Mi Rancho Supermarket

Mi favorito Mexicano supermercado con conchas - pan dulce! What's more? Fresh corn tortillas made in house that were still warm later in the day! And more? Very clean and spacious! Well lit, lots of people shopping, safe and secure, and well organized. Everyone was nice and congenial. It was also Cinco de Mayo! Regardless, I think the people there would have been just as nice and professional. In fact, someone in line helped point out an open register, and I said ah, thank you and moved over there. T'was a good environment and so I'm happy to return for many future purchases. Muy bien!

Want rude service and high prices? The come here if you do.Pastries are $1.75 each and are dry.we bought a bread and a churro and they both sucked.Green Onions were $2 for a small bunch and the taqueria where my coworker got a taco had dried out meat and rice.This is not a place that is winning us over.

Man, I don't know what happened to this location! The Redwood City location is a lot better. The staff just aren't really friendly. At first, I just thought it was a fluke, everyone has a bad day or maybe I was a little abrupt and put them off or something but it wasn't just my interactions, I've observed other patrons ask questions about where things are or at the prepared foods and have seen multiple staff treat other people pretty badly as well. Most recently, I asked the worker behind the deli a question about the salsa and her response, in Spanish, was "How am I supposed to know?". The other worker who saw the exchange looked at her with surprise and I just decided not to buy anything. I'm gonna stick to the Redwood City location when I'm over there or the Chavez on the other side of the freeway.

I want to call this spiffy-looking family-run market Chavez West because it reminds me of the more robust Mexican supermarket in Hayward (review: http://bit.ly/2pEYMO9). Recently expanded from a more traditional-looking market across the street and housed in a unique Art Deco-style building with its own parking lot, this true supermercado is centrally located in the Latin-flavored North B Street neighborhood of San Mateo. It made quite an impression on me with all the fresh produce out in front (photo: http://bit.ly/2pulnwG) and the expansive seafood and meat counter (photo: http://bit.ly/2QTAJXQ).Nonetheless, you can tell the merit of a mercado by how fresh and expansive their panaderia is (photo: http://bit.ly/2DqlF1b) and how many different types of tortillas they make (photo: http://bit.ly/2QXB37U). They score on both counts. Where they fall short is their smallish taqueria which didn't allow much room for seating (photo: http://bit.ly/2NBXn9q). I have to admit I liked Chavez's set-up of a diner inside the market and a separate panaderia next door. Presumably real estate restrictions didn't allow that here, but it's still a most worthwhile market to get your hard-to-find Mexican staples.RELATED - Interested in unique markets?

New Mi Rancho market!This is an expansion market of the existing one across the street. It's been in construction for over a year now and it's finally finished!It has it's own private parking lot, which is huge. Yay no more finding street parking!Inside, the market is air-conditioned. The floor is super clean. Everything is new and sparkling. The prices are still super-cheap: they are basically the same as the prices at the old Mi Rancho market across the street. Got a bag of potatoes: it is still $1.99 for a whole bag!There is a food court inside, that sells burritos. The prices are competitive with other mexican places in the area ($6.99). The only difference is, the place where they make the burritos is super clean! Including the staff who are all very well dressed. I feel like with the clean setting, they really should charge more (e.g. $7.99 for a burrito would not be unreasonable, given the higher quality).The veggies and fruits all look fresh and green. There is a meat section, which again, is super clean. There are big fridges selling cold soda etc. Nice.Will definitely come back again to this place.

3.5 starsMi Rancho has everything from a butcher's counter to a deli counter to produce to baked goods and more--everything you'd want from a Mexican supermarket! But they also have a prepared food section with grilled meats and stews sitting behind a glass counter, and they offer a simple menu of tacos, burritos, and plates. I got the shrimp taco, which was built on two mass-made corn tortillas along with beans, lettuce, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, and salsa, garnished with a lime wedge and a grilled jalapeno on the side. The shrimp filling had been grilled with onions and peppers, but since it had been premade and was sitting around for a while, didn't taste particularly fresh or flavorful. I also tried the asada plate, which came with a generous portion of freshly grilled steak, along with garnishes of pico de gallo, lettuce, sour cream, guacamole, and beans. While this was a great value for the portion size, the meat was chewy and unevenly cut, and the sides and garnishes were rather flavorless (even the guacamole had started to turn brown). Though the service here was friendly and accommodating, and the prices amazingly cheap, the food just didn't compare to what you'd find at a nice taqueria.

I like this store and they have good produce as well as specialty items. I am very disappointed in their lackadaisical social distancing during this pandemic. I won't be going back until after the pandemic is all cleared.

After the opening, this Mi Rancho has become the usual Mi Rancho. The produce are not as good any more. And prices are not as good as Dean's Produce.They do have some exotic fruits and veggies from El Salvador not available in other markets. And their tortilla chips are my husband's favorite. There are also a few exotic items that I only purchase in this supermarket.If you are an adventurous foodie and don't mind a little run-down market, this is what you might like to venture into.

Excellent service. Produce was super fresh. The deli has the best shrimp tacos Everyone was super friendly and service oriented.

Please stop being so r@cist. Not Hispanic/Latino and was treated badly. We were 2 shoppers together and got treated so badly we couldn't believe it. Entire store staff from stock associate to cashier refused to speak English to non-Hispanic/Latino people. If you don't speak English, just say it - don't act dumb. if you read some other reviews of this store, you will get the idea - total r@cists on a street in San Mateo, California, USA. B Street go figure. Get a life! Actually quite shocking. Even though the store has great products will never go back there again. Obviously OK with them.
