Super A Foods

I’ve found myself dropping by more often because of one thing.
The hubby discovered how good the baked chicken is from the hot deli. The hubby loves it much more than what’s at Ralphs & Albertsons. I have to agree; the seasoning is much tastier. I like it better than El Pollo Loco’s.
(It’s cheaper here too).
I’ve been coming right when the chicken’s brought out from the oven at 10am. There’s always 3 or 4 other people waiting for it too.
Oh, and of course the made-​in-​house tortillas! So, that’s two things he likes.
If you come in the morning, they’re still warm.
The one thing that I don’t like is their parking lot.
It’s mapped out kinda oddly.
I’ve parked around the corner a few times rather than try navigate the lot when it’s crowded.
So I’ll be in more often.
I’m happy that he’s finally wanting to get away from fried foods and that there’s a healthier chicken option here.

I went there especially to buy cherry’s and I got food poison from them. how I knew they were the cause of the food poison of them is cause they tasted funny. And also got the runs from them an the only thing that came out where little pieces of cherries, and boy did it burn when it came out. I had it 2 days I would never buy fruit from there again do not trust their fruit. And that was the on July 29^th 2015

Maybe they are just on their off game at this one because normaly I really like Super A foods as a grocery store, but this one is like eh, the produce here sucks and is expensive for some reason. The meat department is ok but seriously understaffed and even when there is someone behind the counter they pretend that they are busy and won’t even ask if they can help you. Good thing about this place is that they usually have some kind of good special on sauza tequila or PBR beer

This is my go to place for Carne Asada. The prices are really good and I can get in and out quick. Grew up coming here going on 30yrs now. Nice to have a small market here to have.

This place has a small food area where u can purchase burritos, tacos, tasteless rice etc… The burritos are good. I usually stick with the Asada and Buche. The red salsa is good. That’s all folks…

Okay so I drive buy this place all the time and I have to agree it is ghetto but you’re a stone throw away from East Los Angeles where people only care about prices not how pretty the place looks. The beer here is always on sale I was able to walk out with a 12 pack of New Castle and an 18 pack of Tecate for $ 20 bucks. They have a really good meat section and the meat looks fresher than the Superior in Montebello that seems to always be crowded. I walked past it just recently and they were testing the temperature of the food which is always a good sign. It is a very Hispanic oriented market so if you are going to make some Mexican food tonight stop buy this spot because their items are pretty well priced. Lastly stop buy on your way to car and gamble on the arcade game with plush toys covered in $ 5, $ 10, $ 20’s and $ 50 dollar bills.

Hadn’t been here in a while, but I had to buy some thing real quick yesterday so I stopped here. I’m very glad I did!
First thing I noticed, believe it or not, was the new floor they have. One of those black rubbery type floors, very clean! Haha, anyway from this I noticed that everything in the market was very clean and organized. Everyone was very helpful and nice when I needed help looking for something. When I got to the cashier to pay she let me know that there was coupons for some of the things that I was paying for. She entered the coupons for me and saved me a nice amount of money! Awesome! Thank you! I am definitely going back!

like this market it’s good prices, I like just down the street convenient always find what I am looking for.

I really like this place for what it is. Nothing more, nothing less. Super A is a discount market targetting mostly Hispanic families. But there were some Asian veggies and specialty items. It’s not fancy, in fact it’s kind of dumpy. But when I had to kill time working in this area, I stopped in a checked out the place. The specials and Mexican pastires were my favorite things, and left there a happy man.
The meat department has some specialty items like tripe and carne asada meat, I think they sell every part of the cow and pig, and many meats you won’t find at Albertsons, Ralphs, or Vons.
The pastries caught my eye. Some were still warm. It was 3 for $ 1.99, so I got six. They were fresh, and had good aroma. And al lot of the Mexican pastry places I went after them had dry pastires with lousy flavor. I got two conchas, two apple turnovers, and bi-​colored pink/​white sweet pastries. Later, I walked over to the coffee and donut shop a few doors down for coffee. Then I happily ate two of the pastries in the car. Chomp, slurp, gulp. Great snakc. When friends came over that night just to say hello, they saw the plastic bag of pastries, and prompted me to say, «You can have one or two». Well there were two of them which equals four; sadly they said, «Dang that smells good. Well if you insist, we’ll take two each.» And I was suddenly a grouchy man with no pastries (grrrr!)
Right next to the pastires was produce. It was early August when I went. They had some organic nectarines for 99 cents, and they were okay. The non organic peaches were better at $ 1.99 a pound. They had some cactus, and some Asian vegetables. Heart shaped Kent Mangoes with very little stringiness were two for a dollar, watermelon was 5 lbs for a dollar, and corn was 3 ears for a dollar.
I checked out the weekly specials, and they were great. Six rolls of two ply towels were $ 3.50, and I bought two. They also had 1 liter plastic bottles of Jarrito Mango and Pineapple sodas. High sugar content, but very yummy. The inexpensive Sun Laundry detergent with non chlorine bleach was $ 1.99 for the 24 load bottle.
The store aisles are kind of narrow. It must be lousy here during rush hour. I was shocked when several employees at different times said, «excuse me» when they were in my way as they stocked shelves. They resumed work after they let me pass through. That blew my mind, polite people always do LOL. Overall, I enjoyed this 10 minute shopping experience. And I’ll be back.

