    What a beautifully organized store! It is so clean and so well laid out that there is every type of meat or seafood that you could ever want to buy. I believe it was Vicky who showed me around the store. She was delightful. Great prices, especially on the bundled items.

    They offered a lot interesting meats, seafood and desserts. I picked up a package of Elk meat to try. It tasted just like beef steak but a lot softer. Definitely will come back to try their other products again. The store is spacious and clean. Plenty of parking. Friendly service.

    Great price

    Wow! First time shopping at Wild fork, they have the greatest prices, with a large selection of frozen meats and more. Cashier assisted in signing me up for the membership. Love free shipping! Very clean and quiet shopping experience.

    This is by far the best place to buy meat and fish. The quality is excellent and the prices are very good. The staff is friendly and helpful. The variety is awesome. I especially love their marinated meats. They also have appetizers and desserts. I am so glad that they opened up here in LBC.

    I was introduced to Wild Fork from a Yelp event then returned. I love the concept and price of everything in this store. When I talk to people about it I try to explain that it's close to Costco prices without the excessive portions. They have nearly every meat and seafood, as well as sides and desserts for you to decide from. It's essentially a one stop shop when you consider their beef tallow spray, seasonings, and everything. The store is neatly organized so you can go to poultry, sausages, specific cuts of beef, seafood, etc. It's a dream. The staff are always around to help with ideas for meals if you need it as well. I had to share a favorite steak buy of mine because what a deal for two steaks

    Tristan was so helpful in helping me find the best deal and cut of meat. He taught me a little bit and gave good recommendations of how to cook it. Also saved me $6! Not only is the meat a catch, so is he!!

    Still a great place to shop for the frozen meats (marinated & non marinated) and specify meats plus they do have spices, veggies, and desserts...of course all frozen. Great staff, friendly & happy to help you. Clean place and easy & big parking lot.

    Let me start by saying this up front: Wild Forks isn't a restaurant... but if it was, I'd definitely be a regular! This place is more like the "bougie" boutique of meat markets--and I mean that in the best way possible. The store was immaculately clean, beautifully organized, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Whether you know exactly what you're looking for or just want to explore, they've got you covered. You'll find everyday essentials like premium cuts of beef, chicken, and pork, but what really makes Wild Forks stand out is their more adventurous selection: frog legs, alligator meat, rabbit, veal, quail--you name it, they probably have it. It's like a meat lover's playground. If you're looking for high-quality, specialty meats, or just want to feel a little extra while shopping for your next BBQ, Wild Forks is definitely the place.

    What an incredible find - this is the meat shop of my dreams. It's well laid out with reasonable prices and am extensive selection, evening from beef, chicken, pork, fish, and shellfish to things like alligator and ostrich. I was given plenty of space and time to shop, with gentle occasional check-ins from the staff. I bought a lobe of foie gras and couldn't believe it was $10. It was my first time cooking it but at that price, I was less terrified about messing it up. It turned out incredible. Wild Fork is easy to get to by bus which means it will be my first stop for meats from now on. Next up, the picanha!

    Jose H.

    First time here. I've been meaning to stop by but haven't had the chance. Came here today and was surprise at the selection and prices and how more affordable they are. Clean and well organized with big signs and prices. That's appreciated. Friendly staff. Great selection of hard to find meats. Just what we needed in Long Beach.

    Ken C.

    Wild Fork, located in Long Beach, is a pretty new addition to 2nd street and Studebaker. Prices are reasonable and they have so many options for exotic meats like elk and bison, offals (organ meat), premium steak cuts (picanha, wagyu cuts, skirt steak), marinated meats, and seafood. Their meat is blast frozen after being butchered and they're stored in freezers. I think this is a pro and it's a con. The pro is that you get access to a wide variety of proteins that are preserved at peak flavor and at a reasonable price. The con is the inconvenience of having to defrost whatever you buy here for 24+ hours (if you let it defrost in the fridge). Nevertheless, I was pretty happy with being able to get a pound of picanha, 2.5lbs of chicken thighs, 2lbs of tilapia, 1lb marinated ground chicken, sticky toffee pudding, and marinated beef for tacos for ~$35. I definitely would not be able to get that type of value at Ralphs. And, if I went to costco, then I would have gotten the same type of value, but I would have spent $150 for 5x the portion size. I definitely think that Wild Fork is a meat market that I can work into my rotation!

    Okay, talk about a legitimate hidden gem. We almost didn't find La Española Meats, that's how…read morehidden it kinda is. Follow your GPS and don't just start winging it at the end because if you miss the turn onto Doble Avenue, you're going back around the block. It's in Harbor City in a warehouse, which makes a lot more sense once you know what the place actually is. La Española has been importing Spanish foods for more than 40 years, and they also make their own Spanish-style charcuterie right here in California. Being tucked into a warehouse near the Port of LA somehow makes the whole thing feel like a miniature local adventure. When you first walk in you have to acclimate for a second because every inch of the place is filled with something. Oils, olives, vinegars, paprika and other seasonings, wine, cheeses, meats, paella pans, and then random specialty things like soaps and room sprays. The neroli ones smelled fantastic, btw. I went in with a list because we were heading out to the desert and had decided we were making paella. We already had a carbon steel paella pan at home basically begging for the job, so this was happening. We left with sweet and smoked paprika, Spanish chorizo, a couple different oils, sherry vinegar, and several cheeses and meats from the refrigerated section. Plus, of course, some things that were definitely not on the list. Also, if you go on Saturday, they make paella in a gigantic pan behind the building and offer several varieties to go or to eat on the patio. We happened to be there on a Saturday and somehow stayed committed to making our own, even though theirs smelled delicious. I did get the skinny though, and they recommend ordering ahead. Side note: not only did they have everything we needed, we were clearly set up for success. See image for proof of concept.

I'll definitely come back for some of their tinned fish and boquerones (it's just a tasty anchovy). The staff were really kind and helpful. I felt bad browsing for such a long time, so I bought a sandwhich. At first I thought it was a little pricey. Then I thought it was a little small. Then I took a bite, holy cow it's worth it. I ate the first half as is, then the second have i ate layer by layer to taste each type of meat and roasted pepper. They give you a little cup of delicious olives and I highly recommend dipping your bread into the leftover brine. I'm looking forward to taking my friends here.

They helped him pick the right cut & optional if you want it seasoned or as is. There's a few potatoes, onions, and seasoning in the shelves. A great one stop shop option!

They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!

Every fall and winter weekend--and even on a few summer mornings--it's my destination for a bowl that consistently delivers. The broth is remarkably clean yet deeply savory, allowing the slow-cooked flavor of the tripe and spices to shine without feeling heavy or greasy. Finished with crisp white onion, fragrant cilantro, and accompanied by warm, hand-rolled corn tortillas, it's the kind of meal that reminds you why menudo has earned its place as a beloved tradition.
