el portal market

This market opens early. Has great deli foods, good coffee, comfortable environment and friendly staff. Got supplies for day hikes there 3 days in a row. They seemed to know what we needed, and even just had a hankerin for. If you didn't stock up before getting to the park....you won't be disappointed when you stop here.

Fantastic sandwiches, pastas and salads. Stock up before or after the park and save yourself a fortune paying in over priced restaurants with food that really isn't that great. Grab some beers, ciders or wine too and dont forget bottles of water!

Real good selection for a little deli. We were able to get lunch and fruit here and some gluten-free things

Spent $25.00 on two steaks and 2 baking potatoes, and misc. items. Ask for 3 butter packets of butter for potatoes and they charged us 15 cent apiece for them. Wow, things are bad!!

Love this market, fresh food made daily, fresh coffee, and lots of store good available which are ideal for buying eating or storing and cooking later back in your motel...a wee oasis in the heat! Once discovered you'll shop for dinner here rather than eat out

We would stop there every morning for coffee and breakfast. The hotel was expensive for not so great coffee and breakfast on day one we found this place and kept going back!

The El Portal Market looks like a typical small gas station/grocery store, but when you begin to wander its aisles, you'll see quite a difference. Sure, you can stock up on the usual junk, but you can also buy organics, whole grains, and healthier foods, including a reasonable selection of meats and produce. On our visit, much of the produce was not particularly fresh looking, and we passed on much of it. I'm not sure if it was a refrigeration problem, or things were just beyond their prime freshness. For those of you who indulge, they have a nice selection of beers and wines at reasonable prices. Service is friendly and neighborly. All in all the Market is a nice find in an area that has few options for groceries.

Very convenient and close to park entrance. Gas prices outrageously high but only gas around. Good general store, has a little of everything.

The service here is excellent. They have a wide variety of food stuff. Fresh, frozen and prepared sandwiches, salads, breakfast stuff. Great place to shop when you visit Yosemite National Park.

This market saved us lots of money. We bought eggs/sausage for a hearty breakfast, noodles for the kids (some dinners) which we could cook in our room at Yosemite View Lodge (1 mile away) and beverages, including beer which was very reasonable and decent selection. We purchased their great homemade and fresh sandwiches for some of our hikes, made sandwiches for other hikes, and they offered filling and tasty salads too. There were a few foods for vegetarians as well. They had fruit and veggies too, and my son loved the small red pears. Overall, this place was fantastic considering where you are at. Staff were friendly, and in the long run, it saved us from spending more money on restaurant breakfasts, and lunches. Yes, prices are higher than what they are in Modesto, but did you see any Walmart superstores on the drive in? If you are so concerned with the cost, pack a cooler and buy some of your staples on your drive into that area, especially before the roads get curvy and the the towns get sparse.

This market has all the basics, but because of it's location prices were very high. Stock up with groceries before you leave civilization, and bring a big cooler. Milk was $6 a gallon, cereal $6-$7 a box, and gasoline was $4.98 a gallon. (not unlike other service stations close to or in the park)A handy store, but expensive.

They have a good selection of sandwiches and other items for you to purchase so you will not go hungry.
