La Popular Super Market

The place here is alright I guess, one day when we came to buy something my dad payed with a twenty dollar bill and the man in the register gave him back like five dollars when he actually had to give him back fifteen dollars he just said that he didn’t see what he gave him What a rip off !!

This review is for the hot food only.
I always get the carnitas tacos and they are wonderful! People will order 20 (or more) at a time so sometimes there is a bit of a wait. The breakfast burritos are usually pretty good too, especially with the salsa they put in the bag with it.
The service is always very friendly and welcoming. I’ve gotten big smiles every time I’ve gone there.
I’ve never gone there for the groceries, so I don’t know anything about the freshness or selection in the market section.

Their steak burritos are the bomb, best I’ve had anywhere, their salsa and guacamole are really good, their quesadilla’s are really good too, I love this place because I love mexican good and this place is the best all round

Tacos are really good. I got tacos after not eating the burrito I ordered. They put an ungodly amount of salt in the burritos that it’s inedible and the paying situation is a bit disorganized instead of just ordering and paying in one place. Customer service is fantastic and it’s pretty clean. There’s just way too many flies, I counted at least 5 inside and it’s hard to enjoy your epic street tacos. The tacos are the only thing that’s worth coming for, I’ve eaten street tacos around the world, Asia, Europe, central and South America, LA and San Diego, so believe me when I tell you that the tacos here are awesome. Be prepared to wait, they go by first come first serve, so infront of my 4 taco order there was a 38 ordered and it took forever. Everyone in my party finished eating and had to wait on me to get my order and eat. Just no burritos and bring a fly swatter!

Fantastic burritos and delicious salsa. You can choose your mean in the burrito, and I chose carnitas in the original burrito. They did not skimp on the meat, which was juicy and flavorful. The rice in the burrito was not heavy or greasy. My fiancé had the carnitas in a burrito banado (wet burrito), which was in a super-​tasty green sauce. Both burritos were very authentic.
This is a family-​run market/​restaurant, and the owners are very friendly and accomodating. This was our first time there, but definitely not our last!

Best Mexican food in town! This little hidden gem is Sacramento biggest secret! Everything is made fresh to order, I have tried their tacos, burritos, chimi changa, quesadilla, you name it they are the best at making it. and The staff is beyond friendly!

I love their green salsa and street tacos. Burritos are good too. Good customer service. I go here at least once a week.

We were looking everywhere for tamales and we found them here. They were very helpful with getting our order of 3 dozen made quickly for us. They also have tons of food fresh and ready so we picked up some shrimp ceviche.

Great burritos, & Tacos! The meat is really good, great for barbecue’s. Over all a great carneceria.

I had high hopes for this place when it first opened on this side of town instead of driving to the other side of town for Mexican ingredients and the taqueria. The produce isn’t the freshest and the store overall seems messy and disorganized. The taqueria seems to use old meat. Today was the final day I will ever visit this location. After eating here several times and complacent that I didn’t have to drive so far I am finally over it and it’s dry jerky meat.
Just the truth unfortunately.

These guys know what they are doing when it comes to cooking meats. This review is for the their Carnitas which we were thrilled with. Crispy and crunchy, yet tender and moist, in that great way that really good Carnitas are. They offer a wide variety of other options as well. I have heard great things about the street tacos as well. That will be the next thing we try, but one thing we know we can count on is their Carnitas!

This place is the only spot I can say is comparable to the tacos in the Bay Area! I love this joint! The meat market is well priced and the beans and rice are a hit in my house. I recommend this place to everyone I know!

If you are craving some bomb street tacos, this is your spot! They are made right out front of the store and are sooo good! Carne asada, chicken or pork tacos with all the fixings. If you haven’t tried them, you should! Also their carne asada is good to BBQ at home to make your own tacos.

This is my spot whenever I need some thin sliced marinated steak for a BBQ. The meat is high quality, reasonably priced, and their marinade is amazing! I haven’t tried their hot food yet but I’m definitely tempted. definitely the best carniceria within a reasonable distance from my house.
They have all the mexican grocery staples including sweet breads, a full carniceria (including pre mixed, ready to cook steak and chicken fajita mix thats nearly half the price of the stuff at the raleys butcher on Folsom blvd), fresh tortillas, and an almost comically huge selection of pre paid calling cards.

