't give it to me so I stayed and recorded her they are very unprofessional and very rude I don't now reccomond just go to the food 4 less across the street read more

This store is always nasty. Yesterday I went to get some chicken and the cashier took her hands from the inside of her pants SMELLED HER FINGERS then thought she was going to touch my chicken breasticles I've never showed out in public before but I straight up lost it yesterday at register 4. Nasty coochie fingers all over that mf place ‍ I'm going to sprouts from now on read more

They have good sales on veggies and meats sometimes. You just have to stalk the weekly specials. Tried the pupusas...I forget what it's called, but the one with the beans, chicarron and pork. It was ok. I've had better. It has been sitting there a while so it wasn't fresh. $2.99 for one. That is all.... read more

Usually enjoy coming here for the great deals on Wednesday until today. They had tomatoes advertised but it looked like they were out. So I asked for a rain check and they said they don't hand them out on Wednesday. Which in the past I never had this issue before. Anyways I thanked them and left without making a scene but I did file a report with the federal trade commission to investigate the matter. The employees are all great. And the produce. The meat and bakery are not the best. read more

!!!!Beware!!!! Red flags everywhere! Do not buy prepackaged shrimp who knows how long it's been sitting on shelf! I just witnessed tag switching and from the picture the manager was taking the tags off! Wow I wonder what else they sell that is old and expired eww read more

If you're looking for inexpensive prices and a variety of Mexican groceries this place is great. Checking out can take you 1/2 hour. The cashiers are slow and like a Food For Less you bag your own food. I got ingredients for a pork stew and my bill came to $10! Worth the wait? Hmmm dunno read more

(By all means read this review but if you need to go to El Super just go to the Long Beach location!!) The prices and selection of Mexican products is what drew me to this store, even though the parking lot is sketchy as hell and the parking spots are way too close together. I put up with it but I've had 2 bad experiences with the meat department. Service wise the ladies and gentlemen behind the counter do their job. Are they butchers, from what I found out NO! I asked for 60 pieces of chicken because of all the markets in this area they have the cleanest freshest chicken. I get home and on both accounts I'm short a few pieces. The first time no big deal, I just go get what's missing. But the second time they gave me everything in a box and assured me it was all there. So I call and they tell me to take the box back. After packing everything up and driving back they tell me they can't do anything about it. So I asked what was the point of asking me to take it back? If I decided to return the chicken according to them it's trash. They can't sell it. So I tell them the ladies swore it was all there. So the manager tells me it's my responsibility to know if the ladies working behind the meat counter know what they are doing and know how to do their job. If you've come this far re read that last sentence. At that moment I told him I was not aware that the people behind the counter were not trained to do their jobs correctly. So on top of blaming me for what happened he tells me my 2 options are to take the chicken back home and buy what I need again or they would give me a refund and throw away the chicken. So I asked for my money back and bought the chicken elsewhere. read more

I am taking into consideration the covid-19 allowances in my review : Well before covid-19, the security guard who stands at the door, short bald man, has a custom of denying customers entry if you arrive 10 to 15 minutes before the closing time posted on the door. One time, I arrived 14 minutes before closing time posted on the door and the Security Guard told me NO! Closed! I pointed at the store hours posted on the door and he waved me away like a fly. I walked back to my car and saw two women dressed like they were going to a bar at the door speaking to the guard. The guard pulled up a shopping cart and let them in as he bowed to them. (Royalty? Queen of the Ghetto? Maybe) Yesterday, I arrived just before closing time and the guard did not let me in. I pointed at the store hours posted on their door and advised him that they need to change the Store Hours on the door and on Google because Google stated that they were still OPEN. TIP: - Go to Food 4 Less down the street. A person employed by Food 4 Less will lock the door and advise you that you have a limited time until closing. The Security guard at food 4 Less does not choose who gets to enter if within the 15 minute period before closing time posted. . Security only watches for loss by theft. read more

This review is just for the restaurant part of the store! Bought a tamale! Which I was eating in the restaurant, was charged .50c for salsa. Again GTFO! Come on people! read more

Meat section sucks. 15-20 minutes to get attended. !!! They need more people. Or people needs to move a little faster..

