Ive been coming to this place for years now and its always been crowded even though the store is really small, the only good reason to come here is their "carne ranchera" which is great for BBQs. but good luck trying to find a parking spot because their private lot is always full.

Better than In n Out!! This how my hubby and I eat. Like a boss!! :))

Quality of the meat is great. I like the chorizo and cucina. The chorizo has alot of flavor and it's not greasy.

I haven't bought their meat, but it looks to be very high quality, and their cleanliness standards…read moreare very high. Their sandwiches are excellent. I've had the pastrami, French dip, and meatball, all of which were great. The French rolls they use are high quality, same with the meat, and they don't skimp on portions. After tax, they come out to $17-18 if I'm not mistaken, and given the price of the chain sandwich places and the quality of ingredients they offer, I think it's great value. Staff is also very welcoming and easy to deal with. Definitely worth a try!

The Meat Company is a butcher in Los Alamitos that's next door to Original Fish Company and Polly's…read morePies. They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!

First time here, and this joint did not disappoint! I was craving something warm on a random rainy…read moreday and landed here. Service was quick, and I like how they cook the meats for you. Kind of reminded me of Baekjeong. Got the combo A that came with either a choice of pork belly or pork collar + beef brisket + choice of stew + cheese. Opted for the pork belly and soybean paste stew with seafood. I usually don't like pork belly, but the pork belly here was exceptional. The fat and juiciness was not like any other kbbq spot where you get tired of eating the meat. It was a plus that they had instructions of how to pair the meat with salt, cheese, or their other sides that they provided. The salt really enhanced the pork belly flavor and the cheese paired perfectly with the meat too. The soybean paste stew didn't really have much seafood in it that I noticed. Overall, plenty of seating and great customer service. I also like the set up of their grills here. Would definitely come back when in the area!

Wow what a great experience! The staff starts to set your table as you're walking up to the door!…read moreTalk about efficient use of time. Sunday early dinner around 430pm. Ordered Combo C- with pork & Kim chee stew as our stew choice. Banchan of: Kimchee (very good, not too spicey, garlicky full of umami), bread & butter type pickle slices, cabbage & red pickled beet combo, mustard green(?), and pickled white radish/daikon. Interesting unexpected banchan. Staff sets up and cooks/cuts the meat for you. Much like Mo Rak Do up the street does. Combo C has a variety of pork pieces. Excited to try pork jowl for the first time. Ample portions. All fresh with the added bonus of aging sticker info for the pork belly. All the meats were VERY good. The belly had a nice distribution of fat to meat ratio. The jowl had high fat content with a slightly firmer bite to it. Great choice. We selected the pork & kimchee stew. Also very good. A side thinly sliced green onion salad also served. The dipping ingredients: course sea salt, wasabi, sweetened shoyu with garlic/green onion bits, & a samjang mixture. All very tasty. Course salt is a nice upgrade. Beautifully presented. Plenty of staff to attend to your table. Menu also has add'l meats to add for a larger group (table of 6 to our right). Honestly I was glad it was my female cousin & I. Too much competition to grab our meat portions if the 2 piglets had to share. A definite return in the near future. Yes, these aren't all you can eat prices. Because it's above AYCE quality meats. This place is a winner all around for service, food quality, adequate venting, parking isn't bad (strip mall). One thing noticed. I never did get my one bowl of rice. Gotta have meat & rice right? Well...miss piggy didn't miss it.

Fast, hot, and spicy. I stumbled upon this truck by accident looking for another taco stand…read more Definitely not disappointed with my discovery. I will say the truck itself is placed at a pretty dark corner of the street with some transient people nearby. Just an observation, nothing to do with the food or service. The service was fast and everything went smoothly when ordering, this place takes card if you don't have any cash. I ordered 1 al pastor burrito, 3 lengue tacos, 1 pastor taco, 2 tripas, and 2 cabeza. The order took about 10 minutes to complete even though I was the only customer. The self service bar had everything you needed, 4 separate sauces, cilantro, onion, radish, cucumber, limes, and pickled onions, jalapenos, and habaneros. I took it to go to eat at home and after the 10 minute drive and walk into my apartment everything was still super hot and smelt amazing. The pastor is some of the best I've had in a while, super flavorful and juicy. The lengue was tender, the cabeza almost had a tallow flavor, and the tripas was crispy. All excellent choices in my book. The sauces were spicy, however, in a blind taste test I don't think I could distinguish between any of them. Visually they were distinct but the flavor profiles were all very similar. Still good salsas overall, but if you're a diehard verde vs roja kinda person there really wasn't a difference in my opinion. Definitely worth trying out, hard to stand out too much with the multitude of taco shops/trucks around, but a good choice overall. Al Pastor has to be the highlight of the meat choices. Also Tuesday they offer 1.50 on a select choice of meats. For 1 burrito and 8 tacos my order came out to a little over 33 with tax, good bang for your buck.

Today I decided to try something a little different than my usual spot which is, "Brothers Tacos"…read moreon beach as well. I want to start by saying that I'm annoyed that they messed up my order and I got skimped my three tacos. I ordered 10 for me and my wife to share and they only gave me 7 of them (and yes I know, I should've checked before I left but long day and I was hungry.) I live about 10-12 mins away but if you know the traffic on beach and could've picked it up , $2.50 tacos to drive back there wasn't worth and it I just took the loss. Taste wise, they're okay nothing wow about it but they were dry and I'd also skip the horchata as well since it was watered down.
