Mi Rancho Supermarket

This is the place to get some meats and cheeses! Usually come here to get BBQ stuff or items for tostadas. Fair prices and the staff is always friendly… be prepared to at least know a few spanish words, that’s all.

I’ve been here several times. This is the best place to get Mexican sweet bread, its so soft and fresh, they make it there, usually by the afternoon it’s sold out. I went once in the morning at 8:00 am which is the time they open to get fresh bread. To my surprised they were not ready to open the bread was still getting put into the shelves, I waited around because this was the reason I came for. I waited for 30 minutes while the lady took her time with no hurry in mind that there were several people waithing for her to finish up with the bread.
Second when I went to pay there was no one to help me, luckily I had my phone was checking my email while I waited to someone to show up and ring me up. A person finally showed up after 5 minutes of me standing in line but no to help me but to help a person at the western union location the have there, then he told me I’m going to help them then i’ll help you. Um ok.
I went again on another time and twice they gave me hard frozen meat this is meat im planning to cook as soon as I get home. Keep in mind Frozen meat will weigh more than non-​frozen food, I had already picked up other groceries so I was whatever I don’t feel like going to another Mexican Grocery store. I proceed to ask the butcher for the my piece of meat and because I didn’t see it, if they had it and he answers very snarky yes its were the pork is and he walks with me to «where» they had it and didn’t find it. Then he pulled some out from the back, as he’s handing me my bag of meat I ask him how would I defrost it to cook it when I get home and hes like «I don’t know»
Seriously you’re a butcher how can you not know.
I give this place 2 starts because of the yummy bread, but customer service needs serious working on and educate the workers to be able to answer appropriate questions and getting a few more cashiers or scheduling them in correctly as this place is known for the bread and most Hispanics like having freshly done bread in the morning to go with coffee and hot chocolate.

Unleashing my Dad on a Mexican grocery store is like unleashing a kid in a candy store.
The man just can’t get enough when it comes to his south of the border sweets, savories, and low, low prices.
It appeared that I was the only non-​Spanish speaking person here, so while checking out with my single bag of Fuego flavored Takis I just kind did a bunch of hand motions while waving my card in the air in hopes that it would answer any of the questions the girl at the register had asked in not my native language. It seemed to work. Then I spent the next 10 years in the front of the store eating my now paid for Takis while my Dad went back and forth getting every kind of Mexican spice known to man for god only knows what.
I like that you can easily shave a few pesos off your grocery bill by shopping here, but I def think their produce section is a bit shady. Why do so many displays have fruit that looks like it’s been hacked open, gnawed on, and thrown back on display? And why was the whole array of clementines dripping with fuzzy mold? No bueno, Mi Rancho. No.Bueno.
On the other hand, I’m excited to have a place with fresh tortillas — something that’s eluded me since moving to the bay area and I def miss the abundance of fresh tortillas found in Chicago. Also pretty pumped to get some tres leches here… although I’m unsure of the quality just yet… rest assure that I will be back with an update.
They have a bakery and little restaurant inside and offer a variety of super affordable sides and simple Mexican staples, and as I already mentioned, Takis, which are the greatest sodium-​based snack food known to man. Despite the moldy and chewed up produce, I’ll be back for their other affordable specialties.

I used to shop a lot at this store, today was my last. I bought a box of Ice Cream from the freezer my favorite cookies n cream, I went home right away to watch a TV show and eat my freshly bought ice cream… I opened the box and noticed ice on top… Turned the box around and discovered the expiration date 06÷02÷12 !!!
After that shock and disappointment went back to the store… And got disappointed again.
To the manager and owner I rather take this step and report you to the health department than taking a 5,99 refund.

I see the back of the market pretty much every time I take the train north. In the area to see an auto shop and I walked over while my flat was being fixed. Large, clean, lots of Mexican groceries, prepared foods and a small taqueria. Oaxacan string cheese and chicharrones made for a good snack before I could get a proper lunch

Really good Mexican good inside the restaurant. I got chicken tacos with a side of rice and beans. Really good food. Plus the horchata was good not too sweet just how I like it. I recommend you trying their tacos. Yummy! And the server was really nice gave me free sour cream! I’ll be back amigo.

