Superior Grocers

Lines are backed in to aisle only 3 lanes open. Manger talking and joking with employees. Definetly won’t be back.

I wouldn’t even give them one star! This place is gross! I’ve only been there a handful of times. Every time, one or more of my food items are rotten. There are gnats flying around the fruit and the fish smells like pork. Wt!!!
I always wind up paying way more than I pay for a similar basket of groceries from Ralph’s.
So if your in the mood for a scavanger hunt for fresh food and low prices, be my guest. Im staying away!

The only place to shop for produce and groceries in the area. So fresh, yet so cheap. Skip the Vons and the Ralphs. This place lives up the the name. SUPERIOR!

This supermarket is normally very busy. Especially when they have sales… What I hate the most about this place is out of 20 registers they always only have about 3 open, which makes the lines super long.

This is a first…
My partner and I shop for our groceries here 2 – 3 times a week. Produce is usually up to par and staff are usually quick about bringing out a fresh batches if needed.
The store is clean and usually well stocked.
But the reason for the 1 star does not include the above.
The reason for the one star comes from the shitty management — there is a manager named Cesar who works there and he can clearly give a shit about his job. We’ve caught him several times harassing his employees — just watching and waiting for a case to unfold.
On another note — the LINES are effin ridiculously long BECAUSE this manager does NOT prioritized his customers having to leave this market after they are done shopping.
The time waiting in line can be used to drive up to another market get what you need and leave. Hope my review helps.

Came here on 9÷3÷14 to pick up a few things but couldn’t help but fill my cart up with great deals. I haven’t written a review for this place, but had to compliment an employee by the name of Jesus G. As I pushed my filled cart to my van, he stopped his job of collecting the shopping carts and with a smile, offered to help me load my car for me. I have only gotten this type of «service» at a Henry’s market when they were around. It was so nice to see a young adult offer to extend his help. A+ for service. Can I suggest that the manager give him a job as a cashier? The store could certainly use someone who provides good customer service with a smile! Thanks Jesus!!!

On the real, I came on a thursday and wow… DIRT CHEAP PRODUCE. For example, 5 cilantro bunches for $ 1. Tell me that isn’t a good price.
Downside, marinated meats… EXPENSIVE. They don’t have salsa that they make like El Super.
Seriously though, dirt cheap produce.
–Give it a try!

Wednesday and Thursday packed in morning for sales. Good sales don’t get me wrong but long line. Maybe a few more cashiers because they have the equipment, but all good. So long as I get threw the line sometime today

this is the place i come for tortilla chips and if I ever want a fresh batch of peanut butter :) the prices here are alright the produce however, that’s another story. I noticed that this location has been remodeled but some departments look the same (bakery, meat x tortilla) the cashiers were also very efficient I can’t complain there.

The store is always clean and organized. The selection of produce is fantastic. I love the bulk items they sell. Bulk honey, bulk lentils, bulk candy. The prices are reasonable.
HOWEVER, the employees are another story. It’s as though they are being recruited from Wal-​Mart.
I went to the meat department and asked for thinly sliced ham. They slice it for you in whatever width you ask for. They had already pre cut slices that were too thick for my taste. I told him I wanted some cut much thinner than that. I know it’s as easy as throwing the block of ham on the slicer and slicing the ham. BUT for some reason he understood that I wanted the already pre cut ham to be sliced thinner. He called over an older man and the older man informed me that it’s dangerous to cut the already cut ham. I honestly could not believe how inept of people they were so I just said thanks and walked away. As I was leaving, the older man offered to slice the ham from the block of meat. I declined and walked away. I’m definitely going to go to a different market for my future purchases. I’m still dumbfounded by how strange that situation was. Also, there is a BIRD LIVING IN THE STORE. I’m sure it’s pooping on everything so be on the look out.

You know what your getting cheap food and a lot of mexicans

Soooo I got kicked out of the express line for having 14 items?! Ya the limit is 10 but seriously it took forever to put my things back in the cart and squeeze out of line!!! This place is poorly managed, the shopping carts have a minimum of one wheel missing or broken which is inevitable as they are strewn throughout the parking lot. I always stop by for the weekly sale but every time I go they’re out of the product they were advertising? Not stepping foot in here again.

