My parents went on Saturday to purchase Nacatamales and other things from this store and these are the tamales they sell just masa! My dad purchased 3 and the women charged him for 4 and he tried to go return or ask for his money back and the elderly woman rudely threw the tamales back him and said there was no refund and that she would call the police on them. Don't go here to get this customer service. read more

Super Mini Market - Nacatamales - Grocery Near Me - South Gate, California

Great food. Cooked on the spot or to take home and cook. Ask for seasoned Nicaraguan meat read more

They have a good variety of Central American snacks including Nicaraguan. The owners don't seem to keep the store too clean because there is a lot of dust all over the products. Luckily I have not purchased any expired products that other people experienced. But I did experience being over charged and I did not realize it until I got home and reviewed my receipt . I was charged for more items than what I actually bought. I don't know if it was on purpose or by accident but it is very unprofessional either way. I'm not sure if I'll be returning. read more

Super Mini Market - Have my Nacatales and Rojita down by the beach - Grocery Near Me - South Gate, California

The market part is great but the women working the restaurant part of the store are some what rude. I bought a pitaya drink that didn't taste like pitaya at all so I asked if I could exchange it for another drink. They did exchange it but they sure gave me hard time. They asked me if I tasted it - Yes how else would I know that it didn't taste like pitaya?! Then being told that I should've asked for a sample. That this is the only time that they would exchange a drink...so after being reprimanded like a child as I'm walking away with my new drink. I hear them saying "I filled that cup to the very top." Like if I drank half of it and tried returning it. I took two sips by no means was it empty. I also had the baho and it wasn't very good. I would not get it again. The cacao drink was good. read more

Great place for Nicaraguan food/imports. Milka as far as the eye can see... Baked goods... Good goods oh my! Small and quaint and love the shop workers there! read more

Since the hubby had a game in the area he headed here after. He picked up a couple of nacatamales, some cacao drink mix, a pineapple pastry as well as a chicken empanada. The nacatamales left much to be desired, the masa was just to mushy for me. The cacoa drink mix was DELICIOUS, I mixed it with almond milk and there was no need for adding sugar. GREAT, now I can get my cacoa fix anytime!!! The pineapple pastry was also delicious although I wish there could have been more filling. I can comment on the chicken empanada as we haven't touched it yet! read more

::Update 3/15/14:: It's a curious coincidence that two supposed different people with the strikingly similar names "Chris E." and "Chrissy" (with zero friends) would write multiple tips for Super Mini Market, write a review of my review, and have the hilarious hubris to determine the "validity" of my comments. It's especially interesting that they would single out my comments, which actually concur with those of other reviewers. This reeks of a half-baked attempt at marketing by someone with a stake in this shop. I was prepared to and enthused about promoting this business because I myself am Nicaraguan, but the poor quality of the products and foods spoke for themselves. In fact, my initial review was extremely positive (five stars) until I actually got home and used the expired and/or poor quality products -- not on one trip, but several, because I gave them more than one chance. I stand by my opinion, which of course is very individual, and it's unfortunate and comical that anyone would take it so personally. My goal is to alert fellow Yelpers in these hard economic times about good and poor shopping experiences. If this doesn't serve a business, better to work on the merchandise rather than work over the reviewer. I'm sure this business will continue to do as well as it deserves to, and I found the owners to be really charming. But, I don't like to throw away my money, which is exactly what I ended up doing due to the substandard products I purchased at this shop. Go forth, make money off someone else, just not me. By the way, Yelpers and paisanos, you may find this article of interest. It's about businesses that post fake reviews. In New York, the district attorney fined them totaling $350,000. Enjoy: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/11/06/243527317/hunger-games-whats-behind-yelps-fake-reviews 12/6/10: Inspect your products carefully before leaving the store. I've been there a few times now, and have ended up having to throw away some products when I got home because they turned out to be very old. For instance, I don't remember queso ahumado being a hard cheese. I remember it being soft and squeaky (am I wrong?). Also the crema nicaraguense was a solid block of cream. I asked the owner why it wasn't soft, and he said it would thaw out. I waited for it to thaw in the fridge several days before I threw it out. Also, some of the drink mixes had expired dates. I tried their vaho and it was good, but the brisket was more fat than meat. And, as another reviewer said, the masa for the nacatamal was too watery and grainy. Liborio Markets have closed, and an honest market that provides high-quality Central American goods is sorely needed. I've seen a few Central American products at the Vallarta Supermarket chain and Albertsons of all places. Unfortunately, the goods at Super Mini Market are not reliable. read more

NO ORDENEN NADA PORQUE LES VA IR MAL!!!!! this people mainly the guy es sinverguensa. About3-4 weeks I got so excited to find out that i can buy some mamones online from this Nica store in LA. The first thing i did was call up the store and ask him as many questions as I could. When I even asked 2 different people all the questions that i could think of. The one main question was "estan verdes?" The answer was "yes, they come in a one lb bag and they are all refigerated". So me so happy was, lets do this! Not to mentiom that for him to take my order took several days and then other several days to mail it. Long story short, my mamones came 6 days later from when i purchased them. They all came like smelling agrios and podridos. I tried one and it was nasty. I also ordered some espumillas, coyolitos and manjar de leche. The espumilla were made into pinolillo of how smushed they were. The coyolitos taste nasty.. and a cajeta de coyolito is not a coyolito if it doesnt have the seed. It tastes like madura ensucarado. And the manjar was broken and spilled all over the box. I was very disspointed because of what i got. I called the guy and he said that it wasnt hos fault that i got the box in the mail when i did and that when he put the mamones in the box they were nice and green (Bullshit). I literally spent almost $70 for this and all his answer was "it's not my fault!" I've tried to contact him and i still havent gotten no reply. I am very dissapointed and can't believe to how more nicas they do this to. TODAVIA ESTOY ESPERANDO LA SUPUESTA LLAMADA.. HABER SI BORRAS ESTE MENSAJE COMO EL OTRO!! read more

Karla A. I disagree with you on your comments because the manager here is awesome and nice. The nacatamales are the best! Best ones I ever had. the cheeses are also very good so idk what you talking about. You probably just have bad taste so your comments are invalid. read more

Thee best nacatamales all around!! I am a very picky eater when it comes to foods I've never tried before. One tamale fed both myself and my husband--that's how big it is. I don't usually write reviews, but because it was scrumptious and filling it was worth my time. Stop by and try their fresh home made goodies, you will be glad you did! read more
