I really like this store, my whole family always comes here to buy Latin American things that they dont have in many stores. This time I came with some friends and we had some beers, the cashier asked for my ID, I showed it to her and she didnt want to sell me the beers because my ID was fake until she was taught well how to look at the dates and years in which I turned 21 she was very rude and I threw my ID and fell on the floor this had never happened to me in this store whenever I came here they treated me very well the cashiers are very kind I do not understand what happened that day but they should teach their employees to know the dates when someone is over 21 years old.
Love the tickets shows the originating country of the goods. Helps a lot for us to learn about new tasty food.
Everything I require is available in the store, and everything is reasonably priced. I enjoy shopping there for meat, canned goods, and other items.
Tons of different Hispanic cultures in one grocery store I love it! Super cool they have so much stuff
I like this Supermarket very much because I can find some food for my native country and also the employees are very helpful.
It has great foods from all over the world. Wonderful selection. We love to come here and pick out treats that you cant find anywhere else.
The greatest variety of foods and products from all over Central and South America, not just 1 or 2 countries. Love this place.
Fun place to shop. My sister likes the yerba mate. Lots of good spice mixes. Carries a wonderful packaged brand of chocolate alfajores!!
Truly the best fresh pork rinds with meat attached☺
This market used to be my favorite!! I would go in early to get the Gordita with the rotisserie chicken. It was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever eaten. Since covid, they no longer provide prepared food. But if you have a craving for a food or drink from a Latin American country, this is your favorite lace to go in San Jose. I hope they start serving food again soon!!
Its been my first visit today, and its certainly not going to be my last! Really nice service, theyve got a little bit of everything. I was shocked by all the items they were offering. The staffs were so welcoming and friendly. The room was so spacious as well as the aisle. Im so excited to be shopping in this store again.
Nice Hispanic/latino store. You can find lots of products at reasonable prices.
Best market been shopping there withy parents as a grown woman and now my kids more than 30 years
Kind of pricey.but everything is fresh.. the meat is fresh and fruits and veggies...
The reason I loved this store was a huge and spacious grocery store. I like coming in here because of their fresh vegetables, fish, meat and fruit. The salad section was huge. They had all sorts of salad. You cant get confused here because the mark is transparent and visible to read. Wonderful store!
Expires thing.. They dont check that...😥
Best place to buy Argentine foods in the area
I remember this spot from my childhood. It is okay, but could use some love. They have plenty of parking but not enough land so youll be parking at an awkward slant.
Great place, ladys was nice and special Beatriz she help me in everything
Have a variety of Latin America grocery items. Great selection of meats
This grocery store near our house is one of my favorites because it sells a wide range of new fruits and vegetables! And what I like about this store is that they still make sure that the latest models are on sale, rather than the outdated ones! Especially if youre looking for fresh produce, this place is a must-visit!
Alfajores basically my reason for living and this place has my drug
Here, delicious delicious food and coffee and look closely at the wall art light installations. The walk down town is a famous local place and very worthwhile.
You can find anything you need,they have products from south and central America, Mexico, customer service are very nice
Great variety of South American goodies.
The parking area is really good and grocery supplies are of good quality. And also, theres not much of a wait at the counter. I like the fresh seafood section and the can goods section. Highly recommended!
It was very clean. Customer service was excellent. Its good to find medical stuff over the counter
Best place to go. The have so much food diversity.
The Covid response here is great and this supermarket is always stocked with the Latin favorites Im looking for. I have never had a bad experience here and it is one of the best Latino businesses in all of San Jose!
Came here to by some meat Im from Oakley. I knew the meat was going to high I like the marinated meats OMG! 10.99 a pound! Crazy will buy. The meat in town now were. I can afford it. Still a good store thou
Horrible supermarket.They dont have anything in stock and.Customer service is really bad.
I think its very good there is a variety of Latin products
For the past 25 years I have received outstanding customer service. Thank you so much
The best place to shop friendly employees
Great friendly market with excellent meats and produce.
Park in womens restrooms clean
I been going here for many year because the owner and his son are very very friendly an very nice to bad that some of his employees are not the meat department theres only 1 guy his name is Mario and he is very nice and there is another guy I dont remember his name but hes the one that puts up the supply make sure everything is in order and hes been there for a long time ever since I been going there keep up the good work you just need to get friendly cashier 🤷♀️
Your one stop shop for latin grocery needs. I came looking for Guava paste, not only do they carry it but they had a few different sizes and brands. Each isle is catagorised by country.
