Valley Produce Market

Great love it. The meat and produce is great. I have bought everything for most holidays here. Everyone should try, I recommend it

If I had a nickel for every time I drove by and said. "Imma check this market out sometime soon..."

Five years later, I finally made it. (I know, I certainly took too long.)

Better late than never!

Hubbers and I have our usual Asian or Mexican markets go-to's which were a bit of a drive from home. This one is much closer. He mentioned he's stopped by and that he liked their meat and vege selections, so when the need came up and didn't feel like making the drive to our usual spots, we came through.

It's primarily a Mexican digs with the usual products. Fresh vegetables, selections of cheese and meats, as well as lots of piñatas which added to the overall decor. Prices are a tad bit higher than usual, but worth it for the convenience!

I guess I got distracted at looking at some interesting things I may have never seen before because the next thing I knew, Hubbers got what we needed and was good to go.

Glad I finally made the stop! I may find myself making more stops here in the near future!

Quite expensive and very unfriendly people. As soon as we walked in we said hello and was returned with stares. I can't shop in such a hostile environment. Will never return

A gem of a small Latino market that obscurely sits in busy San Pablo Avenue where commuters drive by daily.

After driving by this little market for 1.5 years on my way home, I finally decided to stop in. And, I'm so glad I did.

The market was clean, neatly stocked, and organized in different section and small rooms. Merry Latino music was chiming along as a few shoppers browsed. Unlike other markets, the music was the right volume, not blasting in one's ears. Workers were friendly and helpful.

I came looking for avocados. Where I usually shop at Safeway or Raley's, small Haas avocados are usually expensive anytime of the year. And, even on sale, one doesn't get much of a deal.

To my surprise, large Mexican avocados here were $1.39 each. They may not be Haas quality, but this price fits my budget. I browsed the shelves to delightfully find more fresh produce my husby usually cooks with . There were shelves of different kinds of beans, tortilla chips, salsas, breads, and even desserts.

The back room is a butcher counter. I saw marinated meats, as well as choice cuts of fresh meat ready for carving. When I have more time, I'm bringing my husby here to get marinated meats for grilling and barbecuing. And, for tacos, fajitas, and burritos.

On my way out, I found little soft flour taco sized tortillas for the 1st time. I've never seen them in major supermarkets. Had to get them with my stash of avocados and bag of black eyed peas.

This is my new go-to Latino grocery.

Well....As a small business owned market..I feel they are are providing the local community with good fresh produce & extras Fresh salsa sold. Prices are fair ..service is good ALTHOUGH I feel both siblings who run place should Smile when servicing you. No pinatas like the photos show. Overall Good store..big selection on tortillas.. Mexican bread slim choices...meat is good!

I have mixed feelings about Valley Produce Market.
There are items that are on sale weekly, like most grocery stores, and for the most part, they are good. I'm addressing specifically produce.
However, after bringing them home, many times, it's bruised on the inside, though I am very careful when selecting them.
I have noticed that the staff, many times, tends to basically just dump out the fruits onto the stand and then arrange them. I believe this bruises the fruits, though it may not be apparent immediately.
Another item, which is irritating though other grocers do it also: Specials on specific days. Because Valley Produce is a bit away from my home, and I am nearer to it one day of the week only, it's not worth it to drive 20 miles just to take advantage of the special sale on another day. Most unfortunate.

I was babysitting my friend's baby one day when we decided to go on a walk and check out the local market. I'm always interested in checking out local markets, especially those that sell Mexican/Latin goods.

It's a nice little store that has a great variety of produce, dairy, meat, tortillas and bread. They have fresh queso, guacamole, salsas and chips. I picked up a few items to snack on while watching the baby and was impressed with the fresh quality. They have a nice meat market in the back that was spotless and looked like they have great options. Great place to stop in if you need a few items or need dinner inspiration.

Been going to Valley Produce since I was a kid and its definitely a neighborhood gem! Family owned business , great service, and their meat counter is awesome! Recently went in a noticed they changed up the inside a little, it looks great and even more welcoming. If you go by you should grab some chips, guac, salsa, and if they have their catfish ceviche it's a must! So good!

Valley produce is a great family owned produce and a carniceria/butcher shop. The people working here are friendly and the store is clean. Another plus is they have a parking lot; there is no street parking on San Pablo Avenue. I think the prices are compatible with other nearby supermarkets and Latin food stores. On the other hand S thinks they are too expensive.

I'd rather pickup a few things here than go to a supermarket. They have a nice selection of fresh vegetables and fruit. They have a lot of Latin spices and cheese. The marinated meats in the carniceria make great fajitas. The other meat is hand-cut to order it doesn't sit all day in a package. They also sell their own delicious fresh salsas and guacamole. What some pan dulce, or different chips? You'll find it at this small market.

Yes, they deserve 5 stars!

Best guacamole and shrimp ceviche I've had in ages! Great little market with good deals
