As someone who is Mexican American and doesn't speak Spanish fluently, shopping here can honestly feel uncomfortable at times. A lot of the staff automatically assume you speak Spanish, and it's actually pretty rare to find someone working who speaks English well enough to help. Sometimes it feels like it's inconvenient for the staff when you don't speak Spanish, which shouldn't be the case at all. I also found expired cat food while shopping and placed it to the side thinking someone would remove it, but when I came back two weeks later it was STILL sitting there expired. That was really concerning. Another frustrating change is the checkout process. It used to be convenient being able to buy beans, rice, and groceries all together, but now everything has to be done in separate transactions and separate lines, which just makes shopping take longer for no reason. I still go occasionally when I absolutely have to, but honestly if I find somewhere closer and more welcoming, I'd rather shop there instead. read more

WOW.... All fresh, minimally processed, and flavorful hot food and meats that you could ever want Really solid place for tacos, pupusas, Mexican baked goods, and even unique grocery items like sugar cane which is harder to find. (IYKYK) read more

The store is clean and well stocked. I came for their prepared food. Got refried beans and rice. I chose the large container which is $8.99 so x 2. Quite steep but hey, both were delicious! And am now inspired to improve my Mexican rice. The gal who assisted me was very friendly and welcoming. They have delicious bionicos here. I used to ask hubby to get 2 bc I wanted one all for myself. :) I remember when they were $4 and change a couple years ago. Now they're $6 and change but you know what, I'm going to keep buying it bc it's so tasty! They're not the healthiest so we share one and I still get my fix. It's a store that I would only come for specific items I can't find at Winco. Otherwise it's a very expensive store. read more

Veggies are cheap and good and always have deals. I come here ever since we moved from the bay

Employees that I encountered were friendly and helpful. The store is clean but a bit noisy with the music playing. Wish they had the option of packaged meats and not just the meat counter. Sometimes, they have preseasond chicken legs packaged, which are very good. Not everything that is listed on their weekly sales ads are marked. Which makes it tough to shop the Sale Items Only, if you're on a budget. Also, not everything is marked that can be bought with an EBT card. So their policy of all sales are final can be complicated to buy the correct EBT only items. Better tags/markings are needed for EBT items. I did see a couple of items tagged for WIC purchases. Normally, I don't grocery shop here due to higher prices than other local grocery stores, but it's the closest to where I live and when I don't have time to go to other farther stores. read more

OK, first of all let me say I've been to this store many times in the past and every time I go to this place mostly for their food court area where they have the best foods pretty much anything you can think of is really great. I went here yesterday to buy a bunch of burritos for my guys on the strike line at Amazon and the food was really good always great service plenty of people helping you. We will be back to this place many times for all your grocery needs. Great Mexican food in the food court area. Come check this place out next time. I will put some pictures up. read more

It is a really nice neat place and the food is amazing their are so many vibrant colors and it perfect

I love going to this market. We recently just moved to Tracy from Florida. They have great selections of meat, seafood, fruits, and vegetables. I really like their marinated meat sections and they are all cheap and affordable. I got their pastor meat and chorizo for $9 to make tacos for 2 and it was very delicious. Their fruits and vegetables are expensive compared to other store. I was looking to buy strawberries on one of my trip there and it didn't look fresh so I didn't get them. If you are looking for specialty Hispanic food items, this is a place to get them. I also like their small restaurant inside the grocery. They have so many food items to choose from. I will go there for my Mexican food craving. Definitely recommend the place if you are looking for specialty store where you can get unique items. read more

Worst of the worst. I was waiting for someone to take my order and no one show up. I asked the male worker & he can't speak English. Only to find later the lady takes order. She can't speak much English too. Their Burrito bowl on the TV said $9.99. But did not say only for Monday. I tried to order it & they said only Monday. I questioned them and they don't care or not understand. The male cook was kind don't give a shit & rude. This is the worst of the worst. Enough of all these BS. read more

Disgusting, I bought some carnitas and some chicharon the worst I've ever tasted. They out no effort into this food and quite frankly they should not be selling food if that's how they are going to cook. Do they not taste it after they cook it. It was helllla nasty. So bad read more

Been here a few times, but my review is of the supermarket, not the food court. This place has a little b it of everything...they have good priced meats and fresh fruits and produce on top of the regular grocery items. The place is very clean and well organized. It's a good alternative even for Asian people like us since our usual go-to is Ranch 99 or Seafood City, both of which aren't available in Tracy. But we're Filipino so we blend in pretty well . We enjoy walking around checking out all the items, especially the snacks. We've been wanting to try the food court but haven't gotten around to it, but the food looks pretty good. A plus for this place is it's in the same shopping center as La Michoacana Plus ice cream shop, and Tracy's very own Arby's (fun fact: it's a rare sight for Bay Area People)! So you can stop by for dessert break or a good meal at Arby's after a good walking around from grocery shopping. read more

I have been going there for years, but lately their service has been going down. Food is fine if you want fast mexican food fix, but that's about it.

