After years of chewy Italian sausage with additives and questionable meat, it's a big upgrade. The meat is tender and flavored well (not overwhelming). At $5.99/lb, it's only a couple bucks more than Target, but much higher quality. Smoked ham hocks are kinda hard to find, so I'm so excited that Gem not only carries them regularly, they are the full shank. That makes it way meatier. It wasn't even more expensive than the big grocery stores. The butcher even cut mine into smaller pieces so that the flavor would come out of the bone better. The meat around the bone is so thick--it's a world of difference! And last, but not least, the staff are all very helpful and friendly. As a newbie, they took a few minutes to introduce me to their store and philosophy. It feels like being served at a gas station of the 50s. They also sell various condiments, snacks, cookies and canned goods, many of quality Italian brands. When I come into some more money (I wish!), I'd love to try the more premium cuts they offer. One day!

Once I got there, the guys were friendly and attentive. In addition to different meats, they had seafood and innards in the fridge. On the shelves, they had all sorts of seasoning, tortilla chips, some produce, charcoal, and other condiments. The older man who rung us out at the register was totally like your friendly elder neighbor with white hair and glasses. This made it seem like a nice mom n pop butchery. Before they wrapped it up, they asked if I wanted seasoning. I said sure. When I got home to open it, the meat smelled really nice. It was $165 ish for 5 ish pounds of bone-in prime rib. It was tied up already, and maybe I should have asked them to help me trim the fat. I didn't see if they sold horse radish, but the digital meat thermometer they had was $16.99.

I heard from a friend that Francisco's has good meat variety! So for Christmas 2025 as it was my turn to host, I decided to go and check it out! Let me tell you -- the moment I walked in, I saw so many things in one sight. The atmosphere was smaller than I thought but plenty enough to shop around. I saw a fresh meat section with butchers working hard, a packaged meat section with meat cuts packaged and ready to go, there was also a salsa and condiment section, as well as a stacked tortilla shelf with different sizes and types. I grabbed about 18-20 pounds of meat as well as two bags of tortilla and it all came out to around $68 total. That honestly is the best pricing I got from any carneceria! But the important part is the taste and I wouldn't know until I got home and cooked it... The taco meats I purchase: carne asada, pollo and adobada all came out so good! I purchased the marinated meats and the seasoning and marination was great! I definitely will be back here for my meat purchasing!

Staff is helpful and if you aren't sure what cut you want to buy on the raw meats...just ask! The customer behind me said his Dad wanted pork chops to smoke on the Traeger.

This place used to be one of my favorite meat markets, which makes this experience even more…read moredisappointing. Today we decided to give them another chance instead of doing our usual one-hour drive to buy quality meat. Unfortunately, it was a mistake. We purchased about 5 pounds of picaña, priced at $13 per pound, expecting a premium cut from a market that promotes itself as one of the best around. What we received was mostly fat. A proper picaña should have a fat cap, but this was excessive -- large portions were simply not usable meat. For the price we paid, the quality was unacceptable. To make matters worse, the store is advertising meat specials at $9 per pound, but once you're there, you're told that picaña is "no longer part of the special," even though it's still being promoted in a way that suggests otherwise. That felt misleading. At this point, we would much rather continue making the one-hour drive to purchase quality meat elsewhere because we only buy the best and expect honesty and consistency when paying premium prices. Sadly, this visit confirmed that standards have gone downhill. We won't be returning.
