Super clean and organized supermarket! They have everything you are looking for plus a hot food bar, juice bar and more! We got some hot food and it was so good for the price. I also loved their horchata. The team was also super helpful and kind! Definitely recommend visiting here.

I shopped at the Albertsons standing here before and wondered why their inventory was so low. Then it made sense when I drove through months later and it was closed. Drove through about a year later and... TADAH! Brand spankin' new Vallarta's! And I swore to come through one day.That one day finally arrived. I was with my mom (who's been here and raved about it) so I was kinda hyped about going. And it's NOT all hype. This place is huge and had everything a regular supermarket has (Albertsons, for example) and then lots of extras and areas: hot food, juicers, ham and cheese, tortilla section, salsas, desserts and bakery, creams, meat department (awesome selection), fresh produce, etc. They had 2 kinds of chicharron and Mom bought half pound of each and they were made fresh. It was still warm when we got to the car (we could wait to get home to try 'em.) The only little snag here were the workers behind the hot food section: a few of them saw us (and a few more) waiting to be helped but there was no acknowledgement whatsoever. The plus, however, is that they are mindful about keeping the store floors clean. There were hardworking people mopping continuously the whole time we were there.It was an impressive stop! If I lived closer, I'd probably make more stops. But there will be future ones, for sure.

11/16/24 FOUND IT!!! Epazote for my posole verde Where has this place been all my LIFE!? First off, bright & airy, spacious! Staff look happy to work here & it's very encouraging to patronize such a business. DO NOT miss the bakery department, on the other hand--I need to stay away. Their mazapan tres leches is so good! Sweetness level is just right & you can taste the nuttiness. I tasted it from the lady staff stationed by the department, giving samples.It is a HUGE market. It has a plethora of choices for prepared foods: guacamole, baked chicken, cut fruits, hot tamales, sushi, etc. I didn't get a chance to take a peek at the cafeteria style eatery that has a dining area, near the restrooms requiring a code to enter (fairly clean, a little bit of tagging from traviesos, not Vallarta's fault). I really must return to fully check this market!As soon as I found the epazote, I knew it was going to be great--and it WAS! The only complaint was the heart pounding sound the exit made when I walked towards it, I felt like a criminal about to get cuffed & thrown in jail. Kidding aside, this location is amazing, bells & whistles! The background music is upbeat & lively (Latin inspired of course). Each department is very well labeled & decorations are very tasteful. I really love this place. Self checkout is available but it looked packed so I made my way to the check stand & Sandra is all smiles, very welcoming. It is an all around great experience. Please see the photos of all the departments i visited. Parking is shared among other businesses (Dollar Tree, B of A, Flying Chopsticks, Western Dental, etc)Highly recommend Vallartas in Carson. Too bad it's far from me---but will make an exception because it's that great!*** Originally, I posted about 20+ photos that this Yelp APP did not upload, I had written thoughtful captions, I often wonder where they go?

Our first time being at a grocery market catered for the Latin community that isn't in Mexico and we were loving it!The market was super clean and had everything you could want. The price point was great as well. Unfortunately we had a flight to catch shortly afterwards so we couldn't indulge in all the goodness but we loaded up on candies and my husband did get a bit of ceviche to go. Check out their to go ceviche and fresh tortilla options in my posted pictures! Made us so envious. Jay had a hard time choosing. LOL

First time visiting this Vallarta - shiny and new with bright colors and lots of food, grab and go, and latin specialties.I went to pick up some concha sweet bread, and they had a dulce section nearby. Also had a floral area, deli section, and a small foodcourt area, I believe. Parking in a private lot and close to freeway! Enjoy!

Love, I mean love this market. I don't always find all of the items that I need but hands down the customer service is on point. Always greeted with a smile from the staff. There's always samples to taste. The fresh made ice cream and tamales are really good. Gotta mention the guacamole bar, get it how you want, spicy, extra onion, or salsa, if you crave it. They will do it..

Exciting and new! This supermarket has taken over the old Albertson's. I perused the aisles and you would find similar groceries and items as SoCal's Northgate, Superior Grocers, etc.I took a look at the bakery item and an enthusiastic young clerk kindly offered assistance right away.Made my way to the kitchen or "La Cocina." When I say they were busy on a Sunday afternoon, they were biz-zayy! Parking is crowded and tight.There is a designated point to order from the made-to-order menu. I opted for a simple bean and cheese burrito and 3 tacos plate w/beans and rice. The hubs is a fan of birria so that is what I chose. Miscommunication or disconnect between order taker and cooks took place because I did not want our tacos to have lengua (tongue) and raw onions. Star deductions for this. This was a to go order and there are some seating available for dining in.It was a 20 minute wait to receive our order. Some other customers waited patiently and I saw one woman (who probably was on her lunch break) expressed impatience with the food preparers.They were only open for a month so I am sure processes will improve.Didn't want to try the tacos but everything else from burrito, beans, and rice were solid.3 stars due to incorrect order and lengthy wait time.

Wow it is like the Disneyland of Hispanic foods in here! This store opened at the old Albertson's in Carson. Unlike Albertsons, the place is PACKED. Like plan not to have a parking spot or spend a few minutes trying to find parking. People were parking on the parking lot wall and making their own parking! Although this is considered a Hispanic market, they also offer regular grocery items. The produce and meats are very fresh! Reasonable prices! The highlight of this market is the fresh bars of food. They have ceviche, tortillas, cooked meats, tamales, baked goods, a juice bar, a paletta bar, a fresh guacamole made to order, salsas. Everything is very clean and labeled. Some of the prepared meats were too salty for my taste, and the parking was bad. My only two gripes.

Had to update again.. the agua frescas closed today before 7:30 pm because they were short staffed. Then we had dinner here, when I asked for the red salsa they said they only had green, that they ran out of red. How does that happen?? It's a grocery store! Then the girls serving the food completely skipped our order, seems like she doesn't know how to count we were order 166 and she was calling 174 saying she didn't pass our order !! We finish eating I then ask for the code for the bathroom and instead of the girl at the restaurant telling it to me she points at a paper saying it's right there. If that's how they are going to tell us then might as well put the code on the door. Now to grocery shop, hope we have a better experience when it comes to that part.
