I have idyllic memories of this store from my childhood where starting in 1974 we would stop here to pick up necessities while visiting my Grandparents who lived in the 'big white house' on Farm Rd. Back then we nicknamed it 'the M & M store' because we were always treated to M & M's. There were inexpensive toys for purchase that we always looked forward to getting during our shopping excursions to help us pass the time. Neighbors relied on this store to get fresh milk and produce and it was a lifesaver as my Grandparents only went to Vegas once a month to shop at a full size grocery store. Over the years I continued to return to this store as an adult when I'd visit the Amargosa, and after my Grandparents died I would visit with Marta Becket in DVJ and get my supplies here. Sunny is a delight and it's been so heartwarming to see this formerly very rough little store turn into a very inviting shop & restaurant. I don't know when it first opened under the original ownership but the fact that it's remained a vital Amargosa Valley market these past 54 years for me is precious. Thank you Martell's for being a constant treasure in my life. read more

What a relief to find this place! We stayed at an air bnb nearby and this was our saving grace for being able to eat somewhat normal while away from home. They seem to constantly stock their supplies and you can find a little of everything here. We liked all the taco meat, fresh eggs and pot pies! read more

This market is a total rip off. These people are without any sense of how to run a business. They are very rude. Don't waste your time or money! read more

Great selection and extremely friendly and hospitable people, I highly recommend especially if you are staying at the nearby Airbnb as we were! read more

We were spending two nights in Death Valley during a recent road trip. Knowing from experience that National Park concessionaires have high prices and limited menus in their dining establishments, we carried plenty of snacks, fruit and beverages with us. We had debated about bringing a loaf of bread, squeeze bottles of mayo and mustard and some lunch meats along with pre-cut lettuce and tomatoes but as usual, plan as we did, we ran out of time. When we arrived and checked out the offerings, we found them even more dismal than anticipated. Fortunately, we had some left-overs from our night in Bakersfield that really helped save our bacon, so to speak. After doing some early morning exploring in Death Valley, we decided to take a drive outside of the park and went to Beatty, where we had breakfast. When we go on road-trips, we like to take circular paths rather than go back the same way we came out so we decided to explore further. We thought about our original thought of bread and fixings so she looked up grocery stores and found Martell Market. What caught her eye was two-fold, that it was literally out in the middle of nowhere AND they appeared to serve Asian dishes. We set up the GPS and began driving. The directions were spot on and we arrived at what I called, their compound. There was the market, another tall building to the side, that at a glance, looked like it might be a garage. We weren't sure and we were really only interested in the market. When we got out of our car, the first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. Other then the sound of our car cooling, silence. It was awesome. We walked up the steps and entered the store and were greeted by a man sitting behind the register. We said hi and began to walk around looking throughout the store. And what a store it was. It had just about everything you might want if you were living out in the middle of nowhere and needed something to eat or drink, or fix your house or car. From fan belts to light bulbs to milk to ice cream to corn husks for tamales and fish sauce to cook Vietnamese food. They had it! When we made it back up to the front, the man had been joined by an Asian woman who also greeted us. We told them what a great store they had and that we were really there to try out their food. Her face went sad when she told me that they had closed the kitchen and restaurant three months earlier because of the lack of business. They explained that COVID-19 drove many other businesses out of town and with no jobs, the employees left as well. With a lack of guests, they couldn't afford to keep their kitchen staff on payroll and had to lay them off. Then her face lit up when she asked if we were hungry? If we were, she would make us something. We thanked her and said no, but she insisted and asked if Yakisoba would be okay. Of course! Very few things I love more than a nice plate or bowl of noodles! She walked away and we began chatting with the man. His name was Ed and hers was Sunny. Husband and wife, they owned the Market and adjoining restaurant, the hardware store (that I though had looked like a garage) and several other associated businesses. We had a great conversation even though we were politically incompatible but fully agreed that free speech was one of the great things of our country. Sunny was gone for about 25 minutes and when she came out, she presented us with two styro clamshells of food. Both were exactly the same and very heavy. She said that she didn't know if we liked seafood or meat so she gave us prawns and chicken meatballs in both orders. She also didn't know what level of spice we enjoyed so she threw in a container of hot chili oil. Forks and napkins completed the order. A custom made dish cooked by the owner cost us exactly $7.99 each. Way cheaper than anything you can find in the greater Bay Area for comparable quality. I can only imagine how good their food would be if it weren't for COVID. Without a doubt, meeting Ed and Sunny was one of the highlights of our road trip. Good down-to-Earth people that offer hospitality and kind words. If you're anywhere near their store, drop by and say hi. We certainly will! read more

