The chicken served outside of the market is delicious. It's marinated to perfection and the cook a nice and friendly. It's need to watch the grilling happen outside the market. I recommend this chicken it's 10 out of 10. I promise you will come back to get some more. read more

Super A Foods - Bought these mangoes last night. All were rotten, just bad!!! Just a waste of time & money!! - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I moved into the area at the end of last year and stumbled upon Super A Foods for my grocery needs. As I walked in, I quickly realized it was a specialty Mexican supermarket. On the far left side, there's a section dedicated to cooked foods and raw meats, while the rest of the store carries all the standard grocery staples you'd expect. When I'm not shopping in bulk at Costco, I usually come here. They have a solid variety of items that cover my day-to-day needs. One of my favorite things to do is just roam the aisle discovering products that are unique to Mexican markets. This is also my go-to spot for DIY taco nights at home so I'll grab ingredients like carne asada, queso fresco, pico de gallo, tortillas, and more. Every now and then, I come across something new that I haven't seen before, like Lindy's Homemade Italian Ice, which is now one of my all time favorite products! I also appreciate the occasional deals they promote. Discounted items are often aced in shopping carts between the aisles, and I almost always find something useful for the home. The main reason I gave this place five stars, though, is because of the charcoal-grilled chicken they make on weekends. As another Yelper, Cindy S., pointed out--it's absolutely delicious! Every weekend, they're out front grilling up a storm and as I walked by, the amazing smell and seeing people line up was enough to convince me to try it. And I'm sooooooo glad that I did. It's about $10 per whole chicken, which I thought was very reasonable. Honestly, it's been a while since I last had it, but the craving hit me today -- which is what finally prompted me to write this review and share the word. If you're ever in the area on a weekend, I highly recommend trying the grilled charcoal chicken. It's definitely worth it. read more

This review is for the CHARCOAL GRILLED CHICKEN only. On the weekend, from 10am to 4pm (or till sold out) Super A Food sells charcoal grilled chicken that's set up outside the market. It's perfectly brined, seasoned, and grilled. Absolutely delicious! A whole chicken for $9. You pay the cashier inside the market at the register; then get in line outside and show the receipt to the staff member tending the chicken and you're good to go! Super- A has a nice selection of tasty salsas and fresh tortillas. Definitely recommend! read more

Super A Foods - The great good helps me to keep reconditioning these old Typewriters! - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The reviews I'm reading cannot be real... C'mon! We decided to give this place a try, but the prices are way too high for the quality they offer. We bought fresh beef, chicken, turkey, and pork carefully checking the expiration dates. Once we got home, most of the meat packaging broke apart and spilled into the shopping bags. Even worse, when we opened the packages, much of the meat smelled spoiled even though the dates looked fine in-store. Additionally, a significant number of the prices per pound didn't match the actual weight of the product. Very, very bad. Do better, or hire someone who can actually get the pricing right. It feels like they're trying to scam people by altering or mislabeling expiration dates. Unbelievable. read more

Bought Al carbon pollo several times Very good every time Smoky but not over cooked Great value for $10 Good fresh tortillas and salsa in store Staff has been consistently helpful and friendly to this gringo Highly recommend read more

Every time I walk into this store I get warm feelings of Nostalgia. From the music they play, the nice folk working there, to the design of the store. It's old school, the way a grocery store should be. They have great chicken here as well. read more

Local spot with Mexican specialty items, bakery, and butcher. I love getting their fresh pan and also bbq chicken on saturdays and sundays outside. Bakery has this cheese and jalapeño bread that is so good, bagel and jalapeño cream cheese vibe but softer and lighter bread. They also have a decent selection of Asian sauces and specialty items too. read more

I have a really weird experience here, lost and grateful. I was only looking for corn in a can, but I end up with chicken salad, burros, sweet bread, and avocados, etc. I was skeptical to come here because of traffic and how people drive around the area in a small street/road. Being first time I didn't expect much, from the security guy to Deli sections, to the kind lady at Bakery were all such hard working people I have encountered. Literally, they stopped what they are doing when I was unsure of what I was looking at , or they anticipated I needed something. Great customer service and clean feeling environment, I didn't feel followed, rushed, or overwhelmed. I took my time without being run over by carts. I was humbled at my shopping experience here. Thank you. read more

