Vallarta Supermarkets is a full-service independent grocery chain, founded in 1985,  with 52 locations throughout California. Its Pasadena location now occupies the former Vons Market location at Fair Oaks and Orange Grove.

 “Food delivery is something that our customers have been asking for, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mark Montelongo, vice president, meat, seafood and La Cocina. “Postmates is making it convenient and safe to have our tacos, burritos and other menu options at the door.

Montelongo also pointed to the freshness and quality factor of their food delivery, saying, “We’ve worked hard with our operations teams to ensure customers get the high-quality La Cocina items they’ve come to expect.”

On average, Postmates can deliver within 45 minutes. Customers can also order ahead via the Postmates app and pick-up orders in-store. The market has already provided a dedicated Postmates pick-up window at La Cocina.

La Cocina is Vallarta’s in-house Mexican kitchen where traditional foods are prepared, cooked fresh daily and ready for purchase. The La Cocina menu includes Carne Asada Burritos, Birria de res, Taquiza packs, Tamales, Caldos (soups), Horchata, Pupusas, fresh Guacamole, premium tortilla chips, Tres Leches cake, Champurrado, fresh-squeezed juices, and more.
