Los Rancheros Supermarket

Eh it was okay. It’s a smallish store.
The employees are nice.
You can’t get lost.
They have a «fresh» meat selection, which is where I deduct 2 stars. I bought about 2lbs of pre-​marinated flank steak. It really wasn’t that good. It wasn’t flavorful and it didn’t taste fresh. I threw half of it away. It’s $ 8.xx per lb so there goes that money.

Fresh produce and very friendly staff. Butcher was also really friendly. Great place to buy Hispanic foods although of you are looking for something obscure call first because space is limited

Love this store. Produce is great and well stocked. Fantastic baked goods usually always warm fresh out of oven. Great butcher shop. All ingredients you need!!!

I come here for the Carne Asada! It is so delicious and awesome for making tacos. I recently bought 7 lbs for a party (about 25 people) and it was perfect; not too expensive at all! Everyone was asking me where i bought the meat! I definitely recommend Los Rancheros Supermarket.

Omg, the best tacos I have ever tasted. I have had them in Mexico, and these are the best ones around. Plus, on the weekend. They have elotes!

Find everything you want for authentic Mexican cooking here. All of the spices and produce. Full meat, fish and cheese counter. Various nick nacks. My favorite is the always in stock plantain/​banana leafs for my pulled pork.

A small little Mexican grocery store that surprisingly impressed!
From the outside it didn’t look like much, but from the inside it was pretty much clean from aisle to aisle. Upon entrance:
~To the right is a large case of of baked goods, breads, bolillos, conchas, donuts, and pastries.
~Straight ahead, are fruit and vegetable stands. The area seems clean and has a large selection to choose from.
~In a corner section of the store, there are many choices of herbs as well. Although I did not find smoked paprika, boo! Something I needed.
~The grocery aisles were well stocked and organized.
~But I think the best thing here is the large selection of meat. It’s worth buying here! For sanitary reasons, this place separates the different meats unlike some places I’ve been to. Plus, you know it’s a good sign when you see mom’s lining up to buy bags of meat. Cheap, but still fresh!
~Great service! The butcher asked if I needed help.
Cool beans! I’ll be back to buy my Mexican ingredients here next time for sure! Except for the smoked paprika.
Parking can suck here, and gets kinda dirty, but it’s ghetto Concord. What do you expect!
One last positive, if you need to pick up Korean ingredients too, you can simply walk next door to Hankook Market. :)

Food is great but service is not always the best. This morning I waited to place order. 4 employees were working but no one acknowledged me, I got tired of waiting and as I was stepping out and announced I wad leaving because my order was not taken. I was looked as if I was nuts and they did nothing to help, apologized or anytime SMH

After reading the Unilocal reviews, we were very excited to try out this Mexican market. We were putting on a taco bar for a family visit and wanted fresh tortillas, marinated meats, and other good quality Mexican fixings to make it as authentic as possible.
Right after our visit, we were seriously disappointed. Why? The market is quite small and has much less of a selection than Los Montanas. Plus, it is NOT a tortilleria (you can get fresh tortillas at to El Molino). Also, the selection of deli items (salsas etc) wasn’t the best. We had hoped to get a pico de gallo, fresh tortillas, fresh cotija cheese, and restaurant quality tortilla chips. We walked out with packaged corn and flour tortillas (flour was a generic brand, corn tortillas looked fresh), packaged tortilla chips, packaged huaraches, and tomatilla salsa instead of the pico de galle (they didn’t have any). They did have the marinated meats and fresh cotija cheese we were looking for.
Several hours later after we had cooked the carne asada and marinated chicken fajitas, our estimation of this little market markedly rose. The meat was lean, but extremely flavorful. I bought about two pounds each and there were no leftovers. NONE! This was not a large get together either. The fresh cheese was amazing. The corn tortillas were good quality. The tomatilla salsa was among the best I had ever tasted. Tortilla chips (a random brand) were really good as well. Only real disappointment were the flour tortillas. But real Mexicans don’t eat flour tortillas anyways.
Service was friendly and the market was clean. They take credit.
Keeping the rating to a three star because this market may be too small to serve a general all-​purpose shopping trip. As a carniceria, I highly recommend it.
Update: Raising the rating to 4 star because it beats out the market right across the street for meat choice. That market is quite a bit bigger too. The marinated chicken fajita meat is amazing. Also, try the queso fresca. OMG!!!

Los Rancheros looks huge from the outside, pretty compact on the inside. everything is neatly stacked. panaderia just a single large cabinet with different pricing for pictured items (3/​$ 1, .69, .79, .89, 2/​$ 3) some cheap, some pricey
the usual mexican departments present
buys: bananas (.59@ lb)
notes:
–parking very bad here
3.5 stars for friendly service, checkout.

My love, Los Rancheros Supermarket. Fresh nopales, several kinds of dried chile peppers for making into sauce, couple of dozen limes, big ass bag of dried corn for pozole, papaya bursting with flavor.
And the friendliest, nicest service to boot. What more could you ask for?
PS: Since they’re located in CoCo County, they still use plastic bags for purchases. I guiltily accepted one because I can use it for my cat box needs. shhhhh…

Great place to grab some authentic Mexican bread. They are open way early too!

Los Rancheros is a wonderful supermarket with courteous, helpful employees who really care about their customers.

If you’re latino and live in the suburbs that is Walnut Creek, Concord or Pleasant Hill this is your spot. This is where you can get all the stuff your mom made. I like the selection of marinaded meats. The meat is reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly particularly if you speak Spanish. They also have a parking lot so parking isn’t an issue.

Dropped in on Sat and we got our marinated meats, so good. Staff is pretty funny, they talk to me in Spanish and English as I must give off the vibe that I can not speak Spanish.
Don’t worry folks, I speak good Spanish and I surprise them when I reply and they surprise me by understanding.
Good Place…

The meat here and other local stores have horrible quality meat to much fat and hardly any red meat or to difficult to take all that fat. Just look closely and see for yourself. To expensive and not fair to the consumer to buy a pound of meat to cut all that fat and not eat a pound of what u payed for.

I’ve gone to this market a few times to buy their marinated meats, El Molino tortillas and miscellaneous spices. Their marinated meats are awesome! Everyone there is very helpful from the guys behind the meat counter to the ladies behind the cash register… everyone is always willing to help. This is especially good for someone who doesn’t speak Spanish. I’ve been to Las Montanas but I prefer to shop here because of their staff and their marinated meats. This is a small neighborhood grocery store so I feel like I’m supporting a local business and at the same time getting getting excellent customer service.

The pre-​marinated carne asada is da bomb!

If Los Rancheros were a person and I were not already in a serious relationship, I would want to be in a serious relationship with Los Rancheros. Seriously, it’s that good of a market.
I love their marinated flat meat for carne asada. It is delicious and inexpensive. They have a lovely selection of fresh fruits and vegetables. They also carry my favorite flour tortillas (El Molino… made just down the street!) which are perfect with the carne asada.
To top it all off, their staff are incredibly nice and helpful.

I’ve been next door to the taqueria, but recently I got my hands on a Mexican cookbook and gave the mercado a try. I was pleased to find welcoming, helpful staff, clean, well-​lit, well-​stocked aisles with everything I needed to complete my meal. Beautiful meats and produce make me happy. They have all the fresh herbs Safeway won’t have if you’re getting authentic, way cheaper tomatillos, every dry chile imaginable and a wide variety of plantains I barely know where to start. Prices are easy on the wallet too.
