North Gate Market No 3

This is NOT a Northgate Gonzalez Market. It's a local bodega that sells groceries and meat. Small selection but a one stop shop for your next carnita asada

I’ve been trying to reach the owner for months, but the staff there say they don’t have his number and don’t know when he’ll be in. It’s frustrating, especially since it seems like one of the employees might be preventing him from making more money due to her dislike for certain female customers.

The restaurant is a bit on the small side, but the prices are quite high, which doesn't really benefit the community.

The restaurant had a cool vibe overall, but I find myself curious about one thing: why do they have armed security? Would they actually resort to violence over someone stealing food?

This location is one of the original stores and hasn’t had any renovations. I find it too dark and cramped for my taste. However, it does have an authentic vibe. I would prefer to drive to the Buena Park location instead.
