    Campsite  ready
    Patricia T.

    8/29/25 Sad to report that we went back to this location today to pick up more steaks. My husband beat me to the counter and had them bag up 10 T-Bones. By the time I got the the meat counter it was already done. BUT.... These steaks were NO WAY near what we picked up a few days ago. They were laced with about an inch of FAT on about 1/3 of the meat. I didn't want to return it to the meat dept., because I know it was on sale and I shouldn't complain but I asked the gal at the register to take them back. I was not about to pay for meat that was not quality. Sorry. Maybe next visit. For me, I would not have accepted it period! My husband, on the other hand..... Pictured here, is my purchase on day 1. 5 stars for that visit.

    Interior -- Produce Department
    Norbert K.

    First time shopping here, and it was a very good experience. I stopped here specifically to buy green vegetables for NYE dinner. The Produce Department was exceptional -- well stocked and organized. Vegetable displays were picture-perfect. Overall, the store is large with easy-to-shop aisles. There's a large Panaderia near the front of the store. Associates are friendly.

    Asada from catering order
    Marcus F.

    I've had two great catering experiences at Vallarta and will definitely book more events with them in the future. The asada was delicious as well as the rice and beans. Their pico de gallo was a huge hit too. Not only was there enough to feed the attendees, there was asada for days as leftovers. - Booking online is easy but they only allow booking up to five days in advance. Not sure if you can order more in advance if you order inside of Vallarta. - Watch food abels carefully, expecially for items made from non-US countries. A few food products from south of the border had scary warning stickers like" May cause birth defects and may cause cancer" . There were no specific ingredients pointed out so maybe this is California just scaring people.

    Cakes are expensive but worth the price. Taste never fails
    Thalia F.

    Don't get me wrong, the cakes are extremely delicious and worth every penny. However, the staff needs a customer service training course. Rude from start to finish. To selection, to purchase and pickup they are rude. To top it off they send you to wait in line to pay for the cake. They told me which lane # to wait at. I waited over 15 minutes behind customers with carts FULL to the brim instead of sending me to an open lane or letting me use self checkout. Then when I got to the cashier she told me to wait even longer. She had to locate my ticket and got annoyed with me because I said I was a custom cake order. There's some lack of communication or just a lack of care. I put up with it because the cakes are great quality but hopefully in the future the staff can be respectful to customers with custom orders.

    Plastic in ceviche

    Love the store love the food, hate the service, especially at the juice/aqua Frescas area. Every time I go they take forever to start on an order. They receive it and just continue to chat. I understand when there's a line or if they're finishing another task that might be time sensitive but when they're walking back and forth just continuing their conversation, it's pretty frustrating. These ladies need to work on their customer service and efficiency.

    Mango was bad

    The yogur fruit was no good especially mango and strawberries look like they dont want trash the fruit and thennthey mixed with yougor no good fruit

    Wide aisles
    Alex D.

    I needed help with something and Carmen helped! Thank you, Carmen! The employees really care about the customers here. They sell foods you can't find at any other grocery store or market, like special cheese from México. Awesome prices, too. Clean and organized inside, plus they play good music, haha.

    Food: Great Mexican grocery store but not only Mexican food. Great ceviche choices, salsa choices, multiple Mexican & other cheeses, bakery, Great options Service: Excellent, very professional Ambiance: love the cleanliness and organized store & today had tamale & guacamole tastings

    Fantastic Al Pastor, Carne Asada, and Carnitas tacos!
    David N.

    The best tacos at the best prices in town, every day. The high quality meats are all very well seasoned and tender

    Hair right in the middle

    Went in for some corn tamales and there was a hair in it. Thought there were regulations of wearing a hairnet while making food ???

    Beef cheek

    Yesterday I bought some beef cheek to make tacos. My fridge stunk and the meat was rotten. How can they sell meat this way? They should be checking the quality of the product. I feel terrible because another person bought this meat too.

    Many ceviches to choose
    Rich M.

    After all my visits, Vallarta is my favorite Mexican market! I've been to many different markets that are very similar, but this place is the most complete supermercado. You will find some of the best fresh ceviches here, meats, pan dulce, as well as hot prepared plates, fresh hot tortillas, and much more. The prices are typically very low and competitive, across the board. It has evolved into a regular stop for me every time I'm on the way back home from the casinos. But only this location.. When they were opening a location in National City, I was excited to hear. Until I went and realized after 2 visits, buying several items that it just wasn't the same at all. The store is much smaller, and overall less quality of prepared foods, selection, and even customer service. I can't wrap my head around why they would be so different. Like 2 stars less. Don't think I've been back for 5 years or more it seems. So come here. This one. I don't even live in North county so I have to go to Northgate, still good, though a little step down for me. Even my lady(she's from Mexico City) gives it her true "Chilanga" thumbs-up approval! Well, at least we agree on something.

    tacos de lengua and cabeza
    Daniel H.

    Valentine, from the cocina department, provided us with excellent assistance. He was truly outstanding. Despite having a large order and a growing line of customers behind us, he managed to fulfill our order quickly and accurately. We tried the tacos and they were absolutely fantastic! We highly recommend them. The entire store was impeccably clean, and all the staff members were friendly. Valentine, del departamento de cocina, nos brindó una excelente ayuda. Fue realmente estupendo. A pesar de tener un pedido grande y una fila de clientes detrás de nosotros que iba en aumento, logró completar nuestro pedido rápidamente y con precisión. Probamos los tacos y ¡estaban increíbles! Definitivamente los recomendamos. Toda la tienda estaba realmente limpia y el personal era amable.

    The grilled chicken was hard. There's a language barrier when ordering food. Don't buy the grilled chickens.

    This Albertsons has recently been remodeled yet again, probably to encourage business since the…read moreVons on E Valley has closed. That makes this the closest Albertsons/Vons to me now. A good addition is the sushi section, because not many locations have that. They often do $5 Friday sushi offers, but obviously only at locations that carry it. The front of the store is rearranged slightly, but a lot of the aisles are similar. Across the sides and back haven't changed much, so the front is changed the most. The self checkout lanes are now in the more common feeder style, as opposed to back to back style like before. They also rearranged the parking lot slightly, including adding a couple of the strange straight-in handicap spots that you see at some of the Walmarts.

    I usually buy meat and seafood at Major Market across town, but was in a hurry so on 6/10/26 at…read morearound 4:30 PM I stopped at this nearby Albertson's. It's a fine store, especially after the remodel. I needed Italian sausage and was at the meat counter looking at options. A woman called out from the back asking if I need anything, so I told her and asked if the only Italian sausage they have is the mild one in the display case. She said they have more in packages around the corner and there are two brands, Cantellas and Johnsonville. I asked which is better quality and she said in a snotty tone "I don't know, I don't eat sausage". The fact that I was asking for her professional opinion and not personal preferences was lost on her. I'm never buying anything from that meat/seafood counter again. I tried several times to report this via the Albertson's website, but their contact form was not working. Anyway, I went around to the packaged options and bought some Johnsonville mild Italian sausage. Damn if it wasn't the absolute worst chewy tasteless sausage I've ever had. Literally threw it away.
