    Egg, cheese, bacon and cilantro burrito.... Yum!
    Sharon G.

    Been here a couple times. Rolled tacos once and that a breakfast burrito. Fresh and delish. The bacon was crispy. Everything made fresh with a smile.

    We were nearby and stopped in to check it out. It's a little store with some Latin groceries, canned goods, and hot foods. We bought some spices and headed to the counter. I noticed the arepas and ordered one, along with an al pastor taco. My fiancé ordered the carnitas taco to try and we asked for "dine in". They had some tables inside and some outside. Our food was made to order. I originally gave them my ticket but they handed me the wrong order but I had my receipt so I did get the correct order after I let them know there was a mistake. The taco was a hefty portion with a double corn tortilla. I had asked for salsa and they gave me a small portion. It was just enough salsa but I would have liked more. I was so full, I could only manage two bites of the cheese arepa before wrapping it back up to take home. Mercado Corona has some decent eats! As far as the groceries go, YMMV, so check the expiration dates before paying for your food.

    I've been to this store a handful of ocassions and very spreaded out apart. EVERY SINGLE TIME they've sold me EXPIRED ITEMS. The milk on a can, the argentinian chocolate at the cashier had mold on it! And a lot of the items on the aisle were months expired. I will advice the administration to FIX this problem as I read over and over this is a HUGE problem at that store. Frustrating to have a latin store not doing great costumer service and having products that are way expired.

    Porque venden productos vencidos? Abri una Inca Kola y no tenia nada de gas, cero, la bote toda. Resulta que todas estaban vencidas! No me conviene ir a devolverlas, pierdo tiempo y dinero. Solo me queda botarlas todas y perder mi dinero. Uno no puede estar mirando cada producto a ver si esta vencido o no, uno confia que son productos frescos o vigentes, no pasados, expirados o malogrados.

    a hole-in-the-wall type of gem. inflation is a thing now, so I was disappointed when I heard my total cost after surrendering my money. But when I got my pastor and tilapia tacos, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. I had to take out some of the tilapia just to fold my taco lmao I've always thought tacos could be good or bad, but these were some of the best I've had from a restaurant. Meat was freshly hot, the sauce on the tilapia was nice and creamy, and the red sauce was *chef's kiss*.

    I ended up having lunch @ the Mercado Corona just by happenstance. This is what happens when you arrive early before the original intended restaurant opens. (i.e. - 15 minutes to kill) Sorry Mint, I'm standing you up for Mexican today.) Store front: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=nrEd0zF1r6b23qTkqjJTtg In all truthfulness, if I was going to try ANY other place within this small, congested parking, strip mall like plaza, it would've been La Michoacana. It's just a couple of doors down BUT again, I had no intention of eating any place else besides Mint Restaurant. It was just an effort to kill some time before they opened... - "Hola chica'changa!" Store front - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=nrEd0zF1r6b23qTkqjJTtg&userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ This entire plaza is like stepping into Little Me'hico, less the street vendors and bad water... I liked it! It's a cool little Mexican grocery mart/deli. I wish I knew what half of the items were on Mercado Corona's menu board. Back in high school I thought it was a great idea to study French and in my downtime, Japanese... It has been so very helpful, NOT. (SMH) I was hungry and slightly overwhelmed by the the predominantly non-English menu board, feeling "Lost in Mexi-cation." I wasn't too far from just saying forget it and doing an about face right out the shop. Menu board: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=m-r9RE7QrHxshKrXUuuM3A The saving grace of my visit came from, Alejandra. If it wasn't for her help and patience, I would've ended up definitely ended up @ Mint for their lunch buffet. (True story.) Alejandra was great; there was another young lady prepping the agua frescas who was also very nice. Everyone else, "M'eh." Note: Mint Restaurant no longer offers lunch buffet. (Bummer.) Breaking protocol: My default, go-to, menu item of choice is an al pastor burrito, IF al pastor is offered... 'And they did! Alejandra recommended I try one of their plate lunches and I did! The al pastor was okay; the chile colorado was good. The $7.99 plate lunch came with refried beans, rice, and four corn tortillas. Fried chiles are available by request.. Chile: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=8TKCxSafdCzWLs3gcXep_A Especiale - Chile colorado ($7.99): https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=wG13jVU6r50lQWEYcnUWKw Al pastor: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=Z1_60-qs_ZnyVwsfuDhAiQ Note: There is no self-serve salsa bar to help yourself to yellow peppers, jalapeños, or pico del gallo; nothing. I found a missing salsa bar to be a bit surprising. Maybe it's all by request only and extra $$? (Shrugs) Pineapple fresca: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=UD1fsPeIeUg4ALiV8GNBXw Especiales - chile colorado ($7.99) Agua fresca - pineapple med ($2.50) Total: $11.30 (+ tip) Several people came in behind me and everything I saw coming out of the kitchen looked good; I'll definitely return to try "everything." Dining area: https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mercado-corona-laguna-hills?select=5viG4Y8kTUsxcfs8ipt6vg Overall rating: 4 Stars (Rounding up) *Customer service can make all the difference between a three or four star rating. - Big Aloha!

