El Lucero Market

El Lucero Market is a family-owned and operated Mexican Panadería, Convenience Store and Deli, located in Lodi, California. For decades, its owners Jesus and Teresa Lopez have served the Central Valley of CA, providing traditional Mexican dishes, products, and goodies for people to enjoy.

It all started when Teresa and Jesus first opened Don Jose’s Market & Tortilleria in Stockton, known today as the local staple and supply to many restaurants, food trucks, and top choice for large local events. In 2004 the couple decided to open El Lucero Market, bringing a little piece of México’s traditions and delicious food into the USA. 

Knowing the Lodi area, they saw the need to feed workers who started their day very early in the morning and didn’t have a store where they could buy breakfast, lunch, or a quick snack before getting to work. Following that instinct, their Mexican Market quickly became a real “Lucero” for the hungry customers who were looking for a hot, delicious breakfast at 4:30 am. 

Today, El Lucero Market is a community staple for the entire city of Lodi. You can find anything you are looking for, from hot Mexican food, like burritos, tamales, and tortillas, to groceries and snacks of all sorts, and of course, their famous traditional Mexican bakery, which makes the best pan dulce in town.

In El Lucero, the day starts with an authentic flavor fiesta. The most delicious Mexican baked goods and pan dulce you’ve ever tasted are here, baked fresh daily in the best Mexican panadería on the way from Stockton to Sacramento. If you are feeling hungry, try El Lucero’s unique traditional dishes to-go, like Burritos, Tortas, Tortilla, Chile Relleno, Chile Verde, and much more! The Deli is open daily Monday through Sunday. Stop by and grab a coffee, a burrito, tamale, or all of the above! Everything is authentic, handmade, and prepared fresh daily.
