Let’s Talk Tamales

Redlands Ranch Market, unknown to me for far too long, has become my go-to shopping spot for all of my grocery needs. I recently moved to the area from Portland, Oregon, where it’s hard to go more than a couple of miles without seeing an international market of some sort. I was a regular at more than one of them because none of them seemed to have it all. Once I moved to the area, it took me a couple of months to find Ranch Market but they really have it all! It’s not just the place I go for international foods; I can do all of my grocery shopping at Redlands Ranch Market, which is a rarity at an International Market. And the Cocina in the back of the store is hard to beat.

Redlands Ranch Market always offers high-quality food at low prices. I particularly love the variety of Mexican dishes that they offer. These are freshly made in their very own kitchen. And all the items on the menu come with a fair price. There are also Weekly Mexican Kitchen Specials. These always keep me coming back to Redlands Ranch Market for their signature items without hesitation. Additionally, people who work at Redlands Ranch Market are very friendly and helpful. Their excellent service has a significant impact on my shopping experience. When I often find myself confused about certain products, the staff is always happy to help me and answer my questions with great patience.

 I have been a shopper at Red lands Ranch Market for years. But there are a few things that keep me coming back. First, I’m crazy about their fresh produce, sold at an amazing price. When I shop at any other market, I am always mentally comparing their prices against Red lands Ranch Market, and no one comes close in savings. Another aspect that keeps me coming back is their bakery. It is hard to find such delicious and diverse desserts. My favorite is the flan. I’ve never gone shopping there and not walked out with a serving of flan. It's sweet, creamy, and smooth texture is perfect. Recently, they’ve added bulk bins, and I’ve found some amazing savings on grains and teas.

As a family man, it is important for me to provide my family with good food at a reasonable price. At the Ranch Market, we can enjoy a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as hard-to-find fruits and vegetables for our healthy lifestyle. That is the main reason we shop at the Ranch Market. We also love the great juice bar, the really cool tortillaria, and the restaurant inside the store serves up great, hot, Mexican food style meals.

At my house, we take our tortillas seriously. They serve as great packaging for on-the-go meals, can be rolled, wrapped, and folded in any way you please and are an asset to our daily breakfast burritos. So when my husband and I moved to California, we dreamed of the day that we’d find our “tortilla guy.” And it was in the corner of Red lands Ranch Market, where we found the stacks of tortillas that would mark our newfound tortilleria! This glorious discovery helped make our new home more familiar and seemed representative of our establishment here. This all may sound silly, but this truly was a rare find. And I promise these tortillas are better and fresher than those you’ll see on the shelves.
