The food was really good and fresh. We ordered the brisket bbq sandwich and the chicken enchiladas. Both very tasty and freshly made. Service was very nice and friendly. As we waited we were given sopa de fideo with veggies which was so fresh and delicious. Ambiance was very chill, went early so it wasn't very busy. No inside or outside seating, but plenty of parking. A must try if in Downey. read more

I come here for the chorizo argentino. Pretty amazing taste. Service is always good and will continue coming. They also sell other types of cut meat. Picanha also available. Haven't tried it from here yet tho. read more

Another Yelp find that was DELICIOUS! Staff were friendly courteous and professional. The place (Veteran owned) has an ole school feel of competence integrity and commitment to excellence. Being a Veteran myself, ai felt comfortable especially after seeing the life sized Marine Corp Eagle Globe and Anchor proudly displayed on the wall in the butcher section. Interest peaked. Ai was optimistic and even confident that this Brisket would be good if not amazing. Ordered the Brisket Burrito and 2 Brisket Empanadas. Was served a bowl of hot vegetable, (maybe a broth), noodle soup while ai waited that was tasty which added to my admiration. Was having lunch in the truck and let's just say, My Brisket Burrito was nothing short of AMAZING. Smokey tender succulent sweet and soft. Coupled with the tender flavorful Rice Beans and Cheese in a seared Burrito Shell. Left me thoroughly impressed with its Smokey flavor and every aspect of its offering. Next. Tried one of my Empanadas. Another hitter. Fluffy Crusted Empanada filled with Smokey Brisket and Potato. Great flavor. By far the best Smoked Brisket Burrito (and Empanadas) ai have ever had. Surely will be back again and again. read more

Didn't get to order from them but got work to cater from them and I must say the burrito are amazing Who would have thought a butcher shop can make some amazing burrito. Definitely gonna get brisket next time since that sold out!!!!! Who wants to go with me? Brisket time read more

I hate complaining, but I'm going to have to do it this time. I've been hitting this place for breakfast every few weeks for a while. It's usually five stars, but I've left with an uneasy feeling the last two times. I haven't seen the usual lady cooking, and the consistency of the food is not great when she is not around. Also, the prices seem higher--$ 53 bucks for three items. I asked for eggs and asada on my Chilaquiles, and it was almost five bucks for just the eggs. The "asada" was equal to a tiny street taco. As for the food, The chilaquiles were just egg nachos. They were dry and looked a mess. I still haven't tried the breakfast burrito I bought. In conclusion, My food sucked today, and I'm just whining. I will probably delete this later, but I hope they will get it together the Next time I come. read more

Food is fresh and amazing. Try the hot sandwiches, they are GREAT, esp the brisket. As for the meats, they're really really good cuts. Try the Tasajo and Ranchera.. they are some of the best I've ever had. And let's not talk about the store made salsas and guacamole. Seriously, a 10 out of 10. People are friendly and prices are very reasonable. Love this place. read more

Clean and friendly staff. I got the Marinated Asada and it was great. I would definitely come back.

Brisket and chicken empanadas are delicious. Great service, large selection of south American products read more

Great tasting steak!! . But kinda pricey if you order on door dash. Comes out to 30 something dollars and they used to include grilled onions and jalapeños but they stopped. So 30 dollars for a steak is not so appealing unless you include other sides. Just my opinion. Still good quality but too pricey for what you get. read more

It's the only store around my house that has all the Argentina's meet cuts. The store is clean and the employees are very friendly. read more

Been here twice for the brisket sandwich. Pretty good. Meat was tender and flavorful. They put guacamole on the sandwich which i also like. I havent tried anything else but i hear their tacos are also really good. Next time i will tey something different. They also have a wide range of meats. Its a butcher shop. A friend of mine but taco meat and said it was really good. Also have to try that. I noticed they also sell various flavors of charcoal/mesquite. Come check them out. You wont be dissapointed. read more

Love coming to Luis'. I get my bones for the dogs, and whatever else I need for my meals haha. Last time I ordered chamorros for a caldo de res, I made. I love they have a compact grocery store with fresh fruits, veggies, and latino spices and shelf products. They have beer, soda...everything you need! A One stop butcher shop. read more

