Toto, we are not in Portland anymore! Imagine this: two old Chinese ladies (and the writer of this review, who is not that old) walked into a Mexican grocery in search of chicharrón. My mom and I recently drove down to Portland to visit a childhood friend of hers. Upon discovering our mutual love for crispy pork belly, my mom's friend insisted that I must try the deep fried pork belly here and I'm so glad she tipped me off to this place! So I found myself standing inside Supermercados Mexico, under the colorful pinatas and walls of colorful candy, snacks, and all sorts of sugary concoctions (and tropical fruit!). This place is HUGE, well organized, and clean. The deli is located in the back and my, oh my, what glorious heap of chicharrón they have! I had always thought that chicharrón was Spanish for pork rinds (pork skin), but here, it's deep fried pork belly with the crispy skin still attached to it. It's so, so, so good (cholesterol be damned). This will now be a regular stop on all my Portland trips. read more

Wow! Can I have some more stars to check off please? This place earns it's name, and is now my new go to place to eat Mexican food. More on that later. You know how most Mexican grocerias are kind of "third world"? Not here. This store is super clean, well stocked, and reasonably priced. Cleaner than the former Albertsons it once was. The nearly store length meat counter is full of beautiful cuts of beef, pork, chicken and sea food. Some are marinated like the al pastor, beef barbacoa, and fajita skirt steak. Some are cooked, like the carnitas, barbacoa, grilled chicken, and ready to take home for dinner. You can get a package of 1 1/2 pounds of carnitas, 20 tortillas, 1 lb. of beans, 1 lb. of rice to go for $16.99 Dinner for 4 for under $20! They have shrimp ceviche and shrimp cocktails. They have their own well stocked bakery, and fruit plate/smoothie stand in the back. Funny thing, it has been closed every time I come in. They told me that she sets up in store, is not part of the franchise, and only comes in when she feels like it! LOL But the main reason for my review is the in store taqueria..I had the 3 tacos plate with rice and beans for $5.99 I chose carne asada, (grilled steak) carnitas,(pork fried in lard) and beef barbacoa. The barbacoa is super tender, melt in your mouth chunks of beef simmered in a spicy (not hot) sauce. The asada is very good, Their delicious carnitas are done exactly right! I would know, I am an admitted carnitas junkie. Tacos can also be had for $1.25 each. Done exactly as in Mexico, in the double little corn tortillas with onion and cilantro garnish, and with a choice of about 6 different salsas. I can't wait to try the al pastor, sopes, huraches, grilled chicken, burritos, tortas, goat birria, pozole and oh yes, the breakfasts. Huevos rancheros, huevos con chorizo, breakfast burritos, etc. My dining partner opted for the chili relleno which was filled from stem to stern with a full half inch of creamy Mexican white cheese,(queso fresco) dipped in the foamy eggie batter, and fried, served in a pool of delectable tomato broth. Very delicious. No you can't have a margarita or a beer here, but if you want a traditional home made style Mexican meal exactly how you get it in Mexico, this is the place. read more

I found out about this place from a flyer in my mailbox. It seemed like a bit far to drive for a good sale on meat and salsa, but I am so glad I did. The meat I wanted, arrachera, was one of the best cuts of beef I've ever had---tender and flavorful for a really good price. I was also there for their molcajete salsa and ended up leaving with a pound of each of their salsas (rojas tomatillo ended up being my favorite). All their groceries are really cheap, and pretty good quality too--8 limes for a dollar, plum tomatoes for $0.79/lb! Not only do they have groceries, but food you can eat right there. I've been back since, and both times I had to get some tacos, especially at $1.25 each, and a couple of pan dulce for $0.60/each. I have not been disappointed with anything so far, and plan on returning a lot more. read more

Wow, this place was awesome. It just opened about 6 weeks ago and they have another store in Hillsboro that has been there for a while. My wife and I were very impressed by the prices, but my favorite part was the wall of meat. They have a huge case that stretches almost the length of the store that is full of all types of meat. We got the ready-to-cook fajitas and I am stoked to cook them up for dinner tonight. This place has everything Mexican food related. It was clean, friendly, and well priced. We will be back for sure. read more

This place isn't exactly convenient, but if you're looking for quality Mexican ingredients, it's worth the drive. I was looking for pork belly at New Seasons, but they don't carry it there, which is odd. Anyway, one of the butchers suggested I check out Supermercados, and I'm glad I did. I ended up getting some dried chiles from their vast selection, and they're sold bulk, so you can choose a few different kinds without having to buy a full package. The meat selection is huge and they have a lot of marinated cuts. The hot foods/deli selection is huge. Tons of hot foods and there's a made to order taqueria and seating area to enjoy your tacos. This place has it all. I'm telling you, it's worth the drive. read more

