Supermarket

😐 A very nice store, but beware of prices. Hence only 3 stars. Your first clue is that most things have no price tag on them. (update 2023, many items now have prices, so thats good.) Second clue, you usually only see tourists there, seldom will you see locals shopping there. Some things are normal in... People often mention store, price, selection, items, Great, prices, good, products,

    A very nice store, but beware of prices. Hence only 3 stars. Your first clue is that most things have no price tag on them. (update 2023, many items now have prices, so thats good.) Second clue, you usually only see tourists there, seldom will you see locals shopping there. Some things are normal in price if they are made in Mexico, usually OK, Imported from the US expect to pay 2 to 3 times what it cost in the US. They have many things that can usually only be found in super markets like Walmart so handy for those things like 1/2 and 1/2 for coffee or cottage cheese. Large selection of yogurt. I once bought a large bottle of Climato juice and when I got home I noticed it cost $14.00 US. But a 6 pack of Hienekin beer was $7.50 kinda normal. Grapes 3 time normal, liqueur about the same as US. You gotta be carful since nothing has a price marked on it. If Oxxo has it ( a block away), go there. The very small market across the street has way better prices. There are many markets in the area, this is the nicest but also the most expensive.

    Friendly staff and a clean store. I don’t know why their brown sugar is so much more expensive than at the Old Town Grocery store just up the street but other things are better priced here and are only available at one store or the other. Do your homework if you’re budget conscious.

    Very dishonest experience. The day I got to PV went there to buy some basic products. Having no idea how much things cost I asked surprised whether paying 100+ pesos for yogurt was normal and was told that's the regular price. I even asked if that was the normal price in other local stores. I bought it and realized next day thats about 3x the regular price. I speak fluent Spanish, so definitely not a misscommunication, they flat out lied to my face.

    This is the Whole Foods of the neighborhood, with prices to match, but they mostly had everything I was looking for in a small store with excellent customer service.

    If you are looking for products that you are familiar with,that is your place. It is in easy walking distance from the romantic zone, I didn't feel like taking the bus to the supermarket. I found what I needed and then some. Amazing how much stuff they have cramped in there. It's a bit more pricy.

    Great selection of American products but I’ve been here several times and several products are expired :/ They even strategically place the price stickers over where expiration dates are. Purchase at your own risk! I’ve purchased two boxes of cereal here to only find bugs in them.

    This little place is great for those hard to find little things we miss from the states! Great I.P.A. selection and easy to get to location makes this my favorite little market in ZR!

    Most of the products were very old, many of them even expired months ago. People working there were rude.

    Well stocked store, with lots of hard to find items imported from the US. If you need grocery brands usually only available in the states, you may find it here. Prices are about the same as in the US, or slightly higher.

    Just about anything an expat is craving can be found here. Very tight to maneuver but a huge selection of grocery items from around the world.

    I have been a few times for convenience. Limited variety and a bit more expensive than a supermarket. Caters to expats needs. Lousy produce.

    Its definitely a very expensive shop. I had just purchased a set of dominoes at Woolworth for 99.10 pesos and saw the exact make and brand in this shop for 900 pesos.

    Nice little grocery, convenience store. It would be helpful if the prices of the items were posted. I would recommend asking for an itemized receipt.

    Please avoid shopping there. After I realized I paid 13 usd for yogurt, I asked for return but they don’t accept it. Price is doubled compare to USA. The majority items on the shelf doesn’t have price tag anyway. So u will surprise how expensive they are at check out.

    First time here tho I've passed it by many times. It's been around for a long time and longevity is a plus considering what restaurants have gone through in the last couple of years. We shared a Caprese salad which was pretty good, had a couple of glasses of Italian red, I had the salmon on the menu and my guest had the osso buco. I tasted his dish and the flavor was good but the meat was very different from any osso bucco I've had. But he liked it. The salmon with Caper sauce was a bit dry and very salty. Couldn't eat much of it - however the accompanying mixed vegetables were perfect! Service was fast and efficient. Overall, 3 1/2 stars.

    All the necessities including alcohol, beer and wine. The fruit and vegetables were available but not in abundance nor as fresh as one might expect. Nice, accommodating staff.

  • 4/5 Georges M. 11 months ago on Google
    Good selection of most things you'd expect in a supermarket but smaller. They have nice fresh produce, a good selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Clean and modern.

  • 5/5 Chris C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great local shop to pick up groceries in the romantic zone

  • 3/5 BB S. 1 year ago on Google
    Handy for groceries not available in Big Box Stores and tiendas.

    Great mercado when you need a "grocery (abarrotes) store"...great customer service, friendly staff, good product selection. Organic products, too!

  • 5/5 Sheri R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great grocery store! Carried any American item you were looking for.

  • 4/5 Dee B. 2 years ago on Google
    Small place. Tight aisles but they have some things that the other international shops don't. I feel like sometimes I have to visit all of them the same month.

  • 5/5 John W. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic shop in Old town. Lots of nice things. Great service. Good wine selection. Great fruit and vegetables.

  • 5/5 Sue J. 2 years ago on Google
    This little store has a lot of items travelers and part-timers have a yearning for, it's a little pricey but very handy.

  • 3/5 Bradley S. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of local and international items to offer that other groceries nearby don't stock however a premium is definitely being leveed for the location and convenience as this place careers to the tourist crowd more than expats, nomads, or locals.

  • 5/5 John P. 2 years ago on Google
    Convenient location and good variety of goods including fresh fruits. The store looks small from the exterior but well stocked inside.

    The prices are OUT OF CONTROL. Paid 28 USD for 6 pack of Modelo and 1 bag of chicharones.