Best brisket sandwiches in town... little butcher shop with great selections but the sandwiches are the best...they'll give you free samples for you to try before you buy. read more

This place will not let you down. They have a really great little restaurant/taco shop style food spot inside, with the most succulent smoked brisket. It's one of the better briskets in the city. They also have enormous breakfast burritos, sandwiches and more. Also inside, you'll find a full butcher shop, wine, beer, fresh veggies, quick fry food items and some other basic corner store items... ranging from tortillas to milk to cookies to household needs. The shop is also Veteran-owned! He does a military discount and specials on Veterans Day. read more

The chips were fresh and I love the green salsa. It is not too spicy. Small parking lot. I had a coupon , so it came down to about $10 with my soda. I just love how filling this burrito is. The chipotle smoke penetrates my nose and taste buds really well. Very tender bite. I wish the brisket was in strips instead of chopped. The beans and potatoes are so filling. I think the potatoes are steamed, the smoke from the brisket, adds a depth of flavor to the carbohydrates. I would like to get more fatty pieces to get a different texture. Overall, ordering over the phone was not difficult, and the workers were super friendly to me this past Sunday! Typical bodega vibes. They also have a butcher carving meats and fresh salsas read more

This place is awesome. I can't wait to go back and get a brisket sandwich and some meat for the grill. They are closed on Tuesday's. If you like rad mom and pop spots or just amazing sandwiches you have to go to Luis. read more

Their premium asada is the best in town, and it deserves 5 stars without a doubt, but just like every business now a days keep raising their prices. $19 a pound for their best asada is very difficult to justify unless it's a special occasion which means I will now frequent this place less. read more

The meat here is always amazing good quality and cuts....but for 20 dollars a pound you would think they would have bags instead of just letting you walk out with the meat juice spilling in my car read more

Luis' Butcher Shop - They for some reason don't have bags or don't want to give me one when the juice was spilling in my car - Meat Shops Near Me - Downey, California

The meat is fresh and delicious, the service is great very nice employees. Ambience clean.

Luis used to be a staple amongst my preferred meat markets. However, the most recent experience topped the cake. 18.99 for a lb of tasajo is ridiculous. I know inflation is not going anywhere but I will be shopping around for my next meat spot. read more

This is a great community store to grab things at the last minute or to plan a full dinner purchasing quality meats from the meat counter ! The staff are nice too! Deborah read more

This place is the only place to get what you need for a great barbecue. Not to mention the brisket sandwich was also great. Veteran, and family owned business. Great to see how successful they have become. As long as you keep supplying quality goods and services I'll be a customer for life. A big thank you for being apart of our community. Here's a big shout out from all the Engineers at Kaiser Bellflower. Thanks again. I love to see your mom in the kitchen. Great job Luis. read more

Great carne preparada para azar los cortes están muy buenos and really good chicharrón. También las codornices muy buenas tienen muy buen sasonador. read more

So this review is going to be in a few parts. First the butcher shop itself. What can I say but this is heaven for someone who likes quality meat and specific cuts as well as standard meats. Whether it's a full rack of beef plate short ribs, pork ribs, Brisket or steaks Luis' can't be beat for quality. This goes for their chicken too (hint, buy the yellow skin chicken it is far richer, has more flavor and a bit more fat under the skin). Their carne asada is unmatched from anywhere else I have bought it in the area and their Chicharron is hands down the best with crunchy skin and crunchy on the outside/tender on the inside meat. Now on to the cafe because the cafe also shines. Whether you want regular tacos, tacos dorados, or a burrito they have you covered and if you want the best? Get the brisket sandwich (with melty cheese, grilled telera bread and quac) or brisket fries/nachos or tacos. They smoke their brisket in house with the owner's chipotle rub (which they also sell). Now as for service, they will custom cut your meat to your specifications (for a small fee) the staff is always friendly and helpful. One time I was looking for a rack of pork aka standing pork roast, they had one but it was frozen they put it overnight to thaw and had it for me the next morning. I have yet to not receive amazing service! If you are looking for quality meat, specific cuts and great service or just want something quick to eat from their cafe, Luis' is the spot to go. read more

