Mi Tierra Foods

When I was trying out cooking various recipes while living in the Berkeley/Albany area a number of years ago, I was having trouble finding some ingredients. Mi Tierra Foods is one of the places I went to look for a few of the items I could not find at the local supermarket. I was successful here in finding item(s) on my list, however not everything. The offerings in the bakery and meat sections were varied and well stocked.Checkout went without hiccup, and the workers were friendly. Parking in the area was mostly street parking. There was a person sitting out front asking for food, though only if it was vegan. Personally, that did not have a strong impact on my experience.

Expensive - over priced. Some items do not have a label or price or both such as their bakery products Ladies at the register are rude - don't say hello or thank you and roll their eyes Despite having a parking lot, it's still challenging to find a spot. Never going back. Adiós

A charming grocery store with the freshest produce, a delightful carniceria, and impressively large tortillas; each visit fills me with joy. The friendly and clean staff enhance the experience. Though there's only one disabled parking spot at the back

If you're looking for South American good from crisps, sweets, drink this is the place. I was looking for Harina P.A.N. to make arepas and saw this recommendation. Not only I found that but i found snacks and stuff that I'm able to find in Colombia. One of the best plantains to fry are here. There's a section by flags that let's you know what's what. There's Argentinian Yerba mate, Peruvian goods, and the more common Central American and Mexican products as well that are prevalent in the region. The shop seemed cleaned and well kept. There's a butcher shop and a place to order food to go. Service was direct. Nothing special. 51A, 72, 72M, 72R AC Transit all have easy access to the store. Downtown Berkeley would be the nearest BART station.

Love the grocery store, it's small but somehow still has everything I need! Great location, super fast to get in and out, and the cashiers and employees are so friendly. We love bringing my young kids (3yo, 1yo) here for quick errands for dinner because it's nearby, quick and easy, and the kids love the mariachi music and produce selection. There are like 3 small grocery stores on this block and this is our favorite by far. (The restaurant is just ok, very quick and easy for me since it's within walking distance, but not worth dinging the grocery store score!)

Pretty big selection of everything you might need for especially Mexican cuisine. I bought almost everything here for a red pork pozole. I didn't get the hominy because my friend already had some but I saw a few different varieties there. I was able to get everything with plenty of leftover for a party of 5 (probably could have fed 10) in under $40. Great prices as usual.As I'm writing this, I just made a dipped pozole sandwich from the leftovers and I'm telling you it's the most inspired sandwich I've had in the last year. You can get the rolls right of the register to make your own. I'm mad that I'm full. I would like another.

This is a convenient local Hispanic grocery store with a quick casual Mexican take out spot attached. I have shopped at the grocery store which has comparable prices for the area and has a wide selection of Hispanic groceries as well as other items. They also have a good selection of produce. I have also had tacos and a breakfast burrito from the take out restaurant and both were pretty solid. Not the best I've ever had but certainly not the worst. Very convenient, quick and friendly employees. Good neighborhood spot.

Wonderful neighborhood grocery store with all the Mexican staples. Produce is fresh and well priced. Folks are friendly. I recommend grabbing some fresh Oaxaca cheese (ask at the meat counter). I love having this place around and it's in my regular rotation of grocery stores - Berkeley bowl, KP Asian Market, and Mi Tierra.

Nice store but prices on certain items way too high. For instance, Thomas bagels are $6.50 a pack. Target sells them for $4.19.

Love that they have Colombian treats, as well as great deals on produce. Apparently the hot food is pretty good too, but I haven't had but one dish to know. Parking is tight depending on the time of day.
