I'm writing this review of the Taco Tuesday at La Superior Mercado. It is simply the best deal in town! Delicious, authentic street tacos for only $1.50 each -- you can't beat that. Choices include carnitas, chicken, adobo, poblano pork, and chorizo. Each taco comes on double-layered street-size tortillas, served with grilled chilies, sliced radishes, and a wedge of lime -- just the way it should be. Pair them with agua fresca, horracha, or a coffee drink, from the counter or grab a soda, juice, or water from the market. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert from the bakery-- their flan, fruit tarts and tres leches cake are absolute too good to pass up. read more

See all

This is my go to Mexican market. All of the marinated meats are exceptional. The arrachera preparada is bomb, chicken wings - the best, short ribs-yes, you cant go wrong with whatever you choose. They have premade salsas, torta rolls from their bakery and a taqueria. The food from the taqueria is bomb also, at a decent price. They also have cooked whole chickens and carnitas by the pound to go. read more

I went by today to get some tacos. I asked for 10 tacos and when I got home I checked my boxes and I only got 6. I payed for 10 not 6, each box had 3. Every time I go there's this side eyeing and whispering and giggling going on it's too much. Childish behavior! read more

Food is crazy good, great deal $1.50 taco Tuesdays, but the vibe and ambiance is weird. I've been twice and both times the service is bad, I'm not sure what is being said while I'm in there but they laugh and giggle way too much for me. read more

First the good. Their Taco Tuesday is legit. $1.50 for pretty good street tacos. I just wish they would have cabeza. Now the bad. The man behind the meat counter has never been friendly to me. It always felt like he was bothered to serve me. Then one day I waited 2-3 minutes while he was doing something, ignoring me, when a Mexican woman walked up to the counter. He immediately went to serve her. I just walked out and will never shop at the meat counter again. The vegetable section is decent, but the prices are higher than La Esperanza down the street and at Rancho San Miguel. I occasionally will buy some veggies when I get tacos for convenience. If it weren't for Taco Tuesday, I would never shop there again. edit: they do have cabeza, it's jist not on the menu. read more

UPDATE: I had left a review last month and never mentioned this to my husband. But an interesting thing happened. He went to this same store on 8/17 and told me he had intended to buy carne adobada and when he went to pay, he realized he was being charged for chorizo. What he was supposed to pay was a bit over $12 and was actually being charged about $24. He mentioned to the cashier who assisted in getting that corrected at the meat counter. That is when I decided to tell him what happened to me. Honestly, too much of a coincidence. Is the store putting meat on sale, but over-charging and hoping people don't notice? So sad we now have to check to make sure we are not being taken advantage of. If you do not intend to put your meat on sale, don't try to con people like this. I am seriously thinking about shopping some place else. July 22, 2025 Review... I went to La Superior on Franklin because I was craving their teleras for tortas. I noticed they had carne adobada on sale at $3.99. Lately, that is a good bargain. I got my meat and continued to shop. My mistake was not checking (which I will from now on) the label to make sure I am not getting charged for something other than what I ordered. I got home and put the bag in the refrigerator and brought it out a day later. That is when I realized I got charged for chicken wing drumstick? At 4.49 a pound. I truly hope it is the right amount, because I distinctly remember asking for 3 pounds. After work and in a hurry, I relied on the counter person getting my order correct. I have heard of these stores ranking up their prices and overcharging. I want to keep supporting our Latino businesses, but they also need to make sure they are being fair. We all make mistakes, but when they punch out the label, I would think they make sure they know what they are packaging. And again, I also take responsibility. I need to check myself that I am not getting taken advantage of. read more

Great spot for ingredients if you're making Mexican food. We love chili verde and love to come here for chilis and tomatillos. Great butcher shop, lots of produce. Prices are great - lower than Safeway. The cocina inside is great for cooked meals for a party. The taqueria is excellent also - delicious $2 tacos! No fancy stuff- couldn't find dishwasher pods, only soap. But Safeway is around the corner! read more

