    I have to say, out of all the Northgate locations I've visited, this one is top tier. The only thing it's missing is the margarita bar like the one at the Costa Mesa location. That said, the butchery and seafood sections consistently have some of the freshest cuts and the most helpful attendants. The produce selection is also outstanding, both high quality and expansive. On top of that, the staff here is always kind and welcoming. This evening, though, Sipriana A. at the food section is what really inspired me to leave this review. After a long work week and a very lazy Friday night, she made some tacos for me and the smell alone was phenomenal. The tripas tacos were top notch, and I'm very picky about them. I like them a little crispy, and these were exactly right. Beyond the great food, Sipriana herself was a total vibe. After a long week, her energy was such a mood booster. I hope she gets a shoutout from her employer because that kind of positivity and customer service really stands out.

    Mold is all over the cupcakes and packaging.

    The food is completely uncared for, they do not stored their products properly or review their stock before selling. The service was not satisfactory and felt rushed. They did not provide a hotline to make a more detailed report even though this is a very serious matter considering it was consumed by me and my family. The store did not respond with concerns or worry, they moved passed it like nothing and did not seem to care for my side of the story.

    When I'm around the area, I like to stop by for lunch in this market. It's clean and their selection of lunch is nice. They have tortas, sushi, burritos, tacos, made to order. Service is on point , they are very friendly. They have different lunch special mon- fri. Lunch+drink for $11 + tax , what a deal. They also have a bakery, avocado in house made, and many hot lunch selections, priced by the pound. Awesome place , parking lot does get crowded

    Will forever love northgate for its convenience if you're looking for groceries, but food, ceviche, bakery, agua frescas and more. I recently went to this location and saw they sold shoes and some clothing. The store is always clean and there's a large parking lot.

    Hot food needs to be fresh. It's dry and a fish taste not fresh. If I can I would give it a 0 star review

    Carne Asada Torta and Passion Fruit Agua Fresca.

    Great Mexican Market! But they have everything a traditional market has and more! This is my go to when I make traditional dishes like tamales, enchiladas, carne asada, etc. I used to go to multiple places to get the best ingredients but now I can get everything here. I also love that they have a hot bar, bakery, fresh cheese, fresh tortillas, great butcher, and rotisserie style chicken and carnitas. Sometimes we go there just for the Tortas and the Agua fresca, all the flavors are great but my new favorite is passion fruit.

    This Northgate Market is a one stop shop for all our Latin cuisine grocery needs. Avocados, Tamales, Meat, Tres Leches, etc. are what I purchase on my way back home from work. Location is super convenient for me. Aisles are clear. Lot of checkout counters! Meat line moves pretty fast! For great deals and an efficient shopping experience, I definitely recommend this store!

    Carne al pastor

    Almost $9 for a pound and half of Al pastor carne full of fat pieces. Sucks that I had to be digging through my meat to take out the fat pieces.

    Do they sell masa for tamales?

    As far as I know, they do, since it's an Hispanic market.

    How are the fresh flour tortillas by the dozen?

    Yes!

    Are the tamales any good? Are they made and sold daily? Or is it just a seasonal or one day a week thing? I was thinking of buying some.

    I think they're pretty good and they make them daily. They have a self serve station to pick your own. They have a big selection (chicken, pork, beef, cheese, and sweet (pineapple?)). I do feel that the ones from the La Habra location were better… 

    Do they still have Guacamole lady at the front of the store? Homemade & worth the five pounds you will gain!

    Yes!!

    Been some years since I have been here still a cozy place music flowing and a big screen to watch…read morethe games. Mostly tables of 4 persons. But future is coming for this place a place across from Mi Burrito is a former Filipino restaurant they have acquired it and by autumn to winter Mi Burrito will be in a larger facility and some up coming perks that would customers would love from want I am told. My wife got cocito sopa it look great enough beef and vegetables and cabbage and potatoes. Onions and limes on the side she is on heaven she is dealing with bronchitis and this help so much I got the wet burrito with green chili pork, first time having this. Very very good with beans and rice mixed in. Sauce mixed red and green and guac no sour cream. Good burrito definitely. Very clean establishment and customer service is on point. Welcoming and experienced thank you David for you customer service nice to see in wait staff. I will return and also going to tray there Whitter location as well. Looking forward to seeing the new establishment

    Great burritos, their salsa tastes amazing, and huge portions…read more I got a wet veggie burrito, half and half sauce, and it was a treat. It came with 4 tostada shells and salsa verde. Food was good, the burrito sauces were tasty and flavored well. I could easily share this portion size with another person. The hostess handling patrons and customers was super sweet to work with and order from. She did an amazing job handling customers that came into the restaurant. The restaurant itself was quite packed, get there early to secure a seat or (see if you can) call ahead of time. The price for the burrito was more expensive than typical places which is why I'd rate it 4/5 stars, otherwise 5 star food!

    Worse service! I am…read morenot too sure if the person who my order was done with his shift but even if he was, definetely has no customer service skills. I asked a question about their aguas frescas and the guy answered super sarcastic. At that point I didn't even feel like asking anything else. I had a very long busy day and just because of that I don't go answering people sarcastically when asked something. Food wise, the tacos my bf order were not the greatest. He ordered lengua, buche and suadero. Lengua was a little tough and the other two had no flavor. As for my order, I had quesa birria tacos and they were okay, the salsa and chile made a difference, can't say the same for my bf order. Let's talk about cleanliness, floors dirty, tables dirty. I can understand it was a busy night because there seem to be having students and parents from a Friday night high school football game but I believe this is the time where they should be on their A game and have someone walking around cleaning tables. Salsa area was a mess and noone to clean it. This was our first and last time coming in.
