Great Mexican market with a big selection of ready to go meals. They have good tortillas and their pan dulce selection is fantastic. The order process in the cake section is a bit of a hot mess. I am fluent in both Spanish and English and I had a hard time communicating with one of the ladies in the cake area. But I assume that it was because it's a new store that's extremely busy and people are still learning. The guacamole they make is fantastic! We got some chicharrones the ones that have little chunks of meat and they were phenomenal. They are have great chicken fajitas marinated chicken so you can go home and cook it your self. My husband grabbed 3 pounds of it and we had a delicious dinner accompanied by an order of their refried beans and Mexican rice. read more

Writing this review in hope that someone in the bakery department will read it. This location had the BEST conchas me and my family have ever tasted. I'd go back weekly just for those. Recently in the past month or so they have turned dry flaky and old tasting and just plain horrible. read more

Terrible experience when I went in and ordered Tacos. Carnitas was very very dry, Al pastor was old and greasy, and overall customer service was TERRIBLE! Never again! read more

Vallarta Supermarkets - Al pastor taco - Grocery Near Me - Modesto, California

Presentation, they do well. Cleanliness seems good. Cashiers need training. Cashier and someone shadowing him or possibly she was a manager traning him decided to kindly debate the price of bags while also trying to sell me a small loaf of bread. Lol! So unprofessional. 15 cents per bag is a lot. I simply expressed my thought and didn't carry on with it but they both decided to defend their price and compare it to the bay area charging 25cents which is a lie. Im from the bay area. Im visiting Modesto. Bags are 10cents. But the person shadowing kept insisting she was right. Even after I told her im from the bay area, just visiting. She kept on. The cashier should've just let the customer say what they need especially when it was kindly said....not try and win a disagreement. Not very becoming of this new store. Learn customer service and professionalism!!!! I paid over $100 at this place to experience that petty crap. Will I come back? Not if they want to be petty and debate bag prices. Reading the reviews, looks like they do need improvement w professionalism and overall customer service. *UPDATE* after coming home and eating the food. Nope. Tamales were dry. Casero cheese smelled and tasted like rotten milk. Beans and rice was ok but tasted like taco bell where its cheaper. So, bad service and food was not that great. **management: do not post a generic comment about how you want me to email you for more assistance. Just train your crew better- thats the real test, if YOURE doing YOUR job and implementing and enforcing good customer service. read more

Wow! I found this GEM on a "field trip" to another location in Modesto. This store is amazing. Walking in immediately to your left is a sushi display, and guacamole is made fresh in front. Ahead, there is a taqueria and a fresca station that are good and can get busy. There is a full bakery, fresh tortillas and chips, an expansive meat department, fresh produce, and "La Fruteria" (fresh cut fruit). They stock all the popular brands and more. The spirits section in front is limited but the selection is impressive. This is 65 miles away from my house. It puts the grocers near my house to shame. Safeway, Raleys, Whole Foods.. you need to step up your game. Right now, Vallarta is eating your lunch read more

Vallarta is so expensive for no reason. Never buy the meats they are really nasty and expire really quick, even the meat lady said so that to never buy the meats there because they are very gross. Manager is so lazy didn't want to give me my money back after I told him that the meats was expired. Never shopping here again so over priced it's ridiculous. read more

Love how clean the place is. Hate that I have to pack my own groceries. Especially when I'm carrying a child or my purse. I think it would be best to be asked if we needed help packing the bags as an option instead of getting the bag thrown on the belt on top of my groceries. Rude and unprofessional. Middle-Aged Lady, Lizette L. At least that's what my receipt said. I don't know. Just do better. Thanks. read more

Just popped in to buy the guys some tamales. Nice place. Great selection. Got chicken, cheese, pork, and beef. Everyone loved them! I'll definitely be back. read more

We have been waiting for an all in one specialty store like this one. We can get all are needs and dinner too. Plus added bonus like a cool drink made right in front of you. Definitely new go to spot read more

I was big fan of this store when they first opened. The customer service was top notch. However now their service is lacking. Especially the MEAT DEPARTMENT! They will not give you what they have displayed, and of course they displayed the best meat. They will go in the back and give you the worst quality of meat. I was highly disappointed, I would of took the meat back if I didn't live 40 minutes away. Also their customer service is terrible, I waited 15 minutes to be help when no one else was being helped. There was about 6 employees there and no one offer to help. Big difference to when they first opened they were very attentive. When I was helped I was quickly told by another employee to move from where I was which was so rude since I'm a paying customer. Never ever coming back to this store. You're better off supporting other stores than this one. read more

I stopped by today and had a really good experience.Adrina was very helpful,patient,and polite the whole time.They greeted customers with good attitude and kept everything moving smoothly even when it got busy.You can tell they care about customer service.I appreciate the great service and will definitely come back read more

I absolutely love this supermarket!!! the sushi is AMAZING!!! I wish I discovered it sooner. The employees are always so kind and welcoming, always smiling and treating everyone so friendly. It honestly makes the whole experience even better. I love going there, grabbing some sushi, and enjoying it with my RedBull lol read more

Great new place in town that offers so many delicious items. The juice bar is excellent.

