The most impressive Hispanic grocery store Ive ever seen. Fantastic produce selection and overall just huge selection of everything from meat to frozen foods. Store is clean, well lit and modern. In my experience, this store stands out well above others in its space, even among Southern California comparisons.

This is our “go-to” store for produce and meats. Sometimes prices are low and sometimes they are not. It’s conveniently close to where we live. It is usually clean which I do appreciate.

Bought a birthday cake, right before cutting it noticed mold in the strawberries went to return it an I felt like they did not care about the health hazard was told I could either have another one or a refund, not even a store credit or a sincere apology, don’t get me wrong they did apologize but felt they didn’t truly care

Found hard to find cuts of meat that I was looking for. A little pricey on some things but worth it to get exactly what I was looking for.

If youre looking for fruit and produce?, this is your store. I found a good prices on fresh meats, seasoned and unseasoned. They also have a small Deli in the back which offers fresh daily food. I think the store is very unique to our area and worth a look

8/25 at 5pm: I’d say you need to rethink who your front end manager is today. I’ve watched her be downright nasty, on the verge of verbally abusive to paying customers. More than once. One star for having what I needed. One star for the kind cashier. There’s plenty of supermercados. Maybe it’s time to find a new one.

Review №24

I had a really sad experience at this store. Arrived a 8:45 pm, the man picking up the carts as soon as he saw me, he left the carts RAN so fast to close the doors in my face. I know they close at 9:00 pm I was only going for milk and tortillas. It wasnt going to take me more than 5 mins inside. If you guys close at 8:45 pm maybe you should change your closing hours online, as this is considered False advertising. Very disappointed.

My parents have been coming to Cermak every year for their tres leches cakes for almost a decade, our birthday traditions wouldnt be the same without them. Whether its picking up snacks for a party, or reminiscing about the little girl who watched, fascinated by the Fresh Tortillas rolling hot out of the oven, Cermak is full of memories, still being served fresh every day.

Review №35

They had lots of great looking fruits and vegetables,and bakery items. The bakery stuff on the standing shelves was not very fresh. I bought donuts, kind if hard. Also the cupcakes said coffee flavored, but it didnt have a coffee flavor. Also there was a meat smell over in the meat department.

Nice grocery store, lots and lots of fruits and vegetables at very good prices compared to other stores. They also have a hot food section with fresh Mexican dishes and usually have tamles and chicharrones available fresh. They have a lot of Mexican bakery goods. They have fresh manteca which is hard to find in other places and I dont what a stewing chicken is but a friend told me it is one of the few places you can still get those. There is a liquor dept. And they sell tamale steamer pots in a wide variety of sizes.

Love this store! I shop here for veggies and meat. Quality is always superb compared to the other grocery stores in the area (like jewel, marianos, WF..etc) I wouldn’t recommend it for normal items as the prices are a little bit more. But I highly recommend for meat and veggies! And the store is always clean!!

Review №57

This is a good store with large selection of fresh produce and foods. They have a lot of International and ethnic stuff; I primarily noticed a lot of Mexican and Middle-Eastern stuff, which I like. The store is clean and prices are ok (some items are over-priced; so you need to pay attention to what you are buying there). The location of the store is good and accessible; I am not a fan of their parking lot as it is small and not much room for each car. Other than that, this is a good store that I encourage you to go explore and see if it fits your needs,,,,

This is the closest grocery store to our house. There is a lot of good selection and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and meat, and lots of different ethnic food options. But the service is usually slow and the prices are pretty much outrageous, so we only go there in emergency.

Review №78

Terrible service. Came in at 9:59 pm and they said they were closed when the sign says they close at 10:00 pm. Most stores will let you in before closing time and it is understood to hurry up (besides, there were at least 10 other customers still shopping). I was in and out in one minute, therefore, I was out by 10:00 pm.They are more worried about going home on time than serving a customer and making the company more money. The young man at the door had let me in but a young black girl and a middle age hispanic male (seemed to be a manager) was telling me they were closed. I said it is 9:59 pm and I would make it quick (and I did). I got my one item, thought about the horrible service, and decided to just put it back.Note, I spend upwards of $500 a month on food, but I will never return to this store. It was my first and last time there. I recommend you not shop at a place that has management who is more concerned about punching clocks than serving customers. How do you think they would treat your food?

Review №86

This store is very convenient. Near where we live. Fresh produce all the time at excellent priced. Cashiers move extremely fast. Down side, their meat prices have been going up ridiculous. The deli girls here are extremely rude, they dont make sure youre taken care of and everytime an employee comes they serve them and act like youre not even there. This has happened 3 times already. Totally disrespect.

Produce, produce, and more produce. Despite how it looks from outside, this store is spotless. The produce is fresh and plentiful. Im not much into meat but the butcher section seems to take up the entire back of the store. This store is a chefs dream come true! I go because they have giant cartons of guava juice for $2.