I’m raising my rating to 5 stars because of their consistency in good service… the place is always clean, the produce fresh and colorful, the bakery and prepared items fresh and always HELLA good, and the customer service is friendly and helpful.
Mi Rancho continues to deliver great customer service and lots of awesome produce! One of the main reasons I come here is the produce… always consistently fresh and colorful with a wide variety of things you won’t see at the big chains. Their in house made tortillas are great too. I love their bakery. Super fresh items and their pan dulce rocks… makes me fat, but still rocks!
Thanks again Mi Rancho!

I enjoy the wet burritos here, and any other dish I may order for my GF and me. I think since their shut down from Osha, they definitely cleaned up and changed their store/​taqueria, alot. They obviously want their customers to keep coming back for more business, and food. Especially the food. :-)

Amazing Mexican cafeteria hidden inside :) I am definitely stopping by.

Well can I start by saying I pulled into Mi Rancho’s parking lot only to see a nice yellow Ferrari Spyder parked… with it’s windows down.
OBVIOUSLY THE MEXICAN CARTEL IS STATIONED IN REDWOOD CITY!
I’m kidding of course, but I had to share. It was such an unexpected experience, much like my trip to Mi Rancho.
This place is VERY clean. Like one of the cleanest supermarkets I’ve ever been to. I agree that some things are pricey, the produce is hit or miss.
They had a very comprehensive meat/​deli section and bakery. They had mexican baked goods for 50 cent each! SUCH A DELICIOUS DEAL.
The best thing about this place is the plethora of mexican snacks, candies, and treats!
I think this place is worth a visit, wouldn’t come here for all of my grocery needs, but definitely every time I want some mexican cookies.

This place mostly sucks. The prices are very high on most items. Fresh vegetables and dairy products are VERY pricey compared to expensive supermarkets like Safeway. They do have some decent, but average salsa and meats. Unless you live close to this place and need to grab one or two items, its not worth it.
I just realized why their prices are so high — 80% of the people shopping here are illegal immigrants and welfare recipients (Working under the table) and do not pay for most of their own food — the taxpayers do, Via food Stamps/​EBT. Well if the government is paying for it, or your working under the table AND getting free food, who friggen cares what it costs huh?
The parking Sucks 4 – 7 PM ish.

Mi Rancho, where have you been all my life? All these years, I’ve been buying pre-​packaged guacamole from the chilled dairy area when I could have been getting freshly made stuff here sold by the pound. My only regret is not finding you sooner. My only gripe with you is you are so hidden off to the side and tucked behind Target.
The highlights of this store are 1) produce: fresh, reasonably prices and always well stocked 2) bakery: lots of variety of pastries, cakes and other desserts. I think you can also get a scoop of ice cream for $ 0.99 3) deli: freshly made guacamole, pico de gallo, salsas and more. They all taste good! The beauty is you can buy as much or as little as you need for taco night 4) meats/​butcher: the meat department is impressive. They offer a wide selection, much more than you would see at other supermarkets like safeway or lucky’s.
Wait…there’s more to rave about! There’s even a taqueria inside but I haven’t tried it yet. The store feels new, well organized and clean. The staff is friendly and most of the folks I’ve interacted with speak English. The location is great too, not too crowded and plenty of parking. Love shopping here!

fml, this place is great. grocery store/​fresh prepared food. this is a Mexican Whole food. Why did it take me so long to try this place. The people whowork here are great, they made me the best chicken salad that wasnt even on the menu.love.

Just came from here — used to love it not so much anymore here is the story —. I was carrying all our purchases for my mom which also happened to be a beer in the mix — my mom was paying for the items when the girl ask for my Id — I didn’t have it wansnt mine either — the girl said she needed my Id or else she couldn’t sell it to us. Im over 21 — I get that u need to check IDs but I was just standing there I wansnt paying for it I –was simply carrying the items for my mom– my mom was so insulted by this —. It was like they were saying because I’m Mexican and my mom is white that I had payed her in advance to buy the beer because I was underage. We left in enraged but decided to go back with my id to prove a point. We came back and I handed her my id that clearly showed I was 22 — which she still had a problem with — she had to «call» her manager and approve the purchase — I knew that she was just calling and talking shit in spanish and also reading shit off my Id to him which made me really uncomfortable because all u need is my birthday not anything else — u could see on the screen it just said enter the birthday. Last time my family comes here — we have spent a lot of money here but after this we cannot give money to some place so disrespectful. People are multiracial these days — people are adopted everyone doesnt necessarily have the same skin color as their parents

