I briefly popped in because I just wanted to grab some fruit because I got a new chili powder that I wanted to taste and I didn't wanna go to the house of cutting fruit so I just went to Northgate where they always have pre-cut fruit. I got cucumbers and jicama and two limes I went to pay and I asked the cashier if they had any disposable knives so I can cut my limes and she said I don't think so. I think all we have is forks and I'm like oh it's OK no worries thank you though she said do you want me to ask the kitchen if they can cut the limes for you? I'm like really sure that would be great. I paid it was like less than six dollars. She grabbed my limes ran to the kitchen. I had to wait like a couple of minutes and she came back out with them cut and to me that is honestly what I love about our culture what I love about customer service that she didn't have to do that. She didn't have to go out of her way. She didn't have to stop what she was doing in her line in her cashier position, but she was super friendly super customer service oriented that that Little meant so much to me because it legit just made my life 10 times easier than what I was about to try to do with getting a knife to cut my limes. I hate that I didn't get her name, but I think if this is red, they'll know who I'm talking about great job for hiring amazing staff. I've always gone to Northgate and still will continue to do so. read more

Northgate Market - Bakeries Near Me - Placentia, California

A great place to go to if you're looking for specific foods & they have a lot of affordable fruits, vegetables, and flowers in comparison to other grocery stores. However, the location of the store isn't in the nicest part of town. They don't offer as many options for baked goods and produce in comparison to other grocery stores. The workers are very kind and accommodating- most of them speak both English and Spanish at this location. read more

We like coming here they have all the goodies for barbecuing chips and salsa and guacamole, delicious fruits and snacks. They have everything here today we came for some chips and salsa and I made some guacamole. I got a giant Chicharron to try and some other snacks and mangos. I like this location but it's always busy. The parking lot is always full, but we seem to always find a spot. The workers here are really nice. It's a smallish store. I like the one in Whittier, but we decided to come here since it's a bit closer. But love the store for barbecue nights, thank you for excellent service and all the delicious food you guys have and for always having fresh guacamole and salsa and chips. Not my favorite chips, but they're pretty good. I recommend this location though it's nearby and they have everything you need. Have a beautiful day be kind to everyone :) Aloha read more

They have a good range of products and quality is decent. I'm not giving them a higher review because they need to do something about safety at this Northgate. There is a lot of weird loitering and sketchy activity at the entrance, and around the whole shopping center. I've also purchased chicken from the butcher counter but when I got home and opened it, the chicken smelled spoiled so I had to throw it out. Northgate could do more to clean this location up. read more

This is by far the WORST champurrado I've ever had in my life! I paid $6 for a drink that had so many huge chunks of I don't know what. It took away from the actual drink itself and yes, I actually mixed it with the spoon before pouring it in my cup so it looked how it's supposed to be. I couldn't even drink it with the top on since the chunks covered the hole where you sip out of. Not to be nasty but it looks like vomit. read more

This place is great, the staff is always very very nice. Except one thing; they get their bread from another northgate. So I don't get my bread from there, it's lowkey as hard as a rock. I get my bread from the north gate south of the 57. And that northgate sucks balls. But this place is always better with everything read more

My go to store for masa for tortillas, home made chips and salsa, or any thing I can't find at my local Ralphs / Stater Brothers. Cashiers are always friendly! It's tucked in a busy strip mall but there's plenty of parking. You can always find a soccer game playing on the TVs and men watching as they pick out their produce lol (it's cute). It's a smaller market but it's clean and well kept. read more

Walked up to their Prospera booth and ask if they take debit cards for money orders. The girl doesn't look up at all and only stays focused on whatever she is doing and reply's "no, cash only". Lost my business. Will never give them my business ever. read more

They are a great super market! Love the shrimp service! Produce really fresh. Great customer service and great prices!