The carnitas that the gentleman helped me choose, or I should say he chose on Saturday September 8, 2023 were FANTASTIC!!!!!! He was an older gentleman in the deli are. Very kind, polite, and enthusiastic!!!!!!! All the salsas and cheeses, the par baked flour tortillas and even the little mini tortillas were amazing. OKAYYYYYY THE PAN DULCE!!!!!!! So dry. What happened to the egg that was added. It was as though we were eating a paper sack!!!!! The chefs are not doing well with the pan dulce!!!! Come on guys! We grew up in East LA where it was all happening, including the Concha with the Rock Sugar on top. read more

I use to shop at this store often, it's been a while since I came back to this store again. Bakery is great, including the employees are nice, helpful and greed you with a smile. The groceries are ok, they have improved the quality of a lot of items. The cashiers, not sure what's going on with them, it's been 3 times I went shopping to this store, and the cashiers look so unhappy, or not sure what's the problem, but they are rude, no greeting what so ever, you just a cold feeling from them, I don't know what it is, and will not try to figure them out. You do pay a little more because they bag your groceries, but friendliness or at least being polite it's not there. read more

Currently many stores don't have Donald Duck OJ in stock. After calling various businesses, this store had a good supply in stock. Wonderful returning to this Super A and having some DD. Efficient service too. read more

RIP to my OG Super A in Alhambra that has long since been replaced by the Civic Center Library. This guy however, is much bigger and cleaner than what I remember Super A being. The potato wedges brought me back to my old love but you should get the spicy fried chicken here (warning: definitely spicier than you think). They have cheap produce including the necessities like cilantro, green onion and others. Even some Asian ingredients but can be hit or miss on other items. The peeps at the deli were nice and you can get whole onsite bbq chicken on the weekends for $8.99 - Guys, can we just say $9 flat? read more

The food here especially the fruit is no good. I pay money to get shit food. This place only takes your money and sells you Crap. I have bought so much food here that when I get home and start preparing to cut open to see it's already rotten. You'll waste even more money, time, and gas to exchange. Your literally going to get the same crap. I put pictures too. I just got home from that damn place. No Good! read more

Super A Foods - I just bought this and it's already rotten from the inside. No good food here. Avoid - Grocery Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I am giving this place a 5/5 because of their excellent customer service. I stopped by Super A Foods for the first time today, looking for meat tenderizer (the spice, not the tool). I couldn't find it in their spice center so I asked one of the cashiers if she knew if they sold meat tenderizer. She was so helpful and went to the spice aisle with me to help me look. We couldn't find it in that aisle, so she took me to the meat section, which had a separate section of spices, including some meat tenderizer! She also helped me to interpret what the bottle said since it was partly in Spanish. I wish I got her name so I could give her the credit she deserves. Pros: -Friendly and helpful staff -Great selection of spices -Great variety of items from different cultures Cons: -There is no direct stop traffic light by this market read more

Be warned I recently bought some eggs that were on sale from this market I spent time in emergency room with food poisoning I had tremendous pain unbearable this market doesn't have a night crew like Ralph's or Vons so there food stays in store to rot I've purchased tortillas the next turned moldy purchased milk rotten I'm warning everyone stay away from this market read more

Get the chicken that is BBQed outside! Pay inside, then line up to get an overnight marinated BBQ chicken over the open flame. It's $8. If I was going to a pot luck dinner I'd bring 2! It's cut up on the spot and package either in a bag, or tray if they run out of bags. One chicken can easily feed 2 or 3 people... it's the kind of food you keep eating just because it tastes good! There is also an impressive to go food station to the left when you walk in. So if you want an easy catered meal to go there are plenty of options! read more

