I'm really disappointed with the filet mignon I purchased. What should be a smooth, uniform,…read morecenter-cut filet came out looking uneven, shredded, and poorly trimmed. The pieces were inconsistent in shape and thickness, and you can clearly see ragged knife work and excess connective tissue that shouldn't be there in a premium cut. A true filet should be clean, round, and tightly trimmed, but these looked more like end scraps pressed together rather than proper medallions. For the price of filet mignon, I expect professional butchering--not rough cuts that cook unevenly. Definitely not the quality I paid for, and I won't be purchasing this cut from here again.

I have been a customer at Mema's for many years. The level of customer service just isn't the same…read morethere anymore since the change of ownership. I recently purchased a steak there that was prepackaged. It looked a little weird and I asked them about it and the guy told me everything was fine. I went to open the package and it was putrid. I then called to let them know about it and there was basically no response. No, I'm sorry About that. What can we do to help you? just silence. For that reason I will no longer be a customer.

Anytime I want to grill, I always think of coming here to get marinated meats…read more Walk in, grab a basket and head to the back of the store to the meat counter. There you will see an array of freshly marinated meats and a huge selection of cheeses. Ask the meat guy his recommendations and explanations between the types of marinades. I recommend the: marinated beef fajita, rib (costilla) meat, chorizo links, and marinated chicken leg and thighs. Move to the right and behold the array of cheeses. I like the white (queso para quesadillas) cheese to slice up and make quesadillas on the grill. Don't be confused by the overwhelming selection of tortillas, because you'll wanna grab the bag of unmarked flour tortillas up toward the front door/cashier. For fresh salsa, ask the ladies behind the hot food counter for their 3 different types of salsas: green, red, and molcajete. There are 3 different sizes to choose from: sizes 1,2,3 (small-med-large). I love this place, for the authenticity and amazing price. I don't think I can buy the same amount of marinated meats (like 8 lbs) and hunk of cheese and fresh tortillas (with lard too, I think. yum), for under $60.

From my experience, this place is a serious health risk. I'm not an expert but as a food handling…read morecertificate holder, I can tell that this store is not temperature controlled making it unsafe to store meat and fish. Apparently, the items look stale and unfit to consume. I'm concerned if they have proper health standard inspection reports. Also, the place is not clean making me concerned about sanitation. Additionally, the customer service was terrible. Off course, I'm not returning especially when there are far better stores in the area that follow proper health safety standards and procedures. Highly encourage everyone to verify the proper health safety protocols before making any purchases, its really not worth risking your health otherwise.

Like even on a hot Texas day, if I'm going to sweat, it better be over a slow smoked juicy brisket! Not to mention the bread dough of the sandwich and the mexican corn and brisket mac and cheese! So walk in, turn to your left where the strong smells are coming from and wait about 10 min for your order- even on a busy Saturday. Great service and of course fantastic meat market. I buy oxtail from here hella cheap compared to the big chain stores or even Costco. Come by and eat outside under the covered patio- come hungry!!

My mother was born and raised in Belleville and when I visited as a child we would always stop at…read morethe original meat market to get dry sausage for the ride back to Houston. This improved standalone store is pretty impressive. I brought my wife, who's from California and had never eaten summer sausage, here to get an official introduction to the delicacy. The jalapeno and cheese version didn't disappoint. We also got dry salami to make a Texas charcuterie board when we got home. The jalapeno and cheese version of any kind of sausage is definitely my favorite.

I usually go to The Best Stop in Katy but I was down Dairy Ashford and have heard about Hebert's so…read moreI decided to give it a try. I thought it was like the ones in Lake Charles. Maybe I didn't look around enough but no one really helped me so I was just wandering around myself. I saw the prepackaged cracklings and thought "Ooo, exactly what I came for". Nope. This was NOT what I wanted or what I was expecting. 1. The bag was ridiculously hard to open for some reason. Not one but both so it's not me right? 2. This was more like chicharrones instead of cracklings. Those of y'all who know what I'm talking about know what I'm talking about! 3. Both flavors tasted similar, if not the same I was very disappointed in the "cracklings". I also bought their tea cakes, the original flavor and the lemon flavor. There was this bakery shop in Lake Charles that closed down but they had the BEST tea cakes so I guess I bought these thinking they would be the same. Nostalgia I guess. I have not tried them yet but I don't know if I want to. Will come back with an update once I do try them.
