Supermarkets near Cathedral City, CA

“Julie E. Was very helpful and check out and explaining the card app as a family of four doing our weekly grocery shopping it’s not my favorite task of the week but when we have a happy cashier, it gets everybody in a good mood”

“This market, though a lot smaller than Cardenas, does a lively business in Cat City - our demo is about 60% Hispanic, who have certain tastes and demands that major supermarket chains don't meet very well. For you other gringos I'll translate their sign: "Carniceria" means "butcher shop," "Panaderia" means "bakery," and "Cocina" means "kitchen." This is the closest market to me, I've been in dozens of times over the past six years and have never had a bad experience. PRODUCE: Walk in and turn left - because any grocery trip should always start with produce! Their prices for that are always, always good and their weekly specials are often amazing. Nothing organic, but it's not that kind of place. Finding fresh roasted peanuts in the shell can be nearly impossible at major supermarkets - they're almost always old - but at Hispanic markets the opposite is true as long as you're getting the kind in the produce area that are in clear plastics bags. Those not familiar with Mexican peanuts might at first think there's something wrong with them because the shells are covered with dark spots, but those are just char spots from roasting! For health reasons I'm not supposed to eat peanuts, but I've kept it pretty rare - and I still think they're far healthier than processed snacks like Doritos; so if you're going to be bad then be "less bad" and do your snack binge on the cheap as well. BAKERY: It's full service for cake ordering, etc. - they seem to make mainly Mexican sweet breads but other more typical items too, like donuts. Back when I cheated more often I had their chocolate donuts a few times, always fresh and good. Now, walk towards the east end of the store, past the registers and through the short narrow aisles of packaged, dairy, and frozen foods - you'll only get something from those out of convenience because it's all as high priced as at any other local mart. BUTCHER: It's always smelled good - no bad meat or strong fishy smells - so they pass the main test right off. Great friendly personal service and weekly specials. They don't sell any pastured meat/poultry so I've bought their meat rarely, but it was always good. KITCHEN: In the back they make tons of very good corn and flour tortillas daily, sold at prices that can't be beat, and have a restaurant area too - the menu's all in Spanish but you can order by the pictures on it. It pains me to say this, because I don't like Google, but right now you'd have to look at the over 100 reviews on Google to see how good this store actually is. Here on Yelp there are only a few so far, mostly ranters. Ignore them - there are good reasons that this store stays busy.”

“Really enjoy shopping at Aldi but wish they had longer hours. The other food stores are more available, even the Palm Springs Aldi has longer hours than the Palm Desert and La Quinta Aldi. The heat in the desert really affects my shopping trips!”

“The staff here are just wonderful. Always friendly and when I recently had a concern regarding safety (nothing to do with the store but happening in parking lot), the staff didn’t hesitate to swiftly take action (which was so unnecessary but just shows how wonderful they are)! Always find great stuff at great prices. I truly hope management knows how wonderful their staff are !!”

“There's a rumor going around, these guys serve the best Fried Chicken in the Coachella Valley. I went in there today to see if it was true. Guess what? It's true...! Supposedly once they sell out it's off the menu for the rest of the day. Just don't let it get around because I'll be sad if I see an empty chicken pan.”

“Great grocery store for budget finds. Produce is usually excellent and priced well. This store does not always have everything in stock and it's better to go in the morning if you want the best selection. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“It's nice shopping experience because I know where most of my list is located usaully, and there's usaully not enough people to make me feel suffocated lol self check out is also a plus”
