We bought a 4 pack of meat for $20 and were impressed with quality. Staff was friendly and helpful. Prices were reasonable and selection is good. The cold display case next to where they make chips was disgustingly dirty though. read more

I stopped at Food City for a few tomatoes, pinto beans and bell peppers. All the items I wanted were on sale. Yes! Prices that you remember from a year ago. Happy to get deals. Shared parking spaces. read more

This store is right next to our gym so it's super convenient to pop in here and get fresh items when I need them. Although prices have risen recently, I am still finding that they have the better deals on veggies. Everything has been super fresh, the employees are friendly and it's well stocked. If you want any Fresh items, make sure to hit up the fresh salsa bar at the front of the store. read more

I don't know what heaven smells like, but I'd wager it's pretty close to the bakery at this Food City! The scent of warm pan dulce, sweet bread with names as pretty as their colors, pulls you in like a front porch breeze on a hot day. There's a kind of comfort here, the kind that makes you slow down and grab a tray, even if you just came in for milk. Conchas, golden and soft with sugar-crusted tops, sit beside orejas that flake just right, and cuernitos that feel like they've been kissed by the sun. And then, the aguas frescas, lord, have mercy. Cold as a desert creek and twice as sweet. The horchata is like sipping summer from a glass, and the jamaica tastes like someone steeped joy into water. It's not fancy. It's not trying to be. It's just right! read more

This location makes the worst tamales on the planet. There is hardly any chicken just all masa. Extremely disappointing and a waste of money. They look like nothing like what is being advertised. Ugh. read more

The WHOLE meat department (at this location) needs to be replaced with workers that will help customers regardless of what race or ethnicity they are this is the 4TH time I've gone there and been treated like its a chore to help me. I would like to speak with a district manager about ways to improve the lack of customer service for interacting non Hispanic looking people. I found a carniceria near my house that got me in and out in 5 with way more customers waiting. This location has a problem and they need to address it read more

Great customer service by the young lady at the self check out !!!! She went above and beyond to help us with our purchase and recommended offers the store had regarding sales on sodas. She was good at multitasking helping guest at self check out with a positive attitude and friendly. I didn't get to catch her name but our visit was Saturday 4/19 @ 9:07 am read more

You don't have to be a butcher or work in a meat dept. to see that this meat's been tampered with. I purchase this meat on the 26th and opened the package on the 27th. The sell-by date was the 31st, but this meat has obviously been packaged and then repackaged at least once. You can tell by the darkness and discoloration of the meat, also there was fresh blood inside the package. They meat also had a snotty film on it and it smelled off. They tampered with it. I tried feeding it to my dog and he turned his nose at it, and he's not picky! You got me for $15 Food City, but it will never happen again. I'd drive to Mesa to avoid shopping in your store ever again. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with Food City, but I have been coming here on a regular basis to buy frozen menudo now that I rather cook it myself than pay for overpriced and inconsistent menudo at restaurants. Usually the price is $1.99 per pound for the frozen one cut in cubes, and $3.99 for the honeycomb type. Both are good but I personally prefer the cubed one, not sure what is the name. The only issue is that some times they sell me a bunch of cubes of ice... It is still good but does not make me feel good as a customer, lol. Oh well. I will have to keep putting up with this until I find a better option. Staff is usually nice and friendly, bot at the meat department and at the registers. read more

The produce and service is great. The manager with the curly hair was a great help! Come here and please treat her with kindness and kisses

"Gracias por comprar en Food City." If you have shopped here then you know what I mean. They have toilet paper right now so there is that. Overall it's a decent store and if you need something for Mexican cuisine you can probably find it here. read more

Sort of dirty and I felt very unsafe. I hurried in and out. Maybe I will try another location.

3.5 STARS. Good place to find all sort of spices, chili peppers and hard to find produce when making an authentic meal from Mexico City. Owned by the same family that owns Basha's and AJ's. This is their lower end market designed for people on a cheaper budget. You may have to pick through the produce or the meats a little bit to find what you need or want. They get the funny looking pieces or shapes that the upper end stores may not want to carry in their displays. Picked up some Poblano Peppers and some Mexican Cheese to make Chili Rellenos, some hulled pumpkin seeds, tomatoes, and habenero peppers to make a Yucatecan Pumpkin Seed dip. Goes good with some Jicama that you can slice thin to use as chips for the dip. Also the ingredients to make Chicken Tinga Tostados which is shredded chicken mixed into a blended sauce made with tomato, onion, garlic, and chipotle in adobo sauce. Don't forget some Cotija Cheese to crumble on top for that restaurant look and taste. They also have a fun bakery with lots of Mexican goodies and an area off to the side that makes tortillas fresh while you watch. Not where we usually shop but they have what it takes to reproduce several of Rick Bayless's famous authentic recipes in his cookbooks. Located right next to the Greenway Square. Es bueno tener cuidado! read more