We stumbled in here today while driving down Division: what a pleasant surprise! The giant meat case is full of reasonably priced, tasty items and was decorated with a giant pig's head. We got seasoned boneless/skinless chicken for $2.99 a pound. The sauce by the pound bar is exciting and so are most of the other foods in the case. The employees behind the case were very friendly and cheerful. The store was clean and seemed well stocked. I'm not Mexican, so can't really say if something was missing, but it was a fun little market to go through. The dinner we made was super tasty too. We will definitely be back. read more

The best Mexican grocer and deli I've seen in our area. It reminds me a lot of the Mariana's chain in Nevada. We got to try both the Carnitas and the Al Pastor Tacos there for lunch and both were excellent. We plan to go back and get one of their family-style takeout dinners soon which appear to be a great value. read more

The lady in the back that makes esquites was so disrespectful and rude. Do not buy from her little station. Rude service and bad food. The grocery store is nice but her stand inside the store was not good. read more

I'm getting my Flan Pie for Thanksgiving here. $25 and worth every penny. The best Flan ever. Not too sweet but just right. They have the Flan in a dessert cup too for $2.50. Delicious. I'll have to place my order in. When I do I'll get a small cup of flan. The deli section is extensive. A bit pricey but good. They have a complete produce section and all kinds of good stuff in the Isles like Black Corn Tortillas. The people are nice however the cashiers need to smile a little. read more

Supermercados Mexico is certainly an awesome supermarket with a fresh meat department, produce, and a vast array of ethnic Mexican groceries. However, on this day, I only had tacos on my mind and headed for the taqueria inside the store. I ordered four tacos: asada, pollo, carnitas, and pastor. Each of the four was pretty good in its own way with good flavor, and the meats were lean and not gristly. I also liked the way that all four meats were cut uniformly into small pieces, which makes for an evenly balanced and easy-to-handle taco. (Some other places have uneven size and shaped pieces of meat, which make a lumpy, awkward-to-hold taco.). There was a space with seating in the taqueria area. This was a handy place to eat, but the close proximity to the kitchen caused my clothes to absorb the kitchen's greasy smells of cooking. This isn't a big deal to me personally, but I just want to mention it to let readers know. Well, I live nearby so I have the option of taking my food to go to eat at home anyway. Overall, these tacos are a good value at $1.50 each, plus the supermarket itself is an interesting place to look around while you are there. read more

It has a very large display cabinet of freshly butchered meats, seafood, salsas, and other items you need for a mexican feast. The prepareed carnitas and chicarrones were perfect, crunch and full of flavors. The vegetable dept was limited in comparison with the meat dept. read more

My friend likes it. I do not. Just tried a gristle and rice... oh, wait, it was a barbacoa burrito. Will probably try again, being told it was bad luck and I should try the tacos. Won't try my luck with the barbacoa anytime soon though and will probably avoid the burritos all together. read more

Lots and lots of meat along with lots of pandulce! It's hard trying to find Mexican candy in Portland but they have what I want to fill my spicy Mexican candy cravings. read more

we've always gotten our tres leches cakes from here and lately the cakes have been so dry. very disappointing.

This store in Gresham on Divison is warm, all the friendly staff are helpful and focused on customer service, there is a quality and fantastic vegetable selection, a WONDERFUL bakery and a very large and diverse meat counter. The stores entire physics layout and organization is thoughtful, practical and easy to navigate. The diversity, variety, quality and cost for food and various assundary items is fair to moderate. In the back right corner is a vibrant cafe which will a require a separate review to share this unique taste experience and venue. I love the music and in store notices. This is a MUST shop experience. You will be back again and again! read more

Been coming here for a long time and today was wow cashier didn't charge me for candles and rice pudding didn't see till lady approached my daughter and myself in the car.being treated like thief's I was outraged that they would go to the extent to want to calm the cops even though I went back to pay never again read more

This place is one of my top 3 spots to get tacos. You name it they have it. Order the lengua and pastor tacos and take a creamy flan to go. read more

See all

Friendly people. Great selection. I like being treated nicely even though I don't speak Spanish. It has become my go to Latino food market. I gave up on the two other groceries close by as I seem to get different treatment. Fresh salsas, all the cuts of meat you can't get at a major grocery store, candy isle. Lots of fresh different chilis and cactus and even plants I don't know. I love coming here. Homemade food from south of the border is even better than your favorite Latino restaurant!! read more

Really great place! Super clean, and very friendly workers! The meat counter is absolutely EPIC! Fresh chorizo! Great prices too! Bakery too! What more could you need/want? read more

Came here looking for some side dishes to make some casero tacos at home, was not disappointed. Found everything we needed and more. Ready made rice, Cactus salad, cactus tortillas, beans and fresh coloradito mole paste. As well as a neat tortilla warmer for small and large tortillas. As far as mexican supermarkets go, this one is on point. With a great selection of meats, produce, candies, tortillas, and of course sweet bread pan dulce. This one has some rare items among those listed above you fail to see in other mercados. read more

