“Great place. Good quality of meats and these guys were very nice and willing to help me pick out the best cuts. Reasonable prices. Better than Safeway. Very helpful. I will return.”
“I’ve been going to Waylands for over 25 years. They have always been friendly and welcoming. Good selection as well inexpensive sandwiches made to order.”
“Best Chorizo you can find , they use real quality meat and not just leftover bits to make it , their al pastor is really good too , that’s what I come here for every week haha”
“Nice shop! Helpful butchers! Great stop if you're on foot - parking/driving around this area is straight loco. Be aware that they do actually close at 4pm, not 5pm as listed.”
“I was looking for some pork neck bones and feet for soup- this place delivered. It’s clean, fresh, and there’s a good selection. I wasn’t expecting a full service butcher of this quality inside an unassuming convenience store! Will be back.”
“The best service. Good quality meats and incredible selection if you like that. Too thick of bread on sandwich for me. They have a cute outdoor small patio to eat and it has a water dog bowl.”
“Hernandez Meat Market offers top quality fresh meat with great variety and unbeatable flavor. Whether you're shopping for a weekend BBQ or everyday meals, this spot delivers on freshness and service. A trusted local market for all your meat needs!”
“Oakland is a Great place to find halal meat. I went for chicken wings and ended up seeing live chickens, whole lambs, and every cut of beef imaginable...if you need halal meat THIS is the place to go.”
“I love Cream Co! Their quality is unbeatable and everything is fresh, flavorful, and sourced from local farms. You can really taste the difference.
Plus, their team is super helpful and friendly, making the whole experience even better. You can’t go wrong. Highly recommend!”

“The beef here is fresh, pricing is not bad. But you have to be clear of how much you’re going to need. If not, the butcher will sneak in a bit more. I understand they are just trying to sell more, but it’s not honest business practice.”
“What can I say this is the best meat market in Oakland and one of the best in the Bay Area. The pros: meat is fresh daily, clean, friendly butchers, not expensive meat and all the meat there is tender..The Con:rough neighborhood, no seafood, some of the customers are rough looking. Besides that this place has good prime meats”

“Been goin here for over 20 years fasho the best in East Oakland/San leandro matter fact it's 5/17/25 I'm finna go get my bbq meat packages for memorial day today”
“This is the only meat shop I would purchase my meats and hotpot essential. it is very small but don't let that fool you, they have all your needs from thinly sliced meat to bulk size. You just let the butcher know what you want. Their vegetables are always green and leafy, it never disappoints. The best thing, many varieties. There may be a language barrier but if they noticed you have been looking at an item for a while, they just hand you the best looking one. This weekend, I 2 packs of beef brisket and the marble on the beef was gorgeous, along with veggies, tofu and fish cakes. Everything was fresh! Let me just say, it was a delicious feast! It is hotpot season, best to come here for all your hotpot needs!”
“In the back of a general store. Love it here good prices and specials and meat is fresh meat was being delivered while I was there go check them out they take debit, ebt and have Apple Pay/tap to pay as well they do not except credit cards there is a small parking lot next to store you can park your car there and there are bus stops around so it’s public transit accessible”
“Great people great food, some of the men can be a lil rude but it's not personal. I have come here since I was a child. Big inventory. Ask for something if they don't have it”
“Best butcher shop in Oakland. Whatever you looking for, they got it and the guy will even cut it up for you. If I could give 10 stars I'd double it. They clean their chitlin's, I bought a bucket and checked them when I got home, them sumbitches was clean!”
“Best sandwiches in the bay! Get the classic and thank me later. Great staff that are always super sweet and quick to make the orders. Can’t stop coming back and don’t plan on it either :)”
“They are wonderful they have great quality lamb and goat, friendly outstanding service. They gave me a couple of complementary nectarines with my meat purchase just because. I like this business.”
“Sometimes visiting the International food section at your local grocery store can be so unsatisfying. I always leave knowing there is so much more they aren't showing me.
This week I decided I wanted to make tamales for a post Christmas celebration.
But I wanted to make everything from scratch. And I knew that Safeway wouldn't provide me with the basics I needed.
If you are searching for a clean, friendly well stocked market with everything you need to make beautiful moles, chili verde tacos or the most authentic tamales visit Supermercado Mi Tierra.
They have six locations sprinkled throughout the East Bay.”
“I like the selection here. Service at registers is hit or miss. Same where you get the guacamole and carnitas too. A smile goes a long way girls ask your security guard to show you.”
“Yesterday I went to that very nice place around 5 p.m. The employees are very friendly; I interacted with two of them, and they were both very kind. I asked one of them to give me the freshest liver they had, and he did. They do a great job at that butcher shop. I've been going there for years, but lately it's changed, and they seem to care more about their customers' opinions.”
“Well-priced (for organic) neighborhood butcher with a long-time in operation feel. Extensive meat and poultry section, along with broth and marrow bones, tamales, sausages and housemade stock.
Kind and friendly service.”
“Love the selection at this place. Like tens of types of cheese, lots of different flour types you can’t find anywhere else, and delicious middle eastern snacks. Try the cardamom ice cream 😋 and you’ll know what I’m talking about.”
