So given that the two most recent reviews were a year apart, i cant sit and believe that no one…read moreelse in the yelp community has since visited this place. Ok so without further ado always remember that everyone's experience when visiting any established business will and more than likely differ from everyone elses visit. Just because you had a bad day doesnt mean that the next one behind you did. So todays date is Jan 1, 2023. I had visited Carillos Mexican Store because i couldnt find any normal chorizo that wasnt soy from any of the markets here in redding. So when i came across this establishment of course i was giddy with excitement as being from southern california there is no shortage of mexican markets out there. So naturally i was a feeling the blues when i transferred and move up here for work along every single of my co-workers recommendation on where the best authentic al-pastor is, well then youre kinda talking to yourself into thinking soyrizo cant be that bad can it? but thats not the point im trying to make here. What i am trying to point out is that i totally forgot the date of visit so this is pretty much a flashback dream review from memory and yeah you know what this store may not be as pretty or have the traditional décor that you normally see in Santa Ana or Los Angeles, but its intimate enough for one to get know the owner or staff members which is always a plus for youre looking something in particular and the way to get it is through a mexican markets connections, dont believe give it a try see how it works out. Carillos Mexican Store may not be the vision of what everyone assumes or thinks what a mexican store should be but thats ok because in there you find the big can of menudo or every single ingredient youll need to make it yourself, they may not have the widest collection of household cleaning supplies but at least one bottle of fabuloso will suffice and just because safeway say that their coca-cola is authentic doesnt mean it was made with pure cane sugar like the ones they have down past the mexican border and just like the ones youll see displayed and ready for purchase at Carillos Mexican Store. Now being that im from southern california i will admit that when it comes to buying meats and chicken to cook on or off the grill. i am spoiled i can either go around the corner for some bomb tacos or i can drive to wherever and purchase the best al-pastor, in my opinion of course, and just be happy for the rest of my life. So when i saw the carniceria section i will admit, it wasnt what i was expecting, but the choices werent bad either and even though the dispaly for the meats counter looked like something out the texas massacre's gas station store display case, i didnt hesitate to pick up the seasoned chick and 2 pounds of chorizo, and with all the other little snacks and hair care product (moco de gorilla) i walked out of there not only with 4 bags worth of groceries but with a sense of comfort now knowing that if i ever need my fix of pulparindo's or japanese style peanuts i dont have to drive 7.5 hrs away to manifest it.. Finally i can only tell you how i felt and the experience that i had received when i had purchased from Carillos Mexican Store. The only thing i can suggest if you decide to visit is keep an open mind, its not gonna be all of mexico in there but im sure youll find that little mexican dish for tonights dinner or the saturday night bbq with friends or the neighbor. .

I love a little gem in Redding - encouraging my fellow Yelpers to give this place a try, you won't be disappointed!

I've always thought of it as more of a convenience store but I honestly found the prices to be very competitive if not better than some of our local choices. BTW Have you seen the meat? We picked up a couple of New Yorks for under 10 bucks each and they were delicious! I have been going there two three times a week now, it's nice when you feel like somebody actually wants you to shop there.

I figured while I was nearby I should peruse this place. Its super tiny, but have most of the items you would be looking for in a place like this; purple rice (which is what I stopped in for), pocky, dried dates, duck, noodles, garlic chili paste, etc. I'm not really sure how much English the female clerk speaks, but she was still really friendly. The only reason they didn't get the fifth star is because there was no produce and all of their meat products were frozen. I always like to support ethnic markets because lets face it, Redding is not the most diverse place and "variety is the spice of life." Spice up your life and diet and stop in.