Everything peruvian I found it
Alit of choices 👌
Best place to have. Food. From all latinoamerica
Soda we bought from this place was expired.Customer service is very poor, they dont even offer a restroom, even thought they should because its a grocery store.
My favorite place to shop colombian food
Best place to find Puerto Rican products
Get my mexican grocery here when Im feeling authentic
Great variety of latin foods.
This is not just a provincial Mexican market. It is a brilliant Latin American market with a humble facade. My wife is from Argentina. She buys all things Argentine there.
Best Masa for tamelas
They’re have expired food so be aware!
Didnt have what I was looking for. Homeless person asking for money near front entrance.
Great service and good product
One stop shop for salvadorean tortillas
They have the best chicharonnes in the area, hands down. And the employees are super nice as well. I love this place
Was good like always but they dont have my favorite guatemalan beer famosa 😭😭✍✍🍺🍺
The brands not easily found are here. Not just Goya products.
Ok
You can find Maltin Polar and Cachapas there.
Always liked coming to this store when I lived in the area. They have all kinds of goodies from all over central and south america. 😊😊😋👌❤Hood bakery too.
Its a family style market and deli, not Safeway so keep that in mind. The product line is geared toward the Latino community so you wont find fresh mushrooms for instance.And no shaving cream either, although they do sell razors. That curiosity cost them a star.
We love going to Chaparral since we always find all sort of merchandise from our home country. Its interesting how they rise prices ever time. They could do a better job at that.
They got Colombian food! It has been really hard for me to find food that is typical from my home country, so I love this place! They got the goodies.
Gave wrong directions and got me lost
First time i found a tea to help me sleep and cheap too.
Loved it!!!!!! Nice people good food
Good.variety of products, friendly staff but its too pricey for my like. Im not that homesick, prices are sometimes 3X the original price
There used to be more variety before...
Amazing international supermarket. They have things from all different countries.Big variety of Yerba and Dulce de Leche...love this place
I will never buy tomatoes there again. For 1 tomato was $2,31 thats for 1. Unbelievable!!! Ive should of know there vegetables are expensive.
Excellent Latin products
The store is family owned and operated and i have been a customer for 35 yrs. Ive also watched the now manager Jesus grow up from a young boy. He is very personable and welcoming. The store offers a large variety of items catering yo the gispanic community. So if your looking for ethnic faire cgapparal is the place to go
They have a good variety of latin american foods.
Great selections, okay prices. If youre having trouble finding ingredients for some Latin-American recipe, they probably have what you need here. If you dont see it, ask and theyll pull it out of somewhere.
Nice market to buy Mexican food
I HAVE NOT BEEN IN THAT STORE IN OVER TWO MONTH THE MEXICAN MARKET ARE VERY HIGH IN COST WITH THERE FOOD
They have tons of Spanish food and groceries at this place. La Raza has milk, though, and they take EBT, which means I can still shop there.
Produce is horrible. The meat isnt any better. They have a very good variety of beer.
Love this store
They let me use the bathroom. Thanks!
One of the few supermarkets where you can find truly LATIN ingredients for your recipes than only mexican food. I found good things from Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, argentina. Highly recommended. Its expensive, but if you die for some food from your country, youll pay for that.
Good variety of products from all over Latin America. Only play Ive found that regularly carries Yerba Mate. They also have fresh produce, meats and herbs.
Always good Good costumer service very friendly staff
Uff woow
Ive been a customer since my family would bring me here as a child. This was once a lively, clean, friendly place with one of the best bakeries for fresh pan dulce, cookies, and bread. Sadly, Chaparral has fallen apart. Im unsure if it is under new ownership but between the flies, unfriendly staff, and the removal of the bakery, I only go there for speciality items that I prefer to order through Amazon. Bring back the bakery and clean up the Chaparral and they can be great again.
The items are way over priced. And the store needs repairing so bad
Only place I can find the Products of my country. They are friendly people.
The besr central American super market in San Jose. Its kitchen has Topical Mexican antojitos and delicious pupusas.
They have a decent selection of Latin American food. I love their bakery. Silvia is hospitable and a great addition to Chaparral Supermarket.
Exelent costumer srvice, lots of thing fron Central Amrica!
Good
Wonderful market! With a great selection of international products in special South and Central America.
I love their products and the people are very nice.
Super friendly and I love the people here!
I went last week to chaparral and I find they sele alot of things from Brasil
A pretty good place to shop the owner of the store is really nice Father and Son owner
This place is great for Latino food ingredients. Esp. Colombian!
Excellent variaty of foreign countries.Prices a little high compared with other places.
Best Mexican products and take out food is very good
Great place! They actually close at 8pm
