DELICIOUS TAMALES HERE!!! Was craving for tamales so bad and it was a little later in the night so I picked some up from La Reina and they were delicious! For about $4ish per tamale, I got both the pork and chicken ones. Very good and will come here if I ever crave them again. read more

Do not go here for ranchera. The worst ranchera I've purchased. No flavor and hard as a rock.

For all these groceries at el super for $65.00. For this store I bought one gallon of milk, 1 pound of carne molida, 1/2 carne para tacos, 4 tomatoes, 3 Serrano peppers, and some Duvalin candy. For $50. read more

La Reina Markets - Grocery Near Me - Anaheim, California

Service is great, fast and friendly. Honestly they are overpriced and over-hyped. $3.79 for 1 dry tamal! The butter croissant was like a sweetened bolillo! The quality of the baked goods is not what it used to be. I thought I could buy at least an ok tamal or bread but Honestly its going to waste, I wont eat it. If its not for their meat( not because of quality but convenience) I wont come again! I am saddened I will throw out 9$ worth of "food" read more

I had really bad food poisoning from eating rotisserie chicken. I missed 3 days of work and I still feel sick

One of top stores to get our meat from for many many yrs! It has been our local store since I could remember, again don't ask my age lol. They make their sweet breads and they make their own masa for tamales. You can imagine how it gets during the holidays :0 big-O lines... but anyways besides the great service they provide I just found they have nopales tortillas, I loved loved them with some queso fresco (my mouth just watered) lol One thing I will mention is parking is a pain in the butt because it's a small shopping area and at the end of one corner. There's a restaurant that can get busy and a laundromat. So expect to struggle a bit with the parking. Maybe once you go in the bakery you will forget the parking issue lol read more

Fast, friendly and very delicious. The tamales were amazing I highly would recommend this to all my family and friends.

My go to for marinated pollo. They also carry Herdez Taquera salsas and El Yuteca brand hot sauces.

This market is a little piece of Mexico! The meat is fresh and the butchers are helpful! But if you don't want to cook or bake by all means stop by this market. They have delicious food (tacos, burritos, Tortas, etc) ready to pick up and fresh baked Mexican bread. The tortillas are made fresh everyday!! read more

A few people in a Anaheim group recommended this place for tamales.. it's a big NOPE for me. I was planning on ordering a few dozen for Christmas but I wanted to try them first just to make sure. I ordered 2 chicken and 1 pork. I go to unwrap a chicken one and noticed the paper was very hard and crisp, not moist like they typically are. I open it up, and the chicken looked dry. I tried it and sure enough, it was very dry and hardly any sauce. I would NOT recommend this place to anyone. For $3 a tamale, they should be better. read more

La Reina Markets - the inside of a tamales - Grocery Near Me - Anaheim, California

Upon entering, this market looks like your typical Mexican market. But once inside, you'll find a hot food counter with great Mexican food. A fresh bakery and tortilla department. And a fresh meat department that even carries high grade cuts of beef. This is a great place to get some groceries and also splurge on some high grade beef. The butchers even offer to cut meat to your liking. This place is top notch. read more

La Reina Is definitely an experience the ambiance is welcoming and the service is so helpful and friendly. When I tell you I will drive the distance to get the pan dulce means they definitely have the best sweet bread in town. There concha's are always fresh and fluffy perfect amount of sweetness and the sugar topping never falls off. There chocolate donut never disappoints better then any donut shop I've been too always fluffy and there chocolate glaze is always soft and never crumbles just melts in your mouth. There bolillos are definitely a must on any occasion I get them and a champurrado to dip my bread in 10/10 to recommend. The rest of there breads are always delicious there has never been a time when I drove here and they disappointed me it is always a great experience. La Reina also offers fresh hot foods and also has a carniceria. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. read more

Bakery section clean and the bread is moist and delicious La Capirotada is delicious read more

We've been here a couple times now since we've moved to Fullerton. They showed up on my IG and my husband was craving good salsa and carnitas... so we went to find this market. It's on the corner of east and sycamore. Tiny plaza. Great for compact cars lol. The kids loved the pan dulce. The bolillos here are my fave. Crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside. Love their red and green salsas. They are spicy so you have to like the heat. We'd love to check out the Tustin location if we're in that area but we are happy to have this one close by. read more

Great Place to buy Pan Dulce and Masa. My co-workers say they are the softest conchas they have had. Parking is a bit tricky but not worth taking anything away from a great little market. read more

AFTER 15 YEAR COMING HERE FROM CORONA, LA REINA MARKETS IS STILL THE BEST PLACE TO GET MAZA (PREPARADA-PREPARED) FOR YOUR TAMALES!!! We just picked up 20 lbs of Maza Preparada for our Tamales and La Reina (The Queen) Markets is still #1. The Ladies that helped us were very kind and friendly. They got me my Maza very quickly and accurate. Their prices are perfect. The Store Owner and front Cashiers are always Very Friendly and so Nice. It's no wonder we make the drive from Corona to Anaheim. Since you're there buying The Maza. I highly recommend La Reina Markets Tostadas and Chips, it's their own brand. For Tostadas, Posole, Ceviche, BBQs, and any dish that requires Tostadas and Chips. They're #1 no joke! Go in the mornings if you can to avoid rush hour. Thank You & Feliz Navidad!!! read more

The tamales from here aren't the best they have no meat and are really dry. Not worth it I recommend Northgate if anything.

