Vista Central Market

SoooOverall the American grocery items are overpriced. I wouldn't shop here regularly, but comes in handy for a few items and of course any Latino seasonings/ingredients for any meal you're preparing. They have snacks or dulces (sweets/candy) too. The produce is priced fairly and the market areas are reasonable - bakery, butcher, tacos, etc. I've yet to try their tamales. Gotta do that! Anyone try them? I here Valentine's Bakery has good ones. Not sure though.Recently I've had some donuts here. They were tasty but I normally liked them warm and it's no donut shop. The pastries and customer cake orders are great (price and taste). I recently ordered some "Frozen" cupcakes for my daughter's class on her birthday and they nailed my vision. They had some "Frozen" candles too which we're pretty convenient. You pay a small deposit when ordering and then pick up and pay the remaining balance. My oldest teen (a cupcake connoisseur of sorts) said they were really good ones. So that's a win! I typically order my cakes from Albertsons, but may make the switch for any designs. They have self-check out now which is cool. Must pay on cake orders through the cashier at a checkout lane though. I'll be back...if not for anything else, for cake hehe. I have 5 blessings, so we're always celebrating a birthday it seems hehe.They get busier in the evening it seems.

lady's who cook your food are very avoidant, all items being up priced by ridiculous amounts, bought a mccormick lime mayonnaise which is $4.68 at walmart and $10 here. it's depressing seeing local markets become so expensive i try supporting "local" and end up spending half my food stamps on a dozen necessities

Although I have shopped for many things here this review will be specifically about the hot Deli section. This was the last straw for me. In the past I have had instances with the food being bad or tasting off. This time we bought some charro beans and they were spoiled. The date said it was packaged that day and the expiration date was days away. We'll they were sour. After the first bite I knew they were no good. They tasted soury. My bf had thrown the receipt but went to return them and was offered store credit. It's happened with menudo in the past and picadillo too. I wonder if they reheat left over food or aren't careful with storage. If I were the health debt I'd go take a look to see what's going on.

We moved to El Paso right before the New Year and have traditionally 'played it safe' while grocery shopping. Walmart, Target, Sprouts, the stores we are used to seeing in various states. These week we decided to stop into Vista just to check it out and left with a hand basket full of stuff. I'm almost certain we may not buy meat or fresh produce from anywhere else on a regular basis the rest of the time we live here. From fresh tortillas, to King Crab legs; massive steaks to hot or cold queso; giant chilies, large jalapeños, and a great selection of other fruits and vegetables. Do yourself a favor, if you have thought about stopping in before you've already wasted too much time; do it!

Best store ever! They have everything! Fast service and great selection. Love this store!

Avoid this place on the weekends! It's horribly busy.. You will get hit by incoming cart traffic!! Beware of the people who drive their carts so fast, they run into you on those dangerous curves. Oh and no one says sorry. People also come here thinking this is some type of meetup area and decide to talk right in the middle of where your supposed to walk. You literally have to yell out "EXCUSE ME" because they are so deep in their conversations. Then they look at you like your the rude one. The checkout lines have always been ridiculously long and only like three lanes seem to only be open when I've come in. Heck even the express lane is long! I always come for one or two things so having to wait more then 10mins for that is kinda cray. This place is pretty big though and it has all your Hispanic food necessities. There is also a food area and food court inside that always smells good! There are always employees stocking up shelves and produce and the store itself is pretty clean.*wear steel toed boots, never flip flops to prevent your toes from being ran over!

Queso good. Tortillas good. Guacamole good. Everything good. Yummm yum what did they say about the food? Yumm

This store has everything! So many great deals and I love buying veggies from this store! the only issue is currently their bakery puts out expired cakes and I don't really like that. I came in on 11/17 and found tres leches cakes that expired on 11/09. The rest of the store is great, I love buying my wife flowers from here :)

Always running out of product on Ad Items in the Meat Market on Central

The store finally got rid of all the old folks behind the food, deli and meat section that couldn't communicate well due to language barrier. It is a great convenient store nevertheless: clean, well-organized and not so crowded now that Albertson is down the street. There's only one suggestion though, the meat section should only use herb & spices and Worchester sauce to marinate the meat. Whatever is that they use, I have to rinse off and re-season the meat.