This grocery store is so wonderful. This is our new favorite place to go. The ceviche is phenomenal, the salsa bar amazing, and their tamales are so good. Literally all of their food is freshly made and delicious. Their prices are affordable and you get so much bang for your buck. The staff are always so lovely too. read more

I love the store and all that it has to offer. The customer service is great. They have a variety of everything. Everything is great for a supermarket. Thank you. read more

New store. Very clean, lots of options. Good prices. And a bit packed. Very modern and well stocked read more

I went to check out the new market restaurant section and even though on display the food looks really appealing that's as good as it got. their super burrito was one of the worst I've had if not thee worst I've had. Their chicken to go was so dry, I'd rather go have tacobell. Their store portion is beautiful and big...reminds me of a Mexican Sprouts. read more

What can I say about this grocery store...everything positive!!! It was our first experience and when we entered, I have to admit, I was a bit overwhelmed lol. I wasn't prepared for the choices that were going to be available for us. But WOW! What a ride!! I will admit that you need to pick and choose your battles, when it comes to full grocery shopping. Some items are a bit overpriced and others are on target! We stuck with a Hispanic grocery list, with a few out of the box items that we have never seen in other places (ie, black garlic, saffron). Then we attacked the food counters...agua frescas, yes, delish! Bakery, sinfully the best. The tamales, (which I'm not the biggest fan of) damn, y'all converted me! And the torta...the torta! So much flavor! It was huge, so we split it, (cause we both take the "shot") and we both couldn't stop eating and discussing how good it was! Lemme tell ya...the torta and tamales can break Wegovy lol! That's how delicious they are! Oh and let me discuss the staff... the most amazing, courteous, kind, patient and generous staff I have ever dealt with in any establishment outside of my home state of Louisiana!! They made me feel like familia! So if y'all haven't been yet, don't walk, RUN! Pass y'all a good time while makin' groceries and eat some great food! Oh dang...almost forgot! THEY GOT CRACKLINS Y'ALL!!! CRACKLINS IN CALIFORNIA!!! read more

Ridiculously overrated. This place has zero basic grocery selection and is insanely expensive. The asada was full of fat and grissle, and the prepared pollo was flavorless and bland. Going back to the good carniceria in Empire, the meat is a joke here. Conchas and tamales way over priced and mid at best. Yeah, this store is mad hype and I bet in less than 5 years will be something else. read more

Over all its good but meat department is already not on point, meats starting to look old , the quality of the carne picada is horrible for its price, would not recoment it if you want it for your kids, horrible service from 4 guys there they were looking for another person to help me i dont understand that , theres alot of good stuff here tho.. read more

If you haven't been to the new Vallarta's on Pelandale and the new one on Orangeburg opening on the 27th you need to check them out! You will never shop anywhere else! I grew up in Modesto and will no longer go to SaveMart, Sprouts, Safeway, and Raley's anymore! The variety is incredible and they have so much fresh hot and prepped foods, meat, seafood, fruits, and the friendliest staff! Plus it's family owned and operated, and you can tell! read more

Over all a great store! The staff are friendly and happy to help. Great meat, seafood and ready to go food options. Produce is fresh with plenty of options. My one complaint is that there is one door for entrance and exit and it does not seem to be big enough for the type of crowds they receive. Two carts cannot fit at the same time causing back up both entering and exiting the store. Besides that it is an overall great store! read more

Wow--Vallarta is exactly what this area needed! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the incredible product assortment. They have everything you could possibly need, from fresh produce to specialty items you don't find at just any grocery store. Even though they just opened and were understandably busy, the store was running like a well-oiled machine. There were plenty of employees available, all friendly and eager to help. It's clear that customer service is a priority here. The store itself is bright, clean, and well-organized, making for an easy and enjoyable shopping experience. I can already tell this is going to be my go-to supermarket. If you haven't checked out Vallarta yet, do yourself a favor and go--you won't be disappointed! read more

Too many screw ups. I've been at this place many times and I'm done. Always something wrong with my to-go orders. I was patient hoping things would get better with time but never did never happen. The times I did call to let them know my order wasn't right they either don't pick up the phone or they always said the manager is either in a meeting or in his/her break. I've been in the area for many years and I don't need their business but they need ours. Whatever they have and sell I can find anywhere else near by. Good luck to them. read more

