Superior Grocers

Disgusting! I bought a jar of peanut butter only to find that someone opened it and stuck thier finger in. Always check your products! Never shopping here again! Zero stars

I’m giving this store one star for accusing me of trying to steal a piece of bread. I understand this store has a lot of thieving due to the location. That being said, don’t assume because you see a person of a certain race of trying to steal a piece of bread that has been sitting out since yesterday. It’s not even worth stealing, especially when I spend money in this store. Superior, you can have your hard bread and terrible security.

This market is located near a ton of thrift stores. I love it.
Place is fairly clean, great deals every week. It can get really busy the lines can get long, because they only open up about 3 cashiers when there’s like 8 registers. The veggies are always fresh, and expect nothing less. I just wish it was a little more clean and not always so COLD inside.

Superior has kept up with the times, that’s for sure! I came here with Mom looking for fresh bolillos (sandwich rolls) and cheese. Even at past 8, there are people at the deli counter and tons of pastries made earlier in the day. It’s a happy combination of Mexican favorites and international goods that are readily found all over the 626.
Fruits, vegetables, chiles, and spices are some of the best deals I’ve seen. A large parking lot accommodates most as well as the the updated set up allows a for a constant flow of frequenters, moms, and party boys looking to stock up on food and drinks. I like Superior — always have — and I’m glad that things seem even a little better than many years ago.

Vegetables are cheap. lot of options… pastry here is very cheap and tasty as well. Only thing I don’t like here is meat… ample parking space…

My experience… bad…felt like I was at walmart. at least 25 people waiting and two check outs open… waited in line for 30 minutes for three items… won’t come back here again…

This is a huge store, but somewhat a disappointment.
The good:
–Wide isles
–relatively clean
–nice little middle eastern foods section
Not so good:
–The produce wasn’t the greatest in quality or price
–no in-​house tortillaria

It’s a big place. They have everything and they have a purse store inside. It’s way too expensive. But the workers inside are friendly & they have the selection of alcohol you will like. That’s all I came in for.

My husband and I went to purchase some sweet bread from this store and an associate by the name of Bernadette was just in a bad mood or we do not know why she was slamming things everywhere, my husband clearly said excuse me in Spanish «disculpe» to the associate and she clearly knew we were talking to her and she ignored us right in our face, not just a whatever ignore, she had this attitude that should never be in customer service. Seriously if she doesn’t like working there then get out! Such a horrible experience.

This Superior is always clean, which is a good thing for discount grocers. I like how they are starting to add bulk foods and spices in the little barrels, kind of like WinCo and Sprouts and Henry’s have. Produce is always hit and miss here. Sometimes they have a lot of it, and sometimes they get cleaned out before you get a chance to get to the good stuff, especially when it’s on special. Big plus for me is that they always seem to have this garlic teriyaki soy sauce that no one else ever seems to have! Plus, they carry Goya products, which is outstanding!

Awesome cake! At awesome price! 12.99 on a strawberry filled cake! Never a let down here! Good for party’s not packed inside! Good deals on all there stuff– would recommend this place if your on a budget and looking to make ends meet:-) enjoy

Poor selection of cereal, mostly Highly Sugared cereal, Has a full service bakery and you can get fried chicken to go in large quantities. They take Credit cards. One draw back is you have to bag your own groceries in plastic bags (bring your own bags).
Parking lot all ways full.
Superior has opened a store in North Pomona on Foothill Blvd (within a mile of 6 to 7 Food Stores)

Great prices however goods are not likely to last the whole week. Amazing for bargain fresh food and buying stuff u need for a party the same day. Love shopping here for feeding the masses. I get so much for under $ 20. Just shop carefully

One of my favorite Mexican markets in the area! Their bakery inside makes fresh bread and bomb tres leches cake all at a fair price. On top of that, they also have fresh meats, fish and even cheese! There is cereal, sandwich bread, rice, veggies and fruits as well. My latest visit consisted of me searching for walnuts and shredded coconut to make a lent dessert called capirotada. I loved the fact that they have self serve dispensers for those things as well as trail mix. I also found the piloncillo (sugar cane cubes) near by and later that night proceeded to make my ‘master piece’ haha. The market is huge and sort of organized. You can find a few aisles with cleaning supplies as well but some of the items are a bit over priced compared to other markets. I come here strictly for the fresh fruits, veggies, and baked goodies. Everything is clean, the aisles are big and the workers are pretty helpful as well as friendly. As most markets, the lines can tend to be a bit long but they move pretty fast. On your way out there is someone most of the time near the exit selling churros and aguas frescas (horchata, fruit water drinks). The parking lot is a mess though. So crowded and in some places pretty dark so be aware of your surroundings when walking out at night. Also you might find the tameles sellers around the lot near the end of the year holidays.
**self bagging– so make sure you bag your items and don’t forget to make sure you’re not leaving anything behind**