I'm a smoking meat enthusiast. I often drop in to purchase briskets, steaks, prime ribs, spare ribs. The service is impeccable. The freshness of their meats is incredible. We will continue to support this business read more

Muy amables excelente comida el sandwich brisket riquísimo y el personal muy atentos

Yay or nay? 1/2 Good spot to pick up certain meats. I've enjoyed the entraña (skirt steak), and the Argentine sausages here. Their marinated chicken was good but nothing special. Same with their marinated carne asada. Thought the chicken was better, asada tasted slightly old and I grilled it the same day I bought it. The morcilla (blood sausage) here was gross, would not recommend it. The costillas (short ribs) I was sold here weren't great. I haven't tried them (or the morcilla) again in years though, so that may have changed. They also sell sandwiches, burritos and other items to go. Their pulled pork sandwich is decent. The meat is tasty but by the time I take a bite the bread is a soggy mess, so I don't find myself ever craving it despite the good flavors. The carne asada burrito on the other hand, was not enjoyable at all. Was mostly veggies. Tomatoes cut too thick. Ingredients not dispersed evenly. Lacked meat. The little meat it did have was not good quality. Had pieces of gristle and did not taste fresh. Complementary chips that came with the burrito were stale. Salsas were decent. I'd stick with taking fresh meat home rather than the prepared food from here. Besides their meats and prepared foods, they also have a decent selection of items I enjoy such as their Cuban crackers and dulce de leche. All in all, a decent meat market for some cuts, but not a one stop shop for all your meat needs. Expense 1/1 Prices seem fair to me. Haven't noticed anything cheaper or more expensive than other similar markets. Location 1/1 The location is a bit small, but I haven't had any issues getting in and out. Staff is friendly and they have a small parking. Also accept debit/credit cards. There is a Lee's Sandwiches location nearby that I like to pick up baguettes from. Plan to return? 1/1 Yeppers read more

I recently was fortunate to win a promotional contest from Luis Butcher Shop where I won a one-on-one butcher class with owner Moises along with a pair of butcher knives and to keep the pork we carved up. What an experience! Moi is a heck of a teacher and his shop is spotless. Of all the cuts I got to take home, my favorite was the pork belly that he prepped in order to be cooked as pancetta. This is one of the best family owned business I know! read more

My bil discovered this butchery. It's so good that he'll drive to Downey for it. A bit on the pricer side but really worth it. They use high quality meats and their marination for the carne asada & pollo is really flavorful and delish. I'm not too big of a tacos. It's something I'd eat if it's there but don't really crave for it being a 1st choice of eatery. Luis meats I do crave for. Really juicy and tender. Highly suggest going for that drive and supporting a small business once. Ck it out yourself and tell mee if I'm wrong regarding his good the pre marinated taco meats are. Our entire family loves it. My bil has visited here about 3 times. Each time buying more than just enough to BBQ for Sunday lunch that turns into Sunday's dinner since there's plentiful to go around. They offer guacamole for your tacos & burritos. Hopefully next time my bil decides to go. I'll be able to visit Luis Butchery myself and see what else do they offer read more

So I finally took the drive to try out their butcher shop carne asada. The drive was not worth it for me. I grilled the meat that same day. It was good but not worth the price, $18.95 per pound. I'm guessing the popularity on yelp has driven their price up too much. The service was average. Overall, good meat but not worth the price. read more

I'm glad I was able to stumble upon this small butchery. I got the brisket sandwich and it was a pretty sizable amount. It was pretty good but the brisket was a little dry, but the guac and salsa helped . But overall a pretty good sandwich read more

Luis' Butcher Shop - Brisket sandwich - Meat Shops Near Me - Downey, California

Great spot for a breakfast burrito. The brisket sandwich is abit expensive but I I understand that prices for me are going a little crazy. The outside definitely doesn't match the, inside the outside kind a looks closed. The market itself looks like any other Mexican market, but if you look closely they do have some interesting products. The butcher area has a lot of interesting meats to buy. I'm not sure how the prices of this place compares to others. But overall I recommend checking this place out. read more
