Pollo preparado
Charlie A.

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

Scott K.

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.

How much is a dozen tamales and can I still order for Christmas?

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?

We deliver through the app door dash.

My own parents lived around the corner for 30 years before recently moving. My dad and I always used to race here to get our weekend dinner supplies. All in all, this is a great shop. Personable people (family owned for sure), affordable prices, GREAT quality food, clean and full of history. I've even heard from other people who grew up in the area all the way at my work in LA county who rave about that store. My folks may have moved to another state and my father in law is no longer with us, but I for one will keep getting my best meats at this butcher's shop!

I got the $15 Italian with everything and it was loaded with fresh veggies, Boar's Head meats and cheese, mayo, mustard, etc. Previously I've gotten sliced meat by the pound as well. Staff is helpful and if you aren't sure what cut you want to buy on the raw meats...just ask! The customer behind me said his Dad wanted pork chops to smoke on the Traeger. They helped him pick the right cut & optional if you want it seasoned or as is. There's a few potatoes, onions, and seasoning in the shelves. A great one stop shop option! (The Char crust brand is great.)

After calling multiple butcher shops, this was the only place I found that actually carried them. We ended up getting a whole beef femur bone for only $13, which was an amazing price. Can't wait to give it to our dog, and we'll definitely be back for more. If you're a dog owner like us, that's another reason to check this place out. I believe the girl I spoke with over the phone also mentioned that they offer both raw and smoked beef knuckle bones for dogs. She even cut the bones the way we wanted it Great service, great prices, and definitely worth the drive for us.

The staff here are super friendly and great and helping first time customers. They're all willing to find the answer to your question even if they don't know themselves. Butchers are onsite for custom processing and speciality cuts. Really charming bit of old chino, hoping they stick around for decades to come. They do all my custom animal-share processing and do a great job, looking forward to another perfect Christmas ham.