Worst Bolio I ever!! It was so hard and not fresh. Not even warming it in the oven did they get soft! They had a fly in the pan dulce I should have just walked away. Never again! Do not come here for fresh baked bread so disappointed. read more

Smaller store with a decent selection of Hispanic foods. The marinated meat is a bit on the salty side and definitely more pricey than other places, but it grills up nicely. They sometimes have decent deals on produce, but overall, prices are higher than even premium grocery stores for basic things like tortilla chips. I recently purchased the freshly packed pico de gallo and salsa verde from the counter in the back. They were surprisingly disappointing, bland and didn't taste fresh at all. Personally, I'd rather shop at a cleaner store with more variety, better prices, higher quality items. read more

Been on the hunt for good chicharrons for a while and have been coming up short in my home city of Tucson. While visiting family in the Fullerton area, my BIL turned me on to Northgate. Jackpot! Their porkbelly chicharrons are super meaty, super huge and super flavorful. Just the right amount of meat vs fat.....I was in crunchy, succulent heaven. They're pricey but so worth it. Picked up some carnitas as well along with some fresh corn tortillas. While the carnitas were flavorful, they just weren't as good as I'd hoped. The store made corn tortillas were warm and "corny." Just how I like 'em. If you like chicharrons, you need to get yourself to Northgate. read more

I'll pass. read more

Northgate Market - Open and just sitting there. Gross - Bakeries Near Me - Placentia, California

Northgate Gonzalez Market is about half the size of a giant grocery chain store but it has a lot of the charm and appeal that makes it culturally Mexican. Their carniceria (aka Butcher shop) offers an assortment of meats and pre made/seasoned meats for cooking. You also have the option to select hot foods that have been prepared for breakfast (served 6am-11am, while supplies last), lunch and dinner. Seriously, you could buy a whole family sized meal for dinner which can feed 3, 6, 15, and 30 something people. Walking around the store and exploring many of their options, I've found there's a little of everything. I came with my parents and aunts to buy stuff for my grandma's birthday and we were able to get everything we needed (and a few extra stuff). They have a little baked goods section to the far right corner near the registers. Near the entrance there's a place to buy tamales (pork, chicken, and I forgot the third). They even have some juices, too! Some of their product, however, are comparable to products at other stores. For example, I've found that their baby food section is actually a little more pricey than the ones I've found at Target. But if you're pressed for time and don't worry too much about cost, you could buy what you need here. Parking can be a little nightmare since the parking lot isn't very big. Thankfully we were able to find a spot as soon as we drove into the Placentia Plaza. read more

July 2019 We always come here for the Tamales and Agua Frescas!! The location has a private lot shared with the several other eateries, businesses near by. Parking can be limited and hectic. The guacamole, agua fresca, tamales stand is right at the front entrance. Lately their is no worker their so you have to pay at the register for the Agua Frescas. The Guacamole and Tamales are first come first serve packaged. Also near the back of the store they have a Butcher that also offers a meat selection, salsa, guacamole, rice, beans etc. The location is fairly small compared to other locations but theirs always several lines open and the staff here are friendly. I would definitely return. read more

The tilapia Ceviche Used to be made very well about a year ago I do not know who prepares the fish here but they need to get fired or a lesson on how to make and cut the fish the proper way the chunks in the salad are way too big there is more vegetables than meet him thinking there either lazy to cut the fish properly or there in a hurry whatever it is it's very disappointing they need to do something about this The cuts of the fish were very disgusting and rubbery as if it was sitting in lemon juice for 4 days straight. If the fish was diced a little bit more in the paid more attention to ingredients it would be better product and sell better read more

Northgate Market - Nasty ceviche - Bakeries Near Me - Placentia, California

I came here because I love ceviche and did not know there was a a supermarket that sold them! Of course, I grabbed my husband and we went- I could not erase the shrimp cocktail and ceviche from my head after seeing the photos from Yelp and Google- So we went and ordered it- The tastes of the ceviche and the shrimp cocktail are absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed it. Both the ceviche and shrimp cocktail are packed! Unlike other places where ceviche is a piece of fish and some shrimps, Northgate will make sure that you are satisfied! I am definitely coming back here to get more ceviche! So is my husband! We were busy eating but we did look around the store. The store is clean and the produce is fresh and the price is reasonable- El Super is cheaper but I think the produce is better- For sure, I will be coming back here more often! read more

