I am not biased I love the diversity of food in the neighborhood. Especially the long stemmed cebolla and cactus leaves. Most items are seasonal so the variety is always changing. Man this place rocks cause its open like 24/7. I came by before Thanksgiving to pick up some main ingredients and was not disappointed. They also have a meat counter in the back for fresh beef, poultry and pork products I will surely will be using more of what this store offers.

That said, it's 100% fully focused on Mexican specialties, so if that's your thing, put this place on your radar. There's nothing being cooked or served, nor seemingly much else when it comes to "ready to eat" fare. In fact, I'm not even sure if there's any "take away and cook later" fare. Rather, it's more a place for basic staples if you happen to like cooking Mexican grub. Kicking cumin, dried smoked poblano chiles and other spices, a small cooler full of cheeses and chorizo. It's nothing like many markets in the Southwest, but then again, Brooklyn hasn't been a typical entry point for Mexican migration. This place caters to those wanting some of the easily preserved/dried flavors of home. In time, I hope we'll have more access to fresh chiles (beyond jalapenos), unique herbs, avocados, etc. Until then, make do with what we have - and this place is kernel that will grow.

It's a tiny Mexican…read moregrocery store which also seems to provide fresh, but limited butcher-on-premise meats, vegetables. More importantly they have a small grill in the back in which they cook pork and beef tacos. Very delicious pork tacos. Moist and easy to chew pork skin with slivers of fat attached, add some cilantro, seasoning and the right amount of hot sauce, and you are in serious business. Although the beef is juicy and shredded (not ground, thank the Lawd), I found it a little underwhelming. I can't put my finger on what it's missing during the cooking, but certainly the cilantro and hot sauce act as a nice compliment. Both meats are cooked to perfection. Moist and meaty. Not having seasoned beef isn't a deal breaker for me, I will still order it. I also bought a pound of chichirones (sp?). Nice fried out and airy crispy skin with mealy fat attached and a little bit of salt added. Sinning Jew Heaven. Along with the half pound of head cheese made with pork tongue, spleen and cheeks, house mole-I'm looking forward to the feast. To elaborate more on the meats and veggies: I'm giving them a thumbs-up. Admittedly I didn't buy any raw meat or veggies. I'm going by aesthetics. There isn't a trace of rotten smell anywhere. The chicken and red meats looked perfectly colored and the veggies looked crisp with no wilting what so ever. I will buy some chicken feet and pork soon.

This butcher shop has a strong rapport with the community and I think that is much to do with the Randazzo's attention to detail as well as bringing that Italian family warmth to each customer. My family has been enjoying these meats for many years and I recommend them to any friends or coworkers that live in Brooklyn. My favorite cut is a juicy ribeye steak and they are perfectly marbled every time. The chicken cutlets are thinly sliced and fry to perfection. Do yourself a favor and try parkway meats, I guarantee you'll be coming back for years. P.S I always go to Nick, not only will he cut your meat but he'll give you a good laugh too. What a mahoo!

Since moving to NYC almost 3 years ago, I've finally come to understand why shops like this one are cultural cornerstones of neighborhoods across this great city: Amid the nonstop frenetic pace, constant stress and feeling of anonymity that's inescapable here, there's a real comfort in knowing there's a place down the block that has what you need, knows who you are, and is there for you every day.