I bought marinated carne Asada... there was no marinade on it. It was bland and a Waste of money read more

Really great selection of meats especially for BBQ. The staff was so nice too! I had a few questions about the salsa selection and they were so considerate and patient explaining the difference. read more

Yelp challenge 2016. 81 /116 I left another known Carniciera shop and made my way here. I am no stranger to La Reina. But like Carolyn W, I prefer the Orange spot out on Tustin. Here they have a butcher, hot foods, sweet breads, produce and a few things in between. Most people visit here for the meat and conchas. Tucked away in a tiny plaza in East Anaheim with limited parking. I ordered 4 whole rotisserie chickens at $7.99 each. The guy was kind enough to cut the chicken into pieces and and put it in a tynfoil tray with a cover at no additional charge. I Picked up some mini tortillas that were still warm, salsa roja, and some chunky salsa and I was ready to go. Now I'm going to be honest. I barely ate any chicken. Instead I cut it all up. Reheated it on my grill and made tacos for about 50 people. Those people I fed really enjoyed the chicken. Everyone said it was pretty good. After preparing that much chicken, I just couldn't eat it. Then again, I usually don't eat when I cook for a crowd. But let me tell you it smelt amazing. It looked amazing. Skin was super crispy. The meat fell right off the bone. The few bites I had were great. Kind of wanted to kick myself for not taking a picture. The breasts looked super meaty and juicy. Compared to other rotisserie chicken places, this is my new favorite. Most of the cashiers have limited English. I spoke to them in Spanish. They answered me in English. They have other meats, like Carne Asada. But..... $7.99 a pound is a little pricey, especially when I needed a few pounds. #881 read more

I had leftover pork roast from my recent homemade Hawaiian kalua pork adventure. Great meal it was indeed. But so much left over, including massive amounts of fresh banana leaves! So then Mr. B got the brilliant idea to "try" making tamales....wrapped in banana leaf. Please don't laugh too hard when I tell you, neither of us has ever made one. It is not standard food fare for our Fil-Am and Heinz 57 household, other than the eating part. But it sounded like a good idea to me, so I took the bait....and I watched U-Tube to find out "how abuelita would do it?" So what does all this have to do with La Reina? I knew I was not going to go whole hog (pun intended) by making the masa too. With this in mind, we stopped at my favorite market, Puerto Madera in Santa Ana, but they do not sell masa preparada. They suggested coming here, to La Reina, for the "best masa (and tortilla dough) ever". So good, says he, that reportedly the lines wrap around the building around Xmas time. Guess I am not the only one who cuts corners. This turns out to be a small store in a corner strip mall, with a panaderia in a back room. Big hot ovens in an industrial kitchen where they prepare all their bakery and deli items, in-your-face visible. And this is where you will also find the masa purchased by weight. I bought a paltry 3 lbs. White girl portions. But boy oh boy, did they save me lots of work. The masa, first impression, was moist and malleable. A good sign. Assemblage (is that a word?) started the next day. Now for the update: I ended up making 13 tamales before I ran out of masa. And the critique of the finished product, steamed and all? Wonderful masa! (And it turns out, a wonderful filling of smoked, juicy pork chunks, hard boiled egg, green olive, a spoonful of a spicy homemade tomato-y sauce, and a couple sprigs of cilantro). This was one terrific first-time experience. And I now know I can do it, happily, with their beautiful masa. Almost easy - peasy. And I've got more filling!!!!! Next time, their Orange location is much closer for me. This will definitely be a long term, enthusiastic relationship. Just bragging, but you may call me 'Abuelita'. read more

La Reina Does not sanitize any of their shopping rolling carriers, Tongs used to pick up the bread, the large circular bread platters, door handles to open the doors to retrieve bread pieces in the bakery section of this market. This market neglects sanitary procedures during this COVID-19 pandemic. I wish I would of taken a picture of the fly that was trapped in the breading. When will they start taking the appropriate safety measures and precautions to help keep the Anaheim community SAFE. read more

This is a small market with a bakery next door which looks like liqour store. It basically is but with a butcher shop in it. They carry items like milk, canned goods, chips, tortillas and incidentals. The service is cool, no complaints. They also have the following: Carnitas - crunchy yet soft, crispy outside, juicy inside and all that salty flavor or well cooked pork. Chicharon or crackling - it is an inch thick of rind which is half beefy and half crunch pork fat. Chicarones - these large pieces of pork rind you can stuff in a sandwich or eat alone with lemon, chili and some veggies. Bolio bread made fresh across the way, I love these. Pan Dulce - Sweet bread as depicted in the pics other yelpers attached. Anyone hungry? read more

Yummy Mexican bread!!!! I love how they number the shelves with bread and u tell them which number of bread u want. This prevents everyone touching the pan dulce and dirty tongs touching. Great service! read more

