Great deli! Stop by to pick up the most delicious roast chicken, whole or butterflied, I always choose the butterflied. Typically we use the breast and wings the first night and I turn the dark meat into the best soup ever! Perfectly spiced and delicious.Carnitas are top-notch as are all of their pork choices.

Great customer service, food and products at this Mexican store. I love the guisados and aguachiles in the deli and cremeria sections. Can’t leave without trying the fruta picada and other antojitos. Weekends it’s really busy so might be a little difficult to find parking but they do have a big parking lot.

This place was the best but somewhere they stopped caring about cleanliness and customers. The fruit place has turned into a joke compared to what it was.

It was busy. I asked the man at the meat counter for some marinated beef and he said they only had pork and chicken. I tried to clarify that they didnt have beef but he kept saying no. My mistake. Dont go in unless you speak Spanish. My daughter said ask for marinada Carne asada. It was served right up. The cashier was the same way, no English. Lines were very long to get served and to check out. Never go in on Sunday. My son in law is mexican and he wont go on Sundays.

This store is so much more than just a Mexican Market! Theres something for everybody ! I absolutely love their produce, I would describe all of it as perfect! I have never purchased a bad avocado, orange, onion or potato, in fact, I actually saved an avocado I had cut open to show my family because it was so beautiful, I didnt want to damage it by eating it! The meat counter in this store is huge with an amazing variety and selection. The Carne Asada is so moist and tasty, I will NEVER purchase it anywhere else again! There is also a parfait and smoothie bar that has a Strawberry and Cream Parfait to die for, and the bakery area is also large with amazing cakes and pasties at very low prices.. you cant shop at this store without bringing home a few treats! What I would have to say is my favorite thing about this store, however, is the customer service! Everybody is so friendly and helpful and they make you feel so welcomed and appreciated! I dont speak Spanish, but I dont need to understand what they say to me, I understand how they make me feel, which is VALUED and that is a rare emotion to feel in the retail arena these days.

I have contacted the Health & Safety Department to make sure our humble Hispanic/Latino community is treated rightfully & respectfully after this store failed to ensure consumer products are not expired & safe to consume. I requested an investigation on their poor practices.(BELOW IS A COPY OF THE FORMAL COMPLAINT)Director, Public HealthMultnomah County Public Health Administrator, Interim Director, Health Department, Health Officer Multnomah County, OregonTri-County Health Officer, Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington CountiesTo whom it may concern:I reach out to you in an attempt to review an incident where a store knowingly sells products that have been poorly refrigerated and have expired upon the shelf before the expiration date.La Tapatia Market at 18330 SE Stark St, Portland, OR 97233 refuses to honor a full refund or exchange for the product.I purchased 3 Jelley Brown Mi Avenita oat drinks which were visibly expired and clearly not consumable. I can’t imagine how many customers consumed products here that have not been refrigerated or stored properly.I’m certain customers have to endure poor management behavior just like I did since Luis with management mocked and ridiculed me upon my complaint about the product. This is a sign they have been doing this for a very long time while turning customers down and dismissing the dilemma while profiting off the customers loss. Also, this hasn’t been the only incident myself, friends and family have purchased products that haven’t been edible from this store. Most of the time it’s been dismissed and product simply gets thrown out. This is unacceptable. This store is in dire need of a visit from The Health Department to ensure they are complying with health & safety regulations.

Every other weekend we come out to have this amazing variety Mexican sweet bread and at the entrance of the store they prep up delicious Frappuccino, fresh fruit cups that if you request lime and spices that go with it, fresh fruit shakes they can also add cinnamon sugar and ice if you request it, corn on a Cobb they prep it up for you with including spices if you request it, prep up chips to your desire, and prep my favorite crunchy flat chicharron with everything except those white strip things instead I purchase the ham located at meat section so the ladies can slice half pound of original ham. It includes chicharron, shredded cabbage, tomatoes, sour cream, Mexican fresh white cheese, avocado, and my separate purchase in the same store the original FUD ham thinly sliced. Light salsa Valentina to add some spicy Yum.

This market is what dreams are made of. From handmade tortillas bagged up and steaming in a hot case, to the salsas, the ensaladas, the amazing meat counter, the 3ft chicharrónes, the cheeses, the snacks, to the cabinet of Mexican pastries in back. The staff is great. The shop is great. And there’s a taco shop in the very back. What else do you want?

Review β„–58

Their bakery section is incredible. Super fresh, well made pastries in glass cases, most are .99 cents each, compared to Portland bakeries, where you may be paying $3 a pastry. They have French style and Mexican pastries that are super crisp and light. I love getting the marinated chicken al pastor, fresh tortilla chips, the shrimp ceviche and delicious salsa, the chicharron de carne. Their deli counter is so good. If you love trying different kinds of foods, this is the place for you.

I never made it into the store, the little stand out front caught my attention from the street. I was greeted with a bright smile and quickly talked into a green tamale then handed a red one to go with it and couldn’t pass up the cup of corn with all the extras.The beautiful lady outside making tamales made my day and if I’m ever back in the area you will find me here getting one of the best tamales I’ve ever had and I have had a lot to compare it to. I wish the best for this little place and the lady working there.