    What a wonderful store! The real Cadbury chocolates, violet Crump, you name the brand and it's here…read moreat This origins world foods market. Service was great as I walked in I was given a salutation, and asked if I needed assistance as I browsed. They had meat pies from England. Play smells great, very friendly open atmosphere, enough for a wheelchair or mobile device to get through each market aisle. The only thing I'd like to mention is the fact that a few of the items that I would get here that I'm familiar with I can purchase a few dollars cheaper elsewhere. However, if I want to buy it all in one location, and save gas money and try something new then this is the place to be so therefore it gets five stars. The community appreciated this unique grocery store. It was really nice seeing free chocolates for the kids sign outside as well.

The shop is also very well organized and their offerings range from snacks (sweet, salty, savory, mainly) to condiments, teas, coffees, sauces and spices...they even have frozen goods, some decor, and some pots. When I went, there was also a couple of discount carts. Plus, they handed out samples! I didn't recognize much, so I asked for a rundown and some recommendations, which was really helpful. I came away with some Tim Tams, Dallmayr coffee beans, Monaco espresso, Tayto chips, and some teas, cookies, and cakes to try. Service is pretty friendly, and parking is super easy in the lot.

I had a question regarding bakery items, and especially for halva. The lady behind the counter was soo nice and helpful. Using my american farsi she was able to help me without judgment and guide me. Pro tip: you can order halva 2-3 days prior and have it made in small individual servings depending on quantity of people . For non persians reading this: God forbid someone has a funeral, memorial service, celebration of life, "halva " is something that is served along with "khorma" dates with walnuts. People like me, dont know how to make it. So its nice to know if that time comes and its needed , its an option to order ahead of time and have the custom items for our tradition to be available. The guy at the cheese/deli counter was also super helpful with me when ordering my feta bulgar cheese. We love our cheese, with walnuts. So since i was trying this one out, i decided to get a small size with the water in a separate container. Overall i like it here. Only issue, is the pricing. Mission ranch market a few miles down is more cost efficient and lower in cost for the value compared to here. So if you need to grab some items its worth coming here as it's closer. But if you are looking to go full in grocery shopping, i think MR market is better in terms of value and quality. Id come here and see for yourself.

Their carne asada is pricey here compared to our local market, at our our local grocery store the carne asada was priced at $8.99 lb and here for flap meat ranchero carne asada it was $15.97 lb (wow!). Their price tags were not aligned correctly at the meat counter so it was a bit confusing on how much you were actually paying for the meat. I also picked up a pack of freshly made corn tortillas which was still warm since it is made daily. Keep in mind the employees do not speak English here so if you have questions it can be a little difficult to communicate. I would like to come back to try their hot food based on some of the reviews I've read. My overall rating is a 3.5.
