Love coming here for all my Mexican food antojos aka cravings. When I want to make pozole or chicken soup (caldo de pollo) or do a Sunday Carne Asada- this is my Go-To place for all the Mexican goodies! I get my meat, queso fresco, veggies to grill or throw in a caldo or whateves! Prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly and always helpful. TONS of beer and alcohol choices and in the back they sell tacos. I've never ordered the hot food but it seems quite busy when I go so it must be good. Unsure if they sell of stuff like burritos etc - I get the uncooked stuff and take home. It can be busy on the wkds so I recommend going at night or week days. Worth it read more

Went today and they didn't honor the coupon they had in the local coupon book I got last week. Coupon expires on August 14th, today is July 26th. Unfortunately they lost my business. Won't be going out of my way to come here anymore. read more

Five Star Market - a receipt for five star market - Grocery Near Me - Escondido, California

See all

5 Star Market has been around Escondido for what, some 20+ years? Anyone claiming to know a place for carne asada meat in this town has to have 5 Star on their list. 5 Star Market is just that, a neighborhood market of a Latin variety. They have a little bit of everything including a small indoor taco grill. The store sells fresh produce, fresh dairy, canned goods, chips, beer and soda, an assortment of liquor. Naturally what they are know for is their meat counter. Friendly service great advice and good carne is what one will get here. It can be a $1 a pound more than another place in town, but generally the cuts of meat are much better. Anyway, tastes will be varied. Usually go here at least once a month. read more

Rude cashiers they feel like owners, no respect for customers. he owner needs to his employees to chage their way ri talk to customers, cause we like to go ther but not for the cashiers. read more

The worst market ever! Bad management! The meat goes bad after a day of buying and they still want to make an excuse for why the meat goes bad. All I wanted was my money back and they didn't wanna refund me all the money that I worked for and payed for... I didn't ask for store credit all I asked was for my money back. Horrible customer service ever ! Always check your dates when you buy meat from here , they been using the wrong dates! read more

Five Star Market - I bought the meat on may 29, 2022 and why are they putting the wrong dates! Disgusting! - Grocery Near Me - Escondido, California

Most of the time I like this place but I came here to cash a check and let me say I guess a lot of people come here to cash fake checks cause they treated me like a criminal I will never cash a check here again lol but then they again I have a Id so I took my check to the bank and had no problem but if you have no papers this is the correct place for you to cash your check and I've seen them do it with a smile and no problem . read more

This place is literally the best. The other reviews are trash. The parking lot can be a mess, but it's Escondido, what do you expect? This isn't Walmart. The produce has lots of potential, nothing is completely perfect unless you know what you're looking for. Don't buy their meat or dairy, according to some previous reviews-- and in my experience, just stick to the basics and you'll spend so little on a couple delicious meals. They have local fresh fruit around this time of year, I've come upon the most beautiful guava, pomegranate, persimmon, papaya, potatoes, citrus, and pitaya. This place had made my day a couple times now with these things. Tortillas fresh and a plenty. read more

I love this place. You can see the machinery in the back, so you know they are cutting the meat like real butchers. Their flank steak for carne asada was $7.50, but they let you pick any cut and they will season it for you. They had a cut that looked like a thin sliced boneless rib eye for $5 a pound. It was the most tender, flavourful carne asada that I have ever had. They also have a decent selection of craft beer for a really good price. I got a 22oz Dawn of the Red for $5.50. I love this place. read more

