    Pollo preparado
    Charlie A.

    Incredible meat department. The chicken and Asada preparada are always great. The prices are also really good.

    Dropped In largely based on the yelp reviews just to pick up some chicken and steak to barbecue. Staff and manager could not have been nicer and I use the Yelp check in to get a free container of delicious green salsa Verde. I'll be back. The price was right. The food was delicious and it makes a barbecue so easy!!!

    My first time at this little market as I was in the area. I will definitely come back any time I'm in the area. The owner is friendly and truly cares about his customers. Nice little market to grab fresh meat, produce, pastries or paletas. Highly recommend.

    Carne asada fries with guac

    more like 3.5 out of 5 stars. as most places have banned dining indoor due to the coronavirus, we decided to see what types of places were open on door dash. i'm so glad this place was open, since they have carne asada fries. We ended up getting the below. 1x Adobada (Sopes) $3.49 1x Carne Asada Fries (Antojitos) $8.49 1x Guacamole (Extras) $1.49 1x Lengua (Burritos) $6.99 Everything was really good and filling, i think for two people, the above items are more than enough. I think you can even skip the sopes and be full from everything. I actually think i shouldve skipped the sopes, as it was kinda soggy by the time it got to my house, but that could be because i didn't eat it fresh. The lengua burrito and the carne asada fries were money tho, loved it 100%. Next time i'm craving mexican food, i'll order from this place again in the future. I wished they had an option to buy items from the panaderia on doordash... that would've been cool.

    Ranchera is the top left and the cecina is everything else. Look at the difference !

    0 stars if I could. Went today for the first time and asked for 3 pounds of ranchera but when I went home they gave me cecina ( cheaper meat) and 2 pieces of ranchera went back to swap out for ranchera but the owner refused, started cursing, and wanted to kick me out. They were also taking photos of me. Rude and disrespectful place. Look at the photo and see the difference

    A friendly neighborhood grocery store, taqueria, and bakery. While this store isn't as big or well known as the ubiquitous grocery chains we're familiar with, it has a great selection of items that typically wouldn't be stocked at the mainstream places. I usually come here to pick up some ice cream popsicles. They have so many different and unique varieties to choose from. My personal favorite is the coconut cream. It's made with coconut and milk for a smooth and creamy texture. Shaved strips of coconut are also mixed in to add more flavor. All the ice cream is made with fresh ingredients, come individually wrapped, and are delicious. There's a flavor for every palate, and each popsicle is only $2. The meat market has a great selection of cuts. If you're looking to make tacos, fajitas, or any other Mexican dish, they've got you covered. The meat is fresh and can be cut to order. The taqueria tucked away in the corner adjacent to the ice cream. They offer all kinds of meats, and if you come in Tuesdays, select varieties are $0.99. These include carne asada, adobada, and carnitas. The tacos are about double the size of your standard street tacos, and pack plenty of flavor. The tacos come topped with diced onions and cilantro. Salsa is provided on the side. Service throughout the store is very friendly, and there's also a Yelp check-in for free salsa with a $25 dollar purchase.

    Do you guys offer money exchange?

    No sir.

    Is their carne asada meat good as they say it is? Someone please describe the taste and texture of the meat; juicy, chewy,thick? Because I've had horrible experience with various carne meats from some Mexican markets in Orange County?

    After eating at several Argentinian restaurants recently, I've been on a chimichurri kick. I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.

    Always saw this place and wanted to try their empanadas. Preferred the beef one over the chicken…read moreand loved the sauce that comes with it. Never had a Milanese sandwich, so no idea what to expect. To me the sandwich lacked a little flavor so used the sauce from the empanada on it. The crisp on the beef was spot on and the lettuce was really fresh. Very unassuming place but the staff were so nice. Not sure i would go out of my way to eat here but if I crave empanadas I would get the beef again.
