One star for flavor! The quality they claim is all lies! Their meat has glue! I thought we had found the only place with good meat, took us 4 purchases to realize they're as bad as all the others. Over priced and full of glue. read more

Great when they had first opened. Unfortunately the quality is no longer there, only old brown meat seams to be available. They used to marinate it when requested so it was fresh but now I guess the marinade masks the old meat. Hard pass. read more

Yesterday, my husband and I went to Prime Time Meats after seeing their Instagram stories. The meats and ceviche looked delicious, so we decided to treat ourselves to what we thought would be high-quality food. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The carne asada was very dry and cut too thin -- nothing like what was advertised. The ceviche was just okay at best. The shrimp lacked flavor and didn't taste fresh. We paid over $70 just for a half tray of ceviche, and in total spent more than $100 -- which felt like a complete waste considering the quality we received. Honestly, I've had better meats from Vons or Costco for half the price. I'd rate the ceviche a 5 out of 10. Overall, we were really disappointed and feel like the Instagram posts were misleading. Definitely not worth the hype and not purchasing again. read more

Moved to Ontario a few years and I could not find a good carniceria. We'll I found it, primetime hands down has the best ranchera meat in the area. Thin sliced and great flavor. The thin slice goes a long way when you grill for large groups. High in price, but the quality is great. read more

5 Stars - Best Flap Meat I've Ever Had! I stopped by Prime Time Meat Market and was seriously impressed. I only purchased the flap meat, but let me tell you--the quality was outstanding. The marbling on the meat was beautiful, and you can always tell good meat by how the fat is distributed. It cooked up juicy, tender, and full of flavor--perfect for grilling. The shop had a great variety of other cuts too, like Espaldilla (clod beef), Chamorro (beef shank), Menudo, Chuleta de Puerco (pork chops), and more. They also sell their own tortilla chips, which looked super fresh and crispy--I'll definitely try those next time. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the place was extremely clean and well-stocked. I'll definitely be coming back for more flap meat and to try the other options! read more

My mother and father in law were raving about the marinated carne asada they got from this place. They did mention the price was higher than others but they were NOT complaining one bit and were telling us to go try it cuz it is so worth it. Anyway, I went one day just to check it out and price my favorite meats and man did the marbling on the few meats on display were outstanding. I ended up getting some of the Flanken cut beef ribs, a whole prime picanha, and he threw in some of the carne asada for free because I mentioned my mother in laws recommendation! And yes of course I paid more than what I would have at a typical grocery store but the meat quality is incomparable. They're so nice and helpful too, I talked way too much and they talked too much right back to me Went straight home to grill all the meats and they were phenomenal. Chubby cattle at home, but even better cuz it didn't cost an arm and a leg. My all time favorite place to get meat from now on. read more

Soooo I have been hoping for this place to open up for a while now. I live down the street and ever since I saw a carneceria opening up I was excited! I came to the 7/11 on a Thursday and saw that it was finally open so I decided to go in. I was greeted right away by Javier who broke down everything from cost, marination, cuts, when they opened up etc. He was really welcoming and made me feel like I was already a regular. He told me about the special prime ranchera carne they had and I told him I was forsure gonna try some this weekend. He gave me their number and I left. Saturday I came back for a carne asada I was hosting and bought 3 lbs of Prime ranchera and 1 lb of prime costilla. I also tried the salsas they had as a sample which were DELICIOUS. They marinated the meat for me and it came out to $56 which for what I got, I was happy about. And if you didn't want to go to the grocery store to get your carbon, chiles, salsas, cilantro or even sodas, they have it here! Everyone loved it. Thin cut meet with great taste. The only complaint I will have is that the meat wasn't really marinated that much or maybe it is cause I'm used to my marinate but next time, I'm marinating it myself. Other than that, it was amazing. This meat was definitely better than the meat for La Carneceria that opened up on central and they are way more welcoming. Everything was super clean, organized, looked good and most of all tasted great. I will definitely be back in the future for more carne asada! Thanks Javier! read more