El jamón, wow, I bought 1 lbs of it and boy was it expired! Shame on them for not going through their inventory and purposely putting it in between the good ham. Disgusting! The young lady who worked the counter should be ashamed! I would not recommend if you want to buy expired meat! This economy is bad as it is and to give expired goods is ridiculous!! read more

This place is an absolute GEM. I absolutely LOVE La Plaza! Especially during Covid, it is such a bonus having such an amazing carniceria near by to have access to. I cannot find a decent taco joint in Tracy and this place offers OPTIONS! They have a full deli that makes tacos, tortas, burritos and another section where they offer dishes such as chile verde, chile relleno, shimp cocktails and so much more. Their salsas are on point and always flavorful. The quality of the food in my opinion is very authentic Mexican cuisine, very similar to how I cook. Their meat department saves me anytime I have a craving for a quick meal. I can pick up a couple of pounds of carne asada, salsa and guac and its on! My guilty pleasure from La Plaza are their carnitas from the deli. They are crisp and flavorful, and I absolutely love them! I literally can pick up everything I need for my tacos too; radishes, green onions, chilies, tomatoes, you name it! If I'm making a pozole, La Plaza is my one stop shop! They also have a cheese deli where they offer cheeses, sauces, creams and various sausage links; the Salvadorian variety is a family favorite. Their tortilla department and bakery are usually pumping out goodies like a well oiled machine. They have actual groceries and spices as well. I love this store, not only for the nostalgic music being played and the authentic Mexican vibe throughout, but for all the yummies within. They truly are a staple within our community. read more

This review was going to be a generous three-star review until my interaction with Antonio at La Plaza. Although I have only shopped at this store a handful of times, my most recent trip will most definitely be my last. Each year for the holidays, we pick a different cuisine for our family holiday meal. This year, for Easter, we choose street tacos. I visited La Plaza on Thursday, April 6th to shop for the ingredients for the upcoming Sunday dinner; tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeños, tortillas, "bone-in" pork butt, etc. On Sunday, after our normal Easter traditions were wrapping up, I begun prepping for our holiday meal; peeling the tomatillos, chopping the cilantro, and gathering my seasonings for the meat. I pulled the meat out of the refrigerator, took it out of the plastic shopping bag, and noticed a rancid odor. I thought surely the smell isn't coming from the meat I had just purchased, so I started opening the doubled-bagged meat that it was weighed in at the store. I hadn't gotten to the second bag when I realized the rotten smell was, in fact, coming from the newly purchased meat. Initially I was upset because I hadn't thought of a backup plan for dinner. I figured I would quadruple bag it and put it in our second refrigerator in the garage so I could return it the next day. This morning, I call the store and tell them the situation with the meat. The lady who answered the phone said as long as I have the receipt, I can return it. I thought, Ok, no big deal. I grabbed the receipt and proceeded to drive into Tracy to return the meat. When I arrive at the store, I tell the only employee that I could find that I had called the store a little bit ago about a return. She was operating the cashier but had Antonio help me out. He asks what the problem was and I explained the situation. After some time, he took the bagged meat from me, and placed it on the conveyor belt of an unused check-out lane and asked for the receipt. I handed him the receipt and he proceeded to compare the receipt with the bagged meat. He starts patting down the meat and squeezing it from the outside of the bag. Not sure why, but okay. Antonio turns to me and said, "so what were you making?" Even though I felt it was none of his business what I was going to make, I told him I was going to make street tacos. Again, he looks over at me and says, "with bone-in meat? You don't make tacos with bone in meat!" At first I thought he was joking but realized he was serious. I chuckled and said, "what? I can't make tacos with bone-in meat?" and he says "no, no you can't". I was shocked by what he was saying, but at the same time it was a bit entertaining. He obviously has no idea what he was talking about lol. I ended the conversation by briefly explaining that using bone-in meat adds flavor. Hey Antonio, if you're reading this...you might want to educate yourself on using bone-in meat so that you aren't misleading your customers. Let's just say La Plaza lost another customer. I would have given this store another chance, but with the unprofessional and rude comments from Antonio, I will not be returning. read more

So I met a lady while shopping in Costco who told me about this local Mexican supermarket who had the best hot food. She also told me that the store itself was very big and clean. So being that Tuesday was right around the corner of course I had to make a trip to Tracy to try out their Taqueria for taco Tuesday. While there I did find myself shopping around the store for necessary items and also visited the bakery, meat market, produce sections. When I first walked and I didn't notice there was a lady selling pupusa's which I love!! I'm not sure how often this is there maybe it's permanent who knows but I will have to try that next visit. Now back to the tacos OMG! I ordered 10 Carne Asada tacos (for me and my family) with everything on the side including jalapeños and has onions which were $1.50 more. At first bite and I loved them! I added some red salsa which is very spicy and also a little bit of green mild salsa to give it an extra kick. Now I wish I would've asked for more salsa LOL! The price of the tacos were $2.75 each with 50% off for taco Tuesday which to me is still a good deal at $1.37 each. If you're looking for really good tacos for taco Tuesday this is the place to be they also had a large area with other Hot foods that I will have to try out next time. read more