La Superior Mercados - $6! - Bakeries Near Me - Sacramento, California

This is long overdue. I used to go to the one on Northgate, since moving to the area I came here a few times in the summer. I noticed a pattern of being treated poorly and getting looked at with evil eyes by the clerks. I would get a pastry and the woman who was there again tonight, will look at me and continue to do whatever she is doing. Finally when she feels like it, she will come to ask me what I want. Always rude. The cashiers are even worse. Finally after the third visit I decided not to go back. To top it off they sold me "fresh" salsa that was rancid. I had to throw it out. Well tonight there was a fire down the road and the roads were blocked. The train was haulted and I had to take a detour home. I drove by and decided to get some plantains and give the salsa another try and get a small cake. Right as I walk in the girl at the register scans my entire body. Doesn't say hello, nothing. I go to try the salsa to make sure it is not spoiled and the man was so rude, he rushed me to the point were I didn't order anything else. I then go to the pastries and low and behold dumbledore is standing behind the register. She watches me approach then heads all the way to the back to fiddle around for almost 10 mins. I tell her not to package my pastry that I will take it in the container. She disregards me and does it anyway. I wanted a soda but I felt so uncomfortable that I just wanted to check out and leave the store. I get to the register and the girl calls over this old lady to look at me. She is looking at my leg tattoos up and down. I tell her I'm going to grab some plantains and she didn't acknowledge me. When I check out, she didn't look at me at all. She was talking to the old lady who was just burning a hole through me. You see, I am Spanish, my family is of Cuban decent. I have cream colored skin, brown hair. I speak to everyone in spanish when I go to hispanic markets as a courtesy. My dilect is that of a Cuban. It's so curious to me how people claim "razas unidads". But they actually despise anyone who doesn't look like them. From now on, I will speak to them in English. While sporting my patriotic attire. -Las muchachas el la caja y la señora que trabaja en los postres son bien groseras. Y el hombre el la carnicería tambien. No duda que cada vez que a tenido que ir a su tienda me maltratan. Desgraciadamente no hay tiendas para todas las razas hispanas. No hay otra opcion pero tener que ir y aguantarle las comemierdades a esta gente que no tienen educación. ¿Tu sabes lo que es ir a comprar comidad de su tienda, dar mi dinero y encima tener que ser respetosa y aguantar mi lengua para no comerme las? Es una desgracia. Su tienda no apoya a niguno que no se parece a tu gente. Como esta el mundo, tener yo que sentir me mal, me quitaron las ganas ni de comer fijate. ¡Educanse caballero¡ Van a seguir perdiendo clientes por las ignorancias y envidia de tus empleados. Por gusto y por nada. read more

Absolutamente a great place to shop for your Mexican food needs. Friendly staff & lots of wonderful products. Their prepared foods & meat department have delicious options for any occasion. Their regular everyday groceries are overpriced in comparison to major grocery options. read more

Excellent Mexican supermarket chain. I stop it every blue moon if there are meat specials in the ad online. Last time I went to town on Arroz con leche $1.99 lb. Bought 6 lbs. Staff is usually very friendly and it helps my conversational Spanish is pretty good. They also have a section with cakes, pan dulces and a mini food spot (burritos, tacos, dishes, chicharron etc. read more

Love this store! The produce is always fresh and they have a lot of variety of my favorite snacks and drinks.

The staff was friendly and helpful. I like that there's a restaurant where you can get hot food in the supermarket. I also felt like the food was pretty reasonably priced. read more

La Superior Mercados - Chocolate Chip coffee flavor tres leches cake - Bakeries Near Me - Sacramento, California

The good: clean, well-stocked, courteous staff, and not busy early on a Sunday morning. Tamales are $21 a dozen. I got a dozen pork tamales and they were fresh and reasonably good. The not so good: menudo had a good flavor but no hominy (grano) and the meat was all undercooked, including the 'pata' which was pretty much inedible. The worst of it was the 'pan dulce' which was clearly old and hard. You are not allowed close to the bread to make your selection so I asked the attendant if the bread was fresh. I asked her if it was from today. She said yes to both questions. I am bilingual, so it is not that she did not understand....she was not honest. I tossed the whole bag of pan dulce once I got home and tried to serve it to the family. La Esperanza a couple of blocks down had very good reviews for their bakery but when I got there at 8:00 am there was a HUGE line of people waiting to get in so I went to La Superior instead. My mistake. read more

I feel incredibly lucky to have this grocery store in the area. Staff is knowledgeable and attentive. Nice selection of items.

I Love their pan dulce especially their mini concha's they are so cute and delicious. Everything is clean and organized, I enjoy going there for lunch. read more

I came in while it was relatively empty I waited patiently for service. I was ignored until I spoke up. A few Hispanic families came in and were immediately serviced. I'm black, when I was helped I was met with eye rolls when I tried to tell them my order for what I wanted in my burrito. I ended up returning the food. The burrito was full of only rice and beans and I had to argue to get my refund. The lady at the registers showed no customer service skills and language wasn't a barrier. read more

Just me are all the employees rude... do hoes not bag groceries anymore??? Cus I bagged my own after the rude little girl took my money.

