    Smoked Dino Rib
    Diane N.

    All I can say is l love this place! I've been coming here since they opened and not once have I been disappointed. I used to always get meat from Stater Bros or Costco since moving here in 2021, therefore my expectations weren't that high to begin but this little butcher shop definitely exceeded them. I've bought tomahawks, Dino ribs, porterhouses, tasajo strips, flank ribs, flap meat, ribeyes, chicken quarters, wings, shrimp and I've even tried their cream, queso fresco, sauces and chicharrones. Never once have I been disappointed and now after coming here I can't settle for anything less. I tired SB meats again once because they had "tasajo" and it was rubber, chewy and had no flavor. Meanwhile the tasajo at Don Peters is soft, buttery, and is delectable. I also prefer their unmarinated stuff because I love to use my own spices and stuff but their stuff isn't bad either. It's just a personal preference. I understand the prices aren't cheap and not everyone can afford to get meat here often but if you can budget it in, I recommend it because you get more flavor and better cuts than anywhere nearby. I will say they don't have much staff but you just need to be patient as that's the norm for small mom-and-pop shops. It's very clean and tidy too. I also appreciate the selection of marinades, seasoning and other stuff they offer like tortillas, tortillla chips, charcoal, beers, sodas, salsas, chips, jerky (the jalapeño one is great) and typical Mexican snacks like nuts, candies and candies sauces. Plus the little grocery items (cilantro, tomato, peppers, onion, garlic and limes; typical for any carne asada or grilling activity). They also have ice pops and sorbets which my kids love. Overall they offer great quality cuts, decent prices, large variety of items and a good selection of meats and meat types. The staff are kind and the older man always greets my kids and offers stickers to them. I always feel welcome and appreciated as a customer and I also like that they offer a small discount for points. I'm holding out on my discount to get myself a wagyu steak

    Decided to try this new meat market in my neighborhood. It has only been open a couple of months. Cool automatic sliding doors at the entrance. It was very clean. They sell prime meat , sodas , snacks , Mexican cheese , salsa, charcoal and seafood . We tried the 6pieces of seasoned short ribs ( gal bi) and one ribeye . We spent about $50. Went home and broiled the short ribs for lunch! It was delicious! Thicker cut than I'm used to. Also, the Mexican style seasoning was really good. ( very different from my usual soy sauce & sugar) Broiled the ribeye steak the next day. It was pretty darn good too. I'll be coming back to get my prime meat !

    Its new, clean, and the carne asada was very good. My bf was making a tomahawk, but I really wanted carne asada. I have been wanting to try this place, so I came by. I ordered two pounds of meat, some salsa, guacamole ( too many onions for me ), and beans. The guy with the tomahawk loved and ate a lot of the carne asada. The salsa and beans were good. The red one was too hot for me, but the other one was delicious. The chips were bland. The service was great, though. Very friendly.

    Marinated Tasajo.

    First time here. Bought Prime NY's. Amazing. Sorry no pics. Bought marinated Tasajo. Unbelievable. Also tried the regular Carne Asada. Regular Guac. (Very good) This is now our go to meat spot. Looking forward to trying other things and their seafood too.

    Second time at this location. Meat quality is very fresh and reasonably priced. Also bought the fresh guacamole in my opinion 4/5. My son loves the taste of their flank steak. Friendly service. I highly recommend this meat market.

    Only prime and wagyu grade

The aroma alone had people asking when dinner would be ready, and after the first bite, there wasn't much talking just people going back for seconds. What really stands out about Mr. Meats is the consistency. Every visit, the prepared meats are fresh, high quality, and cook up tender and juicy with incredible flavor. You can tell they care about what they're selling, and it shows in the final product. Whether you're planning a family BBQ, a birthday, or just a relaxing Sunday cookout, Mr. Meats is a place I can confidently recommend.

The Wagyu was savory without being overly rich, and the chicken breast was lean but still really flavorful. They give you the choice between the regular chicken, which is dark meat and a little more savory, or the chicken breast, which is the leaner option. Personally, I eat a lot of lean meat, so pairing the Wagyu with the chicken breast was perfect for me. I also chose a double order of the macaroni salad for both of my sides instead of the kale salad or the other original side. It was a little extra, but completely worth it. It's hard to find places with really good macaroni salad, and this one did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the entire plate.

Unfortunately, the very first person to try it was my grandmother, and she immediately said it tasted expired. When I tried it myself, it had a fermented flavor with a bubbly texture, which was very concerning. The next day I returned to the store, and to their credit, they were kind and replaced it without any issues. However, when I opened the replacement container the following day, it also tasted expired. What concerns me the most is that neither container had an expiration date or any "best by" date. For a fresh, prepared food like guacamole, that's a serious food safety concern. There's no way for customers to know how long it has been sitting or whether it's still safe to eat. I appreciate that the employees replaced the product, but receiving a second spoiled container makes me worry that this may be a larger issue. I would strongly recommend avoiding the prepared guacamole and salsas until proper date labeling and quality control are in place. Food safety should always come first.
