We were visiting our son and family in Reno and wanted to bring home dinner to them. We got the carnitas pre-made along with rice, corn tortillas and some of the salsas. It was so good. We are going to make this a regular stop every time we visit. Want to try the tamales next time. Everyone in the store was super nice. I do not speak Spanish and they were very accommodating.

I love this market. It's clean and organized and really stands out in this strip mall. They have the best carniceria in sparks with tons of options. The butchers are always willing to make suggestions or make different cuts if possible. I often get pork belly here. I definitely want to try their restaurant soon! It looks great.

The bakers and the butchers here keep me coming back for more! First off, what an exceptional meat market and butcher shop! This place always impresses me with their selection of beef, pork, chicken and seafood. They have everything you expect to see at great prices and some more unique and off cuts as well. Bonus: If you need something specific, they're happy to make that happen too! My mission was to secure some beef, chicken and pork belly that would marinate and cook quickly, and a dessert to celebrate my birthday with at home. From the meat case I picked up thinly sliced chicken breast (filete) and pork belly which I had sliced a bit thinner to help it cook on the grill. I also got rancherra, aka beef flap meat aka my secret weapon for summertime entertainment, a magical and insanely tender piece of meat that soaks up flavor super fast and is great for any type of grilled preparation. From the bakers I chose a delicious sugar twist, chocolate dipped elephant ear, and a piece of tres leches cake because it was my birthday after all. Everything was delicious as always. So much fun picking out various pastries and cookies from the fresh daily case. On the way out I almost ordered some carnitas, which I think are a weekend special. I love that they offer parts from the whole pig and it's hard to pass up, but wasn't in the cards for this visit. Next time!

I have been here three times before posting this review. The selection is great and the food is really good. They have items I have never found before. It's clean and the staff is friendly. I'm happy to have this business in Sparks. I'm excited to be able to take something home that is authentic and tasty without all the prep. too. The meats for tacos , tamales and ceviche are favorites.

This is a grocery store/ bakery/ meat market. They have everything, even a small produce section. I come here for lunch sometimes or to buy something that's already cooked, to add to my dinner menu. For example, spanish rice, ceviche, salsa, or guacamole. If I come here for lunch I usually buy some street tacos. They offered agua frescas a couple different types daily, because they change flavors throughout the week. They sell more items on the menu like; burritos and tortas. You can also buy tamales that you can warm up at home.On the market side they sell raw meat, raw fish, dairy and other grocery store items. So far everyone I've encountered there is really nice. They speak English and Spanish. This place is in the same parking lot Ross, so there is plenty of parking onsite available. I like coming here because it's super convenient in my area and some of the items here I haven't found anywhere else nearby. I recommend you come to check this place out if you're in the area.

New Taco Tuesday try. We were here based on Yelp recommendations and they didn't let us down. Before the food comments the market was very nice as well though we only bought the chicharrones. Great selection of fresh meats, salsas and dry goods. Very clean. We ordered a couple of asada tacos, birria quesadilla and a replenish. Tacos were good - not out of this world but good. The quesadilla was expensive and not really worth it. Flavor was good but not for the additional price. Telli I was the star of the night, great crust, cheese combo and flavor. Really nice. All in all a very good meal, just not over the top. Will definitely go here for fresh meat, products in the future and probably get food to go again.

I saw another Yelper's review regarding this grocery store's tacos and I've been meaning to try it so I picked a few tacos for dinner to share with my family. The store was packed and the dining area of the carneciria was busy. The staff were all very friendly, there was a bit of a wait for the food but it's to be expected since there were so many people and all the food was made to order. I brought home a taco-tasting feast for the family to enjoy and enjoy it, they did. We got some carnitas, al pastor, asada, birria and tripa. Everything was delicious but I have to admit I loved their asada the best and the tripa which was really flavorful and tender, second best.

Want a quick breakfast? Got $7.00 in your pocket? These two incredible tasting chorizo empanadas were under seven dollars. Packed full of meat, so tasty. They come with a creama dressing and salad. Yes, you can get OMG for under ten bucks. Shame on you for hitting a chain.

Update: My youngest and I met hubbs for lunch yesterday here since our previous visit was so good! They offer great bang for your buck, but the food was a huge let down this time around! Our tacos were bland and hubby said his burrito was mostly pico de gallo and the meat was almost non existent compared to the ratio of filler. Service was slow and we received our food after the two other people behind us. The restaurant side wasn't swamped, so that was disappointing! The bakery redeemed this visit. The Agua de Piña was amazing and so refreshing on this hot day!

Our group went for lunch, and we were all pleasantly surprised. The tortas are large and super tasty. The fish tacos are not San Felipe style. They have their own style, and it is delicious. The prices are good. I should have asked about a paper menu. The digital one skips through the specials and other items in about 3 seconds.The store is clean, well stocked, and reasonable. The carniceria has everything. The staff is bilingual and very nice.