The store has done measures to improve itself vastly.
All locations from Covina to Los Angeles have added in an area that dispenses everything from flour, strawberry granola, vegetable chips, chocolate covered almonds, sweet peanuts, and my favorite indulgence lemon chili corn nuts! They have also incorporated a bigger and much more organized alcohol selection. This is one of the only places I can find a 24 pack of Reds Apple Beer.
Not only have they re-​vamped the place, but it is also the best deal for produce. The cheapest in the city, however make sure you use their produce within a week for freshness.
I love the deli, some of the most expensive Queso Fresco but best tasting yet. If there is a cut of meat you want fresh you can go to the deli and the butcher will do his best to honor your request.
Tip* Take someone who speaks Spanish if you are going to talk to the butcher.
This place also has the best bakery selection. Always fresh! We sometimes wait if we see them staking a new pallet of bolio breads that have just come out of the oven. They are so-​so delicious, especially at 4 for a $ 1.00. The jalapeño cream cheese roll is just the best breakfast a girl could want. The cakes on display are always unique fresh and much cheaper than Vons or Stater.
The snacks are however a little pricey. You will see better prices and variety at Walmart for chips, soda, and other bad things we like to eat. Which is better for me not to buy when I shop. I was a little disappointed however, since they added a healthy selection of dispensers that they have not incorporated fat-​free or low-​fat items. Which is my reason for the four star rating.
We frequent this market every two weeks, the service is always great. However, there have been a few occasions the line has been pretty long to check-​out. It does seem management stays on top of it though.
*Tip-​Bring a 2^nd person to shop with you, as this store is self-​bagging only.

They’ve really changed things up in the last few months.
A much needed makeover has hit this store, and it’s much better than it was previously.
As always, their bakery and tortillas/​chips are delicious. Great place to get a deal on common Hispanic produce (beans/​tomatoes/​cilantro/​peppers…) are usually cheaper here than other places. Decent place for seafood items, as well as cheese/​crema. Liquor is cheaper than most other places.
The best thing has been the self-​serve dispensers around the back wall. They remind me of the ones at Whole Foods, at a fraction of the cost.

All I can say is that this review is STRICTLY for their bakery.
What an awesome shop. They have some truly talented individuals working in this department. They are friendly, and give you excellent suggestions. I bought my wife her birthday cake here, and everyone was raving about it. They were so surprised when I told them I got it at Superior.
The store itself is not that great. The bakery, however, should not be lumped in with the rest of the place. Enjoy!

Superior Grocers has been my #2 go to grocery store for many years now. The produce is great on quality half the time. The meat is OK and fairly good deals at times. I like the new bulk item section just added earlier on in 2013. Always good deals on the cereals, sodas and chips at which I try to avoid. Bakery is the same as the produce hit or miss. Looks like the bakers each have their own way of baking the breads because at times they are good and then not. The check out lines are ridiculous most of the times… parking too.
good luck my friends!

I love this place!
1) low prices on fruits and vegetables! I love juicing when I can… And they carry kale, beets, carrots and then some, everything I need for juicing.
2) amazing pan dulce/​bakery. And believe me when I say they have thee best pan dulce/​concha (the white shell, sweet bread) thee BEST.
It’s soft like a donut, NEVER dry or dried out, overly crumbly.
Pair with a cup of the café De olla coffee from the Nescafé machine!
Amaaaazingggggg
3) freshly made tortilla chips, tortillas (flour and corn) right on premises.
I was there last night and looks like they put up a wall now of fresh flowers, instead of the tortilleria view when you walk in. I thought that was a unique feature to their store!
4) checkout lines can be a nightmare, and you do have to bag your own groceries, which sometimes causes a traffic jam of carts. :(

Granted, there are not a lot of great choices in Covina, but opting to shop here on purpose when you are able go somewhere else is beyond me. OK, I have not the pleasure of buying anything at the bakery, mind you, and I see from other Unilocalers it’s a highlight.
I read the circular each Tuesday, and although the prices are OK, they are NOT that much less than a sale at Vons or F&E.
If you are buying in bulk, I guess its ok.
But I can’t get past the past-​the-​prime produce, complete with flies…
The horribly rude cashiers and no bagging service…
The weird layout, which seems designed to deter escape (I’d hate to be in there when the Big One hits) Once you get inside, it’s hard to get out.
It’s scary.
NOT worth it for me, sorry. For cheap cilantro, mexican goodies, and fresh produce, I head to Baja Ranch, which is head and shoulders above in the atmosphere department. (I love their 80’s music)
That being said, I’m giving one star because one time I had to find a old-​fashioned watermelon WITH seeds (don’t ask) and they’re the only place that sold them.
