Vallarta vs. Northgate: Who REALLY Runs L.A.?!?

[@Guatdefook]

This is history I did not know. I'm glad to see it today!

[@mrxman581]

We have both stores in about a 5 mile radius of Boyle Heights, East LA, Pico Rivera, and Downey.

[@miggyloks]

I like both of these Markets!!

[@boaffliction]

Tokyo Central AKA Marukai!!

[@kennethscalir3092]

There are no Northgate locations in the San Fernando Valley. Another regional Hispanic market is El Super. Los Angeles County does not have any Cardenas Markets locations

[@Goldeal]

Northgate is what I know for all my LA folks 213/323 area. Vallarta is for the Valley folks in the 818.

[@mjwbulich]

Pretty much. It looks like they decided not to complete against each other. Vallarta gets the Valley, and Northgate gets South LA.

[@ericcarson342]

It might be a wise choice to merge. Vallarta absolutely dominates the Valley. But you have others competing with Northgate. Vallarta gobbles up mom and pop as well as National chains and Food 4 Less specifically.

[@dal3rious]

Evan, how did they decide to plant palm trees on Sherman Way?

[@puckingrufus56]

The Northgate in Costa Mesa is like a Mercado it's has EVERYTHING you could ever want food wise.

[@ac-uk6hs]

Another great one....maybe next super 8?....

[@nativepride101]

Super A?.

[@LinneaSanchez]

I remember Tianguis in Montebello

[@rosaspanjol673]

Very interesting story !….Thank you🙏

[@waterboxer87]

I didn't know about Northgate until I watched this video. It's Vallarta all around me. Love the ceviche and carne asada tortas. I always buy a Vampiro drink when I shop there.

[@cesarjkd8379]

Northgate is in Boyle heights & Vallarta is in East la

[@limited50scla]

D.E.P. Miguel Angel Gonzalez Yup that’s a homage jacket for his father.

[@NoBueno411]

Dang great video ❤

[@clementcooley4359]

Both those markets are really great places to get Mexican take out from their deli depts.. The other major supermarkets don't offer it.

[@Joemama13479]

She was your homegirl helper 😂😂😂😂

[@aelievense]

LA’s greatest hype man ❤

[@nlpnt]

They have SoCal divvied up like the Aldi-Equator in Germany.

[@killerjunior310]

Vallarta is more into Pomona Ontario Northgate market is more la but have superior market with sucks ass expired food and drinks etc but both are good here

[@donbergas1655]

Vallarta !

[@MIKExMASSACREx]

Vallarta is actually better tho where im from there’s tons of north gates, south LA. But there’s one Vallarta here in Downey and its way better than Northgate lol

[@winwin6661]

Top value was the real Mexican store in California too bad that store is no more

[@Bbmangood]

The sad thing is even though that is a really beautiful Mexican supermarket Vallarta it has low quality food. I went shopping there and they don’t carry any and I mean any organic stuff nothing. Very sad because Mexicans and Latin Americans work very hard and they deserve organic food to.

[@boardcertifiable]

But not at organic prices. 🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@letsdothis6274]

Next.. Cardenas Markets (Del Real Foods) and Superior Markets (Korean founder)

[@Beefunk1]

Superior Runs L.A

[@MrWeliz]

Korean owned

[@pathhollywood]

And force immigrants to spend 10% of their checks to cash them at their stores while never offering true fee free banking!

[@popeyesailor8744]

I’m sure it’s not forced, plus they buy groceries which most likely they were going to buy anyways

[@hamradiotimes5586]

Cartel owned and operated.

[@peterwelby]

Food4Less

[@Luke.Cooking]

El Super

[@sebastianmuglia7451]

Stater BROS

[@LAmonk76]

Wish they had more Stater's west of the 605.

[@DonoVideoProductions]

Trader Joes.

[@pathhollywood]

They both lauder money for the cartels, please do your homework before glorifying shady business!
