The service is poor and the prices are unreasonably high. The deli or Mexican food items are average at best. Avoid the tamales--they're terrible, and the establishment refuses to take responsibility for the subpar quality. Overall, it's clear they simply don't care. Typical Latin establishment. Owners do not have experience to run a business. read more

This place is way overpriced! Three times the amount for sugar!! What a rip off. How can you stay in business??

I come here to get my marinated carne asada and chicken, meat has great flavor. Butchers are great. Meat is fresh and flavorful. I also get my queso fresco here. A little pricier than Rancho San Miguel but WAY better flavor and the convenience of a small grocery store. I have ordered from the deli they have inside and the rice is so good. I've gotten tacos, quesadillas and tamales. Food is great and the ladies working are always really friendly. read more

I've come here for many years and love it. Staff is always super friendly, the store is clean, and the produce and meat is fresh and good. Would recommend! read more

Nice store and some of the cashiers are fine as hell. The quesadilla and burrito i bought in the food court are tasty but the portions are a bit skimp compared to anywhere else read more

Rigo's chicken (red marinade) is the way to go for grill chicken. This comes off the grill tender, tasty and juicy. The kids in our family are very picky eaters but they love this chicken. If you're hosting a BBQ, your money will go a long way here to feed the masses. The staff is friendly and helpful. I made a mistake one time on the type of meat that I ordered and, after they had cut and prepared my order, they let me backtrack and order the correct item and were very nice about it. read more

I like this store and can get pretty good stuff from it. I also enjoy looking at their jewlery, and bought some stuff from it.

This well stocked neighborhood store has everything one needs to make delicious Mexican food, including hard to find varieties of dried chiles. The staff of ladies is very friendly, gracious, and quite tolerant of my substandard Spanish. This neighborhood gem is not to be overlooked! read more

Please don't shop here. They were expensive before COVID, but now it's just ridiculous! Went today because I needed some meat, and was just going to pick up some other things I needed at home. $9.00 for a gallon of milk, Like wtf. Just go somewhere else because they suck!!! read more

Always come here to get their marinated chicken. It is simply the best. Very reasonable price and and quite tasty on the grill. For $20 you can feed an army and your guests will think that you're Gordon Ramsey. read more

If I could give this 'business' a zero I would I was craving menudo this morning bought some from the this place it was cold and only had tripe in it I made sure to take pictures and go back to get my money back what happened in the store was beyond unprofessional I three employees literally making every excuse to try not to give me my money back the worker from the kitchen was talking about me in Spanish thinking i didn't understand what she was saying boy was she wrong then a man along with some girl who worked their with winged eyeliner were prolonging me getting my money back I paid with my debit card same as cash the man wanted my card nope not happening you got paid at point of transaction my money is coming back to me same day as well then the girl tried getting to sign a promissory note not happening either this is unethical period I wouldn't send my worst enemy to that place period also winged eyeliner girl tried showing me a tiny sign that states the menudo doesn't come with hominy they purposely have so customer's can't see it They should be very ashamed of themselves Also to the kitchen lady I'm not desperate for money Fix your bad that you did period take responsibility shame on you read more

Their beef and chicken fajitas are my favorite. Also the Rigo's chicken thighs on the grill.

This place is a Mexican grocery store on steroids. Huge store with EVERYTHING! They have a deli with tons of choices, bakery with lots of different cakes and breads, carniceria, etc. The produce is fresh, cheap, and abundant. The aisles are wide, organized, and well-lit. La Mexicana also has marinated meats and seafoods ready to go-marinated carne asada.. For sure! This is a great one-stop shop, and it most definitely won't disappoint. read more

I went to the bakery section, very little selection and whatever "fresh " Mexican bread they had was not fresh at all. It was stale and hard. I also purchase 1/2 of dozen of tamales but seems like they're old and just reheated. The masa was not too soft. The only thing I'd say that was fresh was the asada burrito $8.99 ok size . read more

10/10 Food is delicious homemade, the customer service was amazing. The kitchen staff were very nice, Angelica who was working that day took my order and was very quick to hand me my order. Would definitely go back. I am recommending to all my friends. read more

