I came in looking to support a local butcher, but left completely disappointed. I asked about prices since nothing was labeled, and instead of helping, the guy snapped, "go somewhere cheaper." Then, while I was just talking to my mom, he looked at me and mocked me saying "Ay la Cara de La Niña," like I was scared of the prices, totally uncalled for. Their card machine kept failing too, with constant connection errors. The whole vibe was rude and uncomfortable. Never coming back. read more

Carnitas are super good. Every Sunday they are available for purchase. Usually, I get the ranchera. The marinade is really good. Prices are fine. read more

Great service, they're always super friendly & meat is delicious. Try their carnitas!

This family own business is amazing!! They're so kind service is great. I ordered carne asada marinated for 30 people the day before a birthday party and they had it marinated and ready for me the next morning and everyone truly loved the flavor of the Carne Asada. I would definitely order of my Carne asada from them again. read more

I love this carniceria. Since it's my cousin's go-to meat market, I've been here with her several times now. Because she comes here all the time, and because the owner already knows her order, we are usually in and out in under two minutes. Meaning, I never get enough time to explore. Walking in to the shop, the very first thing one notices is how clean it is, which is obviously a great start. Next, my eyes are drawn to a long line of brightly colored salsas, which look mouth-watering. Moving towards the meat, which is in the back of the store, one passes through small but skillfully sourced aisles of produce and Mexican staples such as mole, various forms of tortillas, Mexican hot chocolate, a deep freezer full of La Michoacana paletas, and so much more. (I am proud of the fact that, during my most recent trip to Bakersfield, I got my cousin's kids hooked on La Michoacana mangonada flavored bars. They're an excellent fat-free alternative to ice cream.) In the front of the store are three fridges full of beverages, including bottled Mexican soft drinks produced with cane sugar. Along with everything I've already mentioned, the meat is fire. It's always perfectly seasoned and/or marinated, and comes out delicious no matter which one of us cooks it. All of our experiences with this shop have been positive, and I definitely recommend giving them a try if you're in town. read more

Love this place! It's so convenient and the staff is extremely friendly. They've got tons of meat choices even goat and some marinated meats for easy cooking. We love their salsas and guacamole. They've also got a small amount of veggies and canned goods. We go here often to not only support local but because it is so convenient and the staff is so great! read more

I pick up marinated taco meat from this place every time I have a party. There is always someone telling me how much they liked the flavors of the meat. I also ordered thinly sliced chicken recently and you do have to place that order a day ahead. That went well. The people that work there are always nice and friendly read more

Stopped by today to check out this meat market. I had driven by it many times and had been meaning to stop in. I wanted to buy a couple racks of spare ribs. I went inside and it looked like a decent little meat market. I always expect the prices at these places to be higher than major stores. Usually I don't mind paying more if the service or quality of the meat is good. I asked the guy who helped me if he could trim the racks of ribs -St Louis Style. Cut off the tips, square em up, etc. Butchers know what this means. He gave me a weird look and stated thats not something they usually do. I wanted the ribs so I just decided to buy them anyway and trim them myself when I get home. The total for two racks of spare ribs was $39.61. The same guy walked over and rang me up at the register. I asked him if they cut their own meat. I was assuming they did but I figured I'd ask based on his weird answer to my other question. He said yes they do. Very high prices and if they don't offer any additional service like cutting them for you then its a rip off. Plus the guy had a piss poor attitude. I WILL NOT BE BACK TO THIS PLACE AND I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

This place is awesome! Great meat! I will always support my local butcher over a chain!

I just needed salsa to compliment pulled pork tacos we made at home. I found this little meat shop close enough to my house for a quick drive to get salsa. All the fresh salsa were amazing! It complimented the tacos. Chicharrones tasted fresh as well. Cannot wait to try meat and weekend bbq! read more

Love them and so glad they're near my place. Highly recommend going here for all your meat purchases. They also have very fresh produce. Their avocados are the best (a little pricier than the grocery store but so worth it when you taste the difference). Oh and the homemade salsa is delicious!!! Love everything about the place. Lastly, the people there are friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. They do customer service the right way!! Thank you! read more

Very friendly service, great meat quality. It looks like a liquor store from the outside but dont let it fool ya. Price is about right for quality meats. Selection is kinda small but putting this lil spot in the rotation read more

Really solid place. Glad to have found Choice Cut. They have a really big selection and all the fixings you'll need.