Five Star Market - Grocery Near Me - Escondido, California

We recently moved to Escondido and with Cinco de Mayo upon us we're on the hunt for a good Mexican market. Luckily one night at our apartment grill we met a lady grilling the most delicious smelling chicken. She told us about 5 star market. So we gave it a visit today. As a San Diego girl that doesn't speak any Spanish (I know big regret) sometimes I'm a little nervous walking into a market. Not today. Everyone was so helpful and the men behind the meat counter were so friendly and helpful. Now my family is looking forward to celebrating the holiday tomorrow. Cannot wait to try the meats, cheeses, homemade guacamole, fresh tortillas, and freshly made salsa. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Good time to everyone. I feel I have the need to let you guys know about my resent experience at this store and have to say its ok market for a quick stop grab and go, but if you need to buy more than a few groceries go to a bigger market since at this store the price is a little hi. Passing to another matter today I visited the store and had the worst ever there and let me tell you what is their problem and it is that the clerks dress as if they were in a fashion show or a competition of who looks best and because of that threat customers with so little attention or courtesy and sometimes even don't even acknowledge the customer like he or she deserves. I came forward to pay and wanted cash back so I let her know but she don't even looked at me so before I ran my card I reminded her that I needed cash back and she said yes run your card and the way she directed her self to me was very disrespectful as if she was the last Coca-Cola of the desert if you know what I mean, so when I was about to ok my transaction I notice that she had not inputted my amount for cash back and told her that she didn't do what I asked her to do because she was not putting attention and she started saying of excusing her self in a very offensive way wow I said. Customer is always right and the least she could have done is said sorry but that never happen. it was so bad to the point that I had to drop my stuff and walk out. Never going back again very disrespectful clerks I have better service at Northgate and ratter go there 24/7. read more

Lady behind the glass is a HUGE B**** if you aren't Mexican like her. How are you going to be super friendly to the woman before me but a complete C*** to me when I greet you with a smile? As minorities we should be kind to one another--Your ugliness is showing lady. read more

Well this place can get a guy like me out of a hurry in a quickness. If i need cheap dog food fast, if i want some made tacos, if i need an emergency beer, and so much more. However i dont come here by choice but because it is im walking distance of my place. The vegetables are old (i tried looking for a good avocado but they were all trash). I just left that place because we needed sour cream and to my disbelief every single sour cream in stock was expired! What!? The tacos are pretty good tho. Dog or cat meat i dont care, its all about the seasoning. The neighborhood is terrible though. I should know, i live around here. So you will have the occasional neighborhood wino ask for a dollar. Dont be greedy, give it to them, its the onlu way their wife can get them off the couch for a while. Parking is terrible btw! read more

This place is the best for meat. They have amazing Carne Asada in multiple types of flat meat. They speak both english and spanish, so people need not be intimidated by the mostly hispanic patron traffic. I have shopped here for 5 years, lived in escondido for 43. This place is awesome! read more

The Aracherra is the best! The lady that mentioned carne asada con preperada didn't know it was aracherra! I haven't found another place that prepares it the same anywhere read more

Always have fresh produce here. Lots of it, too. Staff is generally very friendly as well. I can't speak on the meats or anything like that, but it does seem like they do have a large variety catering to Hispanic themed food. read more

I'm surprised this place has no reviews! I was told by a friend to try their tacos so I did just that tonight. Let me tell you, I fell completely in love with this place. This market has the best tacos ever! They have so many kinds to choose from too like buche, cabeza, carne asada, chicken, birria mmmmmm! Best of all, they are super cheap too! They also have great deals on produce and a meat dept. I highly recommend this little hole in the wall market. read more

Five Star Market - Best tacos in the world. - Grocery Near Me - Escondido, California

Bought some expired moldy chicken nuggets from here..customer service sucks..if i can guve zero stars i would.

If you haven't tried the prepared carne asada from this place it's a must! Best carne asada in town!

Place rocks big time! the tacos are amazing customer service is not the best but the food makes up for that

First and foremost if i could i would rate this place with 0 stars. The only reason why i went here was because the meat selection and quality is fairly good, other than that the coustomer service sucks here. The two females that work at the register in the front have no interest in providing good customer service, being courteous and act stuck up. Not to forget but there are flies all over the front entrance and the "fresh" produce. In conclusion the not even the meat saves this place one bit with poor health standards and crappy cuatomer service. My advice, go somewhere else. read more

Tha cashiers are not nice they don't even say hi to you or thank you at the end ... and I don't appreciate. I like chop there but with cashiers like that I don even want go back read more

First of all there was alot of flys in the entrance but the meat department was great They were really friendly... But the cash register was rude and gave terrible customer service and she was very stuck up and i would rate her service a 0... Im never going back there again read more
