Calimex Family Market

As you might expect you can find a great selection of ethnic foods. It has a very large array of food that satisfies that quick run to your local corner neighborhood market. Today I purchased 2 Double D Duracell Batteries and they were right behind the cashier waiting for me. It is a very well stocked Market for its size. I can't say a bad thing about it.

Greatest carne asada meet ever!

They best Carne Asada! I grew up in the area and have been coming here for years. Now that I have moved away, I still come here for my meat!

Best place to buy Chicken and Ranchera for Carne asada. This little gem has been my spot for many years now. I'm a big fan of Calimex. Gracias Calimex.

I love CaliMex especially the meat. Up to thos point it has not disapointed me and I have not seen any concerns.. They have variety of meat and looks clean . The store itself does not look questionable. I enjoy coming here. I have other markets around but nothing like Calimex..

a Decent small Grocery Market that has your everyday basic foods, fruits, meats and etc. (Other useful info about this market.) - Deli meat service -parking lot that fits 20 vehicles -california lottery scratcher machine inside.

Great meat cuts and the fried tilapias made to order have the best flavor in all of LA. I have not had a better tasting fried tilapia anywhere. Excellent convenience store.

Love this place. The butcher is totally friendly and willing to cut up the chicken the way I want it and they always have nice veggies & nopales.

This is a wonderful semi-hidden gem (i.e. never too crowded) that satisfies *most* of my grocery needs. They don't have some of the fancy hipster stuff I like, such as greek yogurt and whole-bean coffee... But the meat counter is great (try the chorizo, and also pre-marinated chicken) and their prices on fruits + veggies are lowwww. They even gave me a whole bunch of bananas for free once, just because they were looking a little over-ripe. Vons never does that. Also, nice little craft beer selection that seems to be updated regularly. They even have a surprisingly large selection of hardware/electrical equipment. What a cool spot.

The staff is awesome. Very helpful & they have all the snacks and very convenient neighborhood market with everything

Muy Mal organizados . Para pagar es un desastre El estacionamiento igual Urge limpieza en área de chiles de líquido...

Went in and was out in 5 minutes. Had never been here before but locals on a FB group said this was the place. It had an old and smelly feel but clean. I bought 5lbs of carne asada prepared for $70. Had sticker shock but the host of the party who was the cook really enjoyed it. So it was win.

The old Taco Man is back with the Handmade tortillas!!! delicious tacos Asada chicharrón en salsa verde Alpastor and quesadillas and burritos it's a MUST TRY doesn't compare with the lady that was there ... I'll be back

BEST marinated carne Ranchera/Asada in NELA! Old school meat counter with great selection of different cuts. They make fresh Guac and salsas on Saturdays too. grab some tortillas and beer while your there too. Nothing fancy but the people are really nice -especially the guy behind the meat counter. If they happen to be out of ranchera when you go- which has happened since it's so damn good- he will mix up some more while you wait.

I just had a nice experience with a nice gentleman who said he has worked there for 25 years :). His customer service skills is awesome. I came in to buy ground beef and some some marinated beef. Let's support these small local businesses that's been around for a long time..

We have been getting our BBQ meats here for years. Lately we have discovered the will deep fry fish for you MOJARAS......I called in 3 last week at home I had white rice and steamed veggies it was a delicious dinner for my family and affordable.

This place has the best carne asada in la, fresh, have the butcher run your meat through the tenderizer first and it will melt in your mouth.

Okay so it's not the prettiest place in the world and the parking lot is kind of wonky but walk inside to the meat counter and you'll find the most delicious marinated boneless spineless chicken breast and steak!!! OMG How yum!!! We drive out from Pasadena for all the yum, I used to have the luxury of living across the street but I would gladly drive for the great products.

Came here to pick up some carne asade ranchero, marinated chicken, porkchop to grill..... cool spot to pick up your bbq meat.....

Walked in to get a sugar free red bull... however was shocked to see that they had the first energy drink of all time,"lipovitan". The reason cali mex is getting 5 stars not four is because they have "broncolin"!!! Right next to some vitamins from Doctor Pacheco, great.. Overall the grocery store looks extremely clean, meat looks well prepared and the produce looks fresh!

This review is for their carne asada only. Their "ranchera" marinated carne asada is some of the best I've had. Trust me, my family and I know carne asada. Whenever we have a family bbq, I always buy my meat here. Tender, juicy, very lean and very flavorful. They have 2 different type of carne asada so don't be cheap and spring for the good stuff. Around $6 a pound...you won't be disappointed.

This is a terrific market for vegans on a budget. Extremely good prices on always fresh produce. E.g., green onions that are always large and crisp in generous bunches for 25c/bunch. Great spinach, great cabbage, great chilis, jicama, radishes; everything good, everything cheap. The best thing, though, is the great deal on capers and olives on the shelf across from the beer cooler. Don't miss 'em.