There have only been a few times where I've experienced a truly at-home and welcome feeling in businesses - Martell Market is by far the gold standard this. I was checking out the nearby Big Dune (Amargosa Sand Dunes) when my car got stuck in the sand - 100 F weather - and terrible cell signal. Abandoned by my own insurance company, the towing companies they called - we got in contact with a local tow company that told us to call Ed and Sunny Martell at the Martell Market. Ed spoke with us on the phone and was more than helpful - and familiar with where we were stuck in the dirt. He know exactly where we were which was crazy - but also highlights how often people get stuck here. Alberto and another employee from Martell came in this yellow Jeep to rescue us! And we followed them back to the Market to pay - where I was able to meet one of the owners, Sunny Martell. + TOWING: Two of the employees at Martell rescued us with their 4x4 Jeep Wrangler and were able to tow us out of the sand relatively quickly. If you get stuck here, call this market and they'll be able to help you out - they're too kind - even offered us food/drinks on the way to rescue us!! + DINER FOOD: Sunny is a super, super sweet Taiwanese lady who runs "Sunny's Kitchen" inside of the market. Her cooking is AMAZING and honestly this wasn't a meal I was expecting in between the border of Nevada/California. I had her chicken chow mein and dumplings - definitely homemade, fresh, and delicious. Could not recommend it more highly. + GROCERIES/OTHER: This market has a wide variety of American, Hispanic, and Asian snacks/staples available. + OTHER SERVICES: While I didn't get to try these (yet) - Sunny mentioned they used to run a dog grooming station, bed and breakfast, and can provide local tours (to nearby farms, scenic areas). + KINDNESS: I cannot stress more highly how kind Sunny was to us. She offered us food once we were there, gave my dog a bone, and even sent us LOADS of bread for the road. In my very broken Chinese, we conversed - and she was very motherly in taking care of my gf and I - honestly kinder than our own moms we joked. Definitely drop by - or call them if you are stuck nearby in the sand dunes - they will not only help you out - but take care of you. I am so appreciative of our experience here and cannot wait to be back again someday! read more

Here's a crazy story about how we almost died but Sunny and her family of Martell Market rescued us. My boyfriend wanted to visit the Amargosa Sand Dunes to take quick photos but on the way there his car got stuck in the sand. It was about 100 degrees, we had our puppy with us, and barely any reception. We tried calling insurance/roadside assistance who told us they couldn't help us since they didn't have cars that could ride in the sand and to use branches to get traction under our tires and basically left us there to die. Luckily I was able to call the nearest towing company who told me they couldn't help us either, BUT they knew that Martell Market that might be able to. I was a bit confused but called. I didn't know who I was even talking to at first, but they were so willing to help us - quick to figure out where we were, to send someone out and even offered us food/water! I later found out it was Sunny, her husband, and her nephew/niece who helped answer my phone calls. They were all very attentive and helpful during this time where we thought we'd be left stranded in the middle of the desert. Her husband immediately sent out his employee Alberto and another employee to come save us I was surprised they even found us so quickly. We ended up following them back to the market since we had to pay for their amazing service and actually met Sunny in person. She showed us so much hospitality - fed us some chow mein and dumplings, gave us bread, and our puppy a treat! She's so giving, sweet, and the kindest soul you'll ever encounter. We're so glad we got to meet her in person. If you're ever in the area you need to visit her market! Half of the place is also a restaurant and the food was amazing - you won't regret stopping by. Also if you're ever stuck in Ambargosa Sand Dunes area please call Martell Market for help!! Thank you Sunny and her family for saving our lives, otherwise we could've died out there! in read more

Kind proprietors who run a place that's priceless in the food desert that is the Amargosa Valley.

