La Bodega is a neighborhood hispanic grocery store chain with locations throughout Southern CA…read more They carry all sorts of goods and products including produce, a meat market and much more. This location is on Anaheim street in Long Beach in a neighborhood that has been up and coming. It is one of their smallest locations. There is a tiny parking lot and limited street parking. There are no thrills and it is out of my way. But what i go there for, is their delicious grilled chicken. It is sort of a secret that i have been, in a selfish way, reluctant to share for a long time. They have a charcoal fired grilled chicken station setup in their parking lot and only on weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) from about 9am to 6pm. If you happen to be driving by and didn't know about them. The smell alone would make you hungry and draw you in. They cook their chicken on coals. The rub that they use is so incredibly tasty. The whole chicken is only $15. It comes with a good amount of tortillas and a house made pico de gallo salsa. It is some of the best street food grilled chicken I've ever had. Ever since i discovered this hidden gem a few years ago, I've been going there just about every weekend to get my chicken fix. Great prices, friendly service. amazing grilled chicken. It is a must have in your arsenal. I highly recommend it.

There is a butcher at the front as well. In the back they have a kitchen and small eating area that may remind you of your abuela's house. The cook took our order and it came out hot and ready within 5-10 minutes. We both got asada burritos and they were delicious!!! The only complaint was that the burritos were not wrapped well but everything inside it was delicious. The service was great, a lady, the owner maybe, greeted us and made sure our order was correct. Definitely a hole in the wall but don't sleep on this place!

Arteaga's is a small market that carries a pretty good selection of daily essentials. From shampoo,…read moreto cat treats, cooking spices, and Tupperware. The prices are also very low in comparison to the surrounding stores, as there is a lot of competition. If you walk in further enough to the back, you will be teleported to an authentic Mexican restaurant. No, I am not kidding. There are always hot dishes ready. Such as costillas de puerco en salsa verde, egg and cactus, adobo pork, chiles rellenos, ect. The rest is made fresh to order. My usual is a carne Asada burrito. Their rice and beans are great, but what I absolutely love is their salsa! Amazing! Add sour cream and cheese for a dollar more. On the weekends they have Birria. Also known as my all time favorite Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend it. I go here at least twice a week when I don't want to cook. Never disappointed. It's funny because this is LITERALLY yet another, hole-in-the-wall. Props to my mom for telling me about this place. Everything we try is good! The cooks are really sweet and attentive! And there's nice inside seating! Considering it is a restaurant inside of a small market... It's a great find! 4 stars Arteaga's!

Update. 12-8-2025 There's an odd response from the owner…read moreapparently taking pictures of her Market for my Yelp review made me a "suspicious character" I also took a pic of the storefront of her market not her "customer " as she stated I didn't realize there was a person in the background I have since deleted the picture. Her response to my review is long detailed and very odd to me because my review is positive with details and pictures so her cherry picking my entire review is perplexing to say the least. I wish her continued success. Shawn C. My Yelp Review. I love getting out to support new businesses I saw Idowu African market on TikTok I wanted to stop by and show my support Located in a quiet residential neighborhood it's lowkey and a few blocks from the beach. With very limited parking on the street it took a minute for me to find a spot 5 minutes later a spot opened up in front of the market. Upon entering I'm greeted by a tall woman with a beautiful accent and smile. I realize that the beef & chicken patties I stopped in for is frozen and they only have spicy and no chicken. I looked around the store to see what they have and its small store with lots of interesting items and I immediately zero in on something good. Here's what I chose. Spicy Beef patties They baked up very well didn't taste too spicy and had a nice flavor I definitely will return and purchase them again. 8/10 Spicy plantain chips very crunchy with a nice kick they have a salt sweet thing going on. 8/10 Chin Chin It's tasty and I appreciate the kind and free gift. 6/10 Spiced Bun Thick and not very sweet I love it with a piece of 10/10 Matouks Pepper Sauce. Very good 10/10 This store appears to still being stocked but they have lots of specialty items and theres so much I want to try. Until next time. Just me Shawn C

Amazing little grocery store specializing in hard-to-find West African ingredients. They have every…read morekind of fufu flour imaginable (yam, plantain, cassava), spices and hot sauces, dried hibiscus, frozen goat meat, and beverages like soursop juice or ginger malt. Honestly I didn't know what half this stuff was or how to cook it, but it was so fun discovering new foods. Walking in was like traveling to a little corner shop in Ghana or the Ivory Coast. Totally unpretentious and "authentic" in its simple stark white shelves stocked with packets of powders, cans, and seeds. Both the owner (a woman) and the store employee (a man) are very helpful explaining how you can use something. If you're an adventurous home chef and you want to cook something different, give this little hidden gem a try. Our fufu turned out great! And for those of you for whom this is your family's cuisine of origin, I can tell you that I took a friend there who's from West Africa. For what it's worth, she was crying tears of joy over the dried fish and frozen cassava leaves, so I take that as a big YES. (Sorry, though, no East African foods... Go to Anaheim if you want Ethiopian ingredients ;) ).

The space itself is kinda like a single shop brick and mortar that's a bit run downed. Nothing fancy just a mix of Islander influenced clothing, souvenirs and minimal food such as chops, cookies, drinks, cookies, and fresh taro. However no fresh food/meals as I hoped for. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Solid. Straight business. Can't complain. TL; DR OVERALL: 3.5 Stars. A solid place that gets the job done. Reasonable price and a few unique items. If you're looking for commercial stuff like Hawaiian stuff, this ain't the place. I wish they had more stuff to offer. TIPS: * Most known for Samaon Taro.
