    Now that I have tasted a few different meats from their butchery, I am ready and willing to tell the world what my perception of Su Carniceria is. And it is all good. Walking in for the first time, I was surprised at how small the actual store is. There is the meat counter, a small refrigerated section for good looking, fresh produce, and a few metal rack shelves carrying dry goods and other essentials for a complete meal. The butcher does his magic in the back, behind a wall. But who can take their adoring eyes off the gorgeous prime grade meats that fill the case here. Moving several steps toward the back, the great selection of marinated beef and chicken thighs, the chicken al pastor, and 3 types of chorizo, from mild to melt-the-paint, spicy hot, caught my eye. The butcher explained that the marinated beef is the same quality as their beautifully marbled steaks, not the tough cuts like other stores. Yes! And the prices? Assume that prime ain't cheap. But honestly, comparing their prices with other local carnicerias offering the same prime grade, they seemed to be about equal, if not a little cheaper. The marinated meats are far more budget-friendly and in line with other local butcheries. So the final test was in the tasting, and *that* we did over the span of a few days. We stuck with the prepared meats, the chicken and beef, and frankly I was very impressed even though Mr. B chose to sear them on a griddle rather than take them outside to the bbq. Well, it *was* January after all. Both developed a lovely char, yet stayed very moist, and honestly evoked eye-rolling moans of delight. Far better, I thought, than my usual carniceria close by. As for the chorizo, mine (the mild version, of course) is still waiting in the freezer for it's day to shine, so no comment, yet. I am really looking forward to becoming a regular patron here, and I made sure my two adult children, who are both so lucky to live much closer than I, know of my stamp of approval. Turn on your GPS to find them. Their biggest misfortune is that they are hidden in a small strip mall with an unobstructed view of the eastbound 91 freeway, at the Pierce Street offramp. I think this is a great find!

    Overrated personally didn't like the marinade too sweet
    Edgar ..

    Lot of people been raving about this location. Wanted to try it out. Good quality meat but personally, I didn't like it marinade that they put on the chicken and meat is way too sweet.

    The best of the best in the game by far! From the service to the quality of the meat and the marinade, oof! I've had other top quality meat markets but I always find myself coming back to Su Carnicería!

    So delicious! The quality of meat is amazing. This place was recommended by a family friend and I must admit totally worth it. The drive here is 45-50 minutes but I will make it every time we need carne asada for a special occasion. The meat always tastes delicious. The employees are always friendly and there is never a long wait. I love that they have a section with products only available in Mexico. Very clean and they always good music to set the party mood.

    Tasajo and Riblets

    Amazing. First time trying this place. Normally go to La carneceria. But I found my new spot! SO TENDER!!! Great flavor. Good thickness on the cuts! Local Fireman I will recommend this to all my crew. Thank you!!!

    Super clean shop. Lots of small groceries here too, snacks, candies, vegetables for cooking meat.

    Amazing carne, the people are great. They literally have the best chorizo I've ever had. The pineapple & habanero is fire, the ranchera is super high quality. Love this place..

    My 15lb tray of meat for hubbys party
    Drea L.

    The meat here is DELISH!! Got it for my husband's birthday party, everyone absolutely loved it! It's such a tiny space but the staff is quick to help and serve your meat in a tray if you prefer, which I did. I can't wait to go back, worth every penny! I failed to take a photo while grilling, next time for sure!

    So much bomb meat!
    Jizelle O.

    Amazing quality meat that tastes bomb! The flavor is so good and consistent every time. Definitely recommend the Carne Asada and Short Ribs but they also have so many different kinds of meat. They also sell tortillas, cheese, salsa, guac, really good Mexican chips and other things at the shop. Pricey but worth it. Really clean, good service and consistent. Love this spot!

    Seasoned ribs. Yummy!
    Vicki G.

    I do have to say the flavors of the seasoning are on point. They all don't taste the same. You can actually taste the meat which is key when you buy seasoned meats. The place is clean and in order. The service was awesome he explained each meat. I bought 4 different meats to compare. The ambiance is friendly by explaining the meats. Remember to let the meat sit out for an hour and grill on low. Enjoy! I will be back.

First, I arrived shortly after they opened on a Tuesday, which is important to highlight because they're closed on Mondays, and I suspect one dish I tried had the texture of leftovers (from the weekend). Part of me wants to try again later in the week, and day to see if this was a fluke. What I ordered was a rice bowl with braised pork belly and daily vegetables. Everything was good except the pork was dry and tough, clearly not braised that day or heated all the way through. I forget what my first choice was, but it wasn't available that day. My other item was the wonton soup, which also disappointed me for a few reasons. Portion size is good, but the broth tasted really thin, watery, and the wontons were overcooked and falling apart. The cause was they were forgotten about and the pot boiled over. Generally, you cook these below the boil to prevent the cloudy mess from disintegrating skins. The filling tasted fine, but again, overall flavors and balance was marred. I did, however, enjoy the lenon tea that comes with every combination meal. And, the employees are very nice, but the food didn't make the cut. They have a big menu and I've seen the skewers and hot pots in action so I know there's potential.

We ordered 11 lbs of prime ranchera plus some chorizos and fed about 20 people in our family. Not a single complaint. The ranchera was tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly.
