Mercado El Rey

Cool little Mexican Market, well... not so little lol. They have just about everything you'll need. From different types of meat, to detergent, to Mexican candies, and fruits.The shop looks clean and well organized. The staff was nice, at least the cashiers were. We came here just to check the place out. It was recommended by a friend of ours. No complaints, it was a cool find here in Lake Forest. Bought a watermelon, and some Mexican candies lol.

Every time I come here the place keeps getting better and Better, you can buy a chicken with its head still on it. We usually get stuff to make tamales. The atmosphere is fun and festive.

Visited this place for the first time and bought over $100 of different type of meat, I rushed home to cook as I was expecting guests, to my dismay the meat was super smelly, I was hosting and had to make a decision fast so I had to change plans quickly and didn't have time to go back and just threw it away, what a total waste! I can't believe I went all the way there thinking I could find better meat than the local markets, big mistake, really upsetting and disappointing! It's incredible disgusting they sell old meat. Never again. In the other hand the cashier was very friendly.

I've been shopping at this store for over a year. Good produce, good selection, and decent prices. My favorite thing about this store is the carniceria. The variety of meats and the marinated meats is excellent. I've never gotten a bad cut of meat and the cleanliness is impeccable. Prices on their meats is much lower than other places and is of higher quality. Also, any purchase above $40 gets a free two liter soda.

I came here and order a fresh squeezed Orange juice and it was good it tasted good I recommended it they even filtered the juice

The soup in the back of the store is my fave. The only downside is even though they made the new mask mandate December 15, I still don't wear a mask and I prefer places who have freedom of choice. The store has someone monitoring as you walk in if you were in a mask or not. This is for vaccinated and unvaccinated but it doesn't really make sense because if you're vaccinated why do you wear a mask? It's like they want a mask one for life.

Small but well stocked for Mexican produce. The vegetable prices are reasonable, not excellent. (El dueño es árabe) raza compre A los negocios con dueños mexicanos para ayudarnos entre nosotros. Así como las otras razas. Si se puede! Los empleados aquí son muy amigables.

La peor carne que me han cobrado, llena de grasa, ganaron dinero extra vendiendo esta carne marina , diría yo grasa marinada. PeroDefinitivamente perdieron un cliente.The worst meat they sell me, full of fat, they earned extra money by selling this marine meat, I would say marinated fat. ButThey definitely lost a client.

Compré una libra de queso fresco "Los Altos" en esta tienda y cuando llegue a casa y me dispuse a servir el queso me di cuenta que traía gusanos. Llame a la tienda y la persona que contesto mi llamada me dijo que lo regrese y que trajera el recibo para cambiar el producto.Mejor llamo a la oficina de salubridad y lo reporto. Tengo mi recibo y foto del producto y gusanos. No recomiendo este lugar.

100% DO NOT RECOMMEND! Ordered some enchiladas from there and got the WORST FOOD POISONING of my life. I will never go back.