Many good deals & options ! I love shopping here they have a variety of many things ! Their bakery is AWESOME ! 3 leches cake is SO GOOD ! As far as the cashiers they act as the bags are coming out their pocket. Don't seem like they wanna be there. They need to work on their customer service even manager was rude too maybe they need to start with her ! read more

Pretty good place to get groceries. A bit cheaper than the more popular super markets. The store has been going through renovations since about 2-3 months. They took over the previous store Valu Plus. They have lots of good deals on many of there products on a weekly basis. If you are looking specifically for Latin products then this is the place to go. They have a lot. From cheese to soda and candy. They also have a tortilla shop inside the store, so if you want to spend less money on tortillas you can buy the store brand they are good. They also have a butcher shop inside if you want specific types of meat. My only issue with this store is the parking. It's not great. It's a bit small since they share parking with like 9-10 other small stores. Check this place out. read more

El Super - Logo - Grocery Near Me - Wilmington, California

The worst market in town! Super dirty, the meat department smells HORRIBLE, the line to check out is ridiculous! Three cashiers only. The parking lot is full of shopping carts! SERIOUSLY, WHO'S RUNNING THIS PLACE. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT TO THE COMMUNITY. They deserve better. I live in Long Beach and was passing by Wilmington, the El Super in downtown Long Beach is better. Even if the area is worse. LAST TIME I SHOP HERE!!! read more

Does anyone else love checking out grocery stores or super markets when visiting other places? I have this strange little love for doing just that, but especially in a different country or neighborhood than my own. El Super was a fun place to visit. I've gotten very familiar with Mexican markets over the years, and El Super has a reasonably good selection of items at a good price. For example, the small ass avocados are 5 for $.99 (See photo). Along with fresh produce, there is a nice selection of ready made ceviches, salsas and beautiful looking cakes and pastries. If I lived near here, I'd be a regular. this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Their meat is so rotten and smells so bad, l was holding a pack of meat and the blood was dripping so l grabbed a paper towel and hand sanitizer to wipe my hand out, and it smelled so gross! Another lady also told me she had left her meat because it smelled nasty will never go back in there l ended up going to food for less instead! read more

Why do I keep coming here? Their line to pay is so ridiculously long - I've called their hotline several time to address the issue but yet I have not heard from them. I would give them a 5 star for their produce, meat, and bakery departments but their customer service (cashier area) is horrible!!! read more

The absolute worst customer service in the hot food department. They always ignore the customers and people constantly cut you. Also the lady with the mustache is extra rude. Don't ever come here. Ever. Mustache lady is Maria. read more

Worse place in the area. Dirty, nasty, and freezers have not been cleaned since it opened. I've seen better parking lots in a war zone. Service was horrid. Check out took more than 20min followed by a racist employee that hurled insults at us. Place needs to be torn down and salt sewed into the ground so nothing ever grows here again. read more

Worst parking lot around! Not worth the door dings to try and shop here. They are the sub compact size, did this stupid company really make out by not using 1 or 2 spaces divided into the other spaces and make it easy to park, just lost a couple hundred dollar sale, now down the street at Food for Less. read more

I ordered a cake for my sons first birthday party and I need the cake to be picked up by 9am. I ordered this cake on monday of the week prior to party and left all the decorations for cake with a pick up time for 9:00am. So Saturday sept. 10 comes 9am for pick up the cake is no way near ready. The lady ask me to wait 30 mins and the cake will be ready irritated I say ok. I walk back in a little after 9:30 to get the cake and she is still decorating it. I didn't leave the store with my cake until 10:00am an hour later. Completely not happy as I had tables and chairs delivered to my house at 10 that I was not home to receive. My sons party started at 11:00. This delay from the bakery here made me get off my schedule by an hour. I was given a flan cake for time exhausted waiting on cake to be completed, but that do not help the fact that I was late start my sons party because of this delay. I was told they forgot about making my cake which was paid for in advance. read more

Normally i shop at this market but due to their really bad costumer service i dont any more. People there dont care at it all about costumers. They always give you attitude. And to top it off manager (fat guy) does it know to do his job. If you ever go to this market be ready to waist your time and get angry. I just recommend to shop somewhere else evenh if you pay a little more but it is gonna be worth it. read more
