Superior Super Warehouse

I went to Superior to buy some Onions. All of their produce was infested with tiny gnats. The produce was also dried out. Apparently, this store does not have the more modern automatic sprinklers. I am writing this review because this the third time I experienced the same issues. Three strikes, your out!

As we all know Superior Super Warehouse is like Wal-​Mart and Food-​4-​Less having a love child. This store is located off Central and Walnut off the 60 in Chino. There is plenty of parking even though there are shopping carts all over the place. I guess I got lucky because the lines were not long but at times there are only a few lines open. Products were ok to find. Employees are helpful. As many reviewers have mentioned, the meat is a hit or miss and this place caters to Latinos. There is also a jewelry store, a clothing store, and an optometrist inside for those that need to handle some business. You can also pay your Edison bill here. Superior stores are mainly for those looking to save a few bucks beyond the normal grocery store. If you are looking for better quality items and a better overall shopping experience your best bet is to visit Albertson’s down the street or shop elsewhere.

I’ve shopped here for a few years now and I haven’t yet had a bad experience. They have great sales on produce and other pantry-​type foods. They also carry a great selection of fresh and dried herbs, I love that. Plus, there’s a pretty good taco joint inside with yummy fresh juices, and also a clothing and jewelery store (both of which I have never been in so they’re not part of this review). Also, fresh donuts from the bakery are cheap (3 for $.99 on sugar ones today!)

haaaaate the check-​out of this store. always always always huge lines, no matter if you’re buying just 1 thing bc the 20 items or less register is always packed too. be prepared to wait 20 minutes or more when you’re checking out at this grocery store!

This store is right down the street from my house so it’s more convenient to stop here for day to day things, but I dread the thought of having to walk into this supermarket.
The parking for one is so confusing. Some sides are one way only and other sides aren’t so many people go the wrong way. The lot includes dozens of unnecessary stops and traffic bumps. Not to mention the frequent harassments by the men in the lot trying to get you to buy illegal bootleg movies that they sell from this old van.
You’re lucky if you get a cart at the front of the store. I usually have to go out to the parking lot to find one for myself. This always annoys me because it’s not due to the lack of employees. There’s always 2 – 3 sitting outside on break either smoking cigarettes or talking on the phone.
The store does have some pretty good deals during the week, but that’s usually because the food is rotting. They even have a section with completely rotten, moldy food that is clearly unsafe to eat that they STILL try to sell to you for half off.
After wheeling my way around the store (avoiding the meat section of course yiiikkes) I find myself staring right at an enormous crowd of people trying to check out. They never ever have more than 4 lines out of like 12 open and the cashiers are incredibly slow. During my most recent visit there were about fifty verrrry angry people waiting in crowded lines. Some were even directed to other lines because cashiers we’re going on break despite this frenzy. Waiting 15 minutes to buy 3 items is completely unacceptable.
Step up your game, Superior!!!

Great prices on staple produce. They have added a bulk food section with nuts, granola, and candy. There is also a machine where you can get freshly ground peanut butter. I like that they have chia seeds for a fraction of what you would pay at Sprouts. The rest of the store has prices comparable to Food4Less. The customer service is hit or miss. Lines sometimes get really long and you will be waiting a while to check out.

Well if you’ve been to Food 4 Less, you could agree the cleanliness is about the same.
Great prices for certain produce especially when there are sales. Otherwise it’s like an average market. I only go for here for produce or unless there’s meat on sale.

This review is specifically for the bakery! We wanted a cake for my sister and we needed a delicious cake on a short notice for a decent price. So we custom ordered our cake from here and it came out delicious!!! We didn’t want any of the cakes on display so we ordered a custom cake! We got a vanilla cake with strawberry filling and covered in white chocolate and whipped cream. It was above and beyond our expectations! We ordered the cake at 7:00pm at night and we were able to pick up the cake the next day at 5:00pm. I highly recommend!!! Please look in photos to see the cake! It says Happy Birthday Marina!

I take my nanny here to buy all her cooking staples: dried chiles, tomatillos, cilantro, masa, jamaica flowers, peppers, sopes, etc.
Before we started coming here, she was making all her Mexican dishes with my ingredients from Trader Joes or Whole Foods. Many of the items do not need to be purchased at those places.
The produce here is super cheap and fresh. I love the avocados here.
Just recently she made Champurrado (Mexican Hot Chocolate): using Valrona Dark Chocolate, raw organic sugar, my son’s organic milk, cinnamon, and fresh prepared masa from here.
We also got a steamer and all the tamale ingredients excluding the meat. That I would not buy here: o

This store is great! they have a good stock of food and prices. the employees are awesome. I enjoy shopping at this store!