I'm glad this store is in my neighborhood. I have a bunny and he goes through 6 heads of lettuce a week (2 Romaine, 2 red leaf, 2 green leaf) in addition to kale and other vegetables. The price on their produce is great and it's fresh. When there was a recall on Romain they put up notices to let their customers know that their lettuce comes from Arizona. They also have a to section where you can get hot foods and prepared salads to go. I love their crab salad. Their fresh tortilla chips are the best! I buy them for parties and football on Sundays. There homemade fresh salsa is fabulous! There's also a bakery where you can order creative cakes, and all their pan dulce is made in-house. It's always fresh and soft. Their Conchas are the best I've ever had. They are also addicting! You can also get scoops of Thrifty Ice Cream. They have fresh flowers, and they also carry a wide variety of Stella Rosa wines. There's a good selection to fulfill all your grocery needs and the prices are better than Ralph's or Vons. What I love most about the place are the people that work here. They are all so very friendly and helpful. They remember you and treat you like family. They are also doing an excellent job of keeping things clean during Covid. Carts are washed down after each use. Staff wear masks and gloves and social distancing is enforced as well as requiring customers to wear masks as well. read more

I'm afraid to return to this store because of the cashiers. There very intimidating, and the people in the front of the store asking for money and food when they look like they already have it. I don't appreciate it. I don't have any money for myself now. read more

If you haven't had a chance to try their parking lot chicken, run don't walk because they sell them until they run out. They only sell them on the weekend so stock up as they make great add ins for salads, tacos, enchiladas, etc. A friend shared this info with me, and we've been going back week after week. read more

= RUDENESS. Since 2017 the store is going down in quality of service. The manager forgets that customers expect good service and courtesy before price. = Management: Because of an ill-mannered store manager, people who work in this store are unhappy, and therefore the work suffers. They are not as welcoming as other stores around. = Problem w Security: Also, the security seems to be looking to harassing people on the parking lot. He repeats itself, and has very poor work habits; = Manager's reaction: I reported this to the manager who displayed unprofessional and rude behavior, arguing and he taking a partial attitude. He screamed at me and argued, almost insulted me when i reported this harassing behavior. = Outcome: I will not go back shopping there because of the disrespectful ways of their treating customers. After all, we have the power to chose where we spend our money. read more

The grilled pollo/chicken out in front, in the background, is an unexpected cheap delight. While I cannot vouch for the food items located and prepared inside the store's location, I can say, with confidence, that I'll be back on Saturday morning to purchase the perfect cookery and works of arts that are produced in between tight car parking spots. The grilled pollo is smoky, flavorful, not salty or too smokey, it's just right. The pollo is juicy, tender, and just so well cooked. I will say, to add, I've gotten back a few times and while the cookery on the pollo isn't always a 10/10, it's a 9/10 and that's superior to some restaurants in the area that charge about 25 for one pollo. Here, at Super A, buy one grilled pollo, keep it in the foil bag for a few minutes (let it steam up) and then enjoy. Good stuff. read more

I love there cooked food they have here. Service is cool. Fresh looks kinda fresh. But it's yummie. If you want some cooked Spanish food come here. If you want to shop for your daily needs this place isn't so bad. But of course it maybe a little higher than Ralph since they are competing against other name brand markets. But those places only have cooked deli and a small section of hot food. But this place oh boy has a lot to pick from. And when your done you can head to the market and shop. read more

I am giving four stars I am a "hipster" who just moved to highland park. I was initially concerned that they did not carry any healthy foods and I wanted to shop locally rather than driving to Whole Foods so I spoke with the manager over email to inquire if they were interested in adding some healthy and vegan items and he was able to add so many new items to the store such as organic produce, beyond meat products, gluten free bread, and a whole other bunch of things that I requested. I really appreciate the cultural and ethnic foods they serve and also the mix with hipster foods it makes for a well rounded experience. I still do wish they would carry more healthy foods because no matter who you are health is a priority but extra points for taking requests. So neighborhood people if you want healthier foods email them!!! It works. read more

