Good place to shop for a meal or eat a casual meal for that manner. Butcher counter, fresh produce and pastries plus many Mexican and Latin American products for your pantry.

I come to this market every time I’m in town to visit my family. The produce, meat, and poultry is always fresh and fairly priced. They have a small restaurant in the back that has AMAZING authentic food. The staff is always kind and helpful with both Spanish and English speaking employees handy. The prices are unbeatable!

Been craving good authentic Mexican food and figured this place may know how to make actual Mexican food not this stuff they call Mexican out here in TN. I was right! This place is just what I would have expected from some of the finest Mexican markets in So-Cal. Not only do they have every Mexican style ingredient you can think of they have a little food counter in the back like most Mexican markets in So-Cal and it was as good as some of the best I use to go to. I just wish I could find a sit-down restaurant with this authentic style of Mexican food. But if I have to choose food over environment, this place wins every time!

This is my go to location for real Mexican groceries. It's big it's clean and they have a huge selection of the things your looking for. It's missing a star because even though they are nice to me they give me the look like what are you doing here except the guys that work in the deli area. This is upsetting because I love this store more than the ones on bradyville pike. Hopefully I can learn some Spanish and Start speaking to them and maybe they can start looking at gringos different.