Great market and friendly staff they are always fast and courteous. I love their Rigo Chicken! Ever since I was introduced to it I use it in almost all of my chicken meals. Delicious! The store is clean and organized and they always have what I am looking for. Thank you!! read more

i will never buy from this Deli again! first off the foods not that great but i was tired just released from the hospital and thought oh well i'll stop here! My mistake, I got a quart of chili verde/pork, chicken, rice, bean, 4 chili rellenos = yuck! $73 dollars. The server told me after everything was pack they charge the meat dishes by the pound! i told her okay i'll pay but never again! I'll go to Rancho San Miguel from now on! Overpriced, lacks flavor, ripping off community customers! read more

Always clean store way before covid and the deli has very good food and in my neighborhood awesome meat counter also

Looking to make tamales? This is the place to go for all the supplies - corn husks to cooker. Plus they have really delicious sides like rice, beans, veggies etc. Food is good Staff is friendly and helpful Bilingual Reasonable prices read more

For a local neighborhood Mexican market, this store was very clean and everything was in order. They have a nice butcher counter stocked with choice meats and a deli serving up the Mexican food basics...tacos, tortas, burritos, tamales, quesadillas, carnitas, etc..... Good place to get a good meal if you are in a hurry. Celi who work's the deli counter fixed me an order of tortas de carnitas and carne asada tacos to go. The torta melts in your mouth and the tacos were delicious and straight up Mexico. The store is small but the shelves are stocked with all the Mexican basics you'd expect to find. They have a small bakery case stocked with fresh Mexican pastries and bolillos. They do speak English so no worries there. This is one of the finest Mexican store I've been to and I recommend you check it out. read more

The Deli counter is the thing. A few small tables if you care to grab a quick bite there, or tacos, burritos and quesadilla, packed to go. A good quick alternative to the local fast food joint. read more

For being a neighborhood Mexican market, this place is superb. I love their fresh and fattening chicharrones from the meat market. Their selection at the meat market is very balanced for a small store. I love their deli and often come for lunch to get their burritos or tortas. Employees could practice their English speaking skills for the non-Spanish speaking folk like myself when they make the assumption that I will understand them. Just because I'm half Mexican doesn't mean I speak the language damn it! read more

Stumbled on this place a couple blocks away from my house. It's clean and friendly place. Two ladies in the front of the store greeted me and helped me find some delicious Mexican candy. Next time I'm here I will need to try some food at the Taqueria. read more

This review is about their deli counter, located in the far back left of the supermarket. I agree with Dave F.'s review, but I give it 4 stars because the deli counter is great for what it is: hearty and cheap Mexican food. I like to get sopes; they are $1.99 each and two is enough. One day I will try the chilaquiles. The store closes at 8pm, and the deli counter packs up about 15 minutes before that, so don't tarry. The staff at the counter will not make you feel embarrassed if you try to order in Spanish, even if you're a gringo like me. So I recommend giving it a try. read more

The staff is super nice, friendly, bilingual, helpful. The store is kept incredibly clean, paying attention to all the details. I can be pretty ocd about cleaning so I appreciated the day I founds them pulling all the grates in the deli and even cleaning the under parts. There's a deli/ meat counter with fresh salads and different marinated meats. Our favorite part is the taqueria in the back where you can order, well, you name it. Or you can order in bulk. We often buy things in bulk when entertaining for friends and do a build your own burrito bar. Carnitas, beans, rice, etc... read more

Their salsa here is pretty damn good, don't be afraid to ask for a sample at the back counter. I sure wish they had a better selection of pan dulce (mexican sweet bread) though. read more

Oh my god this place is awesome. It's a little pricey, but you definitely get what you pay for here. Super burrito is my favorite item on the menu, but their quesodillas are awesome. read more

I've had their menudo several times. It has really good flavor, a lot of tripe (little meat and no hominy) but that's the way I like it. The broth is so delicious! It tastes clean with just the right amount of spices, add the onions (I add more oregano when I get home) and to me it's perfect! The only sad part is they only serve this on weekends, so when I am craving menudo in the middle of the week, I have to wait. What I also like are the refried beans. It has good flavor (not bland at all). I buy a small container and use it as a bean dip with chips (potato or tortilla). Yummy! The girls are very friendly in the store. The guy behind the meat/cheese Dept is very attentive. I like this store! read more

i come here to get marinated chicken and some carne asada before BBQ's because I'm a bit lazy when it comes to potlucks. The deli is in the back of the store, and as already mention about 30 mins before closing they start to pack up the meat, so get there early. It's kinda expensive too, so if you want it simple head down the street to Centromart. read more

I recently hosted a graduation party and ordered all of the food from La Mexicana. Loved everything about my experience: ordering, pick up, and most importantly, the quality and flavor of our food! Lots of compliments from our guests! I highly recommend La Mexicana! read more

