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.

You get great meat at a great price. Parking is only on the street and so few spots that we park at La Soriana grocery store across the street on Reforma. They also have a variety of products that are harder to find and more gourmet items as well. Lots of things to help you plan your meals. The meat case is beautiful with all the different meats. You pick your favorite or best marbling and they will cut any thickness of steak. The steaks are not aged like in the US so are not as tender but also probably have no hormones either. The sausages are ok with different ones to try. I recommend San Nicolás - Carnicería Butcher Shop. Can't wait to come back again to try more things!

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.

They've got everything you couple think of from cheaper choice grated meats, prime cuts, australian wagyu, and japanese A5 Miyazaki!

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.

What a great market! As close to a mini Whole Foods as one can get! The produce is beautiful and…read morefresh, and there's a very wide variety of fruit and veg to select from. There are plenty American products to select from that are organic. (Not that I'm only wanting American products) I rarely buy American groceries here, as I prefer to shop the perimeter, but it's always nice to have the option. Their pricing for produce is extremely reasonable, and this is where they beat Whole Foods. The staff are all so incredibly helpful, warm and welcoming. Needless to say, their service is outstanding. We found it recently, while on a search for organic kefir, (they even had the brand I like!!) and instantly won me over! We've become regular shoppers there, even though we live an hour away!

The produce section appears organic and is so fresh, all inclusive, and super inexpensive. When you enter the store the small specialty bread offered is in front of the produce area. Yes, this is a best kept secret: my first taste of real artisan baked select and delivered daily, sourdough rounds, walnut, whole wheet, all seed, dark russian rye, garlic w gruyere, rosemary, french rolls, baguette's artisan baked and dense like home in San Francisco, CA. There are exquisite cheese's, organic yogurt, good pasta, dairy, hummus, juices from Cali, bulk dry foods, kitchen wares, specialty flavor's and curry style paste and spice's, tea, chocolates, coffee, cooking oils, from Southeast Asia. The friendly, helpful butcher's are in the back area ( English ok) and is impressively stocked with most everything and the quality is a cut above the rest. This is a smaller mercado and not to be compared to its sister market "Maria LUIS" in Maneadero. I love how this market is not huge and impersonal. Clearly it is managed by a team who understands the importance of great customer service, stocking their shelves selectively and cohesively, conve ience and organization, cleanliness, and how to market their goods etc.... I have made a special trip here just for the bread, produce, or meat on occasion.