The registers are always understaffed and the inside of the store seems to always be dirty; whether it's a spill on the floor or sticky liquid all over the food and drinks. It's almost never a "quick trip inside". read more

Pork here is disgusting, made our house smell like S. Bought costillitas and I should've thrown it away right off the bat but cooked it and it immediately threw off a rotten smell. Bought carne pastor, the first time it the meat had bones no biggie, we bought again and it made out house smell like pig ass. Never buying pork there again, be careful. Tortillas are pretty good and the produce there is good quality and good price. 2 stars read more

I L-O-V-E this store!!! First of all, if you are looking for Mexican ingredients that you can't find elsewhere, come here. If you want yummy cakes and treats, come here. If you want friendly staff and great prices, come here! Really, just come here for any reason! Also, shout out to Chad in the bakery! He was so nice, funny, and helpful that he just about made my day. Promote him now!! read more

Bring back the OLD Food City. I visit many stores weekly (Sprouts, Whole Foods, Safeway etc) I visit Food City for chilies, tortillas and sometimes produce. I visited on 6/21/17, absolutely a disgrace that this store is selling rotten fruit and produce to the general public. I purchased 3 whole corns in the husk, returned home and found rotting in 2 and worms in the 3rd. Bag of small apples purchased, all had scaring and bruises on them. You can witness squash, lettuce, beets actually displayed rotting in front of the customer. Since these stores are owned by Bashas, I am just assuming the produce from other high end stores are being sent to Food City when they have reached a point of not sell able. I could also be wrong Personally, I think the store manager and produce manager should be immediately replaced. If contamination is this obvious to the customer, I can just imaging what the meat and bakery section is like. Prepare to wait in line a LONG time, not enough check out people and when there are, VERY slow. No kidding, at least a 30 minute wait. Clean your act up! read more

I am a recent Food City convert. I used to only go when I needed hominy in bulk and couldn't find it in the grocery store. I now shop here on a much more regular basis for 2 reasons. 1. Cheap ass produce. Seriously 8 cucumbers for $1 and 3 pounds of roma tomatoes for $1. Ridiculous. I have a juicer so we use A LOT of produce and Food City has 80% cheaper produce than any other grocery stores in the state. 2. Cheap ass spices - I recently made Puerco pibil and needed Anchiote, I found it for $2 in a small bag. The only other store I found that carried it was charging over $12, no lie. So I can't vouch for the rest of the store, but if you need spices or produce the is THE SPOT! read more

Food City is your typical latino market..I grew up in Northern NJ, where we had a million littlle spots that looked just like this one. The exception, is there is very little south american or carribbean labels..until now. I've had a hard time adjusting to food shopping in AZ-I've searched far and wide because most products are geared toward the Mexican population, which I totally get, but hey, there are other latinos out here too! I walk into Food City, and I'm totally overwhelmed with joy-they now carry most of the Goya line. For us east coast latinos...it's a blessing like you wouldn't believe. Sure, the prices are inflated compared to back east (why is nectar goya almost $2?!), but being able to buy them local vs having my relatives ship me boxes of Goya products is fantastic!! Thank you Food City, for realizing other latinos need our Goya stuff :) read more

So,I've been coming to this food city for the past couple days.I'm glad they are remodeling! I bet it will look great but the one thing I'm most certainly concerned about are the bathrooms.why aren't they doing anything to them? My question? Why! I've told several managers that it needs to be cleaned as it still looks the same as the past days I've been coming...sadly they aren't doing anything.I'm disgust of food city.someone should honestly call the health department.I mean,I don't blame the maintenance worker who doesn't want to clean it! Is disgusting! Food city please keep up! That makes your store nasty. read more

Having now visited the rest of the shop, I can say the meat is very reasonably priced. I go here to buy pork shoulder and pig fat for my sausages and it's always good value. Wide selection of different cuts and offal that main stream supermarkets don't stock. Did I mention they sell Inca Cola? There are only two countries in the world that have a soft drink that out sells Coca Cola. One is Peru (Inca Kola) The other is Scotland (Irn Bru) read more