When I got there none of them asked me can I help you nothing so I had to say excuse me finally she came over, she was so rude and very unpleasant La Plaza Market you lost another customer She spoke to me very rudely. I'm hoping a store manager or somebody higher will read this and train these employees the correct way to treat other people.I WILL NOT BE BACK IN THERE AGAIN !!!! They made me add a star read more

So I must admit it. I've NEVER come here to actually shop. I come here for the TACOS and let's keep it all the way 100! They are legit! This is the place to be in Tracy on Taco Tuesday. You get a lot of delicious food for a great price. The staff is nice and knowledgeable AND the CARNITAS.... BOMB!!! Then they got these different types of drink for you: orange, watermelon, horchata... and this one green drink that I don't know the name of but it SLAPS! And all these drinks are natural. Fresh squeezed. Please go and enjoy yourself! read more

So they sold me rotten chicken and shrimp, went back for a refund. Brought back said rotten items, with receipt and they refused to give me a refund. I paid in cash. They would only offer me store credit that would expire in 8 days. Like. Is this a fucking joke? The chicken and shrimp smell AWFUL. It even made the cashier gag! Never coming back after that. read more

This is a fun place to visit with a little bit of everything. There is a Papusa stand as you enter where the staff makes fresh Papusas to order. The pork Papusa was fantastic with a hefty amount of tender and tasty filling compared to other Papusa places. To the right of the Papusa stand is a clothing / jewelry /toy stand and a flower section. Behind these stands is a food court with a great selection of fresh items to order. The store has a great variety of everything they carry. An example of this is the cremas. There are 4 options with the equivalent of Crema Mexican being the best. We also ordered the Walnut Yogurt, which was like eating dessert it was so tasty. There is a bakery stand in the back and several other stands in the store with grocery aisles in the middle. The store is large compared to a Chavez Market for instance. One stop shopping for all your shopping needs. The only negative were the avocados, all of which turned out to be rotten once opened. Another Yelper mentioned the same thing; thus, they obviously have an issue with their avocado selection. read more

There's a couple of these stores in SJ, but it's kind of a drive to eat there during lunch. Now that they have one in Tracy, I'm down to get some food when I'm craving their tacos. With Costco, Super Walmart, Winco, and the Safeways/Nob Hill, Food Maxx had to close their doors due to stiff competition. The shoppers there are 99% hispanic so the transition to a Mi Pueblo was almost seamless and ideal. I had to go by and pick up a few cases of Crystal Geyser water since they had a case of it for $2.50. The parking lot was as full as I've ever seen it. It looked like a swap meet today when I went complete with the meat grilling in the lot. There was so many people there eating and shopping there that they had to do some cooking outside to keep up with the demand. After I ordered my tacos, this one dude came up to me and asked if the food was free. He may have mistaken this for the food shelter. Nothing's free in life buddy. Even "free" at Costco comes after you pay for the membership. They have a huge assortment of meats, salsas, and drinks. It's really like little Mexico here. Love it. I'm sure shoppers are like "who's this Chino?" Cuidado Senor--este Chino hablo Espanol pequito. In the meat dept, they had fresh cracked oysters off the shell that they grilled on a small electric grill for 99 cents. I would have tried it but the line was too long. The bakery is almost irresistible with fresh baked bread and pastries. My fav is the macroons. They have fresh meats and seafood at the carniceria unlike the Supermarkets where everything is prepackaged. Mi Pueblo is my favorite mexican Ranch 99. read more

La Plaza Market, in Tracy, has potential. The employees who are serving in produce, the salsa station and meat department are cordial and customer friendly. Regrettably, the cashiers need training. I'll repeat: the cashiers need training!!!! Customer service is the direct one-on-one interaction between a consumer making a purchase and a representative of the company that is selling it. Most retailers see this direct interaction as a critical factor in ensuring buyer satisfaction and encouraging repeat business. My wife and I visited the store on Tuesday, April 25, 2023 and purchased approximately $140.00 of merchandise. On our way out the cashier, Patricia Rodriguez, appeared in extensive conversation with a co-worker; no one was at her cash register. When we began setting our merchandise on the counter she did not greet us or welcome us; she appeared to have a negative attitude. I explained we had brought our own bags for the merchandise; she did not respond. When she completed checking the merchandise I asked her if she was going to help us in placing the items in our bags. She said NO!, the company did not allow the cashiers to help bag the items unless they bought the bags from the store. Mean while our groceries were all stacked together. Patricia's respond, attitude and demeanor is inappropriate and reprehensible! We had just purchased $140.00 and Patricia refused to assist in providing customer service. At that point I asked to speak with a supervisor. Lamentably, the supervisor was of not help at all. We bagged our merchandise and I promised my wife we would not be returning to the store. This information was also shared with friends and relatives in Tracy, Livermore, Pleasanton and Dublin and now YELP. Good customer service is critical to business success, ensuring brand loyalty one customer at a time. As stated cashiers and managers need training or the store will continue to lose customers. I hope this message reaches top management for the Plaza Market. I do not recommend shopping at this establishment until they follow through with appropriate training for cashiers and store manages. Thanks for listening. -J Espinosa read more
