I come here for one thing only. The Camaronazo. This is like Clamato, but the Hispanic version. Because I know Superior has this item, I don't go hunting for it at other stores. My friend up in the mountains ask for this every time I go visit. He sure enjoys his micheladas! I do look around the store. Especially the prepared foods and bakery. Everything looks so yummy! read more

This location has really gone downhill, specifically when it comes to to cleanliness. I walk in craving some pan dulce (Mexican bread) and left disgusted. As soon as an approach the pan dulce area that is enclosed behind clear doors, it was filled with flies. Some dead and at least 4 flying around. This was just in the one cabinet. The crazy thing is that 2 employees were there. How can you not see this? I was so grossed out and just left. I could not do the rest of my shopping. This is so sad, because we rely on stores like Superior in our community. Please do better for our community. For now, I cannot return. With all the increase disease that flies and other flying insects are carrying we need to be on top of this. I hope management team take this review serious for the health and wellbeing of its community members that shop there. If you can't keep something clean that is out in the open, what is happening with the things we cannot see???? I do not recommend this location. read more

I'm Mexican, but never really visit many Mexican markets. I was in need of a market in general, mostly for the produce section because I was tasked to make a fruit salad. When I walked in, it was very clean and cultural. Loved it. The produce was straight ahead so I knew it wouldn't take long to get the 3 things I needed. The watermelon and cantelope were right next to each other, but the honeydew took some time to search for, but I eventually found it. Got in and out fairly quick since the place was empty. Strange for about 5pm in the afternoon. There were things they looked interesting like little jugs of Agua fresca. Gotta come back and grab a few. read more

Cashier are always rude !!!!! Never a good a morning or a hello or did you find everything you need!!!!!!! No, none of that Customer service horrible!!!!!! read more

Hi I was at the store today and I had maybe 6 things in my cart and another gentlemen behind me and myself waited for a long time to be cashed out . While we kept moving the light of the row number 6 was on still but when we were next the cashier Ana had said she couldn't help us since it was closed !! Me and the gentlemen were so upset because she could've told ha hey don't wait since I'm closed but she saw us and kept us waiting either way . So unprofessional!! I spoke to Nelly her manager because she has no customer service I really hope they re train her to show good customer skills . read more

o4.2o22 We've shopped at this market a few times now, including getting the cooked meals by the door. The food we have tried so far are good. The fried chicken was the best! Esp when they come out fresh. It was very tender, juicy, and the best part, not overly salted. The market is pretty clean and it's very organized. They had some very yummy mangoes on sale a couple weeks ago so I made some mango fruit platters. read more

Hello, we went to buy 1 3 pack of Pacifico and 1 3 pack of Budwiser they were very burned and caused me a very bad stomach ache upon and consuming a bit of both them. I called the store to let them know and the Manager did not have the time to take my phone call, I wanted to throw up so bad. Shouldn.t a Manager take a phone call to try and resolve this matter? We have the receipt for our purchase, a store in general has to take ownership and be more customer service friendly like Nordstroms/Macy's. Very disappointed and upset about this. read more

I went today since I was craving bread/ pan, and there was a BUG inside . I went back and the guy offered more BREAD. Sir I am already grossed out . He also said It has never occurred which I doubt . So gross never again. He also threw the bread before I can ask for It back, but I took pictures . Not his fault but they could've approached It a lot better read more

Breakfast platter from the hot foods section in the morning is exceptional. For 7 bucks, I got about 2 cups of scrambled eggs, 6 tortillas, beans, and rice. I usually spend more at Starbucks (in the same plaza) and end up hungry and angry. Customer service booth: you can send money to Mexico at Superior. How cool is that! Unfortunately I wasn't able to wait due to the 8 people in line ahead of me who were all purchasing lotto and scratchers. I'm taking one star away because their energy drinks were not in the aisle labeled energy drinks. Also, the flavors for Red Bull were kind of sad. read more

Food service is inconsistent and extremely slow. They have offered plate lunches but depending on the day and whos working youre choices will vary. If You speak Spanish theyll do anything for you, but if you dont, they just dont give you the same service. So id rather not patronize a place that actively discriminates against non spanish speakers. And jf you manage to actually get food, they take forwver getting the food ready despite it being literally already made. No idea why theyre so incredibly slow. read more

