Fuentes Miguel

I gave this four out of five only because I wish it had more selection. However, for the most part I am satisfied. I came to this store for the first time last week and I’m a fan. They have things here I can’t find at stores closer to me so it’s worth the walk. I definitely plan on returning.

I’m a fan because it’s not far from where I live, I can pick up deli sliced ham if my supply of groceries from my last Peapod delivery ran out, I can pick up liquid drain cleaner or shampoo at the last minute for a decent price, but mainly I like this place because of the liquor store.
A handle of Smirnoff vodka is $ 29.99. They also have really cheap vodka (Rubikoff) at $ 15 a handle if you’re pinching pennies. The guys behind the counter here are super-​cool and friendly because I’m a regular. I’ve been annoyed by too-​chatty men behind me in line who are just buying nips, but I feel as if the great guys behind the counter protect me!
Very convenient if you live near the Roxbury Crossing T-​stop in Mission Hill.

Very small convenient store with the addition of an alcohol section. It pretty much has everything you need! The aisles are tight and packed with products. The refrigerated and freezer section had many varieties of frozen foods and drinks. The register is another tight cluttered area that’s stuffed with candies, candles, cigarettes, condoms and lighters.
The alcohol section is the only section that is neat and orderly. Behind the counter they have a large amount of alcoholic drinks but it’s hard to see prices. The amount of drinks behind the counter is a little overwhelming. Going here on a Friday or Saturday night is tough because you have to know what you want when you get up to the counter.
Outside there are usually people drunk. They never really bother you though. They have a small parking lot on the side of the store which makes it convenient for parking.

Yeah, yeah, the racist trust-​fund out-​of-​towner students think it’s «sketchy.» Yawn.
This is a pretty well-​stocked bodega. They have a lot of household basics, North American and Latin American groceries, and a decent amount of fresh produce and whatnot for a corner store. The liquor store has a good selection, good prices, and they’re always friendly and willing to give you suggestions and reviews of the alcohol. The family who owns it are super nice and remember you if you’re a frequent shopper.

I’ve bought liquor here before but I have never been so upset with a liquor store until tonight. As I went to the counter to buy a bottle of wine, the man behind the counter took my i.d., incorrectly scanned it, didn’t try to look up California in the identification book, then proceeded to tell me that my drivers license was fake. I’ve never been so insulted by a persons lack of competence to sell alcohol and makes me wonder how many times people with real ids have had their drivers licenses stolen. It wasn’t until I threatened to call the police due to identity theft that he gave me back my drivers license.
I’ve been here before and had my identification accepted so I don’t know what this assholes problem was. This place is extremely sketchy so if you are from out of state, stay the hell away.

Both really awesome and really offputting in one place.
Lots of frozen food, but only 4 or 5 items of produce. They have a whole aisle of candy, and a huge alcohol selection (with some weird brands thrown in, but that’s always a treat. The staff were unwelcoming and I don’t remember them saying anything except my total.
It’ll have what you need though, in most cases.

Fuentes is my go-​to grocery store when I am either on a budget or have come all the way back from Stop&Shop and realized I forgot something. It’s been said before but I’ll say it again– they have EVERYTHING. But I mostly just grab a snack and head over to the liquor store portion and stock up on whatever beer or wine I need. Some of the bottles of wine are kind of dusty so it’s not always my favorite place to pick up a bottle but they have a good beer/​liquor selection.
The staff have always been very friendly and helpful. I have a feeling I’ve been given a special discount on some occasions and as a poor student, it was always very much appreciated.

I was born and Raised in Mission Hill. Fuentes Market is where I would buy my bread, eggs, ham and cheese for morning breakfast, The Fuentes Family are great people and good to the community. I no longer live in Mission Hill but do go often to visit family or hang out. This place has just about everything u need. The booze is kinda pricey. They cater to to many Puerto Rican foods. During the Christmas season you fan buy many homemade authentic Puerto Rican foods like Pasteles, morcillas, pernil, flan, and many many other goodies.