My review is only about their hot food case. I usually enjoy eating at the grocery stores in predominantly Hispanic neighborhoods (let's pretend that Highland Park isn't being gentrified...but that's besides the point), because the food usually provides a variety of mouthwatering items. One week, I had a tamale and a taco. The taco was okay, but that tamale was dry AF...Got Milk? Never again! The saving grace is that this particular location makes BBQ whole chickens outside in the parking lot every weekend. As of late, I've been spending a few weekends in the area for work. I decided to stop in and give the chicken a try. I did -- and it was great! A whole char-grilled chicken that would put El Pollo Loco to shame any day. It was only about $8, and so worth it. If there's any reason to come to Super A for hot food, it's that! read more

***ROACH ALERT*** I went to the hot food counter to get a bean and rice burrito, as she was putting the beans and rice in, I SAW A ROACH! Scurry across the hot food counter right next to the rice. I told the lady, there's a roach right there! And she put her dish rag on top of it. It was the small german roaches. Completely grossed out. DO NOT EAT HERE! read more

Have been coming here for years, my local grocery store and carries all items I really need. People are generally friendly and nice, especially the people who have been working here years. Just beware of newer employees. If you go to the lane with a newer cashier named Mayra L. you will need to bag your own groceries. She's the only employee who will not lift a finger or ask if she can assist you. She will stare you down and continue assisting other customers even if you have lots of items and are in the way. I would just beware of checking out in her lane, unless you're a fast bagger who wants no assistance from her. Only negative experience has been with Mayra L. read more

I love this store, and miss the one that used to be in Eagle Rock. First off, Artists work in the bakery and will serve you a 99 cent ice cream cone too. Seriously, check out the bake case, it is beautiful. The fresh tortillas are yummy, always some ripe avocados stacked near by. The wine prices are awesome. The cashiers must think I'm sad cuz I'm buying a ton of baked goods, wine and cat food. But they're always friendly anyway. read more

We've noticed the weekend chickens cooking in the parking lot, and they smelled amazing. We got one today, and the taste was equally delectable: juicy, tasty and shot through with smokey grandeur. The Super A isn't generally crowed on week days, so it's become a regular shopping spot in these pandemic times. The veggies and fruits are good, the prepared food is reasonable, and they often offer 20% off of wine too. read more

Their produce dept. is below acceptable standards. I just bought this Mango for $0.79 and 90% is rotten. They need to start throwing out the expired produce. Overall their prices are more expensive than Food 4 Less, and equal to Vons in Eagle Rock, friendly staff and great BBQ on the weekends. read more

This is my go-to spot for carne asada, marinated chicken, crema mexicana (don francisco), fresh made tortillas & salsa and tortilla chips to supply any good summertime backyard barbeque. Prices are good, quality is good. What else can I ask for? They are a full-service supermarket with a good produce section. And cooked food to take home or dine in-store. Thankful for Super A... It's a great one-stop shop. Staff are real friendly... That's always a good thing. read more

Cashiers and bag people when I visited one morning were incredibly annoying. They kept talking and commenting on what I was buying, and I was already late for a meeting. I literally had the cashier, and two bag people comment on what I was buying, with a third bag person just standing there. The fact that there were so many workers not doing anything should have given me a clue that I should have shopped elsewhere. Also, I should have just used the self-check out because these workers would just not STFU- they kept going back and forth with each other on my purchase and I needed to get out of there to go to a meeting. Additionally, the store seems drab and dirty i.e. OLD. The decor is OLD, the meat IS OLD and the produce looks OLD. The meat and produce are fresher and better at El Super down the street. Going here reminded me why I haven't been here in so long, and why I won't shop here anymore. Still surprised this place is in business. read more

I am a long time customer of Super A Foods but the new method of no cashier and self check out is unacceptable. I am disabled and can't use self check out they leave me no choice.

Wow, surprised to hear the story about the roach situation. Do not buy from this store unless you're buying more than one item. Staffs like to target customers and claim they've been stealing. This is an easy target for those who can't defend themselves such as the elderly, students, and disabled. A lady accused me and assumed I was stealing water when I put the water bottle back. I will my buy water somewhere else. read more
