Just my opinion, but I like MEGA best. Just seems to have good variety, nice produce and they also do samples- (ha-ha) Which is good when you have just gotten off a plane.

My vote is the Mega. You will find everything you need and it is very clean and new. Be sure and get the donuts.

Five or six years ago, before Mega, and Soriana was Gigante, we went to Walmart for all the stuff you talk about. Then Mega came along, and Soriana took over Gigante and started competing with Mega, we never go to Walmart anymore!

Bottom line....you will get everything you need at Mega, and the odd trip to Soriana is worth it. Happy shopping.

Not to be critical of anyone, but just offering a little history.

Mega built a new store about 5 or 6 years ago.

They were an anchor store at La Gran Plaza for at least 15 years before they built there own freestanding store. They first operated under their parent company name, Comercial Mexicana, and then switched to the Mega name about 5 years before they built.

For what it's worth.

Regardless of the history, when Mega opened their new store they transformed the market for us gringos in the Golden Zone. It remains the best one-stop shopping option for short-term visitors.

I just did a little research and was surprised to find out the new Mega store opened in January 2008. It sure seems like it has been there longer than that.

Either the former store or the new Mega have been our favorite for many years. I think the old store was slightly larger however.
