When I'm gonna have a BBQ/Carne Asada on the weekend , And I need to buy some food at a Hispanic…read moreMarket. La Bodega Market is the place I go to buy my meat for the day's gathering.
I actually have a Northgate market really close to my pad. But, if I want really good meat, at the best prices, to impress some of my guests, La Bodega market's meat can please even my most finicky guests.
What I really love about La Bodega Market is that their prices are really cheap for the quality that you're getting. They sell Carne Asada marinated with their special recipe for 2.50 a pound. I would really like to know all the ingredients that they use for their marinade, for I have only seen several of the ones they use while preparing my order. They have a special spice bottle,and a special bottle of some liquid that they pour into the bag of meat that you're taking home.
If you want Chicken Breasts ready to slap on the grill they will cost you only about 2 dollars a pound. And, you get their secret house marinade. Believe me, After eating their meat you will be licking your fingers after wards like KFC, GUARANTEED.
La Bodega also has almost everything a Hispanic Market would carry. Queso, Chips, Mexican Beer, Salsas, tortillas, & produce.
The only draw back to La Bodega Market is that they are at the 2nd to last U.S. exit in San Ysidro right before the border. It's not that far away from me, But for most of you It Is an eternity away.
