Pretty good market. A lot of food from all over Latin America including blood sausage. Staff is friendly and everything is pretty straight forward. They have a few items you really can't find at most markets so it's worth. Prices is fair and parking is decent overall.

Chorizo, arepas, Aguardiente Antioqueño, Jet, Hit, papitas de pollo, choco ramo... we found it all here. Never mind the high price cuz we know it's super hard to get some of these things in the US. The staff are all helpful, the store is laid out well and organized by country which made our trip way easier. The store was also clean and smelled good, local food vendors were outside selling home cooked empanadas, arepas and lechona. Glad to have stumbled across such a well stocked store even if it set us back $250, lol.

Food wise, this store has aisles and aisles of Latino heritage products from various countries. There's products from Peru, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico, and so much more As a chef, this place is ingredient heaven I also tried the chicharron that's available to purchase by the pound. I was full from lunch, but whenever there's pork chicharron, I have to try it. Truth be told, I was disappointed. This chicharron was very dry and didn't have the crispiest skin, if that makes sense. The feel.of the store very alive with an array ethnic backgrounds doing their shopping. I thought this provided a unique vibe. My girlfriend is Peruvian, so we went for some Peruvian ingredients, which were quite bountiful. I'm still learning what ingredients are used in Peruvian cooking, so it's always an educational experience for me to look through the aisles of dry goods. This store also has a freezer section for hard to find imported items. So, if there's something specific to your needs, this might be the place for you.

Ni los propios dueños del súper saben cómo abordar personas con animales de servicio. Piensan que todos los perros son mascotas. No se puede esperar más del demás personal. La cajera y la dueña son "primitivos" para verificar un animal de servicio; de seguro no sabían que existen! tienen a los animales como asquerosos en esa tienda de indo c u mentados. Aprendan a conocer las leyes! Aprendan a Costco, walmart, target a ser considerados y preguntar primero sin denigrar con sus protocolos de limpieza!

Really good supermarket. The parking is pretty good. I've never had an issue with parking.They have a variety of groceries for different cultures such as Peruvian food & more! I'm Mexican and I can find many of the items or spices I'm looking for here. They also have a bakery in here so if you're looking for pan dulce, they got you. But the MAIN REASON WHY I love coming here because their carnitas are fire!! I love getting their costillas as well here! I usually get their costillas and enjoy them with a good salsa, fresh tortillas and a slice of queso fresco. They used to sell gorditas de carnitas but due to covid I'm not sure if they were closed. But i hope at some point they bring them back!

Love this market! Been coming here since I was little with my parents and now that I'm older this is where I get all my Peruvian products and more! Sad that they took away the bakery portion.

So very thankful Chaparral exists. As a Peruvian family, we need our ingredients and specialty items and they seem to have it all. Not only do they have a wide selection of Peruvian items, but also treats from all over Central and South America. This store is super organized by country and clean. It's a real joy visiting every time. They even have our favorite Cusquena beer and Pisco! We happily drive from Santa Cruz to get the goods!

If you want expired food go here please check your dates ! I got some food that was almost one year Expired lady cashier said it was not when it was 2020. I went to school my whole life I know my dates. Another thing after we left they started talking shit about us instead of working and doing a good job ! I didn't want my money I just wanted them to be more careful was giving this food to my one year old thank god I checked the date. Another thing I talked to the manager but he didn't do anything. I will be talking to Santa Clara county that you guys sell expired things ! Thank you

I go to Chapparal whenever I want my Latin foods and I must say they are handling the Covid crisis nicely! They don't have any real system of " social distancing " or mandating sanitation because people are doing it ON THEIR OWN here. Chapparal Super has sanitary wipes as you walk into the store for you to clean your hands with and it seems what to do to protect themselves from Covid because they all have their masks, they keep themselves 6 ft apart from you, and it's clean as possible given the circumstances. They had the Nicaraguan soda I was looking for. The only thing I didn't have was enough money to buy as many as I wanted cos they had a BOATLOAD this time around. I can't even get a plane ticket to Managua right now but they have Nicaraguan soda that you can't readily get anywhere else in the Bay Area? Just one of those things that make you think, I guess ;) Keep doing what you're doing, Chapparal. I am and will always be a HUGE fan!
