John's Market on the corner of Valley & Vera in Eden Gardens, Solana Beach is our #1 go to now! They have a grocery store of fresh fruits, vegetables, pan rolls, fresh made tortillas, meats, fresh homemade chorizo with NO PRESERVATIVES, eggs, Mexican spices, creams and so much more! This is a new establishment opening in 2022. As another reviewer stated, skip Gelson's, Von's or Sprouts and give this traditional place a try. This is a family business. Mom, sister and brother John all work here and they are so nice and happy to help you. They also serve breakfast and lunch 7 days a week. Saturday mornings they make fresh carnitas starting at 4am. They start selling it at 7am and it's sold out by noon! We ordered the shrimp and the breakfast burrito today and we were so happy we did. My BF told me this was the best burrito he has ever eaten. Not only that, we both only ate half because it's so big! We now have another meal. We will no longer be frequenting Mexico Viejo. This grocery store and restaurant will be getting our business moving forward! Give them a try!
Had a nice little breakfast sandwich and coffee. Five Star Service by John the cashier. He was pleasant, more than helpful, and welcoming. I’m going back tomorrow to Thank John and to order the Mexican sweet coffee.

This place is my go to market for anything I need mid week. They have quality produce, amazing tortillas, and every flavor of Jarritos. Skip Sprouts. Definitely skip Vons. Come to John's.
My kid introduced me to this small shop. He would go here for burritos (attached to the grocery store) after hanging out in La Colonia park. If you live anywhere near, you are missing out if you haven't visited.
Did I mentioned the owners are super nice too.
Really small neighborhood Mexican store and eatery. Went in for breakfast. Excellent . Visiting the area, staying very close to the store.

I rated this place on the breakfast sandy’s alone. I believe the meal I had was the Breakfast Burrito Deluxe, it was the everything in it breakfast masterpiece. I would probably have been more cognizant of what the menu item was called, had I not been in heaven over this choice!
Let me put it this way, if Pipes in Cardiff has the best breakfast sandwich I have ever tasted, & I rated that a five, and any drive through fast food McDonald’s or Burger King has a breakfast sandwich that I would rate a one, then this was a 5+! Add to that the homemade salsa verde (Which I would eat off of an old shoe if it has this deliciousness on top of it), and I will be back plenty.
John’s restaurant is attached to a market which also sells the homemade salsa and pico de gallo, with a great small selection of produce and other Mexican accoutrements. Love everything about this place. Brother and sister owned, very friendly. If you like your coffee sweet, try the Mexican blend. Loved my Sunday morning here. This fine little Mexican establishment gets four Irish clovers 🍀🍀🍀🍀