I come here for their homemade refried beans and homemade chips. I also picked up an iPhone 5 charger cable, Optometrist and bought glasses. I also pick-​up some homemade tamales on Sunday after 4pm from a guy selling them in the parking lot ($ 10 a dozen). LOL Gosh, so much to do at a super market.

I just went to superior like 15mins ago, to bakery and got line to purchase bread but the cashier just skipped me and charged this lady behind me. Ummm… im not there because im bored or cause i have A LOT of time. just walked out because there was a lot of people behind me. 2013 march 8 around 6:15pm at bakery. This happends often at bakery. Dont care if they trained them or not because im not going there back anyways :)

I shop here for their sales which is wed, thurs, sat & sunday. Their deals are extremely good and comparable to rio ranch. The supermarket is well laid out… where you enter the sales are right in front of you. The casheirs however are extremely slow. The parking lot is usually pretty packed and there are a million speed bumps in the lot.

Let’s start with the (should-​be) obvious:
–The clientele is predominantly Latino
–The food is predominantly Latino
–The business caters to Latinos
Having said that, this place has a great variety of Mexican food staples from their marinated meats, to their in-​house taco stand, to candles with saints on them to all kinds of fresh and dried chiles and spices. If you go on the weekend or after 5pm-​ish, it’s a mad house. I only go during the week either in the morning when people are generally working or late at night when people are getting ready to snooze. About a half hour before they close is the best time to shop as the place is a little messy, but free of kids under 12.
Their produce is fresh, they have a decent variety, and their prices are competitive without any membership fees. The parking lot is huge and they are always plenty of carts and baskets for you to shop with. Although they have many check-​out stands, they lose a star because Superior usually doesn’t have many employees working as cashiers.

It’s hit or miss but mostly miss. I’m only here for the sale items usually if they’re not sold out already. Great place to get Mexican stuff but other than that, it’s okay.
Tortillas are freshly made on site so their tortilla chips are actually pretty good.

I only come here if I need to grab something really quick like… tomatoes… or milk. This place is not really my go-​to store; the prices aren’t that great and I’m not at all impressed with the deli area. But I do love the smell of the bakery!
If I want to get some good crema or cheese or tortillas I’ll make the drive to Northgate.

Hmmm… produce is kinda whatevers now. Meats look kinda so so and I don’t think I would try them. I have had bad experiences with the salsa here… stay clear! I have gotten 2 spoiled containers… never again! Only going here for their Chili Lime Chips and Cotija Cheese… if I can find this somewhere else… then probably won’t be back. I dislike the area and hate coming at night as I feel I might get robbed or something. The bakery does have some good stuff… so depends if I feel in the mood to venture back here or not.

Steer clear of the meat from Superior. I just bought 4 pounds of pork shoulder yesterday. When I took the meat out of my refrigerator today to cook, I noticed that the other side of the meat (the side that was not exposed in the package) was green! The meat was spoiled! My boyfriend and I nearly gagged when we saw it.
Then when my boyfriend took it back to get a refund, he was harassed by the store manager accusing him of not refrigerating the meat. They offered store credit or to exchange the rotten meat for something else because we didn’t have the receipt. Do they really think anyone in their right mind would want to buy anything else from that store? After some arguing and voices raised, they gave the refund.

Excuse me, Superior employee, did you just hit on me?
Oh, HELL NO.
I’m never setting foot in this store again.

I really wanna give this place a good review… I do BUT, twice they have sold me bad meat. So bad that when I opened up the ground beef package it smelled like death, then came the chicken breasts from hell. The first time I let it slide but the second time I put the chicken in a trash bag & drove myself back & demanded a refund. Of course, they gave me the run around and apologized but they would not give me my money back. I did get some new chicken but I had to sniff it to make sure it was not bad. The produce is good, the prices are comparable to let’s say Cardenas Market but to not check the meats is bad… like salmonella bad. I was just there yesterday lured in by the 3 for $ 1 mango’s & yummy, yummy tortilla chips and I decided to browse the meats. I picked up a pack of chicken and my hands reeked like spoiled chicken all the way home. I would not feed my husband & kids meat from this place. Buy the produce, b uy the tortillas but keep away from the meats.
