So I finally came in to buy some meat and I bought some carne asada arrachera meat and they…read moreactually cut it fresh as I ordered it. This is the best way to buy meat because most of the time butchers at the store have it presliced and prepackaged and the juices (blood) drains if the meat and it no longer tastes fresh. I threw it on the grill and seasoned it and it was the best carne asada I've ever tasted. So I highly recommend you buy your meat here. If you don't see what you want in the cold case, don't be discouraged and tell him what you want and more than likely they will have it. I'm talking about steaks that you want to grill for carne asada. Enjoy!

The market is typical for the area. The owners and staff speak English, as well as Spanish. These…read moreowners have only been there some years. Not the old owner. What makes it special; is the new & improved meat counter & produce area. Fabulous!! They take special orders for the meats & fish that they carry. Love that! Their meat and fish dept is on par, price-wise, with major supermarkets, most of the time. I might pay $.40 a pound, more for catfish in season, but the price doesn't change out of season. Year-round, it's the same. (I'd buy fish here before I would at Save-Mart or O'Briens!!) I also don't have to drive 7 miles down the road for the $.40 cheaper per pound, price, for frozen stuff. Gas costs! I definitely don't have to put up with fish that doesn't look or taste as well as what I buy locally. I can examine each and every piece of meat or fish that I buy there. No packages hiding huge pieces of fat underneath or smelly fish. If anyone has a problem with the butcher part of the store, no worries. They take great pride in the meats & fish that are carried now. I have actually been told, once, that I could not buy the poultry that I wanted, as it wasn't fresh enough. I bypass supermarket fish, catfish & produce to purchase from here. You can not beat it for taste and price. Owners are very friendly and very helpful. Staff speaks fluent English as well.

No les recomiendo eso. Es demasiado alto el Precio, imagínate llevar a la familia a los tacos a ese establecimiento, te vas a la quiebra, es más caro que un restaurante 5 estrellas en el centro de Paloalto donde el pie cuadrado de renta de un establecimiento es de 2000 dólares y no tienen esos precios así de altos así que no hay forma de que se escusen, simplemente están abusando de la comunidad.

A friend recommended this spot for good menudo. It is in…read moreEmpire right on the border with Modesto on the street that gets you to Hughson. It is part of a small Mexican supermarket which had a different name before so not sure how long this new ownership has been here. They cook and have the set up in the front of store under a tent but they do have a kitchen inside the market. You go inside the market by side door and order inside then you take your ticket to the outside tent where they have the menudo pot and condiments and they get you served up. They have a couple of fold up tables under tents for you to eat there but most of the people were taking it to go and so did I. They also have carnitas by the pound, tamales, and a variety of tacos of lengua, cabeza, carnitas and birria. We got two menudos to go and it was perfectly cooked, meat was clean tasting and tender and broth was excellent. This menudo does not have grano or homily but we added some at home and my menudo I ordered with Pata which is the foot part or hoof of cow a glutenous mix of tendon and meat which is traditional in menudo. if you don't know the meat in menudo is tripe. They had the three types of tripe in this menudo honeycomb, book and blanket. The menudo tastes very similar too my menudo so they definitely use Epazote herb. There were 10 to 12 people there and more coming so they serve until the pot runs out. Tacos looked very good so next time will get some while I wait. Service and food a definitely 4.5. The market was small but well stocked and the meat at the carnicería looked fresh and it was very clean so next time I will buy some meat for bbq while I wait for my menudo to go. You can get sodas which they sell inside the store and the tortillas are hand made but I think you have to ask for them as I did not get any with the order. I had some freshly hand made tortillas waiting at home which we paired with refried beans with cheese which you roll up and eat along with the menudo. Great find and can't wait to come back and try the other food. Not sure if this stand is only in the weekends or if it is open all the time. Usually menudo is only sold on weekends so I would assume that but not sure.

Even so, it took me another half mile of driving to realize what I had just passed, register the possible significance, and decide to flip a 180 and beeline straight back. Mind you, I wasn't even hungry! They only do two things and I presume they do both fantastically well despite only trying the chicken. It was 3 in the afternoon and this undiscovered Yelp jewel was not hurting for what I presume was local business. We walked straight to the back of the market where two extremely nice employees served us a half roast chicken with a stack of tortillas and salsa. Unable to withstand the delicious aroma a second longer, we popped the box open on the hood of our car and enjoyed an impromptu Modesto roadside picnic. The chicken was absolutely delicious: perfectly juicy, seasoned and crispy skin. It took me several large bites to even remember the tortillas and salsa which made the unexpected mess even better! We enjoyed this place so much, we came back two days later on our way back to the San Francisco Bay Area. If only we lived closer...