Freshly made Juice is delicious. Asked a question about the party trays from a man. As I walked away, I saw him laughing with the young lady at the register as he looked at me. Yeah, probably thinks I couldn't afford it. But what pisses me off even more is the up charges. I clearly see the prices on the board. He about doubled it for every item. No, not stupid here. But he thinks I am. Won't be ordering from a clearly biased place. NEVER judge a book by its cover! read more

The old Savemart may rest in peace now as new better and colorful tenant occupies the vacant building after 15 years of closing its doors , Vallarta Supermarkets has it all , Mex cuisine , tamales , a deli and dulceria with great deals up and down the aisles, a must visit when in N Modesto California read more

Purchased a burrito at La Cocina. It took just under 30 minutes ! And it was made wrong! Also, I paid $1.79 for crema but they didn't put any in my burrito, and used refried beans instead of whole beans like I ordered. I didn't say anything to the supervisor because on my prior visit, he didn't do anything after I informed him that it took 38 minutes for my burrito order. Very poor experience both times read more

It's not the first time I buy Chicharones's but it's getting worse every time super salty over cook The cashiers with bad super bad attitude its Sad to see people like her We love Vallarta store But they need to hired real people read more

Amazing store. Clean staff pretty much always friendly prices a pinch high but worth the quality!

Great deals...wish they had more of what I USUALLY BUY at Savemart... so I go to both

This is a nice clean and big store . You will find everything you will need . From grocery shopping to grabbing a meal if you're hungry. It seems to go pretty fast and smooth. The only drawback is for a Mexican store it's a bit on the pricey side for items . read more

Wow, my friend took me here and it was absolutely eye opening with the variety of items. Spent time walking the store then getting hot food and was thoroughly impress with the service and staff. Great job! read more

Stopped by for a potty break returning from Yosemite and ended up getting a few things. Grand opening was popping on a Sunday after church. Store was extremely clean, welcoming, and offered a plethora of items. Staff appeared friendly. I only limited myself around the hot deli and self-serve tamale section or else I would have walked out with a shopping cart full of stuff. The hot food section had so much variety from agua fresca, carniceria, desserts, sushi and more. The displays were clean and enticing. Floral section was very bright and pretty. Self-checkout was quick and service was nearby in case you needed help. Bathrooms were very clean and the housekeeper was just finishing up when I got there. Only 2 bathrooms, but when you have only unisex bathrooms, constant cleaning is a MUST with a certain half of the population unable to aim into the bowl directly. I will for sure visit again when I'm in town. They need some in the Bay Area! read more

Clean, well-lit, spacious, and plenty of options, but it is on the pricier side, especially the cafeteria menu items. Despite that, the food was satisfactory. read more

I just finished seasoning the 8lbs of arranchera I purchased and it's mostly fat and very thick. There was even a piece of diesmillo they threw in there. The quality is nothing like it was when I purchased it the first week they opened. Had a feeling they were going to do the bait n switch. Really regret going back, but never again. Don't waste your money. read more

Florist- I bought a bouquet of flowers for my daughter's 16th birthday. I asked the gal there if I can make a request and change the paper wrap which she was willing to do but convinced me of if I wanted it customized for an additional $5 so I said ok. I'm very pleased and my daughter was happy she received the beautiful bouquet. I recommend this place because the flowers are fresh and they have a wide variety of flowers to choose from. The area is spacious, clean and organized! I recommend coming to buy flowers here! read more

Very nice store. Parking lot stalls are way too tight. Large selection of pre made foods. Tried asada burrito taste was good but way smaller than a taco truck burrito for the same price. Meat counter was displayed well but big downside you pull a ticket and wait forever for it to be called. Only one person filling the orders at the counter while several others are standing around. The produce looked very good and I bought plenty to try. read more

A beautiful store with a great selection and the workers are amazing. I love how they have fresh food a a drink bar.

Heard the aguas frescas were good so I had to try for myself and let me just say, fresh fresh fresh! They were all satisfying. And even the prices were reasonable a large was $4.99 and a jug yes you heard right you can purchase a jug of aguas frescas for $9.99. The variety of foods, drinks and freshly made tortillas are more than enough reasons to make this a go to destination! read more

This is an amazing supermarket! They have everything you can possibly want. The produce was fresh and reasonably priced! They have hot food, bakery department, an impressive meat and seafood section, fresh tortillas!!! One reminder for all... when shopping in the produce department, be sure to look at the signs carefully to see which items are priced per pound versus each (per unit). Things that are traditionally sold as "each" at other supermarkets are sold by pound. One good example are the pineapples. It's per pound here, not each. All in all, I am more amreally glad this is in our neighborhood!! Oh and did I mention that the location is fabulous??? It's right off the freeway for easy in and out. Although... the parking lot seems a bit small for once everyone knows it's open and on weekend! read more
