Novato Market - Novato, California

Like it’s not a Michelin star or anything but for under $14 I got a cubano torta that comes with asada, fried chicken, ham, cheese and avocado (+ the torta usual veg) as recommended by the lovely cashier and a 1.5L bottle of aloe Vera drink. I’m a big guy and lemme tell you, it could be two meals for some of you reading this. If you don’t like fatty foods it’s probably not the best for you, but it gets all the macros I care about and I love it.

Speaking Spanish will make it easier but I don’t speak a lick I got by fine. The people were nice and friendly, prices were acceptable for where we are, the usual clientele seemed to be Hispanic laborers so I knew it was gonna be good going in.

Would recommend

They have a fridge up front with some chilled wine and I got a bottle too that’s upon checking, $3 more than listed at BevMo. 🤷‍♂️ whatever I think I absolutely scored with the food so I’m happy to tip them a little more.

*Half a sandwich and wine bottle for size reference

This place is the worse at customer service. It's incredible how they stayed in business this long with their nasty attitude.
Stay out of here and only stop by if totally necessary.
The red salsa had an awful smell and it was expired. The food was tasteless and dry. DO NOT ORDER FOOD.

A little tiendita if your missing stuff from home folks were mostly friendly would recommend you stop by

Great place to get a torta or pickup some Apples or fresh fish. A wide selection of fresh and dried goods and you can even buy a large steamer pot for less than Target. Paletas, tortillas, sweets and good selection of frozen specialty items.

Items extremely expensive. For instance a bread that usually costs $0.59 in another Mexican/Latin store here is $1.29 (btw the price tag states $1.99/ 4 pack bag) the store charges 6% fee if you use your credit/debit card.

I asked to cancel the transaction, the cashier stated. There is no refunds (for something I even have in hand, she still Had everything in a plastic bag)

Very good variety of Mexican food items. Excellent fresh produce and, again, excellent variety. The have really good canned items and a nice meat department. Small place, but a really worthwhile grocery store. 👍👍👍

My go to stop for Mexican style meat cutd and cheese primarily due to location and distance to where I live.

It's a fairly small market with a produce aisle with stocks of lettuce, radishes, lemons,limes, peppers, onions, and tomatoes.

The meat section has a small selection but features the more popular cuts like arrachera, diezmillo, as well as some of these meats in taco cut styles both marinated and non marinated. I'm mainly a fan of queso fresco or cotillo and those 2 are sold here too. The price range is also good.

The only department that is lacking is their bread section however there are other places for that.

The aisles are fairly narrow so I would say tthis place is not handicap friendly for shopping if that is a concern due to the width of the aisles.

They accept cash and credit with a minimum $5 charge for credit cards.

Have always liked this store, until today when I called asking a question. The person on the phone was rude and said I needed to come in to get the prices, and hung up on me before I could figure anything out. I've never had that happen to me, as a customer wanting to purchase a good portion of meat, I would have liked to know the prices. Now we will be going elsewhere and give our service to another establishment.