Great experience I don't rate it I don't like. read more

Beautiful cuts of meat. This Is A One Stop Shop for all your barbecue meats , veggies and seasonings and sauces..

This place is conveniently located off of Harris behind Sams Club. The gentlemen I talked to was very nice and helped me get the cut and poundage of meat I wanted. They had some prosciutto in the refrigerator section which I needed to make beef Wellington. They also have a small grocery section and drinks as well. Overall this place is very nice, clean and affordable. I will be back. read more

Fresh selection in the butcher area. I always go in Mon-Thur so i miss the days they bbq. I am so glad I had the chance to go in on Friday. Had the chance to try the ribs and tri-tip. Amazing!!!! Must try! I originally went in for their tri-tip-bacon-cheese- patties, no seasoning needed just throw on grill and savory burgers! read more

Because there aren't too many options in the area and we noticed a sign outside offering party packs, we made it in the door. We were pleased to find the selection of everyday items. The meat looked great and the manager was super friendly and helpful. We ordered our tray for the big game this past Sunday and it was a hit with all our guests. We definitely intend to make Choice Cut a more frequent visit. P.S. If you get surprised that their prices are more than Walmart... come'on people. It's a mom and pop. Support your local business. read more

Choice cut is amazing. I purchased chicken fajitas, they were seasoned perfectly.The tri tip was delicious too. I highly recommend this place. read more

I was looking for thick (1 1/2 inch) bone in center cut pork chops. My regular butcher, Martin's Meats, did not have any so when calling around I found Choice Cut. The butcher cut them for me and they were reasonably priced. We saw many other items in the market that we normally buy elsewhere so next time we go searching we will probably stop here first. Very friendly people who provide good service. read more

Some of the best steak I have ever had. New to Bakersfield and super happy I found this place and decided to try it. The carne asada is the best I've ever had and every steak is tender and juicy. Will be the only place I get meat from now on. Everyone inside is super friendly and you get a really good family atmosphere from read more

It's nice to have a local meat market near my home. The customer service is great and the cuts are delicious. They also have other items like fresh produce available. Very glad they're in the neighborhood. read more

We are usually loyal to wood-dale but this is so close to our house I stopped in to check it out. Not very many specialty items or pre marinated items to choose from. I noticed some of the meat didn't look very fresh but the steaks looked good so despite my better judgement I got some boneless New York steaks. I also planned to get some ears of corn until I realized they charged by weight and 3 ears of corn was almost $6! When we got home and unwrapped the steaks they were rock hard all around the edges like they had been sitting out exposed to air. They also had a smell to them so we ended up throwing them away. Don't waste your time here and go to Wood-dale or La Carreta instead. read more

A great spot to get great quality meat with friendly service. My wife and I went in today for the first time and I have to say that I am extremely happy we stopped in. From the first step inside the shop, you are engulfed with amazing aromas that make your mouth water. We ended up getting a couple of very nice wagyu steaks and a couple of beer brats. Honestly, I could have bought more. Everything in that shop looks amazing. Don't wait to check this place out...the prices are not out of control and the quality is heads and shoulders better than you can get in a super market. read more

At first glance I thought I would have to stop at a few other stores before going home... but when I went in I realized it is a whole market with everything I needed! I was impressed by the manager on duty who informed me of specials they had and assisted me with recommendations as well. The place is clean and wonderful! I am going to reccomend to my friends and neighbors for sure! read more

Excellent market and superb customer service. The meat counter has a wonderful variety to choose from. I purchased a few pounds of carne asada for dinner and it was delicious. My husband lost count of how many tacos he had. They have everything you need. They even have salsas that make in house. I'm looking forward to going back. read more
