We found them about three months ago when we started getting concerned about what was really in our meat, and it has completely changed the way our family eats. We ended up buying half a cow from them, and the quality is just incredible. Nicole and her entire staff are truly amazing--so knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to take the time to explain everything about the cuts and sourcing. You can tell they genuinely care about what they're providing. The beef is outstanding--hands down the best we've ever had. Their chicken is just as impressive, and even the hot dogs are fantastic. Honestly, we've tried just about everything they offer, and there hasn't been a single disappointment. At this point, our freezer is stocked exclusively with Brunk's Butchery meat, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for making it possible for us to truly enjoy beef, chicken, and pork again with confidence. We will never shop for meat anywhere else!

The cost was $22lb. When i got there was a little line, which was a good sign. They have plenty of good cuts of meat with great marbling. What i notice is there not much customer service. You definitely need to know what you want when they call you. As for my 7lb whole Beef Rib that i got is was fantastic. It has nice marbling. Overall, I was happy with the product that I got.

I found Valdivia Meat Market before the TikTok fame hit, and I keep coming back because everything…read moreis fresh and delicious. The meat market is connected to the restaurant (same ownership/management), and the meat quality never disappoints. My favorites to buy are the chorizo and the marinated chuck steaks. They also sell the restaurant's salsas in the market, along with totopos, corn and flour tortillas, seasonings, and more. It does get busy, but with the growing popularity (thanks, TikTok), that's expected. Bring a little patience if you visit on a busy day. The market itself is small with limited standing room, but the guys behind the counter know this and move quickly to get your order packed. The restaurant side is busy too, and it's gotten even more so since I first found it. I'm honestly glad I found this place. They have my favorite tacos in the IE. Before this, I'd still drive to OC for tacos because nothing here matched what I was looking for. Now this is my go-to spot. My favorite thing to order is the taco special: 3 tacos with a drink (agua fresca or canned soda), or 5 tacos with a drink. They offer a great variety of meats at no extra charge -- my favorites are al pastor and carne asada. They also have a solid lineup of Mexican food: birria, sopes, nachos, burritos. My daughter loves the burritos -- it's her backup spot when she can't make it to her favorite shop. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, with generous portions. Nothing sits around getting cold, because most food is made fresh as you order it -- which is exactly why there's a bit of a wait on busy days. While you wait, hit the salsa bar. The pickled jalapeños (I believe house-made) are excellent, and the pickled onion/habanero mix is a must-try if you like spice. I recommend most of the menu -- you really can't go wrong. The restaurant and restroom are both very clean. Parking can be a little tricky on busy days but usually clears up quickly. Prices run a bit higher than other spots, but it's worth it.

El día que fui a comprar (desde Buena Park) valió la pena por que mis padres les encantó toda la carne que compré. Les recomendó la carne RANCHERA, TASAJO, y las COSTILLAS (todo preparado/sasonado) I got my meat from here a month ago and when I tell you it's delicious, it taste fresh from the cow, no fridge taste like how you would normally get from the supermarket. I'm picky with my red meats, and they had it seasoned and unseasoned. I bought 150 worth I think and it was so worth the price. I got the meats above that are in CAPS.

I had a wonderful phone conversation with the owner Ben who personally took my order. We agreed upon a date and time two weeks out since I was going to be out of town for the 4th of July week. They called while I was out of town to confirm the date and time (between 10-11 am) which was great! When I arrived to the store with my son around 11:15 because of the heavy traffic on 91W I went to the counter and was told by a young female that I needed to go to the pay counter. She was curt and not helpful. There was only three people ahead of me so no problem. But the elder gentleman in front of me, who was being helped by the young man who would eventually help me, took an exceptionally long time with his order. I'm just here to pay and pick up. No problem, I'll be patient and keep waiting. Two other costumers are helped by the female counter person and finally the elder customer leaves with his order and I'm next. The young male counter person then waits for me to initiate the conversation and doesn't greet me with a smile or hello or how can I help. I brush it off. I tell him I'm here to pick up my order, a whole pig and give him my last name. He fumbles around a few seconds and then asks how to spell my name and eventually finds my ticket order and asks what time. The time is written at the top of the ticket he failed to notice. I pay for the order. He mutters someone will be out with my order and disappears. No thank you, no attentiveness like he gave the older gentleman in front of me. Again, I've been in my car with my son for over two hours from San Diego in traffic and this fella couldn't give me five minutes of courtesy. I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting while others eventually come into the store and are being helped and leaving. The older female worker at the pay counter is still there helping customers while the younger female at the deli counter is now apparently on a break and making herself lunch. She stops momentarily when a customer comes in for deli service. I'm still waiting by the counter to make sure I'm at least acknowledged but I don't see the young male counter worker who apparently left for lunch since it's now noon. The older female worker can probably see on my face that I'm not happy and says to me he's working on my order. He? Who's he? I am just here to pay and pick order between 10-11. How much time and trouble could it be to put this order together which was made two weeks prior? A different gentlemen finally arrives with three boxes and two large paper bags that comprise my order. On the way out the older female worker says goodbye and was very courteous. At this point I'm pretty upset because this is not a large haul and this order could've easily been second and not 45 minutes! I arrive home after the two hour drive back home to SD and looking forward to the meat, especially the sausages and putting it into the freezer which I cleared out in preparation for the meat. My older son is home to help. As we are sorting and placing the meat I notice that there are no sausages. It's just sausage meat but no links. I guess it's my fault for assuming and not specifying sausage links on at peat some of the order. It was a huge letdown. I had array went out to purchase rolls and buns for a bbq this weekend and to have friends and family over. Oh well. You live and you learn. At least the bacon was great.

We ordered chicken for tacos and wanted to try some wings too. I asked for 6 wings... and the worker literally laughed at me. Then he called his coworker over, said something in Spanish, and just walked away like we weren't worth his time. What exactly is wrong with ordering 6 big wings? We are a small family... Do I need to drop $100 every visit just to be treated with basic respect? Why do i wanna get so much food then waste it if i cant finish?

I originally placed my order and received my meat promptly. However, my order was missing a few items and they said they'd get it to me shortly. I also quickly realized that the ground beef was extremely course - leading to fat pools in a pan and flareups on the stove. So I reached out and they said they'd get that squared away too. Two months later, i am still missing meat and I haven't heard from them in weeks. I wish I could get some sort of refund but I paid by check. I will say that the quality of the beef itself is solid.