We always come to Northgate because it's the best Mexican market for the cheapest, highest quality Mexican food and other items. Whenever we're gonna have people over at our house, we come here beforehand to get Mexican food for everyone. We order lots of the delicious, marinated meat they sell here (chicken, pork, beef, etc.) cheap but yummy tortillas, and all the essential sauces you need for burritos and tacos. The Spanish rice and beans are bomb here too. And the staff is so nice and welcoming every time we come in. They make sure we have the best experience and they help us in any way they can. Northgate is by far the best Mexican market in the area! If you're looking for somewhere cheap to get anything Mexican food-related, this is the place for you. read more

When I first heard of Northgate Markets, I was very glad that there's a location near my house. This is my go to supermarket when I need some fresh bread, horchata, or even snacks. Very clean and always stocked with goodies. Employees here are always really friendly and it keeps making me want to come back. I took two years of Spanish in high school, so that paid off a bit. I try to speak Spanish when I can, but only the really simple things. read more

I can't come to this Northgate anymore simply because they cannot for the life of them sell me produce that isn't moldy.

Mexican grocery store with good selection in my neighborhood. Their tamales are hot and ready to eat. They have warm food section and a bakery section for Mexican breads and pastries.

Mexican markets can be judged by a few different methods. Cleanliness and size are typical standards, but those say nothing about the store's character. For me, I judge a mercado by its masa, tortillas, chicharron con carne, y nopales. Masa is as simple as corn and water, but as complicated as a Tijuana traffic intersection. The same ingredients mixed the same way but in different places can be ordinary or extraordinary, and who knows why. The BEST places somehow make the BEST masa consistently. All the NGMs I have visited consistently make almost the best. Add an oven and some ladies wearing clean white uniforms (that look was pioneered by White Castle... true!) and you have a tortilla factory. Happiness is picking up a round brick of soft, glowingly warm fresh corn tortillas. I bet there's one waiting for me right now. Now the king of Mexican snacks: chicharron con carne. Holly chit these are good. They look like little ribs, and are best when very fresh. The meat is dry but like bacon only softer. The best ones are crunchy, sweet, bacon like. Pork confit. Hit or miss on the freshness at any NGM; I will know when I get in the car, open the bag, and... mmmmm. Que Bueno. I dunno why more N. Americans don't eat nopales. They are 1 part protein, 3 parts carbs, and very filling. So says the nutrition label. http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/3030/2 And cheap! My Kashi cereal is $1 less a box than at Ralphs or Fat Albertsons. read more

Went to this location yesterday for the first time. Definately wasn't as nice or big as the other Northgate markets I've been to.... I got some carnitas from their kitchen, and when I got to the register , the girl informed me I was entitled to a free 2 liter soda with my meal . I saw the line was getting long .....but before I reply, she was walking away...... She returned a few minutes later with types of soda for me to choose from ! The cashier didn't have to tell me about the free soda , and she didnt have to stop everything to go get it , especially because the line was growing slowly... She went out of her way give great customer service and it was noticed and appreciated. Most people would've let me leave without my soda :) read more

Excellent customer service. A lady named Reyna who works there and was bagging my stuff she noticed my daughter grabbing some sweets from the counter and gave them to my daughter and paid for them with her own money.

I am not really quite sure why i am always so excited to venture into a new Mexican grocery store. It could be that I spent the first 12 years of my life in a heavily latin/hispanic community and I used to have Hispanic babysitters who would feed me tacos and cheese (mmmhmmm cheese). This particular grocery store was one of the cleaner and bigger Spanish Markets that I have been to. Immediately upon walking in you encounter their produce department which seemed to have very fresh produce and fruits. We had to get a container of cut up fruit which went well with our mexican style spicy salt (soooooo goood!) This place also had a really extensive selection of marinated and cut meats. I think we opted for the slices of beef shoulder blade...? it was fajita night for me and gf and the "butcher" recommended we use this. I think I also enjoy going to mexican grocery stores b/c they ALWAYS have different flavors for most of their products like: mayo with lemon, fun mexican sodas, coconut juice, mexican inspired chips/snacks and so so much more. Apparently the prices for this place is a bargain for some of their items so make sure to check out their ad before you go! read more