I’ve only been here a couple of times … the items in the store seem fresh and well stocked. It’s a little market — the size of a convenient store. They have fresh vegetables, canned goods and a butcher/​fresh meat. I recently purchased their shrimp ceviche … fresh, with large shrimp. It was very good and also purchased their homemade chips. I thought for sure their hot food would be good, so went back yesterday and purchased 3 steak burritos … disappointment is all we can say! The meat tasted like it was marinated in soy sauce. It was salty and had an unexpected flavor. We love Mexican food but this was not very good at all. The burritos were on the smallish side considering the cost ($ 5+ each for the «super»). The person who made the burritos didn’t even even out the rice, cheese, etc so everything was at the bottom and meat from top to middle only. I was craving good Mexican food and got this. I didn’t finish my meal it was so bad.
So, if you are looking for ceviche and chips, this is the place. For groceries, it may be the place too, but I’d pass on the other hot items on the menu.

I live directly behind this bodega, so I go there at least two to three times per week.
The staff couldn’t be more nice or friendly! Anna usually makes my beloved carne asada burritos in the little kitchen. I have no idea what they do to their carne asada to make it so addictive, but I now crave it on a regular basis. Regular burrito is $ 4.99 and I usually can’t eat the whole thing.
One night I took my class for my grad studies here to turn them on to it. There was some sort of salsa they didn’t sell but had on the counter that my professor went nuts for. The owner said if he liked it so much he’d order more. Two weeks later, there it was on the shelf. They really do take customer feedback seriously. And all of those guys in my class now go there almost as regularly as I do. Wear stretchy pants.

When I have my craving for Mexican food and do not want to travel far, this is the place that i go to. It’s cheap and it’s not bad. Whenever I order food here, I usually get their burritos and sometimes their tacos. They recently started cooking their tacos outside now which I thought was pretty cool. I tried it the other day was it was pretty delicious. I guess $ 1.50 is overpriced for your typical taco but they did put a lot of meat in it. As for their tacos, it’s kind of a hit-​and-​miss. On some days they’re good but some days, they’re just a tad bit too salty.
It’s a nice supermarket, if I were to add. It had a sit down area where you can watch tv while you eat or wait for your order. The workers are also very nice. The man at the cash register always responds with a friendly «you’re welcome».
Overall, it’s really not a bad place at all. I would definitely come here if I wanted ceviche or if I wanted to purchase carne asada or even buy food to go. It’s very convenient if one lives around the Rosemont area.

This grocery store served me the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. That food counter is true a Rosemont gem. (It’s no wonder the Mexican restaurant across the street went under!) I used to be super pissed that my favorite Korean grocery store turned into a Mexican grocery store. What about my kim chi! After I had that first burrito I was completely over my anger. I’ve been back tons of times and have to credit them for curing many a fierce hang over. Oh and while you wait for your food you can stare at the crazy huge butcher counter. Those short ribs are great for summer bbq’n.
Few weeks ago I went in for a special *secret* guacamole ingredient. I must have had my head on backwards because I couldn’t even identify an avocado that day. I don’t speak any Spanish so there was also a tiny language barrier. The patient man took my list and guided me around the store, showing me where each item was. We did struggle over the word «radish» but he was definitely a master at communicating excellent customer service. I left happy with a great deal on avocados and tips on using up the rest of that special ingredient.

Taco stand!
They started a taco stand every fri, sat, sun 5 – 11 outside the store. I have to say one of the best tacos I’ve had in Sacramento!.. A must try.

For cheap meats and cheese go here. We bought some sirloin steak that we barbecued that night which turned out amazing! They had a special on ground beef which was a great deal, and they also have some other special meats you don’t find at places like safeway.
We also got some queso fresco, la famosa has the best queso fresco!
The people are nice, it helps if you speak spanish too. They never think I speak spanish when I go there so I like to see their reaction when I start talking ha!
Anyways, its your typical carniceria, nothing extremely special other than it’s cheap and convenient when we’re in the area.
