Lard, carnitas, home made chorizo and nopal… add home made mexican salsa and you are good to go!

I am a dedicated patron of this market for the following reasons:1. lard - the real deal - great quality made in house - for sale in pint containers.2. thin grilling meats covered in a house marinade - so amazing to grill with almost no work. always impresses friends. i like to ask for the thinly sliced beef to be covered in the marinade.3. new sausages that the Butcher just started making, perfectly spiced and delicious. eating one tonight made me realize i need to write this review.4. bulk chilis, beans, huge bags of hibiscus - spice wall. very comprehensive. only thing i have not found here is epazote - which i think they may get fresh seasonally.5. homemade salsas (so hot!) in the fridge area.While the vegetable section is very small, mostly just limes, tomatillos, peppers, cilantro, some seasonal speciality items like chayote or nopales, the real draw is the butcher shop. the butcher is super friendly a total food geek who loves to give advice and has steered me in some really good directions. the shop is small but the items are purposefully curated and dang delicious. Support this family run business and you will be rewarded.

Great carnitas

My kids had cravings for tacos on a sunny day.After some research, I came across “Carniceria Azteca” and wow! We experienced one of the best and really fresh “Cecinas, Arrachera and Chorizo”.We found also “Quesillo” from Oaxaca and even “epazote”, so we also had fabulous Quesadillas at home.This small Butcher / Grocery Store is a hidden gem in Seattle.Great Customer Service provided by Marcos!

Someone got me a cook book called Nopalito that inspired me to cook more of the Mexican foods I usually love to get eating out. This is a great place to get meats. The owner is really friendly and has been kind about adding sauces to my meats and introducing me to new things, like their chorizo!

Their chorizo is amazing!

Best selection of dried chilies in Seattle. Small but precise selection of Mexican groceries. Great butcher. Love that we have a place like this to go in our city.

Great little carniceria. Good selection of meat and small area with fresh vegetables. Also has fully stocked dry goods and dairy/cheese.

Chicharrones on the weekends. Is one of my favorite things. They have things like avocado in the back if you ask for it, radishes

Cool store with Mexican goods. I went there searching for a tortilla press and they hand them on hand. Friendly staff and tasty goods.

Such a gem of a spot tucked away in upper ID/little Saigon. Fresh house-made chorizo and a great selection of other meats, and a very well thought out inventory of chiles, tortillas, flours and other essential Mexican groceries. Ownership extremely helpful and welcoming. Excited to have found them and Ill be back often.

There is a varied selection and some hard to find items. I stop here for their fresh made chorizo and masa. They also stock Mexican sweet bread, candies, nopales, soups, cookies. Super friendly staff, too. It is absolutely worth a trip.

Excellent quality of meat and Marco is great I am defiantly Impressed with their service .

I don’t know why Zack gave 4 stars because this place is 5.Carne Asada-they slice and cube in house how you like for free. Great prices. All packaged chiles, spices, and seasonings.Pan dulce, cakes & cookies.Tres leches cake by the slice. Fresh flan. Fresh masa. 15 different desserts. Hot sauce. Energy drinks. Jarritos.Very kind hardworking staff.

Special place. Mexican groceries. Delicious chorizo.

They sell fresh epazote and cecina. Also, pan dulce.

Best place to buy meat, including their best seller: CHORIZO 😊

Fresh meat at great price. Bit hard to find at first since entrance is by tue ally way but inside you always are greeted happily by the employees, which seems to be all family. They also carry different kinds of mexican sodas that are so good alomg with spices and ingredience for ethentic latin dishes.

I bought some of the pork chorizo. Loved it! Only problem was that I didnt buy enough!

All the Latin ingredients you cant find anywhere else at a reasonable price

Great inventory, great prices :)

Ok

The cured meat is very good, but the bad thing is that they do not accept the food card and at the moment it is very important due to the situation we are experiencing.

Carnicería Azteca, is the best store in Seattle, for their kindness, attention and respect. They are very professional to serve customers.

1- HIGH PRICES $$$ ON COMPARATION WITH OTHER MEXICAN STORES AND EVERYBODY WORKING THERE HAD A STONE FACE NOT FRIENDLY ATTITUDE2- DONT HAVE MONEY 💰 FOR PAY OFF YOU A TRANSFER MONEY IF YOU GO THERE TO RECEIVE A TRANSFER MONEY.REALLY !!!