Stopped into this place after completing the Echo Canyon 4WD trail out of Death Valley. Talk about an Oasis in the desert! Serious A/C on a 95+ degree day was very welcome after four hours on the trail. And the best part: Sunny's Kitchen, a small kitschy add on diner in the back. We were served by Sunny herself and had great burger and fries while we chatted with the owner. My girlfriend and I even left with some swanky handbags! It's clearly the locals kind of place, serving as many needs as it can for the nearby farms. Everyone was greeted on a first name basis and it wouldn't surprise me if they extended credit for those who lived nearby. These sorts of places are what compel me to choose the road less taken. And it makes all the difference. read more

We just arrived in Amorgosa Valley. After addressing tire pressure issues we tried to find somewhere to eat. A Mexican restaurant closed just before we managed to get there, so we went to Martell's Market. Sonny was clutching her purse, about to leave. The men were watching Monday night football. Sonny decided to cancel her mani-pedi, and instead she rustled up grub for the five of us. We ate like kings and queens like we were home. We chatted with the guys and thanked Sonny for treating us well. After paying (cheap at twice the price) Sonny insisted on giving us pastries for breakfast, no charge. We are very happy with Martell Market. read more

If you live nearby or are just passing thru, the Martell Market is a great place to stop and shop! The Martell Market is just off of Hwy 95 in Amargosa Valley, only a few short miles down Valley View to Amargosa Farm Rd., go right about 3/4 of a mile, it will be on the left. Don't waste your money at the Area 51 Alien Shop or the Chevron across the street, if you want spectacular food, you have to try Sunny's Kitchen! OMG! They have the greatest menu of all American favorites, like cheeseburgers that are barbequed fresh on the grill, delicious hot french fries, incredible chicken nuggets, hot dogs, philly cheese steak sandwiches and more! Not to mention Sunny,....easily, by far, hands down, makes the best Chinese food within a 100 miles radius! Yumm! Awesome fried rice, orange chicken and more! Generous portions, very low price and always served directly to you hot and fresh! You can't top Sunny's Kitchen, i'd bet money on that! and....the Martell Market also has a general store for most all of your grocery store needs as well as a large hardware store with tons of home repair items, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, tools and they even have big 50 lb bags of animal food, rabbit pellets, bird seed and a bunch of other stuff! This is a true home town market with all the bells and whistles and they always give you great service and a warm hearted smile! I even saw they offer a car washing service! When I was there, I had a almost flat tire and my car wouldn't have made it all the way to the Alien 51 Gas Station and Ed & Sunny went and got their air compressor and saved my day! They were able to put air in my tire and I was able to patch it, thank goodness! (Much too my surprise....they also had a small supply of tires for sale too!) I mean WOW! This little Market has it all! read more

You're likely visiting Death Valley or driving to/from Las Vegas if you find yourself in this middle of nowhere area. Well, this market is the best market for a 50-mile radius. We were visiting Death Valley and staying at Beatty, and this is the only place where we could get vegetables and fruit. --- this is not an exaggeration Fortunately, this store has everything, and the owner, Sunny, is a complete sweetheart as well. There's food from tacos, to sandwiches, to Chinese food and pizza, and everything is very reasonably priced ---- unlike those ridiculously priced gas stations out in the middle of nowhere. She sells hardware too, which can be handy information if you find yourself needing hardware in the middle of nowhere. Worth a visit for sure! read more

MORE THAN JUST A MARKET, if you need help just ask!! I had the pleasure of working with Martell Market & Ed for one of our corporate client accounts locally in Las Vegas, the customers were stuck in the Armagosa Dunes and was referred to Ed with Martell Market by Indian Springs Towing; upon calling I was unsure what a market would be able to do, then I met Ed a local man who winches people out of the dunes & our customers were safe in 1.5 hours! They had been waiting for help evidently for over 5hrs when we learned of of the situation. Martell Market & team were nothing short of excellent, calling every 30 minutes to follow up until they located them & finally a call that the customers were safe & being in the towing industry it was nice to see people that work like we do! I can not say enough about this company, we stand behind them, recommend them & look forward to when we can work with them again!! read more

Great little market and restaurant. We are vegetarian, and asked Miss Sunny about her vegetarian options, and she went back to the kitchen and cooked us a completely fresh and healthy vegetarian meal. It was delicious, and well-priced! It definitely hit the spot after a long day of hiking in Death Valley. She was super sweet, and even said she'd make us a new meal if we didn't like it! No need, because it was great! She also told us about how she gets her produce fresh everyday from Las Vegas. If you're a vegetarian in need of delicious food, this is definitely a place to stop if you're nearby! read more
