This is the place my family swears by for carne asada, and after trying it myself, I completely…read moreunderstand why. The carne asada here is incredibly flavorful, tender, and perfectly seasoned. It always turns out so delicious on the grill that I find myself wishing I could pack some up and bring it all the way back to Los Angeles with me! My dad absolutely loves grilling whenever we come to visit, and without fail, this is the only market we buy our carne asada from. It's become a family tradition at this point, and every cookout is something we all look forward to. Beyond the amazing meat selection, the market itself is clean, organized, and easy to shop. Everything is neatly stocked, making it simple to find what you need without feeling overwhelmed. The employees are always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help, which makes the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for their famous carne asada or just picking up groceries, this is a neighborhood market that's definitely worth visiting. It's easy to see why my family has remained loyal customers, and I'll always look forward to coming back every time I'm in Bakersfield.

I can't really comment on any of their other products but I give them five stars for the sausage alone, it's just that good. The rest of the meat case all looks great too. They have a wide variety of sausage all made in house including Original Basque, Kickin' Chicken, Sweet Italian, German, and more. I don't know where he got his information, but my cousin told me that their German sausage uses my Grandfather's recipe, and it's a fave of mine. Also the guy's working there have always been friendly and very helpful. Their sausage is so good, just writing this makes me hungry. Give it a try, I seriously doubt you'll be disappointed!

And as always, USDA, prime meat can be pricey, but it's so worth it. (Pic is of my finished steaks resting)

I do not know about service-you order at a counter and pay, I think they bring it out to the patio area, you place trash in bins when you finish eating. The patio area outside is pretty nice, there is some shade and a place to put your bike. Recommended if you are downtown and need a good BBQ plate or sandwich.

I've picked up a few cuts of meat here and each time the staff has been very friendly. Today, I picked up a steak and asked for some pointers. The gentleman (I wish I got his name) was friendly and knowledgeable. About a week ago, I picked up some of their marinated chicken breast. I believe one was a garlic and herb and the other was their signature marinade. The garlic and herb was very nice and could easily be paired with any green vegetable. I asked about their signature marinade to get an idea of flavors and they stated it was like a Mexican polo flavor. I made it with some white rice and it worked out really well. The chicken breasts were so thick! You could easily filet them and double your amount. They also didn't appear to have the white lines that I see in the supermarket chicken breasts. I've read those are due to hormones in the chickens. Is it true? I don't know. They have a nice variety of cuts and if you like sausage, they have several flavors! Definitely worth checking out. The shop isn't very big but they have pretty much all the basics you would need if you're planning a BBQ or a simple meal for you and your family. Overall, the shop is clean and tidy. This is no fault of theirs, but whoever designed that parking lot, well, lets just say they didn't consider larger trucks driving through. The parking lot layout for that entire area is just wonky.

Then on top of it, they have the best staff who treat you like family. They can recommend so many ways to cook and season if you're new going to a butcher, just ask. It's worth every penny and your tastebuds will agree. They can cut to order too.

I was a bit worried after reading a review about getting meat from here but my wife and I agreed it tasted very similar to all the meat markets down south. For us this is our standard when it comes to buying meat. This place has the Best Carne Asada money can buy. In my family we call it, the Gold meat because it is very pricy but also soo worth it. We get the Asajo cuts because they're so easy to enjoy. They cook up super fast on the grill and they're soo juicy and flavorful with each bite. You cannot go wrong buying the Asajo cuts from this meat market. Come prepared to spend a lot of money but you will not be disappointed. When I'm LA we go to the one in Pico Rivera. I will definitely consider driving from Visalia over here knowing this meat market taste like the one in Pico. The customer service was real good too. Hopefully they can open one up soon in Visalia or even Fresno.

Most meat markets have an 'off' odor, but not here. Sketchy neighborhood, but well worth the trip. Will try some goat next time.