This place has good Conchas that's one thing I come here daily for our conchas. The business is a little so so I know they can do better it's similar to El Ranchito market. So my main reason for this review is that the employees really need to upscale there customer service. To stick up no happy faces not good for a business to have people so serious! Store doesn't open til like 7:30am but there bakery section opens early on the other side read more

Before the bread was fresh everyday but now if you're lucky you get it fresh if not you get it lo hard and expensive

Well before the COVID stared the prices were fair but now they're to high and the bread is god when is fresh but since COVID you can't get your own they have someone but the problem is that you end up with old bread hard and expensive read more

Went here because it was recommended, not happy. I understand that the girls might be in a hurry trying to get your bread choice. But since it was first time there, I was a little lost because I couldn't really see the bread. Ate bread was disappointed. So we gave it a another try & again was disappointed., I will just stick to my other place Brizuela's Bakery Anaheim they had been shut down because someone broke there windows. read more

The customer service is terrible. Who ever manages this place has no management skills or people skills. Super rude needs training to speak to customers over the phone. read more

Not the place I thought and not as good as they say. Poor customer service and treatment .

When my family's down in Anaheim each year for my family reunion, we stop by La Reina in the morning before the big event. Two reasons. First, it's just a minute or two from my grandma's. Second, the food. Delicious pan dulce, artery-clogging (yet oh-so-yummy!) chicharrones, and fresh, flavorful meats. Oh, I just realized the third reason, too! I've never uploaded a picture of any restaurant or store to Yelp, but I'm going to have to now. There's no way to describe the massive amount of pan dulce you can buy for $5.35. My mom filled a large tray with various pastries, and I had to tell her, "Uh, I think you're getting way too many." Once we were rung up, I had to say, "SHIT, GET MORE PASTRIES!" Your dollar definitely goes pretty far at La Reina. Also, we didn't pay much for all the chicharrones we bought for the reunion (the thin and crispy kind and the thick, juicy kind that I like). I don't know if I can be that proud over all that pork skin, though... well, whatever, it was good! If you live in the area, you definitely have to check out La Reina. It may not be in the best plaza, but the store itself has been fixed up. Great to see this little store prospering. Check it out! read more

La Reina Markets - Five bucks. For this. Load up your trays! - Grocery Near Me - Anaheim, California

I was born and raised in Boyle Heights, East LA. Since moving to Buena Park I have been looking for a market bakery which made me feel at home and had what I missing since moving. La Reina has it all, fresh breads, carnicia and the feel of small mercado.. Go if your in the neighborhood read more

No service dogs allowed here my wife has her service dog and she was told she had to leave. The reason why I gave one star is because there is no sign any where that says no dogs allowed much less no service dogs allowed for all of those with service animals this is not a place for you to go. read more

The best pan dulce this side of the border that I've ever had! Whenever I go to Mexico I definitely load up on the carb, but this place is amazing. I live in the SGV and when I make trips down to Anaheim this is always the first place I make a pitstop at. Soft, sweet deliciousness awaits! read more

Rude customer service, place not clean at all. Poor food quality, chicharones were hard and stale, ranchera meat got my family sick. Really bad experience. read more

I asked my friend who lives in this area where's a good bakery so he took me to this place. It's a market and way in the corner there's a bakery that has Pan Dulce. Everything was well stocked there's not empty holes so I guess they make Pan Dulce all day. I had a Concha and a cookie and boy they were soft and delicious. I was really craving for Mexican sweet bread. I'm glad my friend took me to this place because he made the right choice. I definitely recommend this place to get Pan dulce! read more

In my search for the the best overall local Carniceria I decided to check out La Reina based upon Carolyn W.'s review. She has some pros and cons about the place, but what she loved was the part I was looking for - the Carne Asada. Currently this is the leader in this quest for Mexican prepared meat products. Here's the breakdown- Carne Asada - number 1 ranking - nice flavor and tender! Chicken - number 2 in flavor, but very close - I like that it is cut up - my number one flavor wise is a breast that is not cut up (Buy Low/El Metate) - but I entertain big - and this is less work - also a mix of light and dark meat - flavor is so close that La Reina's is number 1 overall. Pork - not much fat, good flavor - not as spicy as Ramona's - but my wife likes it that way - so it was number 1 for her - good for me also - I can always add heat!! The meat is what I was looking for - I don't care about the groceries, baked goods and deli here - I have a "go to" place for those items. La Reina makes its own tortillas - I got a bag of mini corn - they were still warm - but we did not like them at all - Buy Low - (until recently "El Metate") makes them fresh - and they wayyyyy better - in addition they have more variety - worth the short drive. (they also have better fresh cilantro, cheeses, sauces - everything else really) Parking was a little tight - and it was on a weekday afternoon - I hope that it won't be a problem at other times (for me - or you!). I can see why Carolyn likes the Orange store a little better - since I'm just getting my items - this place is closer, and works perfectly. Service was good - I was greeted upon entrance - and thanked as I left by the security guard guy, and by one of the employees. The butcher and cashier were both friendly and helpful. It's also very close to Buy Low, Stater Bro's and not far from my house. I can quickly hit all 3 three places to put together a great street taco bar for a crowd!! read more
