Roasted pig for New Year party.
Alina I.

OMG! If you have never been here, you should go and see this place. It's a meat warehouse with every type of game you can possibly imagine, including pork, sweetbreads and chicken skin. And Kiki D's restaurant right next-door, where they serve the best tacos and chicharones.

The spareribs I smoked up from Park Packing on the right were fatty fatty. Wal-Mart's came out beautifully on the left.

Gave this place a shot to pick up some spareribs for a BBQ. $2.99/lb is not bad, but I was able to pick up spareribs from Wal-Mart for $1.99/lb and it was vacuum-packed. Not only was the price cheaper at Wal-Mart, but when I did a taste test after smoking both over the weekend, it wasn't even close. The ribs I bought from Park Packing were just too fatty making it somewhat soggy compared to the other ribs from Wal-Mart which came out with a nice bark and that beautiful smoke ring around the outside. I saw that boston butts were $2.49/lb and picnic shoulders were $1.99/lb so I might try that out for some smoked pulled pork. Then again, I think I'll avoid the smell, the whole place being a fridge, and just go to Mariano's or some other grocery store. If you're looking for fresh meat, there's a good selection of items here, but I just wasn't impressed with the cut, quality, and prices.

Only fresher if you slaughter it yourself.. little piggy.

Simply the freshest source for meat in the city!!! They sell wholesale meats to the public. Two big buildings - one is a freezer so dress warm year round. You will find parts and pieces to delight any gourmet.

Green Street Smoked Meats is an absolute gem for anyone who appreciates great barbecue! The food is…read morepacked with smoky flavor, cooked to perfection, and prepared with real attention to quality. You can taste the care and effort that goes into the food, and the flavors speak for themselves. The meats are tender, juicy, and full of that delicious smoked flavor that true barbecue lovers appreciate. The atmosphere is great, the food is satisfying, and the overall experience makes you want to come back for more. It's refreshing to find a place that delivers on what it promises. From the quality of the food to the overall experience, Green Street Smoked Meats is definitely worth checking out. If you're a fan of authentic smoked meats and bold barbecue flavors, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. Great food, great barbecue, and an experience worth coming back for! Highly recommended!

So the wifey and I finally found ourselves trying this place out. The smoke lured us there. Nice…read moreopen place to eat some Texas style BBQ. They have indoor and outdoor seating. A cobblestone walkway with a rustic feel to it. It's also a Ramen & coffee spot on the premises. But we were there for the BBQ! We got there right around opening time so the line hadn't formed yet. The gentleman that cut our meats was very inviting and so nice! He definitely gets a 10/10 for service! We ordered just about everything except the pulled pork. We ordered 1/2 lb. of Brisket, 1/2 lb. of Pastrami, 1/2 lb. of the Pork Ribs, 1/2 lb. of Smoked Turkey, A Cheddar Jalapeno Hot Link, 1 1/2 Beef Rib, Chicago Twinke, Coke Zero and I went back and got 1/2 lb. Pork Belly! They give you complementary bread & pickled onions. I spent a total of $243.08 tip included. (I always tip good for good food and service). Tipping is optional though. I'm going to start with the Pastrami. It was tender, very, very well seasoned, Smokey, rich and absolutely delicious!!! 10/10! The sliced Brisket was also very, very well seasoned, tender & Smokey! Another 10/10!! The pork Ribs were once again seasoned well, not fall of the bone tender but they were tender how a rib should be! Nice glaze of sauce on them I'd say a 9.6/10. The smoked turkey is the best I've ever had ANYWHERE!! Moist, tender, seasoned and Smokey! 10/10! The pork belly was lean, fatty, rich, seasoned, tender just sinfully delicious!! 10/10. The cheddar Jalapeño hot link was juicy, smoked, had a nice snap, very flavorful and not too spicy. Just enough heat nothing overpowering. And it was a nice size sausage (pause). 9.7/10. The Chicago Twinkie is a Jalapeño stuff with cheese and wrapped in bacon! Smoked to perfection! Also deliciously sinful! 10/10!! The beef rib was so tender, nicely smoked, rich, well seasoned, it was fatty and lean. My gosh! So freaking good!! 10/10. We didn't order any sides we were there strictly for the smoked meat and this place did not disappoint! I can't wait until my next visit there! Next time I'll try a beer to go with it to help cut through the richness of the meat. If you haven't already been here, treat yourself to some delicious BBQ! All in all They get a solid 9.9/10!! Remember ALL reviews are subjective (Except this one. Lol)

Canton Regio brought me back to my roots…read more Weird to say but isn't, visited Chicago from Houston, Tx for IMTS with my dad and brother who both grew up in Monterrey Mexico. Growing up, I like to say I experienced it all, waking up early to help my family earn money, laundry and cleaning the house on Sundays, visiting the pulgas and segundas whenever. Living in areas "less fortunate" but still appreciating and making the most out of everything given to you. Over time I felt like I sort of lost that connection, I still had the same ambition of hustling (working job) waking up early, etc but always felt like something wasn't there anymore. I do most of my food searches on Yelp but anything more specific Beli is my app. Beli actually recommended this restaurant as I was looking for a restaurant. I mainly chose it for my dad as much as he says he doesn't mind eating at other spots it just felt right picking something he'd feel familiar with (Mexican food) Wait time is okay, if you're from Houston wait times are typically already 20-40mins anywhere, not an issue waiting. Outside environment, felt like living off airline but more extreme, you can see, feel, and even breathe the culture. Guys were walking about waving Mexican flags, smelling Barbacoa/carnitas tacos down the street, and the obvious loud Spanish music going around. A community gathered together with signs of no ICE allowed too. The inside ambience is crazy, fast paced, everyone working together and communicating like it's just regular day. I'll cut it short since I try not to write long reviews, the arranchera was fire, both salsas-- fire, shrimp tacos, fire, horchata, fire. Everything was great along with service and seeing all the customers bringing their own drinks celebrating for whatever reason. It really made me appreciate everything that's lead up to this moment. Cash only too but spot is worth checking out.

There was quite a long wait when we went, but it was well worth it. They're known for their…read morearrachera, and we ordered the half kilo, which was more than enough for two people. The steak was a little chewy, but still flavorful and satisfying. The free chips and salsa are chef's kiss. The chips are so fresh, and it's hard not to fill up on them before the main event. Heads up that it's cash only, so come prepared. I'd happily come back for another round of arrachera.
