It's a little meat shop in the corner of a shopping center. This is located on the corner of Saticoy and Oso. Its easy to miss but so worth checking out. The staff is super friendly. I ordered flank steak, who doesn't like carne asada and they will marinade it for you. Its perfectly cut by hand to a thin cut of beef, the real Mexican carne asada, the kind I grew up with. I also ordered chuletas de pollo. Chicken cutlets. Its breast meat cut thinly. Who needs to pound the hell out of the meat when its perfectly thinly cut. This way when you place it on the grill it cooks evenly. They marinade it for me as well. Both meats were so good. My daughter is so picky when eating chicken and she loved this. Won't eat it from anywhere else anymore.
They also have other cuts of meat that you don't usually see at your regular grocery stores like Cecina.
Cecina I only get to enjoy when I go visit my grandmother in Mexico. They make tons of it in her city and ship it to different locations so I get my fair share of it when Im there but here in the states if you find it, it wont be the same.
This meat is super thin, almost see thru, a bit salted, and oiled since its so lean. You basically heat it up on a griddle (for us it's a comal) for literally a min or you can leave it a bit longer and it'll crisp up and have a kind of beef jerky consistency. But oh soooo good.
Oh you need to get a few avocados from here. They are huge and perfectly ripe. You wont be disappointed.