Service and ambiance are poor. The card collecting staff rush to put all cards in. I wait. Two cards at the end are mating, so cannot separate. The grocery box staff with empty boxes rush for the main walking aisle. Worker is more important than customer mood. The self service pay station barcode scanner does not read barcode on grocery. Many groceries do not have barcode to scan. The barcode scanner only reads a few manufacturer bar code on plastic. read more

What happen to this place? I use to come here all the time... the fruits and veggies are expensive and close to rotting. I needed mole and it's 2.99.. are you aware Walmart has it for 2.69 and Target has it for 2.79? It was placed by the fruits and veggies area.. I walked the entire store looking for it and saw your prices.. wow.. read more

Ok I am not sure of the low reviews, but I am rating this solely based on convenience. It is located near Marshalls, has a Starbucks nearby, Menchies, and Wing Stop. That alone is a lot of places you can stop by in one stop. I usually go to El Monte or East LA (Boyle Heights) locations, and the parking is ridiculously packed. I cringed at the thought of worrying my car is going to get clipped by a car or a cart when I'm there. When I shopped around 10:30am Thursday, parking was pretty clear and there was hardly a line at the registers. Everything I wanted was in stock. I would definitely come back if I'm nearby! read more

Never coming back to this location the manager David Dobson is very rude and has a bad attitude what a way to set an example to your employees on how to interact with your customers or 3rd party (vendors) who are coming to do their job. David is unwilling to answer a couple of questions so the vendor can't complete the job 100 percent. If you dislike your job maybe you shouldn't be in customer service David. You need to quit or step down go find a job where you don't have to interact with people since you are not people friendly. Zero stars for David. Very rude. Unwelcoming. read more

My first time going into Superior. Never realized their grocery selections was so abundant! Walking in they have an office where you can pay your utility bills... probably to serve people without internet access. Then walking further in, there are a variety of tortillas and beverages that are on sale. Great prices! The supermarket was very busy even during the week in the afternoon. It feels like a flea market with so much stock everywhere along with all its shoppers. The fruits and vegetables section was clean unlike some of the Chinese markets. Fresh fruits at a significant savings, vegetables neatly stacked, as it's very organized. They have varieties of frozen foods that's less expensive than Walmart. A large selection of cold alcoholic beverages that's better than Ralph's. Anyhow, sorry to compare with the other franchises. But Superior Grocers is indeed superior with their astonishing inventory minus the Costco bulk. I wish there was one closer to home. But at least this location is close to my office. I'll be coming back again soon. read more

I wish I could of got my money back. A whole glove from the butchers hand Seriously sucked read more

Sometimes we make the short drive to Superior Grocers in South El Monte because they have great sales. This supermarket is quite busy and clean with predominantly Hispanic and Asian shoppers. This store is well stocked with plenty of Mexican groceries as well as the everyday grocery items at good prices. They also have good selection of Mexican bakery items, love those Mexican rolls and sweets! The produce is fresh and priced right. As soon as you enter the market, they have a decent hot foods counter on the right (fried chicken) and they also sell tortillas really cheap. We buy our pork chorizo here at Superior. Recently, we've also picked up some great buys such as Philadelphia Cream Cheese for $1.25 (for baking), Celeste pizzas ($0.99), and bananas 3 lbs for $1 (I've seen as low as bananas 4 lbs for $1). At the checkout, it's bag your own groceries. read more

The first time I ever see a market charge you to prepare meat. I guess I will go to any other market in the area.

I've been to this location close to two dozen times over the last several years. Parking is very tight it's better to park near the end of the parking lot so no one thinks your doors. The carts that you use could be a little cleaner. Bakery and produce section's are excellent prices on the items are very good. Check out system seems slow and could be faster. Many people who visit the store and who work at the store speak Spanish at times I feel there is a language barrier. There are too many people soliciting outside the store especially on Sunday read more

Their customer service center is great. Had to send a Money Gram, transaction went smooth and fast. No long wait. read more

I was there on a Sunday afternoon and they did not provide enough cashiers. Many of the customers were elderly and they had to stand in line for more than 20 torturous minutes. The manager never made an effort to add additional checkers. I recommend that no one patonize that market until they make corrections to their management style. Moreover, it is my belief that because it is in a low income area the folks there are not entitled to better service. read more