Oh sweet, sweet Fuentes. You have everything and nothing I need. I know that doesn’t make a lot of logical sense but listen up. Fuentes is half liquor store, half bodega which means it carries everything! Plantains, deli meat, cleaning products, religious candles, 6-​packs, booze, mixers, cigarettes, candy, cookies, and condoms. This place is sort of fun to poke around in but most importantly, they’ll have exactly what you forgot to by on your trip to the grocery store.

Ummmm… I LOVE FUENTES!!!
I’ve been buying booze here since I was 18 years old. For real. Don’t hate them they didn’t know. I had a really good ID. I’m 23 now so suck it you can’t get me in trouble now! HA HA! Anway– good booze selection. They are always willing to help carry it out to your car/​cab. Sometimes they’d throw me an extra nip or two in my bag if I batted my eyelashes and smiled.
The other side– meh believe it or not I’ve eaten their meat. We didn’t die. I wouldn’t do it again, but sometimes I like to live on the edge…
Overall great bodega, great liquor store, great staff.
Don’t let the locals bother you they are harmless. Grow some! We are in MISSION HILLLLLLLL!

I may be biased, but I just moved here from Virginia and Boston Liquor stores are way different.
First off, the man behind the counter was too busy talking on his blue tooth to help me. His conversation was WAY too work inappropriate. Every other word was the f-​word and he was talking about beating crap about some Bato who did something awful. It was interesting…
I also didn’t like that you couldn’t see any of the prices of most liquor behind the counter. He also was unhappy that I didn’t know exactly what I wanted. Even though I was the only customer buying something. It wasn’t likre I was holding up the line or anything. It’s also small and crowded (with people just standing there, seemed like no one was buying anything) in there. I like ODB liquors better.

When I shop at Fuentes, it’s for one of 2 reasons.
1) All of my other options for getting booze aren’t working out and I’m kinda desperate or
2) All of my other options for getting food aren’t working out and I’m totally desperate
Fuentes isn’t entirely your run-​of-​the-​mill bodega. They’ve got a wall of confiscated fake ID’s, so try your luck elsewhere if you’re underage. I don’t love buying food there since its not the cleanest market I’ve ever been to, but it gets the job done.

Great for what it is. Don’t go in looking for fancy imported beers, but if you’re just looking to pick up a quick 30 rack (or four) or a beer ball (or three) this is a great place to do it. Go in enough, and they’ll even remember you and not bother you for ID every time. And they’re also an actual market, so you can get your snacks and mixers and fruit garnishes and solo cups here, too. Every now and again, you’ll find a promoter there giving out free swag (water bottles, wristbands) if you buy their brand of beer, which is cool. If you’re just looking to pick up some quick booze, and you’re on the front of the hill or Northeastern’s West Village, Fuentes is the way to go.

yeah another first. this place is pretty good if you are in the mission hill area or going to or from roxbury crossing. a pretty decent beer selection and a decent enough market side. nothing to crazy, but plenty of ghettofab bargains on shit like those little baggies that kids seel dime abgs in SUHWEET. dont be worried by the kids outside and whatever you do dont use your fake ID (im talking to you Wentworth and Northeastern freshmen…) these guys are hardcore. best for last, they stock the rainbow of Mad Dog ²⁰⁄₂₀ flavahz! BOO DRUNK YA

I second michael m’s review. This place can also seem downright sketchy at times but it serves a purpose of being just down the road from NU. Whenever I go I make a point to be in and out pronto but it’s a good place to grab a cold 30.

This is a hole in the wall convenience store located near the intersection of Parker & Tremont Street. I’ve never shopped at the convenience portion: only the small liquor section, which is completely stocked with beer, wine, hard liquor, as well as a small assortment of kegs.
The location may not be the best — but if you live nearby, the convenience may be the clinch. The prices are pretty much midrange. The selection of beer is nothing to be proud of, plenty of cheap domestics, a load of corona, and a few cases of Sam Adams and Harpoon. The prices on beer balls are more than decent, though.
There is a downside to this place — location and atmosphere. When the weather is sunny, there will be tons of people loitering on the side of the building. When the weather is bad, people will be loitering inside the building. And, more often that not, there will be someone paying for a 40 with pennies. But that’s what gives this place character.
