Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one in the reviews who was caught off guard by the prices lol - and honestly I'd give this place 5 stars if their stuff was just a little cheaper. However, as a homesick cali girl looking for spices to make Al pastor marinade, this place made me soooo happy and feel like there was a piece of home in Seattle which is very lacking in good mexican food. I haven't tried many of their hot foods and their tamales were ok but mexican coke, chiles, and plenty of snacks were enough to make me smile inside. Their chiles also seemed way better and more fresh than the dried, dusty chiles in American markets- if the markets carried them. Would probably come back to stock on stuff if I needed ingredients to do more Mexican cooking. Even if the prices are a bit high. The people behind the counter were also nice and friendly even though I spoke English.

Ordered the pork carnitas and was very excited for them but was very disappointed when they tasted super stale as well as them having a very bad cardboard taste. They're definitely frozen.

I am going to have to return for some of the food, but the groceries are great. So much variety in a relatively small space. Clean. Helpful. The only reason I am taking off one star is the meat didn't look great. Big selection, but I question the quality and freshness. And that's too bad. With some improvement at the meat counter, this could easily be five stars.

Quality and variety of products is good!But prices are high, and unfortunately none of the prices are visible to customers, you only find out when at the cashier and there is no receipt unless you ask for it, and even if you get a receipt there is no description of the items purchased. It just say "item 1" $X, item 2 $Y.Seems funny business!!!

This market has terrible food and terrible service. The food in the case looks rotton, no gloves when handling and the staff working there is unkind and unhelpful.

The employee was rude didn't look at us and spoke in Spanish. Followed by speaking in English, "I guess I have to translate for you, What can I get you". The foul attitude has lost my business permanently. Went to another Mexican grocer in Phinney Ridge. A little communication effort but the customer service was awesome without attitude and not condescending.

Somewhere between a 4 and 5. Closer to 4 because of the prices.You are getting homemade, fresh, and really good quality foods. I bought two salsa, the Roja and Verde. Both are good and spicy 4/5. Your level may vary; my fondness for spice is pretty high compared to most people. Like a lot of #shopsmall markets, it's a treasure hunt. Lots of great items, but they are squirreled away throughout the store. It gives you a reason to talk with the owners, who are happy to help and share some interesting stories.There is a good selection of carryout from the hot food counter. I didn't try any this time, and I will be back for the Chile Rellenos. The prices are a bit high for groceries but the fresh items keep me coming back.

Wonderful little store and delicious hot food. But the best part is the exceptional service that the owner and his wife provided me. When my UPS package was rerouted there when the driver was unable to get into my building, called me personally to let me know that it had arrived. I was able to get my package before Christmas and also saved me the multiple trips as UPS stopped providing updates. They did not have to do this, but this showed how much they care about their customers. I am absolutely grateful.