Clean market with awesome bakery and produce section! Upon walking in you'll be welcomed by the smells from the bakery. They also sell small bouquets of flowers for $7.99-$10.99. I normally come here for the avocados which are sold either 4 or 3 for $0.99! They're small and I haven't come across a time where I couldn't find ripe ones. On another occasion I've found corn 3 for $0.99 too! Their meat department has a relatively good selection with decent prices as well. One rather strange thing I noticed was the little jewelry store right at the exit. Kind of random! *pro tip- don't over pack your plastic bags. I did that once and all my corn ripped out of my bag and came tumbling out in the parking lot :( read more

Disgusting, dirty, and unprofessional service. Found it's of pieces of a plastic bag in the pollo picado. read more

Superior is one of the closest supermarkets to my house. The produce is always fresh and they have great prices. The workers are constantly refilling fruits and veggies. I love their bakery section. They have the most delicious chocolate cakes. My only complaint is the lines are always very long. There's usually only 2 or 3 open. They need more cashiers and registers for 5 items and under. 10 items can take forever too! I love that they open early and I can just drop by to pick up baked goods before work. read more

By far the worst market I've ever been to. They never have anything in stock, dirty and crappy customer service. Sucks that they don't have more markets around here but it's the hood so ‍ read more

The girl at cash register at bakery/food deli is beyond rude with everyone. Using her cell phone as well while you are waiting in line. Superior management needs to train her better. read more

This place has cheap produce. I come here for my rabbits veggies. The greens are cheap here and there tends to be deals too. I get cilantro, parsley, romaine, mustard greens, etc all for under $10. Parking Lot, but crowded Place is a little ghetto bc it's El Monte, but it's fine. This place is busy. read more

Come here only because it's close to home. But they have good prices and weekly deals. Some of the cashiers are great. But today I went... There was long lines and Guadalupe on register 6.. Didn't have any light on indicating we can complete out purchases with her. Yet if cerain people would ask her she would say I'm open but to others no... Very bad customer service. If I were her manager I would right her up... read more

Still posting this before 10 pm... Store says hours are till 10 pm. I arrived close to closing time and the security guard refused to let me in. I pointed at my watch and said 5 min.

They sell rotten meat here! People check your meat before leaving or don't shop here. Yesterday, my husband and I bought 7 lbs of boneless chicken leg meat (not marinated). We are on a budget and do not get EBT so we buy meat to last us all week. When we got home, I noticed the chicken had a funky smell to it. Then when my husband was cutting up the chicken it still smelled bad. As my husband continued to cut up the meat, he found a GREEN piece of moldy chicken! It literally made us gag and stunk up our car as we drove back to inform their management that they are selling GREEN meat! My husband requested to speak to a manager said he was going to call the health dept. for selling meat like this. I requested a refund. Even the manager said it smelled bad and she knew we had a bad experience so she would not ask us if we wanted more chicken. The manager informed someone from their meat dept. and all he had to say was that it was a fresh shipment yesterday at 530 pm but that box of chicken might have had the wrong date. Really! This was not the first time we observed unsanitary practices at this store. On a prior visit, there were flies buzzing around the meat counter. We also noticed two bags on meat that were left in random places (in front of the meat counter and by the register). I wonder if they still would sell those! A few months ago, we purchased the 99 cents non-Oscar Meyer lunchable (I believe it was Eckrich)and my husband noticed that the lunch meat was GREEN! Also the City of South El Monte needs to do something about the safety if this Superior Shopping Center! Sadly, there are many panhandlers that beg for money and homeless people that camp out behind the shopping center. People even speed through the parking lot! We did get our refund for the foul-smelling chicken and we are no longer shopping there! It is sad that my family and I have to shop outside South El Monte to purchase quality meat and produce rather than shop in our own community. read more

I've been coming here since it used to be located where CVS is now. Since the move, the market has gotten much cleaner and more organized, and it has better parking too! I find the produce here to be relatively cheap, with a few seasonal items rotated weekly that are dirt cheap (a 10 lb watermelon for a buck, 5 ears of corn for a buck...etc). I also buy Jarritos drinks here- they have lots of variety! I've yet to try the prepared foods or the marinated meats, but they smell and look delicious every time I walk by! read more
