La Bodega Market

Best place to get your cake done in the South Bay!
Cecy helped me decide on an awesome cake for a friend’s birthday party. Not only was the design beautiful but also delicious.

I really like this little market. For the fact that they carry the tortillas that I love. They have variety of food prepared to go and they charge per pound. Really tasty and the lady that was there was super sweet giving me different samples. I went around 12pm and they had a lot of fresh barely made food. To the side they have bean containers and I gotta say they taste just like how my grandma makes them. Super yummy!!!

It’s an all right little market whenever I go there and want the «dinner combos» they NEVER EVER have it. I had asked the guy one why every time I go there it’s never available and he’s like oh you have to come in early to get it around 7AM. If it’s a «dinner» combo shouldn’t it be available hasta during dinner time? Like wtf !? At least put a sign so. people like myself can know that. I do like their cake section they have ALOT of cake stuff at good price and their baked cakes there are really good. They do have my husband’s fav brand of tortillas too… selecta. but the cashiers are all older armagadas. Always giving me a dirty look… never seen them smile. Maybe like 2 or 3 of them but thats about it. If you have kids beware! I don’t think. they are fond of kids. But I come here for the cakes and the tortillas and to change my wic coupons. Their fruit are veggies are all right better than food 4 less and almost as fresh as Northgate tho

This is a small, well-​organized market, much like Mi Pueblo Food Center up north but much smaller.
They had a variety of essentials such as meats and cheeses, but also had a cake decorating selection of items that would do Wilton proud.
The baked items looked very tempting, and if not for just walking from the diner, I probably would have loaded up on a little of everything, including those little flan cups and Jarritos and Helados México. I don’t really like sweet stuff, but in certain cases, yes, I do.
I made a comment to friends that they didn’t have the Bimbo brand snacks and baked desserts, which seemed odd because we even got those in Florida and strangely, they showed up in telenovelas. (It was just a passing thing, I swear!)
If I didn’t have Mi Pueblo Food Center, I could be happy with this store.

Por las tardes se pone un carrito rojo que vende Hotdogs estilo Los Mochis, churros con lechera, platanos machos y papas francesas. Los hotdogs estan muy ricos y bien servidos, los churros te los hacen al instante. Se llaman Dogos.

I stopped in here to check it out one afternoon. Nice selection of goods for sale. Place is relatively clean to other stores I have been to. It is organized so it is easy to find things. They also sell food to eat here or take away. Looking at what people were buying, it looked and smelled good.

Regularly stop here to buy flowers for my mother’s grave when I visit because the arrangements are always generous and fresh and you can buy them on Sundays.
Love their hot line deli counter with common Mexican meats and other goodies. Always good and verified by the nearly exclusive Latino patronage. Plus a few gringos like me.
Prices are very reasonable and you can get most all common Mexican spices and herbs, like various dried chilies.
Don’t be scared… everyone, to include the customers are very nice wanting to help you out.

This is my go to place when I want to cook some good Mexican food and I’m in a hurry. The check stands are speedy as speedy Gonzales and the staff is super friendly.
They sell carnitas daily and their empanadas filled with cream cheese and jalapeños are to die for.
Go ahead eat one. Good huh? Now buy a pound of carnitas, two more empanadas and stuff the carnitas in the empanadas. Get some of their store made salsa, and drizzle it on the empanada with some sour cream and some lettuce. Add some avocado, a few grains of salt on the avocado. Put in in your mouth, chew. BAM! You just had a mouthgazm. Yes, it is a medical fact. Look it up.
They also sell tacos, and mexican Coke. Yes!!! The one that has real sugar cane sugar!!! :D
This is a little corner market just like the abarrotes you would find in any little mexican town. Only bigger, cleaner, and with more selection.

I love this place!!! If you are looking for the best marinated carne asada, you’ll find it at La Bodega Market. Its bakery (mexican bread) is really good too. They also have mexican food to go and is delicious. :P
I personally recommend this place!!!

yesterday i bought Pollo de Adobada & Pollo Asada… two different salsa’s, crema, and guac… all from their kitchen… oh ya. and chips… yum!!!
eating tonight… cant wait!!!
we have bought the pork Adaobada before… super delish flavor, but a bit dry… i think the Chicken version will be even better
oh ya… they do NOT take Amex… so be sure to have your visa =) i keep one in my wallet for these instances

I really like the salsa fresca. The Chula Vista (La Bodega) carne asada tastes really good probably the best in San Diego. I would probably just go to the Chula Vista location because although I was told that all the meat is packaged and distributed from the San Ysidro’s main location to the other La Bodega branches it tasted better when I purchased a bag from La Bodega in Chula Vista. The San Ysidro carne asada tasted salty, it might have just been a bad batch.

This is my favorite carnicería in the area. The marinated carne asada is the best and is only between 2.49−2.99 depending on the day. Everything there is super cheap and they have tortillas that they make there… nice and hot. Authentic mexican food and the best place to go if you’re making some carne asada!
I’ve never had a problem with parking, ever. The people that work there seem pretty friendly, I’ve answered any questions I’ve had for them.

This used to be the Playco Toy Store, sad that this is not a improvement. The building is too small for a store this size. Delivery trucks all hours of the day parking on the sidewalk and the red zones, Traffic from walmart has made going to the corner of broadway and oxford a living hell with people going in/​out of this place retarded, they cross traffic and don’t know how to drive. Let alone vendors selling crap in their parking lot making traffic halting for people to stop and buy stuff.