If you have been looking for that inexpensive Mexican supermarket with all the staples you can’t find elsewhere, then you have hit your spot! I can’t even list all the exciting finds here that aren’t available in the the typical supermarket.
As a fan of Pineapple and Apple soda, which you can usually only find in Latin America, I was excited to see these products in the states! Wow, there was also a great deal on the Latin American treats in glass cases. It was something like 4 for $ 2! Can’t beat those prices. It also seemed like the desserts were popular as people were stocking up.
There is also a «Mi Cocina» section which has some tasty meals made on location. I saw some delectable looking guacamole with lots of chunky tomatoes and spices.
There are also the typical milk and crackers at pretty decent prices.
This supermarket is very small and not the place to look for some of the higher quality items, but it absolutely perfect for Sunday Taco Night!

As an «ABC» (American Born Chinese), I am beginning to enjoy shopping at Latino (super) markets more than the Asian Markets.
Most of the Latino Markets are clean and have just about everything for both worlds. The prices are very affordable and competitive.
This market is clean and has an in-​house Panderia and taqueria inside the market. I also like the produce department. All the produce items are stocked nicely in a uniform system. The meat section has fresh uncooked meat. And there is a deli that has salads i.e. fresh salsa and guacamole by the pound.
I was just here to buy the Tres De leche cake for my dessert after my taco from Los Gemelos. For $ 1.99, the treat has chopped fruit, sweet milk and cream soaking up the crumbled cake. I shouldn’t be eating this, because the Latin Dessert is «way» too sweet. My treat:
I also bought a dozen of fresh pastries to take home for my daughter and I for the next few days. «Well to nobody’s surprise, the pastries lasted shorter than expected!» Bakery:
I like this market very much. My only concern is that there is a Target in the same plaza and the next building over. Some items this place has and vice versa.
But the staffs from each departments and cashiers were very friendly, unlike the employees from Target.

I was a little unsure about checking this location out. Would it be busy like the other location or would I be seeing tumble weeds in the parking lot. No tumble weeds here. The best part is plenty of parking space and this location is actually larger with a larger selection of everything.
I normally check the Ad online before heading over and now seem I only stop in when I visit my family in the Bay Area. The produce is alway fresh and don’t feel shy about asking them to stock up. They are always happy to bring out more. The meat has always been very great too. Also, if you didnt know, they have their special marinade (citrusy flavor) if you are looking for some great tasting Carne Asada. Just ask they marinade at no additional cost.

I went here for the first time today. Very clean, produce looks clean and was reasonably priced. Looked like they have a really good selection of meats as well.
But, the prices for shelf goods were outrageous. I skipped buying milk here because it was $ 4, and went to Target where I paid $ 2.89. Canned veggies were $ 1.79 at Mi Rancho, and $ 0.78 per can at Target.
I’ll go here again — still want to try the hot food. Just might skip the groceries next time.

We were running errands nearby, and decided to stop in and check out this market.
It’s pretty new, and IMMACULATE! They have a good selection of reasonably priced spices, a decent sized produce section, bakery and a fairly large meat department. My only real criticism of the store would be that a lot of the meat is previously frozen, and i prefer to buy fresh.
The staff was nice, and the checker thanked us profusely for coming in and walking through the whole store.
While this won’t be the place I’ll do the bulk of my shopping, it’s a great alternative for certain items.

Target actually ran out of bananas today giving me the perfect excuse to stroll over to the newly opened Mi Rancho Supermarket right next door. Good thing too as now I have discovered a third Mexican grocery I can frequent on a weekly basis.
This Mexican grocery is not a big as the Mi Pueblo in East Palo Alto but it seems to have a similar selection of stuff, plus a panaderia and takeout bar.
Prices of produce are comparable to Mi Pueblo and the quality seems to be about the same as well. Today, the big sale was chicken — chicken drumsticks for 49 cents a pound and boneless and skinless chicken breast for the unbelievably low price of $ 1.19 a pound. Could these be doorbuster opening day sale prices to bring the crowd in? Only time will tell…
This Mi Rancho is right next door to the Redwood City Target, so close that one could theoretically park in one parking lot and shop in the other. Check it out!
