Lomeli Butcher shop is a great location that has everything needed to make a perfect Latino meal. Lomeli has a very good carneceria with reasonable prices and any type of meat/seafood you're looking for. In addition to the carneceria their produce is very fresh and carry the usual items to compliment any meal. Finally, their hot case of fresh dishes to include birria con Chivo and Beef, tacos, taquitos and carnitas are all freshly made and delicious. They also have freshly made salsas for any occasion as well as side dishes like beans and rice. Lomeli also has a nice grocery store for anything lease you need. Staff was very friendly and speak Spanish and English to help any customer with questions. Menudo was off the charts, some of the best I had, perfectly seasoned and very tender. We picked up extra for the next day. Pomelo's Butcher shop is an awesome place for anyone looking to make a delicious meal. I also highly recommend you try this spot!!

Far better than we have gotten from Joseph's or Costco! Saving the "prime" for maybe Fathers Day? ‍. Fresh fish looked good too but came to try steaks. Picked up some store made mild salsa and enjoyed some on the patio today! I loved it! But don't recall if they offered a spicier version...which my son prefers? Only negative I could find is they don't offer a very large deli variety; nor do they make many salads to choose from. Joseph's has them beat there! Mostly I'm THRILLED a butcher shop is open past 5:00PM! Commuters and lazy people like me will appreciate that!!

I got some fresh applewood smoked bacon which usually I'd cook on stovetop. After talking with owner for a while he reminded me to cook it in oven and let me just say I have been doing it wrong my whole life. The applewood smell in my house afterwards was like I just smoked it myself! Hands down one of the coolest guys I've talked to and for sure will be back to try everything else! Thank you

Great town butcher. The best bacon and corned beef! Service was great, very kind and informative.read more

I drove out to Q7 Ranch today and bought a few pounds of free range, grass fed sirloin, ground beef…read moreand few pasture raised chickens (which are better than simply "free range" in that they get to eat more natural grass because their pen is moved a few feet to a fresh spot every day). They also have pork but I didn't order any. They're very friendly and easy to buy from. Just call first to make an appointment and drive out to the ranch. Most meat is sold by the pound. When I got home I cut the frozen sirloin into 3-4oz pieces and seared in a cast iron skillet (which I think is a more pure way to cook a steak, avoiding any extra flavors which are imparted from cooking over fire). The steak was extremely flavorful. I also minced a piece to have as traditional steak tartare (see picture above). The beef flavor was bright and full -- and the color was amazing. From the Q7 Ranch website: "Quarter Circle Seven Ranch is an Illinois family owned and operated all natural, grass fed beef cattle ranch based in Marengo, Illinois. Blessed with an abundance of natural vegetation and water; our ranches provide over 400 acres of native grass pastures in Marengo, Poplar Grove and Virginia, Illinois with our home pasture being only 58 miles northwest of the Chicago loop. Our husbandry and pasture management practices meet all of the All Natural/Grass Fed requirements that our clients want...locally produced and locally processed. No growth hormone implants or additives. No fed antibiotics. No herbicides applied to our pastures. No pesticides applied to the cattle. Plenty of natural grasses, shade and clean flowing water. Our processing, packaging and pricing is intended to allow for the maximum in client choice. You can purchase one steak, one whole beef or any amount in between or split a purchase with family or friends. We believe that buying locally leaves a smaller carbon footprint by saving energy and therefore should cost less. Our prices are market based, applying discounts of 10% to 33% to the prices of the largest internet based providers. Our mission is to provide Chicagoland families a high quality, locally produced, and affordable choice in grass fed beef. Living "Green" is critical. It is also inconvenient when compared with a trip to the local supermarket. We try to help with that by offering delivery service to your home or business. Although, we have more fun when you visit the ranch to pick up your order and take a look around."

We have also purchased some of their Beef at the Butcher and the Larder and love it. It is nice to have a free range grass fed alternative to the regular store beef.

Wallace is a rare combination of the highest quality product, convenience and affordability. Their website is simple to navigate and order from, while the monthly pick up as quick and easy as it gets, you're in and out in 30 seconds. The products, well I don't know where to begin. Everything I have purchased from them has been excellent (and there has been a lot). I have purged my kitchen of any grocery store bought meat and have switched solely to Wallace. Their meat comes vacuum sealed and frozen, which has resulted in my freezer being stocked to the brim with grassfed, organic and ethically raised meat. I challenge you to find a better steak in the city at any price, let alone the prices they charge. For a similar cut at these price points, you're probably looking at a styrofoam tray with a gray piece of meat on it from your local supermarket.
