The place is packed on Thursdays when all the seniors show up for their specials. They have a lot of international products you won't find anywhere else.

Before Fresh 'N' Easy, there was the Alhambra Market. Okay place for produce and meats. Quality and service is about average. I bought some chicken here a few times and wasn't very impressed. Prices aren't very competitive compared to other supermarkets, but a lot of the deli items are pretty good and fresh. Solid tres estrellas!

This is the closest market to where I live for a long time. Me and my family always come here to get small stuff like green onion and fruits. I've recently started to come here for the meat.
Used to be pretty cheap and convenient, but I just realized how expensive their stuff is. I'll stop being lazy and go to a proper grocery market next time. -

The store definitely has character, and it isn't for everyone, but I like it a lot. I usually hit it up after stops at Fresh and Easy and/or Target.
It's convenient and has some great homemade salsa, Mexican essentials like religious candles and beer, great prices for the larger bottles of A&W Root Beer, Ruby Red Squirt, 7Up and the like, plus pan dulce, the selection of which is hit or miss depending on what day it is and what time you go.
But what really sets this place apart are the friendly staff and the people watching. Also, great for practicing your Spanish skills if you're so inclined. -

I like this place because it is VERY AUTHENTIC. Alhambra Market is REALLY EXCELLENT! If you like your salsa or guacamole FRESH, HOMEMADE, and Hot this is the place to get it. The FRESH Chorizo at the meat counter is significantly less fatty and less watery then commercial brands and they have the BEST selection of Hispanic Cheeses I have seen. The staff is friendly and helpful all the time. If you are a professional chef or a home cook who enjoys the REAL Flavors of Central and South America, this is the market to go to.

This is a small neighborhood market, with a meat counter.
I'm not crazy about their meat, as a matter of fact I purchased chicken once and took it straight home, but once I opened the bad, the horrible stench of rotten meat came flying out. Yea, I'd avoid the meat counter. I see a review that mentions they use Harris Ranch beef, I HIGHLY doubt that. Just because they have Harris Ranch signs doesn't mean a thing. As a matter of fact I looked up retailers on the Harris Ranch website, and shocker...Alhambra Market isn't listed!
I still come here for their cheap produce, their chips and house made salsa as well as house made guacamole. -

OK I should be honest, but I only come here for one thing and that is getting their wicked awesome meats at their carniciera. I dont even know if I wrote that right. Well being raised among asians in Alhambra I had no idea what real mexican food was, let alone seeing where they exist and such other than my mom who is from Mexico. Thus I was raised on taco bell and ground beef tacos. It wast till I got older and discovered La Estrella, King Tacos, East La and taco trucks that I found out was real mexican food was. But the problem arose where can I purchase it and make it on my own? Definetely not Alhambra I thought - not at ralphs or 99 ranch i thought. Not until one day I got the flyer for alhambra market and went on a whim to check it out. Boy was I ever happy. Their Prices were hella cheap and their Pollo Asada is to die for. I can eat it for a week and not get tired of it. Their Carne Asada and Chicken Fajitas are also great.
Anyways still love going here and wont ever stop, also a great store to get other Latino products such if you need some tres flores hair gel or those taboo latino revistas. -

This is a practical market, i go there sometimes when i visit my daughter, she lives very close, even thought, the market is small and you are bumping with other peopleThey have sweet mexican bread, and mexican products, i like to buy produce there because the prices are very reasonable, specially broccoli, squash and avocados, the same with fruits, the meats are fresh, and they cut them the way you want, they milanesa meat which my son loves it tastes so good, and he always asks Mom i want my milanesa.. I will continue going there.

Here's why I like Alhambra market....pre-cut meat. I make a lot of beef stir fry and the AM always has the sirloin steak cut up already. That is perfect, just what I need. And it's Harris Ranch Beef which is pretty damn good stuff. They have a decent selection of fresh vegetables too, considering how small of a market it is.

I definitely have mixed feelings regarding the Alhambra Market. I live extremely close to the market and am often seen in pajamas right before it closes (at 9pm) struggling to decipher the different spanish labels to find what I need. The market has a sufficient selection of produce, meat, and regular grocery items. Don't expect to find any liquor there as they only sell beers [limited variety] and wine [moderate variety]. The employees there are very nice but if you're looking for something complicated it'd definitely be a plus if you could ask for it in spanish. Overall, I gotta love the place because its so close to me and can provide me with staples, but if you're looking for anything specific you might wanna try the Ralphs down the street!

This is one of the worst markets I've been in. I actually went in during the Ralphs strike, so maybe it's improved some. The produce was horrible, they have absolutely nothing healthy. I bought a few things, the meat I bought was definitely not fresh, I ended up not using it. I bought a few snacks for my son, Ritz crackers, baby carrots. The crackers were stale and the carrots were slimy. I've never been back even though it's pretty close to me.

You know, I like this place. They have really affordable produce and the workers are friendly. We've BBQed the marinated chicken and gotten many compliments, and we've also bought fish there for ceviche. It's not the cleanest or most pleasant grocery store I've been to, but it works. I'm probably there once every other week, or so.