I've been coming here for years. I like to support businesses in my community and it's a nice thing to walk, bike or skateboard some place nearby for a meal. And the food here is pretty decent. I must say, though, that the place has a new policy of no bikes, scooters and skateboards on the premises. Okay, bikes I understand, there's no real room for a bike inside. And I would never consider bringing one in, preferring to lock it up outside. But scooters that fold up and skateboards make no sense! The clerk insisted I leave my skateboard at the front by the door before spending my money inside. Yeah, like I am about to leave a $1700 electric skateboard by their door, free for the taking. Or a $350 carbon fibre board. No thanks. I'll just skate over to The Gourmet Burrito and chow there. They are super friendly, bring my meal to me, and the fare is delicious. And I could use the exercise. read more

Food is crap, Service is La Super Crap! I can think of five other Carnecerias or taquerias that are 10X better. Would start with Rancho San Miguel, El Dorado Market and Suyho Market and go from there, as MUCH better bets for food and service. The viejas (or brujas as the case may be) behind the counter tried to dis' me because I wouldn't "speaka da Spanish" as they demanded of me. I'm 3rd generation American of Mexican decent. Why force a language on me that I don't feel comfortable speaking(only with family and friends as mi espanol is broken) ? Not that I dont understand, cant or wont speak it, I just dont feel comfortable as it was never my primary language.If I was of German decent would they say "why ju no speaka tha German"? NO. Never went back! Only giving them one star because there isn't any way to give them negative numbers. read more

Start out by saying all the staff is very courteous and friendly stories very clean has a good selection of what you want. Here's the bed. I've ordered food from the back numerous times and have never really been happy or satisfied They short on meat a fill your burrito with plenty of beans and rice plenty of sour cream and then only give you 4 or 5 pieces of meat. This has been on more than one occasion and the burrito is made quickly and Sloppy. I stop in here from time to time when I don't wanna drive to the taco truck but from now on I'll be taking that drive. I've had a variety of other things from this place with no problem unfortunately the burritos lack any kind of integrity. read more

Great meat and great service. We got some meat for our bbq and it was really good and the best part was I was able to fix my watch at the same time. You cant beat getting two things done in the same place. I would go again and highly recommend this place. read more

Love Love Love this place. I have been getting burritos, salsa, and various other items here for years. Never been disappointed. Just ordered some catering for my daughters graduation and very happy with pricing! The owner, Grace, even came out and gave us samples to try before we decided what to get. Plus its great supporting local business! read more

Freshly made Rice & Beans, Chile Colorado, & Chile Verde, and Salsa Fresca. Thats all you need to know to make a good meal. Don't forget the tortillas too! They also have grocery items and a fresh meat counter. read more

I am totally perplexed by the negative reviews! La Mexicana has excellent deli food, especially the tamales. They are the best I've had from any store or restaurant in Stockton and, yes , I've gotten tamales from the southside and the eastside and these are still the best!!! This is a NEIGHBORHOOD store, not a megastore like Rancho San Miguel, which is part of a large chain of grocery stores. It is illogical to expect its prices to be as low as a chain store but, on the other hand, you don't have to drive miles across town in bad traffic to get there either! The store is immaculate and well-organized, much better than other small neigh- borhood markets I've seen. It has a wide selection of items for a store of its size. I have been there multiple times and never had any of the supposedly horrible experiences indicated. Judging from the tone and wording of some of the negative reviews, it may have been the customers who had an attitude rather what was actually experienced at the store! If you are looking super cheap prices, you may want to go elsewhere, but, if you are looking for quality and convenience, this is an exceptional store. read more

It's a nice alternative for a butcher, or taqueria. It's not a place to do all your shopping, but have a lot of produce and/or ingredients for Mexican dishes. I'm glad they're here! read more

I was pleasantly surprised on how good the food was. It was very authentic and tasty. This will be my go to place for bringing food home.

Would prefer to give Zero stars for the service. I wanted to ask for some help finding something and the man in the suit, who identified himself as the manager, was so unbelievably RUDE! I even tried speaking to him in Spanish thinking it was a language barrier and NOPE he was still rude. Walked away from me while I was speaking to him to greet a man that walked in. He was super friendly to that guy. Guess my business isn't necessary. I did have a chance to look around, didn't see anything special you can't find at other stores. With better quality even. Will NEVER visit again. I'll stick to Superior or even Rancho San Miguel. read more