I am beyond furious me and my fiancé went in first time here ever the papausas is what caught our eye. We go in and order the lady was really nice on that side for hot food (restaurant side) we ate and while eating my fiancé wanted a Diet Coke mind you when getting rung up the first time for the papusas the on the restaurant side the card reader was giving issues. So to save time I told my fiancé I'm going to the front to pay for the soda I waited in a long line. No complaints. Paid for the soda and returned to our table to finish eating. I told my fiancé let's walk around the store so I can introduce him to pastries of my ethnic background. So we do so. Got our pastries and tres leches piece and got In line again. Thank goodness it was the young lady that had rung me up for the Diet Coke cause the manager approached her as we were getting run up stating In spanish they did not pay for the soda mind you when we where eating this manager was on lunch eating right in front of us she obviously does not pay attention to her surroundings but my cashier who originally rung us up shared with Sofia yea they did. Little to the managers knowledge I speak Spanish so I stated to her WE PAID FOR OUR SODA AND OUR CASHIER CONFIRMED MIND YOU I HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND IF THEY WANTED ROLL BACK CAMERAS PLEASE ROLL BACK CAMERAS. This was embarrassing very embarrassing I will never return here the manager Sofia running this place needs more training on floor awareness and procedures and protocols. The approach she took by far unprofessional and anyone with this approach should not be working groceries or retail as this can cause a bad look for the business. read more

I would not recommend this establishment to anyone. So disappointed that this store is in our lovely community. Management and employees are rude and not helpful. Every experience I have had here has been pitiful, rude and unprofessional. My last experience was with a rude meat department worker and an uncaring manager. I even called the next morning to speak to another supervisor about the situation and he was just as rude as the employees from the day before. This store does not represent our community/neighborhood. I work with this community for over 10 years and never had consistent experiences as I do here. It's an ongoing issue that this particular store has and the owners, managers and staff should be embarrassed. It's not just me that has experience me like this, so do others that I personally know and other yelp reviews experienced the same. Shame on you guys for not being a good store to your community. read more

La Superior Mercados is just the place to go to get whatever Mexican food you need/want. We needed to pick up some chili peppers, jalapeno, onions, cilantro, chorizo, pork, tortillas, etc. to make some Mexican food at home. But since it was early morning, we thought to stop in and try some of the breakfast items that they provide in their kitchen. We split a breakfast of Chorizo and eggs. Wow, it was great. A really big hot and delicioso portion, with the eggs and chorizo made on their flat iron grill, a scoop of rice, a scoop of beans, a stick of cheese, and a drink all for just $11. They have other plenty of good hot cooked foods in their deli to take home and/or to eat there. Their small dining area is clean and service is friendly, courteous and prompt. Beat the crowds of La Esperanza and try La Superior for an early morning breakfast before shopping. read more

Breakfast burritos are bombbb but the staff is extremely RUDE ! I have never had a good customer service experience at this place! The girls are always looking angry and annoyed. When I asked for salsa on side she threw it towards me and wallked away...But are friendly and flirty with the men! I work nearby so it's convenient for me to come here on lunch or break but it sucks that everytime I come in I get treated like shit! Dont come here. I also asked her to cut my burrito in half one time since I was going to be sharing and she got mad and cut it and re wrapped it very bad with the same foil she had just took off.. Rude ass girls!! read more

I quite like this supermarket! I have come in with my bf (who is white) and also by myself. I occasionally have gotten a weird look since I'm the only Asian in the store, but no big - It doesn't bother me. The service here has definitely been getting better and better! People have been friendly and helpful. I like getting stuff at the deli - usually salsa or ceviche. Their meat section looks pretty good and so does the cooked food, but alas, I haven't had either! Most definitely on my list of stuff to try. I like the spice section and the produce section. The spices are priced below normal grocery stores, but you are getting the spice without a plastic/glass container. You just get them in a bag. I am okay with that. The produce section is great if you are looking for peppers and things to make a Mexican style meal. read more

Great store, clean, excellent produce. A slightly smaller version of the Stockton Blvd. store that for some unknown reason, is my favorite. The staff will always help you out if you need something, and the kitchen puts out some seriously good food. If you've had it with the green rocks at Safeway that pass as avocados, stop in here where you'll almost always find dozens of ripe ones. Same for the other fruits and veggies, they're just closer to ripe and ready to eat. Oh, and about 30% less overpriced than those big chain grocery stores. read more