I don't normally write Yelp reviews, but I felt I'd help this new spot out. I went to Prime Time Meat Market for the first time on Sunday. Excellent quality of meat (juicy and tender) at a very reasonable price ($12.99/lbs for the ranchera). I loved that the place was impeccably clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They even had samples of their 3 salsas (made in house) with tortilla chips; nice touch so that you can taste and choose which you like best instead of picking blindly. They were all great, but we decided on the green (mild), which still has a good amount of kick to it. Overall, great bang for your buck, especially when you compare it to a lot of the newer carnicerías that are on the trendier side and "instagram-famous". This place has the same quality of meat, but you're paying $2-3 dollars less per pound. This place is definitely worth checking out! You won't be disappointed. read more

A coworker of mine recommended primetime meats, usually I go to La Carneceria because they have great meat. So I tried them and it was worth it. They are both great just different flavors so now I got two great meat markets next to my home. You gotta give it a try. Their michi mix is bomb... read more

All I can say is DO IT! I got some asada and some chicken breasts. They were marinated to perfection. Next time I will have them filet the breasts smaller so they can cook quicker. The chicken is tasty, but the star of the show is the asada. So tender, juicy and flavorful. The shop is super clean. It if very nice. The young man working the front was super helpful. Do yourself a favor and give it a try! read more

Place is overrated. Very little selection. They have everything vacuumed packed, which nobody really wants to buy like that unless you're gonna store it. They're always out of everything. The meat is cut too thin. read more

Finally got to try this meat spot and let me tell you it was amazing! Got a few pounds of the marinated carne asada for Father's Day weekend and my family was impressed. We all loved the flavor and how the meat is cut. It's not too thin and it's not thick. The customer service was top notched, the young man behind the counter was very attentive, helpful and friendly. You can tell they take care of their customers. I am recommending this place to everyone! I'm looking forward to trying meats at this location. read more

Man this was my spot, the meat is good but today I busted a mission from LA to grill for the Dodger parade, got here at 930 and it's 10:47 and no one is here. I'm likely missing the parade by the time I get back home. And even worse without the meat my mom likes lol oh well. read more

This place is garbage they sold my wife prime tasajo and when I through it on the grill and we all ate, it was hard and not tender like PRIME TASAJO should be, if you go to LA Carniceria Meat Market in Montlcair on Central right across the street from Costco you will see and taste the difference of real TASAJO PRIME Meat I will never go back here again or recommend anybody to buy from them.. and if you guys see this review I myself will buy Meat at LA Carniceria Meat Market and grill it for you guys at Prime Meat market to taste the difference... read more

Second time here, why? because my first time was great. My new go to meat market when in the area. My favorite thing to come here for is the ribeye and of course you can't forget the ranchera and short ribs and the tasajo. Service is great and looks super clean. Quality of the meat is excellent to how I like it and sliced fresh to order. So come and check it out for yourselves read more

Awesome quality.... best service been here a couple of times every time the meat is same good quality. Highly recommend

Their aguachiles are super good! I've gotten them a few times and recommend them! The only complaint I can say is they charge inconsistent. I was charged each time their price at $25 and then recently charged 27.50 and told its tax. I find it strange I was never charged tax before and now I am. And it wasn't like weeks or months since I've order in between so I'd suggest either sticking to charge tax or not because being charged a bit more than you expected to pay based on previous orders is not a nice surprise. read more

Best meat in town, the seasoning is impeccable & to die for no . They got a customer for life, the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly read more

the ranchera preparada is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. also ordered some costillas preparadas. i would definitely recommend to go one day prior to your bbq so the meat continues to marinate. the ranchera was cut thinly and was DELICIOUS!!!! all of my guests kept asking me where i purchased the meat. 100% recommend. the service is good and the staff is extremely knowledgeable. the place itself is very upbeat & very clean. definitely worth the drive from ELA to go pick up meat from this meat market. read more

Since this place opened under new management, I have been there twice and the ribeyes were the best I have had in a long time, plus they had no problem cutting them to the size thickness I wanted. Friendly butchers and they have different qualities of beef. Remember you get what you pay for and if you want good beef, you won't go wrong with this place. Fontana, Leonard J. read more
