ABSOLUTELY love this place. I have been shoping for my meat here for about 10 years. When we would have carne asadas, all our guests loved it and would ask where it was from, La Venadita of course πŸ˜‰ . I even purchase this meat to take over with family to Moreno Valley because they love it so much. I feel like the prices are good and Im always happy to support small businesses. It does tend to get a bit busy, but the staff if very good at making sure they provide a great customer service. They are very quick and efficient.

This store has the best marinaded skirt steak ready to grill. A bit too pricey but excellent flavor. They have onion bulbs and marinaded chicken to grill as well. They have an organized system of taking orders using numbered tickets which to this day works effectively and efficiently. It is a congested a lot of the time and has small aisles but is well worth the products.

We purchased $250.00 of marinated meat (carne asada) and the next day when starting cooking it we noticed all the meat had almost NO SEASONING at all just a little seasoning salt and thats it. It seems like they seasoned it fast because they were very busy. We were extremely disappointed because thats the only reason why we went to this meat market because we love their marinade. We will definitely never go back again.

This place has the best carne asada and bbq chicken... it is so flavorful and just delicious. I’m sure everything else there is great, but those are my favorites. Everyone is friendly and super fast. Definitely the best for weekend grill time.

There is always a crowd in here for a reason. Quality meat and produce. I dont know about everyone else, but the ceviche is the star here. Moved out of state, and have to comeback in for a bucket of ceviche and a jarritos cola.

Review β„–23

I have had the meat before and it is good but going there on memorial day was ridiculous! Not enough staff for the 100 people waiting for the meat counter. After a 30 min wait, I gave my number to someone else and left. There is other meat markets that staff better and meat quality is good. They said my wait was gonna be about 1.5 hours. No thanks!

Order 3 lbs of meat for tacos and I ended up with 2 lbs of all hard fat not to mention the poor customer service skills from employees there. Please don’t waste your time most produce are in extreme poor condition, should be toss in the trash and not sold to customers. Very disappointing overall.

Love this place, but you need to know how to speak Spanish! The meat guys are not very diverse in English so you can end up with the wrong type of meat. But the meat is fresh, and the produce is great.

No line and parking available. Was in and out with my ranchera meat which has the best seasoning, ready for your carne asada. Costs about $10 per pound but totally worth. On holiday weekends, expect to stand in line (even during the pandemic) so plan ahead.

It was alright nothing special about this place just a Mexican meat market with huge long lines between 30 minutes to 2hr wait depending on where you are at in line when its the holidays and slammed busy. And there was Mexican guy sitting outside the bench selling sweet tamales when I went with my sister. They were all corn I didnt think they were all good besides looking like&taste like a did pale white.

This is my spot to Throw a Mexican BBQ. The Carne Asada & Chicken have some of the best marinates, the meat melts in your mouth & the chicken is juicy. The carne asada is a lil expensive but well worth it, its a small meat market but the service is fast. FYI if your gunna Pick up some meat during a holiday you can call in an order and they will have it ready for you, just go straight to the cashier line when you get there and tell them your name and your there for a call in order.

I love the marinated carne and chicken, but my last visit they charged my chicken as carne asada so instead of $11... It was $35.. luckily I noticed before I left the store. The cashier was nice and she gave back the difference in cash. This was the slowest day that I have seen here and a mistake like this should have been avoided. Had I not noticed on the spot... It would have been a nightmare once I had driven home.

Must go to place!! It gets very crowded. You have to pay close attention to the number calling, if you dont you will have to fight for your spot, not much with the other customers but the employees, they rush, rush rush. But over all I can let much of that go, the prepared azada and chicken are the best out there.

Some of the best marinated beef and chicken spots Ive ever been. The chicken was the biggest surprise. Lines and parking lot can get long and crowded, especially during BBQ holidays but totally worth it. I come here when I can to get the meat.

Wonderful meat market. My family and I always come to this place. If ordering over 10 lbs of meat, you can call to order ahead of time and just pick it up with no wait, which is cool when having party.🍺However, because of the fantastic quality of meat, it gets soooooooo crowded and no place to park (hopefully across the street is available those busy times). Hence, 4 stars... Wait is seriously super crazy if you go when busy. πŸ˜‘Ceviche and Guacamole are also good. It is not spicy but tastes great. We bought Chicken fajita and Carne Asada today. Both are delicious.🀩 Chicken fajita was pretty cheap. About $2 per pound. They have Paletas and oh boy, they are yummy❀ I bought 2 paletas and paid $2.19 for two.I wish they could do something about the small store that gets packed!.... again, because of great quality meat. πŸ˜‹I recommend this place to anyone. πŸ˜†

Nice, friendly, & clean carnicerΓ­a....very fresh carne asada. In fact, I bought 8 lbs. of the carne asada for an employee lunch and the maintenance & garden crew that work with me all loved it and even gave me compliments....that is definately saying something. The butchers behind the counter were very helpful and answered the questions I had with complete respect and a smile. Definitely a store worthy of an excellant recommendation.
