Lola’s Market

Lola’s is a Mexican deli, a butcher shop, a vegetable market and a «market» — in that order I would say.
Lola’s has an amazing deli! On Saturdays, tacos are cooked in the front, Want a burrito? — just go inside the market. The old woman who makes the carnitas got me hooked by giving me a sample and a sly smile — now I’m addicted. She makes the burritos — and sometimes the line is very long — but she has the pace of a tractor in low gear — constant movement and you are certain to have your food eventually. It is worth the wait.
The bakery is very good too… they have a lemon pound cake they make by the loaf. You can buy the whole loaf or just a thick slice. Sofie and I always get a few slices for breakfast the next day.
What is good about Lola’s besides the food is location. It is the first market off 101 Central Healdsburg exit. Just to the right. If you are going to have a big day in the wine country, what better foundation for all that drinking than food from the deli?
The grocery store is small — but I always stock up on garlic, limes, and onions because it’s cheaper than Safeway. They have good selection of meat — such that it’s more of a butcher shop than a market.
The people at Lola’s are friendly.

One of those specialty secret places to find all your authentic Mexican foods and spices. I had fun strolling through here. If I lived in the area, I’d frequent it more.

When my mom brought me here for the first time, i was so excited! Forgive me if i’m wrong, but I feel like this is the most authentic Mexican market we have in Healdsburg!
Although at first sight, this place is a bit janky, all the food here is well presented and clean. Near the back wall you’ll find plenty of fresh produce including lots of Mexican herbs and spices not usually sold at your usual supermarket. Alongside the produce is their butcher/​deli, where HANDS DOWN the sell the best guacamole in the world. Guaranteed. haha Every time I come to Healdsburg, whether its with friends or just to visit my family I make sure i drop by here and buy some chips and guacamole. It is seriously heavenly!
Additionally, the staff here has always been super friendly and super helpful. One time i came here to buy said guacamole and couldn’t find it. Although the only lady working there didn’t speak english, she was more than helpful and once she figured out what I wanted, she chuckled, disappeared into the back, and moments later came back with a bowl of the best guacamole ever! Thank you a million, Mexican lady from Lola’s!
More suggestions: try anything in their deli. Whether its the meat, salsas, sauces, or anything else with a price on it, just try it. You seriously wont be disappointed!

If you are a tourist don’t even think of coming in here! Its way too gritty, and authentic for you!
For the perfect picnic lunch ever…
1. get 1.5lb or so of carnitas from the hot food counter. also get a small pico de gallo
2. get an 8 pk of tortillas
3. get your refreshments! i love the medio litro de coca cola… but you could grab some beers, cheladas etc.
Now, you could either enjoy your meal outside on the picnic benches they have out front, or head down to Memorial beach just down the street, or head up to the Healdsburg square, and hang out near the fountain, and people watch…
This is some real grub! This ain’t no mo f’ing oakville yuppy b. s…

Another hidden gem, right at the gateway to the Russian River Wine Country! They have a nice large parking lot (at least for Healdsburg) and it’s location is easy on and easy off of Highway 101. Since they are not located near the square, the locals will testify that this is a welcome pleasure and an added plus!
Lola’s has great prices on produce, produce and more produce. Watch for the weekly circular and you’ll get some great deals! My favorites our the Roma tomatoes and the limes. They are as fresh as it gets! Lola’s also has a meat market, bakery and other grocery staples.
In the warm months, they offer fresh BBQ Chicken from the grill. Pair it up with some sweet corn and watermelon and you have the perfect summertime meal! Yum!!!
While Lola’s may cater to the Latino community, the rest of us in town will consider this our little secret…