Even tho I found a short black hair in my tacos I decided to follow thru with at least the other taco after examining it and it was one of the best chicken tacos I've had since I was back in Mexico. The meat market selection here is HUGE as it should be at a Mexican market. Horchata on point. Pricing definitely on point. Mainly Spanish speaking workers with OK English but service is always attentive when I go in. I'd say check em out, there's something for everyone. They also have a fruit cup stand in this market as well(I forget the proper name) read more

I love their carnitas family meal deal - $16 and you get a pound and a half of succulent pork carnitas, a quart of spanish rice, a pint of beans, a heap of corn tortillas and a side of a salsa/hot sauce of your choice. Everything is pretty great, but the rice and beans are usually under seasoned. Also, unfortunately a lot of the time their "beans" are closer to "bean water". It's really literally liquid with some beans in it. I thicken it at home with more beans but I'm always a little disappointed in that. Otherwise the store is pretty great, although their prices kind of vary. Some items are great deals while others are remarkably overpriced (coconut milk, canned) Check expiration dates always.. They don't rotate stock like chain stores do. Btw Their churros are filled with caramel. Filled. With. Caramel.... go now :) read more

Best store ever!! Best food ever!! Amazing options. You can get a lot of stuff from Mexico that you can't find in other grocery stores. I can't wait to go back!! read more

Full on bad ass Mexican grocery. I've been to several, my favorites in slc but this place rocks!!! A meat counter as long as a bus, great prices, friendly friendly folks. I just picked up the carnitas family pack, delicious. I also picked up a couple pounds of al pastor marinated ready to go. I'm in love yo, in love. read more

After living in Tucson, Arizona for 15 years we were spoiled with the variety of Mexican markets and restaurants. When we moved to Portland we were lucky to find this great store! Veggie variety could be better, but everything else is great. The carneceria is first rate! read more

Great selection of homemade salsas. Their salsa de molcajete is lovely and the Pollo tamales were great too. They have a large variety of meats, pastries and produce. Excellent service and and attentive staff. Awesome deli/grocery store! The salsa alone will keep me coming back. read more

This is a walk into a authentic mexican grocery store with a restaurant inside. Very good food. I get the barbacoa plate and I love it

I give it four stars for the butcher counter, you can get the whole animal rather than just a t-bone or a shoulder like at a typical supermarket, and the prices are great. If you cook at home and need a specific cut to make the recipe right, this is the best place around that I know of. The rest of the store has all the basics to make staple Mexican food, though for the size of the space it could have more; other tiendas which are much smaller offer about the same. The restaurant was just ok though I have only eaten there once and will perhaps try it again. read more

Over-priced place...even the conventional items that you can find at other grocery stores are much more expensive here. The tamales are heavy on masa and really really light on filling. The home made tortillas are good but unbelievably expensive. First and last time here. read more

I love coming here. It's always busy but has a variety of things in store. I like the bakery in the back all the little things they have in store. The vegetables are always fresh and clean. They have the everyday needed utensils. The tacos from here are pretty good too. read more

Great selection of spices and dried chiles, including some bulk items.

Love the food there. Oh and the fruit stand gotta love it. My favorite store to come.

Great selection of groceries, produce, meat, cheese, etc. The vibe is always really fun and everyone is super friendly. If it's open, stop by the fruit stand in the back of the store!! Amazing liquados, smoothies, and other good things. read more

Great selection of fresh meats and also has fresh fruits/vegetables. They also have ice cream and other foods for sale. A must go if you're in the area read more

I am constantly on the search for the diamond in the rough, this place isn't it. The food and quality is on par with that of Taco Bell...perhaps that was too harsh, same level but more authentic? I don't recommend it. read more

Very friendly, helpful staff, incredible meat, seafood, fresh and hot deli. Items you won't find in lesser Latino markets. Chicirones or pickled pigs ears anyone? The best ceviche de camaron and pescado!!! Several fresh salsas-- I wish I lived next door!!! read more

My favorite Mexican store. The minute you walk in everyone says hello and welcome you with a smile. You can tell right away the place is clean and it's very organize. Not to mention the cakes and meat are absolutely delicious! Ever since they open I don't go to any other store unless I really have to. read more

Customer service sucks in the meat department they don't help people who have been waiting longest they help whoever speaks Spanish first. I walked out today after waiting and waiting only to be told I have to go to a different spot to get ceviche.. Then waited again and still not helped. Won't be going there again. read more

Great prices, cleaned, organized and fresh! Overall great place! The meat department is has a lot of variety! The bakery side is also great ordered 7 cakes at one point and got a lot compliments! We do the majority of our grocery shopping here. read more

If you have never tried their Tres Leches then you are missing out! Absolutely delicious, reasonably priced, and enough for two servings. A must stop for any of our family special occasions. read more
