Best masa for tamales ever! But get the «quebradita» and not the prepared masa. That way you can decide how much salt and shortening to add.

We buy our masa here, really good selection of spices from all over latin america.

Nice place to buy a variety of fresh veggies. Plus, the fruits and vegetables are pretty cheap compared to the groceries you’ll find at Stater Bros and Albertsons. The staff here are very friendly and you can tell that they enjoy attending you. The deli counter is decent and their prices are reasonable. One thing I recommend from the deli counter is their headcheese made from quality trimmings of the pig’s head. Their bakery is okay, but the best thing on there are the birotes/​bolillos. If you are into Latin American ingredients this is definitely a place worth checking out.
Since this place is not a restaurant, I believe that the highest rating a grocery store should receive are 3 stars at the most.

Stay away!!!
These people have terrible attitudes and literally hate their jobs. A guy hated helping my wife so much that he made a stupid expression of disgust because my wife changed her mind about the size she wanted to purchase. The cashier was rude as well.
Overall terrible service.

Carnitas fresh and good! Chicharron fresh and crunchy! Rice and beans can’t go wrong! Hand made tortillas yummy! Can only eat this maybe twice a year but when I do we gotta go all out!!!

This review is purely based on my bakery experience. They have the best goods. So much made fresh right then. I ALWAYS get pan de muerto here because they use orange zest and it’s so moist and just perfect. I haven’t found better.
I also picked up a pumpkin pie this weekend for $ 3. OMG it was soooooo yummers. The crust was like the bread they use for the gingerbread cookies. It was super soft, nothing like any pie crust I’ve ever had. The pumpkin filling was soooooo good. Probably the best pumpkin pie I have ever had.
Customer service… in the bakery they are always so nice and so helpful. Definitely go to the bakery!!!

Great lil Latino market known for their excellent masa for tamales and their tortillas!

Terrible service I was told that if I bought alcohol it was non refundable. The price at this store was a lot more than at West Covina store and they were unable to honor the other price because they are different owners.

I was a bit disappointed, I went in for masa for tamales Friday night and went home and refrigerated the masa to make tamales Saturday morning, and the masa was spoiled, so I called the manager rosy and right away she told me to bring it and got my money back!!!

Everything here is made so well and delicious! Definitely a plus that everything is also very reasonably priced. I enjoyed all the premade foods here including salsas, tamales, tortillas, and FLAN. I appreciate that the food consists of natural ingredients and no fillers which is better than most supermarket foods Ive seen.

Freshly made tortillas that are actually thick and dont fall apart. YES!
great menudo and always enough on weekends. Its always heart breaking when you go in to get menudo somewhere and they are like «oh were out» and its only 9am. Never happened here well at least the times I have went in. Wish they put less meat though and gave me more corn in the medudo. For that 4 stars.

Love this place! Fresh made tortillas are the best!

I got a chocolate cake with icing and hard chocolate on the outside for my going away present at work. This was the most amazing cake I have had in I don’t know when. Georgette thanks so much for the cake tell your mom the store where she works rocks!
I hear so much about their tamales I have got to go.

This must be the best place in LA County to buy masa for tamales. Traffic around the store and parking lot is insane with people trying to get to the store to buy masa. The line for the masa went all the way out the door, wrapped at the side of the building to the back wall of the shopping center, then wrapped again like a ride at Disneyland! It was over an hour wait! Now it only gets that busy near thanksgiving, Christmas, and maybe New Years. Now what’s so special about the masa? I don’t know about anyone else but we love it because it’s already prepared and you don’t have to do anything to the masa other then spread it onto the leaf and add the filling. Tamales come out tasting so scrumptious!

I come here for Masa for tamales!!! Usually I buy at least 35 – 40 lbs. of it because its Sooo good & because during the holidays, you can never go wrong with tamales.
The produce is fresh, but a little on the expensive side compared to other Latin grocery chains. The meats are pretty expensive so I go elsewhere, unless I buy it there while in rush. Their bread section has your typical Latin pan dulce which is really good & made fresh daily (their ‘conchas’ are my favorite). Their deli/​food section is really good, especially when you’re there for a bite to eat (lunch, etc.)
All in all, this place keeps me coming back for the last 5+ years & with their friendly service & stellar Masa, I’ll be coming back for as long as they exist :)

Wow… in my whole live I have never seen that many mexicans stand in line… just to buy masa!
I get it… masa is very time consuming and you don’t want to screw it up. This is DEFINITELY the place to go to get it. We bought 60lbs this year and used up all of it. MmMmmmm
+Real authentic mexican food. Really nice staff.
+Shrimp ceviche is delicious
Conclusion: If you go to another place to get masa, your crazy. But maybe play it smart and order it a few days in advance? Call it in? Idk. we waited 1 hr and 45 mins to get it…

To be honest, I have yet to visit this place myself. But I have to rate them because of what my friend (who told me about this place) brought for me to try one morning last week.
I swear that nothing starts off my morning better than a pack of fresh corn tortillas, 2 pounds of freshly-​cooked-​uncut-​still-​hot carnitas, and a pound of fresh pico de gallo.
I don’t even remember what else happened that morning. All I freaking remember is skipping the cutting and biting straight off the 2 lb chunk of carnitas, eating my tortillas like it was Naan or Pita bread, and scooping spoonfuls of pico de gallo into my mouth like a child having ice cream for the first time. Yes, I loved it… loved it so much that I completely realized later that I was a total pig in the way I ate, which come to think of it would somehow mean that I’m pigging out on a distant fatter cousin deep fried earlier that morning. BUT I felt no remorse for him/​her. dO_​Ob
This is how carnitas ought to be made and eaten. Fresh, hot, *JUICY*, and freaking AWESOME. Totally can’t wait to drive down myself and pick up 5 lbs this time so that I will no longer be known as the skinny glutton. Maybe I’ll put on some weight after all. =)

This place is f***ing awesome. Hold on, am I allowed to drop the f-​bomb on here?. Well, I had to use that card.
They have uncooked sopes, pan dulce, fresh salsas, a SEPARATE section just for tortillas/​masa and a huge selection in the hot foods which includes 5 kinds of tasty ready to savour ceviche! Tamales are good; not for the feign of heart if you’re oil squeamish!
I’ll be back and I’ll bone up on my Spanish in between then. I apologize for not remembering a few words and then the lady gave me the wrong items. It’s all good… your mistake was my delicious lunch.