So, I never heard of this market until my bro Eddy, told me this place has way better food and cheaper, so today I went to get meal prep things for the week, and normally I pay like $239 for my meal prep things from like food 4 less or Albertsons and stuff but today I came here and got the same things and more for only $168.94, I mean I got a lot me meats and things than I ever do for way cheaper and the meats are so fresh and clean, I really am excited about this market and it's now my go to market. The meat clerk she was is nice and friendly honest, she explained everything too me and advised me on the difference of the meats and the prices and everything, she even went as far as personally seasoning the meat I asked for and I really appreciate that. Thank you so much.. My check out clerk was Estella, she was so nice and friendly she went above and beyond and even helped me on the aisles to get things i needed and didn't know where they were, and my bag clerk was the front end manager Gracie, which was really great to see the manager working as a bagger and she asked me how I was doing and if I found everything and we talked about our families and everything. This market is above the rest and I really can't wait to return. I will definitely recommend this place to all my friends and neighbors. Thank you guys for making this experience so amazing. read more

This is the closest supermarket to me so I make A LOT of tacos! The grocery store is a Mexican food galore that contains already prepared foods, like tamales, ceviches, tacos, combination plates, aguas frescas, pan de dulce, and much more! What I like most about this grocery store is that their meat costs are cheaper than other grocery stores. Today, I bought marinated dark meat chicken (preparada la pierna) for $1.89/ lb! I chop these leg pieces to make my own tacos. I appreciate that the meat is already marinated so it saves a lot of time and guaranteed to be full of flavor. They already have pre-chopped taco meat but it costs more- the chicken cut for taco meat was $3.89. If you're planning to have a taco party, they have trays of uncooked meat for $14.99- a pound each of carne asada, chicken and adobada. There's also a wide selection of salsas. This is my one stop shop when I have to cook for a few people coming over. read more

I finally said ummm hello can I get a money order and she was still talking to her friend, then said what's the name , keep in mind the whole time she was still on face time which is (video chat) , asked me how much and that was it, customer service sucks then I went back to ask for an envelope and I said can I have an envelope please?

While the parking lot here is sketchy, dirty and mediocre at best, the store is surprisingly clean for a Mexican market. They have a pretty solid bakery section, meat dept and hot foods. Where the store really shines though, is in the produce department. It's common to find fruits like oranges or watermelon at 5lb/$1, celery at .50¢, cilantro 4/$1 and on and on. Sometimes I have to stop at markets like Albertsons for emergencies and I cringe when I pay literally 5 TIMES more for the exact same product. The only downside to this market vs whiter markets is that that don't always have typical American veggies. For example, I wanted to pick up Brussels sprouts and cauliflower one day and they didn't carry either of them. (But broccoli was super cheap!) I suppose it's not that big of a deal, I asked the stocking manager to order Brussels sprouts and they had them the next week, but it's a little annoying sometimes. Other than that, I really like their hot foods section for $7 plates and the cheese section for small amounts of fresh Mexican cheeses and creams. Also, sometimes they have tastings for pastries that are super delicious. Their Mexican bread section is on point. All my gluttonous Mexican childhood memories come rushing back every time I venture into the bread section. Butter, sugar and flour galore. DELISH. They have cheap rolls, I think .25 or .30 cents each in white or wheat. Oh! And you DON'T have to know Spanish to shop here! They always talk to me in English unless I make a point to respond in Spanish, and my boyfriend (who understands very very little of the language) has no trouble once they realize he's not Mexican. Lots of CSUF students shop here so it's probably one of the whiter northgates you'll come across. read more

To say that this Northgate market is an improvement over the previous market that was here is a severe understatement. They have made it a much cleaner and brighter place to go shopping for your grocery needs. Their deli department has pretty decent salsas that are prep-packaged that are pretty good. You can also get your giant slab of chicharron here too. I think that their marinated meats and hot foods selections taste better than what you would find at Food-4-Less. The real gem of this market is that they have super low prices on things like guajillo chiles, jalapenos, tomatillos, and habaneros. Ironically, I have noticed that Mexican markets in general, have a paltry frozen burrito selection. One of those things that is a philosophical mystery of life. After all, Asian markets tend to have a pretty good ramen selection... The only down side is that the parking lot is a mess to navigate. The spaces are a bit too tiny to accommodate all those giant pickup trucks and the condition of the asphalt is horrible. read more
