I like grabbing something quick to eat! the food is good the only issue I see is that the women that work there either had a bad day or they just dont like what they do! they move too slow.. and I guess a management really doesnt care because theyre like this everyday other than that all is good.

I ordered a tres leche cake for my son high school graduation, first the customer service is really un- professional. When I placed the order, the employee there was helpful. But when I went to pick up the cake, the employees all the sudden was not professional. I was next on line and she choose a random person, who isn’t in line, to help before me. I found out they were friends, as the customer left the employee and told the customer to call me on my cell phone. They were making comments about me because I was making complaint to the employee to please help me out because I was first and they were loud, so I can her what they are saying about me. The employee made a statement that she is a friend just to give her one minute because she is giving me some information. Didn’t know employees can take automatic breaks if there friends shows up to there workplace. Also I have purchased cakes from these people before, one time, my tres leche cake had the milk spoiled, only lasted one day, tasted horrible to, supposedly to be “fresh.” It was also refrigerated at home because they said it has to, still tasted horrible. This is the last time I order any cake from this establishment.

Unfortunately, this place has disappointed me again. The masa gave all family members diareah/Chorro and sever stomach pain. went back to store for refund and they gave me a very hard time. Did they want me to bring back the extra,Extra greasy tamales back? The pot i Cooked them in was full of Manteca. No more Amapola for me or my family. They need to take care of their customers. Ive been a customer for yrs at this location. Tamales all my life from Amapola in Compton . Dont go to Downey store, they dont apreciate their customers. Esta tienada no atiende bien a sus clientes de toda la vida!

Ive probably been fed Amapola tortillas since conception. Theres just nothing that compares. On the weekends tortillas run out fast. You have a better chance at finding them on a Wednesday afternoon for sure. This store is a convenience store, so be mindful that prices are higher than your regular grocery chains like Ralphs or Food4less.

I really like going to this store since I’m trying to step up my spanish game. I appreciate that being a regular there that they always speak Spanish with me because they know I’m trying to learn.I go at least 3 times a week since it’s so close to my place. I really like getting the fresh meat and the produce. Mostly I like the friendly and helpful staff.

I dont really like to shop at Hispanic markets but this time I needed milk. Came out with Mexican pastries and they were delicious. It may not seem like much but keeping the touch and flavors of central Mexicos bakeries is something you dont find just anywhere. Kudos on that.

Theres a long line for the tamale dough, but it is going to be worth the wait. Employees here are very generous, my family and additional family have been using this markets tamale dough for over 40 years, I tell you there is no other like it. Very well prepared, ready to add the second main ingredient for its delicious flavor.

My Cousin, Ms Jimenez, purchased Masa, 80 LBS and other ingredients, to make tamales at Christmas, the tamale masa was bad. Tamales ruined, shes was promised a full reimbursement, and never got it. She has called them several times, and they never return her calls. BAD BUSINESS PRACTICES

Tasty tamales for sale here at a reasonable price! And if you are fond of corn try a champurrado, drink to accompany your tamale! You wont even need a dessert there is chocolate inside the beverage!

Review №92

The cooked food here is some of the best from a supermarket/deli. The prices for regular items are high but not as bad as a few other markets in the area. When I come here it is mainly for the bakery or deli. Try the Tamales and the tacos de asada. They are pretty good. If you like Carnitas this place has some of the best.For lunch (or dinner) you can usually pick up a food plate which consists of rice, beans and a guisado Which is a meat or stew of the day so far Ive not tried anything that disappointed.If you have a sweet tooth and enjoy pasteles de 3 leches this place has a pretty good recipe for that too.

Definitely go for the champurrado y tamales now I’m picky on my champurrado but this one OMG! So rich and silky. The taste of authentic is definitely there . The tamales you should try the chile verde con pollo but also buy a Bolio and you make a torta tamale sounds weird but it makes aDifference in you view tamales!!! This is a must do !
