Northgate Gonzalez Markets

This ones not so good as the one off Harbor X McFadden because most of the fruits are spoiled and moldy. The guacamole is sometimes to salty or sour depending on which staff makes it that day. Always ask to taste test before you buy the dips. I once got milk here and it was rancid. Beware of the food you get here and look out for spoiled /​expired food.

Love the atmosphere here, and it is Worth shopping here for the homemade Tamales and Guacamole alone!!! Try it, You’ll like it!

Not sure why anyone shops at el super when this place is across the street? Seriously tho.
Always fair prices, friendly staff, and a clean store.
I’m writing a review this time because I was particularly impressed with Juan Carlos. I told Juan that I was looking for a particular kind of short grain rice. He pulled out his phone and googled the rice so that he could understand just what I was looking for. Then he went with me to search for the particular rice.
Success– he found it within minutes.
The bigger success is how he handled the situation. When presented with a question where he could’ve easily said «I dunno,» he took the time to look into it and then search for it.
To me, this shows that he is a real asset to this business. And Juan, if you’re reading this, keep that attitude. It’ll get you far in life. People notice that kind of stuff.

Came here an hour before closing & asked for 2lbs of ham, was told their machine was cleaned and couldn’t suffice my request. Great excuse!

Seafood is always fresh here at any given time of the day. The aguachilies are my absolute favorite and I’m in love with the serrano salsa. Never too crowded at this location. At least not anymore than usual. Great prices and delicious items!

Mold in the «fresh baked bread» be careful. The bread in particular that had the mold is the one that has jalapeños & cheese inside. When I called to speak with the manager he said that they check the bread every morning.
I shop at this Northgate every week and this is the first incident.. I really hope that the pay better attention to the quality of the food. I pay a lot of money to get fresh & quality food items.

I love northgate markets. They have the best lunch options including desserts (strawberries with crème, papaya, bionicos and more). However, not all locations are the same. This is one of my favorite locations. The parking lot is safe, the store is clean and their food options are endless. The only problem is that a takes a long time to get your food and then you have to make a second line to pay for it. I wish they let you pay at the food counter. Also they don’t have any indoor eating tables like many of the other markets so you have to eat outside in the sun.

$ 6.99 Plato Combo
$ 19.99 Family Meal (Choice of Meat, 1 lb rice, 1 lb beans, ½ lb salsa, 20 mini corn tortillas)
The barbacoa is delicious and it’s even better when the meat oils mix into the beans. To die for. For the family meal, we got chicken and it was way too much even for 4 people… we could also be deathly weak eaters, haha. Oddly enough, the 2^nd time I went they had a sample table out, so you could taste 3 different types of salsa and 2 different types of meat.
The plato combo is shareable between two people.
Service
======
Both times I didn’t have a problem in speaking English, although it is clear this is a predominantly Spanish market.
Extra
======
— Grab a number. They call out in Spanish first.
— You can ask for half-​size salsa for the family meal to split between two choices. The avocado one is not allowed cause it’s pricier per-​pound than the other ones.

What a shitty place to get a money order from. The lady couldn’t speak English and literally assumed I spoke Spanish.
When I asked her what was the minimum amount I could get without giving my info, the only thing she kept saying was «no».
It’s like she was rudely shutting me out just because I couldn’t speak Spanish.

Most of the cashiers are rude and robotic, Maricela made me feel welcome and I appreciated her treatment. The other workers that stock are usually nice and helpful, cashiers could learn from them, Maricela and the workers at the meat department. The food is better than other grocery stores in freshness and value. Usually it’s packed, but I like that it is one of the larger Northgates.

Was here one time and the experience was so-​so. It was at 1600 and I expect it to be busy, and it was. The parking though was plenty; I was able to park right in front of the market. Going in, packed of Amigos and Amigas. I was here to pick some ice cream for my people at work. So, I was thinking that it’s going to be an easy in and out situation since all the check-​out lanes were open and not too many long lines, unfortunately it wasn’t. It I could have been faster if the right procedures were in place. I know because I work in a customer service type of work, I know because I work in a place where speed is necessary.
Nevertheless, I was able to get my items.

The store itslelf is really nice. It is very decorated in a way that makes you feel like if you were in an antique mexican store. There are traditional props on the wall that help with the decoration.
The food is great there seems to be great quality control. Its a little more expensive than other stores but it goes toward the cleanlinessof the store. You can find anything mexican in this store even goat meat.

Clean super market w/​all traditional Mexican foods. I used to go to stator bro for my shopping but this place has super low produce prices.
Bakery with fresh baked goods, tortillas and a full on meat dept. There is also a small food court inside. Lots of choices

I never go here, but I was nearby and wanted to drop by the nearest supermarket to pick up some spinach. I thought it would take 5 minutes but I was wrong.
I grabbed the spinach and headed out. On my way out, I saw some cakes and got one for my little cousin since it was his birthday. The women at the bakery were friendly and quickly took care of me.
The checkout was a pain and took forever! Each lane only had one customer and 3 workers and yet, it took me 10 minutes to check out. I tried multiple lanes since the previous one was taking SO LONG even though all the groceries were bagged and the customer only needed to pay. What the heck. They were busy talking to each other. I seriously wanted to punch them in the face. 1 checkout person, 1 bagger, and 1 extra idiot worker in each lane. The baggers were even like hello… staring at the checkout workers to get to work when I, the customer, am standing there in front of them. HELLO?! I know it is in Mexican culture to take their time, but this is work. HELLO?! Can you imagine if there were 5 customers in each lane instead of 1?
Time is money, ppl. I was about to just leave my spinach and the cake there and walk out. Luckily for the store, I did not want to be a jerk.

I love shopping & eating there food here the best Carna Asada, tamales, oysters & more. Staff is ok except one bag people at reg. didn’t give me one of my items I purchased I got home like what the hell anyways.

This place is awesome! Walked out with fresh and ready to go dinner items and with the need to come back for more!
I was always intrigued about this supermarket and finally decided to give it a try. A try, meaning, I would only walk around see what it was all about. As I began to roam around the store, I was approached by a young gentleman, Sergio Arturo, who gladly gave me a run through of their specialties. I walked out with a great selection of items. Not one thing that I was disappointed about. These employees know their stuff and I’m glad I had someone like Sergio Arturo who can assist and recommend when needed.
My top 3 must haves:
–Carne Asada (Marinated into perfection, great for BBQ’S)
— Ceviche, ceviche, ceviche! (Fresh and ready to eat, you will want more)
— Bolillo with cheese and jalapeño! (Fresh baked bolillo, you won’t resist the smell, the cheese and jalapeño just add a plus to your taste buds).

Very good! In the kitchen area, everything is fresh from the salsa to the tortillas and cheese. The carnitas are really moist and delicious!
Next time, for catering, I think I would just get the premaid stuff and call it a day. The marinated meat I got was a bit thin and fell through the BBQ rack we had. o would pass on the marinated chicken. I thought the flavor was off…

Very interesting place full of spanish food

This market is always crowded; which is a good thing for customers to keep coming! Parking can be a bit of a hassle, but the shopping plaza is pretty big so you’ll find parking in the back. The produce are always fresh, but prices are a bit high compared ot other markets. There are usually a good amount of check-​out lanes so the lines wouldn’t be so bad.

What can I say about this market? Hmmm
— Scrumptious shrimp ceviche
— Awesome selection of Mexican beer
— Cheap chips and Mexican candies
— Mangoes drenched in Tajin and with whatever other fruits I desire muahaha
— Oh and lastly cheap and delicious bakery goods!
I love going shopping here when I’m craving random snacks or to buy munchies for movie nights.