I drive about 30 minutes to get to this store, which is why I don't come often but I'm like a kid in a candy store every time I come. The employees are all really nice. The selection of hard to find vegetables is good, like epazote...I stopped by the prepared food section and purchased some chicharrón and horchata, delicious. read more

La Superior Mercados - Fresh nopales, cactus paddles. - Bakeries Near Me - Sacramento, California

Lucky me got to to experience a very rude employee in the meat department. He was upset that they left him alone in the department and decided to take it out me. Very unprofessional and just plain wrong. Even when I sided with him and told him hey I understand but there is no reason to take it out on me. I was more than patient waiting over 20 min to be helped and he refused to help me and called a manager to help me. This is literally right down the street and I now have to make my way to the La Esperanza and Safeway where they are way nicer to there customers than here. Guess what still waiting to hear from a manager and I'm not holding my breath. Good luck folks read more

I needed some pork for tacos for dinner tonight. I wanted the stuff my dad used to get on his way home from work...the authentic pork you get at the market where no one speaks english, the whole pig is being cooked and you have any piece to chose from. To be honest, I was expecting a run-down dirty grocery store with slim pickings. The kind of place where you know the food is really good, but it is almost too dirty for you to want to buy anything. I was very surprised when I walked into La Hacienda! It is super clean, fresh produce, meat, salsa...they have a taqueria. Their food is very fresh and really yummy. They have everything from marinated chicken and steak to chicken feet and cow tongue. And their sampling table...wow. I thought they had some kind of event going on. When I realized it was for samples I took advantage and tried all their salsa, cheese, meats... If you want something out of the ordinary that you won't find at a "regular" store...say cactus, papaya, huge-ass home made pork rinds this is your place. Their prices for produce, meat, cheese and seafood are really good. Especially for the quality - not that I got anything other than the cooked pork but it all looked really fresh. Things like eggs, butter, mile were on the pricier side. But then again, you really don't go to this kind of store for that...in my opinion. Check this place out. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised too. read more

This store has the basics. Easy to grab what you need and get in and out. The mango drink at the juice bar is delicious!

Lizette or whatever her name is working the register is rude very very rude she needs to work in the back where she dose t have to work with people because obviously she can't handle it at all even after the attitude I said thank u and she rolled her eyes when the guy before me got a have a good day papi sorry I wasn't as cute as your little boyfriend read more

Yes it'a grocery store and grocery stores sometimes have awesome food. This a great place for cheap, fast, and yummy food. Do you like large portions? do you like agua fresca? do you like hearing Spanish in a Mexican restaurant? Did you answer yes? Then go there and try it out! Recommendations: tacos $1.25 each super nachos $4.99 (enough for at least 2 people) combo plates are good and cheap agua fresca is $1.89 read more

We had our baby shower catered by La Superior and the service was excellent! All of our guests raved about the delicious food and aguas frescas. Also, Antonio was very flexible and accommodating to our many changes, which was greatly appreciated! They arrived early and were ready to go when we were! Overall great experience! I would book them again. Thank you guys!! read more

We had a food event to promote healthy food at the store. We had a store tour, good produce, selections of spices, etc. The store owner seems to be receptive of healthy food promotion and I'm hoping that they get rid of soda! They also sell prepare food and have tables and chairs. read more

Unfriendly employees that never crack a smile, say hello, and wouldn't dare say a simple thank you. Picked up a bag of fruit that was filled with mold, passed on a cottage cheese that was being sold with an expiration date of May 27 (I was there in on June 10...14 days past expiration!!). Ordered 6 chicken tamales but was given cheese tamales which I didn't know until I got home. Tasteless beans and rice. Hardly an experience that would ever make me want to return. read more

Great store for ingredients to make Mexican food dishes. Has everything all in one store.

I walk in to La Superior and feel like I'm in Mexico. The Mexican music is playing, the signs are in Spanish, pretty much all Latino workers speaking Spanish and with that friendly, welcoming smile to greet you when you walk into the market. It's such a wonderful feeling. The prices are reasonable and they have an ample selection of not only Mexican products but other general grocery items too. I come here for their affordable produce. The produce guys really know their fruits and vegetables. I've received great tips on how to select a ripe avocado and even how to keep the guacamole green longer (add un poquito de mayonesa). But, it's not just tips on avocados that you'll get. They are pleased to help you out with selecting any produce. They'll even give you a taste sample of the produce if you ask for it. This grocery store is clean, organized and roomy. I can spend a long time going up and down each isle looking at all the interesting items they sell. Don't forget to check out their baked goods too where you can buy some fresh made pan dulce to go with your cafe in the morning. This is a great supermarket with the Latino sabor (flavor)! read more
