This review is only for the meat market section…read more I've been coming here for literally decades, although it had been a while since my last visit. In the past, this was the place to go if you wanted that old-school butcher shop experience and some of the best carne asada around. Unfortunately, my visit yesterday was disappointing. The meat selection seemed mediocre compared to what I remember. The carne asada was cut into small pieces (around 6 inches across) and was already pre-marinated. Years ago, the cuts were much larger, making them easier to grill and far more visually appealing. Back then, if you wanted it marinated, they would do it fresh for about $1 more per pound. That level of service made a difference. The young man behind the counter also gave me the impression that he really didn't care about my concerns, which only added to the disappointment. After cooking it, the carne asada just wasn't the same. It seemed dry and lacked the flavor and quality I had always associated with this market. I'm willing to give them one more chance in case this was just an off day. But if my next experience is the same, it will unfortunately be my last visit.

Heard this place had a great breakfast so decided to stop by…read more Had the breakfast sandwich and the Smoked Bologna sandwich. Both were HUGE! I'd definitely recommend both. Please note they are a tad greasy and again, large. So don't come in for just a snack! The meat on both were the superstars. They also are a full butchery (they even have a subscription box!). So there are meats in the case and marinated options galore. We came for breakfast but left with some chicken and red meat options for dinner this week. It's a tad expensive for both sandwiches and the meats but all in all seem right for the quality. Service was also fast and friendly. Very knowledgeable and ready to help. We got street parking but there's also a small lot it's attached to. There's some counter seating outside you can eat at once you order. Would def recommend!

We got there just in time to order before they stop taking orders. We ordered: 1 Dry Aged Burger 1 Roast Beef Sandwich 1 Double Cheeseburger 2 beverages The customer service here is great. The food was absolutely delicious. I wish that they had an indoor seating spot or some umbrella coverage on the patio dining section. They have an "Ox Box" monthly meat club. They prepare 10lbs of premium meat cuts and package it up in the Ox Box. We talked to the gentleman who took our order and we may sign up. Pickup of Ox Boxes is the 3rd Thursday of each month. Check this place out. The burgers and sandos are OUTSTANDING! Thanks

I wanted to make pizza so I got the spicy Italian & pepperoni sausages for it, and both of them were soooo tasty. Three sausages + the $6 basil pesto totaled a little over $18. Of course $12 for three sausages isn't particularly sustainable for a lot of us, but when it's a special occasion or you're wanting to treat yourself, it's very worth it :) The staff is great, and the place is located in an area a lot of parking and close to balboa. The basil pesto was also really yummy, I added a little lemon to it because I love a little more citrus in mine and it really made all the flavors pop.

He found tortas, burritos, tortillas, salsa. He said everyone was very nice to him. He doesn't speak Spanish (not even a little). He has given up so much for me this week and to see him happy about a torta and nice people made me feel good. The lady making the meat made it fresh in front of him! Now I want some rice pudding so I might send him back to see if they have any!

We decided to try it out today since we were in the Carlsbad area and THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!! Met the super helpful manager on shift Antoine and a very lovely lady (I didnt get her name) and another gentleman named Chris who I believe was working in the back. They were fantastic in explaining the menu and things around the shop. We ended up getting the Cheesesteak, dry aged burger, the fries and the bologna sandwich. All of it was very well done. You could taste the seasonings throughout the meat on the cheesesteak and burger, and the bologna was savory and CRISP on the edges. Also ended up spending a bunch on a lot of the seasonings and hot sauces that they had up on the shelf. The whole place was also very very neat and clean all around (including the bathroom). Highly recommend coming to this location and getting help from this amazing staff!!

Here is a real butcher market that has been THE source for marinated flank steak for Carne Asada…read more If you are in the area and are planning to do some outdoor grilling, this is the mecca for marinated flank steak for your carne asada. American Customs allows you to bring back marinated flank steak to the US, so pick up some extra for home use. All you have to do is pick up a sack of mesquite charcoal from any store in Rosarito Beach and start a very hot fire. Pick up some fresh tortillas from any local supermarket along with some fresh salsa (salsa cruda). Toss these steaks on the grill and you are an instant expert in Mexican cuisine. Applause, Applause, Applause. Pablo's and Alicia's - accept no substitute. Muy authentico. It supplied every tardeada, boda and Quinceañera I have attended in Baja.