I love their homemade tortilla chips! Sooo good! I was thinking of making guacamole, but their avocado prices were dirt cheap, but they were soo raw and not ripe at all. But the rest of the produce section was dirt cheap on produce. =D

THE GOOD:
When the sale is on, the prices on some fruits and vegetables cannot be beat.
THE BAD:
I.D. is requested when running a credit card transaction. Seriously, who is out ruining someone’s good credit by criminally purchasing a few pounds of Italian Squash?
THE UGLY:
Leaving a light on and no one is there to tend to the register.
TO THE MANAGEMENT:
I would ask that you review your procedures on transactions such as mine where I bought a minor amount of produce; less than $ 5. Should I really need to show I.D. for such a purchase?
Also, I would encourage you to make sure to have more cashiers available. As we both know, there are times when there are very long lines in your store. I would be concern tempers could run high after a long-​day at work or elsewhere and have to tolerate a lone line at the end of their day.

Well, I the meat and veggies always go on special Wednesday& Thursday’s which is cool but there also the worst days to go the lines are long and the have more registers then they do ppl to run them. I hate the lines here. The produce itself is more of a use the day of instead of a weekly purchase. All in all its closer than vons and Albertsons so I go here :)

Jose the bakery manager is lacking in customer service skills. Not only did he make my situation worse, but it seems he enjoyed seeing me upset. I forgot my receipt to pick up the cake I ordered. I offered my ID, all the info about the cake and even asked my partner to send me a picture of the receipt on the refrigerator. Jose did not want to hear any of it and gave me some excuse about doing his job. Anyhow I went back with the receipt and got my cake. I was very upset by the fact that Jose did not even attempt to help me or look at the receipt on my phone. I will no longer patronize this bakery as I was made to feel like a second class citizen.

This is a very Hispanic oriented grocery store. They have great prices on produce and on meats. The people there are not very helpful but usually you know what you are going for. I usually go here for all my groceries and any commercial stuff I go to Vons. I really like that I can find all my South American cooking ingredients which helps when my wife needs those weird things for her recipes.

This is where I spend my Thursday evenings. Their sales change over every Wednesday. So I avoid Wednesdays here it’s the most crowded day of the week. They have 2day sales every week on wed and Thursday. Yeah parking can be a bitch. But hey, a little walking doesn’t hurt anyone. What I cannot stand is the long lines! Ahhhh. Avoid going to the Market the first week of every month, all these freeloaders on EBT are always in there raking up on Beer and chips. I have had people in the parking lot offer to pay with their Ebt card $ 100 dollars worth of groceries for $ 50 in cash. Pffft! Whatever.
The staff in here are not the nicest people, but I’m not there to talk to them. Overall good savings and great selection of products.

So… I used to love this place. Everything is wallet-​friendly, fruits and veggies are pretty fresh and inexpensive! :) Everything else is pretty inexpensive as well…
But what went wrong? I guess I wasn’t hispanic enough for them.
Helpful hint: if ever you’re there to pick up some groceries… do it FAST and dodge their employees at all costs, if you don’t want their employees talking about you in front of your face to other employees in a language they think you don’t understand… Not a big fan of murmuring in general, but a brush of semi/​pseudo-​racism isn’t really something I enjoy. :) So, this Thanksgiving, I shall be thankful for understanding Spanish as an Asian =)

Get in and get out. That’s my motto when I go to Superior. Usually because I don’t want to run into my students. This is my go-​to spot when I need specific hispanic condiments. I know that they will always have what I need. You go to Ralph’s and look for chile, you have a few selections. When you go to Superior, you have a plethora of chile; fresh, canned, dried, powdered, pre-​made salsa, etc. You get it.
The other thing I come here for are Platanos Machos. They usually have a large selection here so I get what I want.
To keep prices down, they have you bag your own groceries. I sort of like this because I can bag things how I want. I also, always take my own bags with me whenever I shop, but I would definitely take reusable bags here because the bags here are VERY, VERY cheap and seem to always rip from the cart to the car.
