    So yummy and fresh!
    Thanh Q.

    I love all things coconut and mango and had to try this place. Love all the options and mixtures. So refreshing and yummy. Mango river is my favorite. The coco mango puree is another top flavor. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is bright and delightful. Def would return to buy more.

    Tamales, ceviche, chips and salsa

    I LOVE stores like this and wish we had one in San Francisco. Northgate is like a huge mega store that includes a bakery, taqueria, butcher department and more. They have so many types of salsas, chips, tamales, ceviches, etc. My head was spinning. I picked up so much, but my favorite items were the aquachiles, ceviche and the habanero salsa. The strawberry and pineapple tamales were okay, but not the best I've had. Still I love that they offer these options and more.

    I don't remember what was here before North Gate, but I used to go to the other location on University Ave and 54th, this one definitely bigger in terms of architecture design, they have a large space for the cafeteria with a long food togo lines both in front and behind the counter, a decent space to sit down and enjoy your food after purchasing them from the express kiosk. I always like the chicharrones con carne here and of course their signature cornbread. Less than a pound of chicharrones should last you a whole day with all the fat contents :) I also ordered some fish filets and some carne asada to try out, the fish were a bit chewy on the outside but the inside were ok, guess the heat lamps did some damage on them for sitting too long. The beef on the other hand were fresh, tender and juicy for the most part. Their cash registers aren't the best, it got frozen, and I had to wait for it to restart so I can pay for my food, they noticed I was hungry so they let me sit down and eat my food then told me to keep the barcodes on each bags to check out after they fixed the issue. Also their parking lots design were not great either. Still the food last me for 3 days now

    So today my husband was craving some chicharrón and since they have cheese I decided to get some panela then a saw that they have some "queso with chipotle" and don't get me wrong it look good And I was about to get one UNTIL I LOOK CLOSELY AND IT WAS FULL OF MOLD

    Finding this grocery store upon moving to California was the first time I'd ever seen and shopped at a Mexican supermarket, but I was pleasantly surprised to see the variety of items and brands they carry as well as an extensive produce section, a hot bar and a bakery. . What I really like about this place is their competitive prices, the hot bar, the home goods and the produce. At the hot bar, they have daily specials including a taco Tuesday deal that includes three (3) tacos with rice and beans. Tacos are $2 each! You won't find them that cheap anywhere else. There's TONS of Mexican products that aren't just food. They have hand painted clay pots and bowls, tin cups and utensils and other handmade dishware. The produce section is HUGE and most of it comes from Mexico such as the papayas, tamarind and hibiscus flowers. . One downside is this location does not have many organic products or vegan/plant based options outside of the produce, nonetheless whenever I need a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner, I'll stop by here. It's clean also, has restrooms and the staff always practice Spanish with me. Be sure to get there before the dinner rush though as the lines get CRAZY long. . Glad to support a local grocer!

    I LOVE Northgate Market! Best place to pick up premade food for a fabulous Taco Tuesday (or any day of the week). they have great "family packs" in a variety of sizes that include meat/beans/rice/tortillas/salsa. The carnitas are so damn good here!!! the meat market part is awesome! always get meat for the BBQ here...some marinated and some not. produce rocks also. my favorite things here though are the fresh made guacamole (there is literally a lady making it for you and as spicy as you want) and the ceviche by the pound ...shrimp/fish/mixed/spicy/not spicy...omg it's all so fresh and delicious...sometimes i just stop to grab chips/guac/ceviche for a fabulous meal!!! everyone is super friendly here. I do not speak spanish and was intimidated on my first visit, but quickly learned that it is not a barrier at all =) i'll keep shopping here

    Here the schedule for this store

    Sunday 11-26-23 Schedule says they close doors at 10pm I got there at 9:55pm and they manager and guard had doors closed already and telling people from the inside that it was closed waiving their hands I even show them the time on my phone and still didn't care. The schedule says clearly 7am to 10pm which means they are doing false advertising of their store schedules. So if they don't want to deal with last minute customers before closing then state that customers aren't allowed 30 minutes before closing time that will save customers time.

    Worst place to get last minute items. No cashiers whatsoever. Don't shop. Better management needed to support demand.

This particular Trader Joe's is located in the Liberty Station area and is beautiful! It's off the main street before entering deep into the hustle of shopping and eateries. We quickly checked it out and found our favorites! This trip, we bought some dips, chips, quick frozen meals, coconut water, smoked Gouda cheese and crackers, ice coffee concentrate, heavy whipping cream, and apples. They have their own parking lot. It seemed extremely busy and crowded. The employees were very friendly and helpful as always. They had samples out that day. I always loved sampling the newest thing. They had packages of the cooked bacon bits. They offered on top of a salad. It was very tasty!

Never really asked how the visit was or if I found everything I needed. It was just something that could probably be a conversation to have while you're on your break and not while tending to a customer. They were very loud about it too, to obnoxious level. I always have praised employees at Trader Joe's because they always seem happy and are very friendly and offer great customer service but these guys... just wasn't it Other than that, is Trader Joe's and yes I found what I needed. I did notice though that this Trader Joe's had some different products in that my local Trader Joe's doesn't have so got to try something new to me, just kinda bummed mine doesn't have them

I've been in before and bought one of my favorite wines, but it was all about dessert today. I also grabbed a Talenti vanilla gelato because you can't have apple pie without it being ala mode! I waited at the register since there wasn't anyone around, but then the friendly worker came out from over by the coffee area. Apologized and rang me up. He: The pie is 50% off Me: What? He: Yes Scored! They offer the discount when the pie is a day after its "sell by" but it was still delicious! Ok, so now I'm going to stop in when I'm in the neighborhood. I still would've paid full price because I love Julian pies! Great little market!

Service is always helpful and friendly, from answering questions to finding things. The second half of the store even contains a deli & coffee shop. Finally tried their Latte and it's perfect.

It's difficult to leave without an armful of goodies!!

The store carries products from some of my favorite local vendors that I usually only find at the farmers market, along with a great selection of unique drinks and specialty items. One of the highlights was trying the banana water, which was marked as an employee favorite, and now I can see why. Truly taste like a banana, very interesting. The store was well organized, fully stocked, and easy to browse. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. While some items are a bit pricier than what you'd find at a traditional grocery store, the quality and clean ingredients make it well worth the cost. It's a great place to discover healthier options and support local brands at the same time. They also offer a membership for just $15 per year, which seems like a great value if you plan to shop there regularly. I'll definitely be stopping by again!