This Food City is a great location for east valley residents looking for good deals on produce, meats, and authentic Mexican groceries. Wide aisles, clean smelling, and chock full of Mexican food that anyone who is cooking Mexican food or is simply looking for good prices on high quality produce should check it out. On a side note, the chicken soup we make at home just isn't the same without cooking the broth with chicken feet. In the past, I've had to shlep all the way to the east valley or way into Glendale (or Chandler) to get them, but Food City has them. Parking lot can be a bit cramped, but otherwise there is no reason not to go there read more

The food city really needs to make some changes, i used to go there every day and buy fresh vegetables, for juicing,, I have spoke to several managers about this, they only have twi check out line is in use, so can you imagine having a handful of fruit, but the lady in front of me has a basket full of poultry and pork chops, and has enough food to survive an Alaskan winter,, Good luck fighting the lines and the slow service, Once you get in the food city, they move at thier own pace, , get a express check out, read more

Is this a hidden gem? My friend told me about Food City and I think I owe her big. I do not have a garden and love avocados, tomatoes, garlic, limes, and fresh herbs. Prices have skyrocketed at other grocery stories sometimes with avocados retailing at $2.50. The prices here were insane (and in a good way)! Where to begin? Pineapples - 3lbs for 99 cents Avocados - 4 for 89 cents Cilantro - 89 or 69 cents Garlic - I think close to the same as the avocados Lime - 4 for 69 cents Fresh restaurant style tortillas and chips for bargain pricing. Tres Leches cake that was out of this world! read more

There's a lot of racism amongst the cashiers. There's an older cashier with glasses she's Hispanic and she told another cashier in Spanish that she didn't like white people and proceeded to point out a white family who had came into the store. They then spent several minutes pointing and speaking about the family. ((Most people speak Spanish so maybe you shouldn't openly talk about your racism)) and when I asked to see a manager to my surprise he was one of them the lady was whispering with his name was Jorge. read more

Food City has great prices on produce, BUT they don't rotate the produce, and when you reach in to grab something your hand literally goes through rotten produce. This happens every time! It doesn't matter what it is, chilies, cantaloupe, bell peppers, tomatillos, half the produce is rotten. And don't get me started on the pre-packed meat. I grabbed a package of thin sirloin steak from the fridge and the entire bottom of the tray was covered in blood. And there's no paper towels or sanitizer wipes available for customers. Get it together Food City. read more

I bought fish fillets n looked the label indicates shrimp patties tortitas de camaron but inside the take out box is fish filletsn they charged me too much $5.11 for 4 small pieces of fish fillet i express my concern to the store director Ramona she to told me the machine label cannot print the right product. Thats why they used another label then dont sell the product.this is not acceptable. See pictures please watch what you buy and the price they charged you please make sure what they put on the machine is the product your buying n also the price..there should be check and balance. Just saying...over charging and fraud to customers. read more

If you are looking for Southwestern/Mexican/Latino ingredients at a killer price - look no further. They have all the spices and peppers you want. They have all the meat selections you probably won't find at the other supermarkets (tongue/hooves/oxtail). Plenty of queso brands and styles. They have a tortilleria, and their salsa frescas are pretty good. Now, if I could just get down there before they sell out of Xtra-hot Hatch chiles, I'd be happy. Those puppies go fast! read more

I enjoy going to this location to buy fresh fruit and their freshly made tortilla chips. The prices for their fruit is way cheaper than other places as well as their jalapenos. I don't really buy the groceries as they do seem to be a little higher than other stores, but their produce department gets two thumbs up from me. read more

I KNEW there had to be a good Mexican grocery somewhere in North Phoenix. With Yelp's help I checked out 3 carnicerias but they all disappointed. Finally I found Food City!!! This place has really good marinated meats that are ready for the BBQ. It's also a full-serve supermarket with an in-store bakery, fresh vegetables, etc. The staff is very friendly and they speak very good english. This will definitely be our go-to place anytime we need more than the usual supermarket's idea of Mexican ingredients. read more

Just moved from Oregon...everything is a good deal at this grocery store. Still amazed that food can be this cheap. Love it here!

This store is iffy. It always looks so dirty and downtrodden. Veggies are so so and there's no way in hxel i'd buy any of their meat. They had this frozen food case that you look down into. It needed to be defroster cleaned or something it was disgusting. I'll run in there if I need something quick but to do regular shopping no way. Basha, you should be ashamed read more