Super A has by far the best tortillas anywhere! They come out absolutely fresh, and delicious every time. Go in the morning and around noon for the freshest. They don’t mind bringing out a new batch if you ask.
Under $ 2 gets you more corn tortillas than a party of 20 can finish in tacos. Buy them and freeze half; they do well after thawed. As for the fresh ones, they’ll keep for about two weeks. Try the yellow corn tortillas, which are maybe a little more rigid and hearty than the white.
For about $ 3 you can get a nice stack of flour tortillas. Have you ever actually looked at the price of flour tortillas? They’re $ 3 for maybe a dozen. You’ll get at least twice this many in one of the big Super A packs. You can also get a smaller pack for about $ 2, but you’ll wish you bought the big one!
The produce is also top notch. No, it’s not organic. But it is really cheap. And big. And good. Avocados and mangos for a quarter, potatoes for a dollar or two, and lots of other random specials.
Every other week, they also have ridiculous specials on Tecate. Like $ 7 for an 18 or 24 pack.

best salsa ever!

Ghetto as all hell. For the longest time I thought this Super A foods was out of business. In fact, I think I planned it to be one location to go when the Zombie Apocalypse happens because it just sits there in the middle of Montebello and remains unnoticed by all who pass by it. Just sitting in the corner of your eye and never really being a place anyone wants to go.
Hell, I went to school no more than a couple of blocks from here and I never wanted to go in nor did I think it was actually ever even open. The parking lot always looked empty. But sure enough, there is life in this place after all.
First off, while not a typical Mexican butcher, the meat selection here is pretty impressive. If you’re throwing a BBQ, it’s a good one stop shop for a lot of marinated meat for your carne asada needs. Just come in and walk out with a big aluminum tray of stuff you can toss on the grill.
They have weekly specials like most other places, I jumped at the clearance one time when Tecate 18 packs were dirt cheap. I mean, how could you pass up cheap beer at a cheap price? You really can’t.
The fruits and veggie selection is hit or miss. Just have to wade through a lot of the duds in the pile and get past the ones that don’t look to fresh and you got yourself some remotely cheaply priced side fixings.
Over all, it’s a good place to stop if you’re throwing a BBQ kick back in the local parks. And you’re in Montebello, why wouldn’t you be going to a kick back around here?

Alright folks heres the skinny. Well not that skinny. umm infact not skinny at all. huh! anyways I recently had the Fight (Pac man Vs Hatton) at my Casa (House) and needed to pick up some Pollo and Carne Asada, so I decided to give Super A’s a try.
After battlling for parking, I walkin in and headed streight for the meat counter (after elbowing an elderly lady, sorry grandma). I saw that they had some Prepaired Flank steak (Carne Asada) and some preped Chicken (pollo). So I ordered like 5 punds of Beef and 5 pound of Pollo and I saw that they also had beef Riblits so I ordered 3 punds of those.
I don’t knoe about you but everytime I pick up Carne Asada preped or not i always add can or Bottle of beer and let it sit for about 1hr at room tem, in this case the beer was Dos Equis (because Im the most interesting man in the world, .lol). let me tell you there was bout 8 people at my crib that day and the Carne Asada and the Beef ribitts were the fisrt to go.
o the next day afetr missing a very important meeting At work (due to the amount of Beer consumtion I did the night before) I looked in the aluminum container, and there was nothing left. Damb i must have been sleep eating for some shit.
Anyway Super A you make me proud, like a dad watching his child make thier fisrt home made burger. keep on doing what you do and I will keep on keeping on. You know.

Beautiful weather always inspires me to bar-​b-​que. Keep in mind that I don’t bar-​b-​que but I’m inspired anyway. So this past weekend was GORGEOUS. So I thought «Carne Asada» because my friends are as enthusiastic about carne asada as I am. Perhaps even more so.
Interesting that the name of the food serves as the name of the event. When I called them up and said «I’m having a Carne Asada at my house» they understood. It’d be weird if I called and said «Hey I’m having a Spaghetti at my house».
So I call up my dad who makes the best carne asada (in my opinion) to find out where he gets his meat because I never really paid attention. Turns out he buys it here at Super A Foods. I never would have guessed!
This store is pretty small but they’ve got a mini restaurant thing going on where they sell burritos and tacos and such. I also really like their tortillas. Not expensive at all and pretty tasty. As good as you’re gonna get from a supermarket chain.
They’re avocados were 2 for $ 0.99 (yesssss!) but there wasn’t a great selection. =(But thankfully, Frank is a master at making guacamole, so all was not lost and he made them work.
I was very, extremely, to the max satisfied with the carne asada. Not quite up to par with my dad’s but pretty damn close! And my guests left full and drunk. Just how a true Carne Asada is supposed to be.

I love this market! The meat is very cheap and the hot red salsa is great, you can get it at the meat counter. You can get cooked carnitas there, they are awesome! You can also get boulios, I don’t know if I spelled that right, but they are bread rolls that you can use for tortas or sandwiches. Great prices and good Mexican food. You can also get all of the basic stuff you can get at Ralphs or Vons. The people who work there are very helpful and courteous. I especially like the meat area because I like meat. They also have really good yellow corn tortillas which are the bomb. You can buy the corn tortillas, salsa, cheddar cheese and carnitas and have a great meal. I did this once for a little get together and it was a hit.
