Mission Ranch Market - Mission Viejo, California

Tawny V

Late post - recently visited Mission Ranch Market, and overall, it was a fantastic experience! This busy Middle Eastern grocery store has a lot to offer. The onsite deli was impressive, and the fresh bread was a hit with everyone. I also appreciated the wide selection of fresh veggies, all at surprisingly affordable prices.
The market includes a dried fruits and nuts bar, which is a nice touch for those looking to try a variety of flavors. While the parking lot is small and can be a bit hectic due to the high volume of customers, the vibrant atmosphere is part of its charm.
I initially considered giving them 3 stars, service is quite slow, and not all veggies are affordable. Lines take a long time to move but the Koobideh I tried was absolutely superb—definitely a highlight of my visit!

This place is a gem in South Orange County. Their restaurant serves delicious authentic Persian cuisine at reasonable prices. The deli is great with a wide selection of options and clean slicers. Great fresh produce. Haven't tried their meat counter but hear good things about quality and freshness. It's worth the extra distance to shop here versus other options.

Fresh ingredients for all produce sections and deli and has a restaurant attached and fresh baked breads by order. It’s a very nice setup. Get very busy though means it’s popular and the they keep bringing out the new produce in rotation faster. Perfect for your biweekly grocery stop as their stuff lasts long too.

I’m really frustrated with this grocery store. I bought some peaches that looked fresh and perfect, but within just 16 hours, they were completely rotten. I don’t understand how they can go bad so quickly unless something’s been done to them to make them look fresh for a short time. This isn’t the first time this has happened, either. It’s so disappointing to pay for what seems like good fruit, only to get home and find out it was just a trick. I wish they’d be more honest about the quality of their produce.

Update from previous review, place is still highly chaotic both inside the store and outside in the parking lot and still desperately needs traffic officers. The store has lots of different items, meats, kosher meats, fruit, cheese, fresh sushi, sweets, rice, canned items, lottery stand, table booths to sit and eat, washroom, etc. Staff is humble and polite, good knowledge of items, place is very clean.?Staff not very accomodating, place was huge, but completely chaotic, they need traffic cops & traffic lights in there...People moving around in a daze as if they are in Leisure World, in complete slow motion, not paying any attention where they are going...The staff doesn't seem to know where half their products are...

Very large middle eastern market. Everything is well laid out and clean. The bakery seems super popular. The Dubai chocolate tart was disgusting but the other items were ok.

"Disappointing Experience with Customer Service"

I had a very disappointing experience with this store's customer service. It’s essential to double-check what you’re purchasing here, as returning defective products can be a frustrating process.

I bought a yogurt and later discovered that it had already been opened (as shown in the attached picture). For health and safety reasons, I had to discard it immediately, but I took a photo and kept the receipt for proof. When I returned to the store to request a refund or exchange, I was met with an unhelpful attitude. The manager was particularly dismissive, and they refused to assist me, despite the clear evidence I provided.

As someone who shops here regularly, this experience left me deeply disappointed. I expected better accountability and customer service. I hope the management addresses these issues to improve their service and regain the trust of their loyal customers.

I have driven past this shopping center thousands of times but never thought to stop in. Their selection of unique food items is like nothing else I've ever seen. They have very fresh produce, including hard to find items. Their on-site deli has a vast selection of Boar's Head meats. There's a full bakery that was churning out an incredible flat bread whose name escapes me at the moment. They also have a bunch of pastry options. The parking lot was a bit crazy, but I found a spot almost immediately. Try not to leave your cart in the lot since that's a naughty thing to do. Return your cart.
