“Now after you look at this place you would think oh my god no way this is going to be good. Well let me tell you something, the chicken is really good and fresh.We get the 2 different chickens and my mother in law makes the best Mexican Chicken soup/stew ever. No other soup can compare to hers.We also get the chicken wings from her too. Really good place for poultry.”

“Everything I have had from TMC has been the best…I have been a regular here since the day they opened.
My go to is always the prime filet (which my boys really enjoy as well) but I change it up and go with the grass fed ribeyes, black opal wagyu, prime NY, porterhouse and once had one of the large tomahawk steaks.
My boys and I also love the filet burgers and TMC smokehouse burgers.
The staff is very knowledgeable and make great recommendations.
Here are some photos of what I have enjoyed…”

“If you get the chance, you must visit this carnicería!! It is an amazing spot with high quality and authentic meats. A must for your carne asadas, and every bite will be juicy and rich with flavor!! The owners are super nice and helpful:) Everyone there will make you feel welcomed!”
“If you’re looking for fresh baked goods, fresh produce, and the most amazing meat selection you should come here. Very friendly staffed and I’m told that it’s a family owned business. The girl at the register, Basak, was very friendly and helped me find an item that I couldn’t find.”
“My god I miss this place! Do yall offer shipping to other states? Haha I’d order MONTHLY. This place is hands down the BEST butcher shop I’ve ever been to. And I have lived all over the country.
Seriously do yall ship any of your products?”
“Recommend 1000%
Eggs get so fluffy when you cook them?
Chicken ? is really flavor-ful.
Bread is OK
Haven't tried there mole selection that will be next review!!!!”
“Ordered a 14lb brisket and had my son in law do a low and slow smoke and I gotta say well worth the money. The guys behind the counter are super nice and helpful. Remember cash only but well worth it!”
“I'm sure it's been said before, but this is not the regular Costco. This place carries different items or the same items in different packaging. No clothes, no gas, no food court. Just serious business shopping.
Set up more for retail shops and offices, you'll find truly bulk items in everything. Meats, cheese, Sodas, seafood, vegetables... large packages. That doesn't mean you can't use it at home. Just keep on mind that some items don't come in boxes of cans, it may be in 120oz cans such at tomato sauce or olives. Or you may find 30 lbs of shrimp.
Keep an eye on the coupons in your mailer. They will sometimes list fantastic deals on somethings. 65 taquitos for $9!! Feeds a party easily.”
“Best prices for grass fed beef. The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly. Especially Marty. Marty is extremely kind and gives excellent service. He really does his best to help people however he can. Thanks for the great recommendations Marty.”
“Lovely shop and friendly staff ? visited December 13th 2025 and ordered a Chicago dog and Italian both super delicious ? MUST visit! Two thumbs ? ? up hehe ???”
“We had been buying at Vua Kho Bo all the times but this time we decide to give 168 a try because the service at the other place gotten worse; they really dont respect their clients at all. The service at 168 was great, friendly, and the taste of the jerkies are really good too!! COMEEEEE!! It’s amazing !”

“If you are gonna to do a carne asada I recommend you get you meat here bomb ! And the beers ice cold check em out five stars ! Shout out to the homies puro punjab!!!!”
“Great place to go for about anything from a small market. You don't see many markets around the water especially on the boardwalk. So it a very good place to go if you don't want to grab your keys and drive out to find a market . Just stay in your comfort zone and walk on in . Very convenient place to shop . Nicolas likes meeting all kinds of his furry friends to sniff , and bark at.”
“I’m so happy to find a small, local meat market! It doesn’t look fancy, but the shop is clean and the service is quick. The prices are lower than your average, chain grocery store, and they have a good variety of meats that are nice quality. It’s a good option if you want meats in Asian marinades, and they have steaks as well. If you’re looking to make a big purchase of something specific for a party, I would call in advance to reserve an order, though.”

“They are quick . Do not be in a hurry to turn around from the end of the street. First check in with them and ask how to back up. The parking yard in front of the building is also theirs so you can pull inside that yard and back straight up which is way easier. If that option is not available, be really careful while making a U-turn from the end as the cars parked would be a real pain and most probably you would have to find their owner and have one or two cars moved as there is no other way unless you can back up on a tight spot from blind side”
“The beat meat around. I travel from San Juan Capistrano for this Resturant quality meat. Never disappoints and always super fresh. A pleasure to serve to guests and family alike”
“This is an amazing place for ceviche! It's juicy, sour, freshly made and the store is clean! Taco Tuesdays definitely is worth the drive. Carne asada is succulent and flavorful.”
“Love this meat market. I live in Long Beach and always come her for my meat. I’m never disappointed. It’s always nice and clean, meat is always fresh and tender. Not to mention the marinade is amazing. Staff is always friendly and helpful. If you haven’t been here it’s a must try believe me you’ll come back again and again.”
“Very friendly staff and delicious tacos!! Had a taco de buche it was amazing. And their carnitas with cueritos were to die for! Will be coming back for more tacos next time we're back in Cali.”
“Whenever I'm in Santa Ana, I make it a habit to stop by the Santa Ana Meat Market and purchase a couple of pounds of carne asada. I've been coming here since the 90s, and out of all the carnicerias, Santa Ana Meat Market is among the best.”
“This is my go-to for healthy and fresh meat unfortunately, majority of grocery stores have been captured and they’re all corporate so quality and grocerieshealth can’t find at any chain grocery store.”

“We lived for 4 years around the corner from the supermarket, a quiet area. We loved buying fruit, juices and salads there for my children and the delicious desserts. It's a shame we had to move, but one day I will go again to buy their delicious salads and we will also I liked to buy steak at random, very delicious by the way.”
“I went a few times during the weekend to buy pan dulce which was decent, and this morning (Tuesday) I went before 8am and was shocked at how crowded it was. I initially was going for their tamales which I've tried before and they were dry and "just ok," enough to satisfy my craving but after seeing everyone in line for the hot food I stood in line as well. They sell tortas with frijoles (beans) with your choice of meat (carne asada, chorizo, chicharrón rojo and verde) i ordered the chicharrón rojo and OMG!! Delicious! I had the guy add salsa and jalapeños which was a mistake because the chicharrón rojo already has a nice kick to it so after my first bite I took out the jalapeños. The few times I went I didn't notice the hot food so not sure if it only sells during certain times. It gets packed in the mornings with people heading to work and the line can get long, I waited about 10 minutes not bad. With my torta and can soda it was $5.77! *Update* tortas sell in the morning until 8amThe reason for my 4 stars instead of 5 is because I saw the produce section and it was a bit gross, the carrots and lettuce looked old. I will be going back only because the convenient location and for their tortas!”
“Good morning, it seemed like a very good store. It's the first time I've gone in to buy. I liked their food. They have a good price and the products they sell.”
“I discovered this butcher shop not long ago, and ever since then, I only buy my pork belly here. The fat-to-meat ratio is perfect — not too greasy, just rich and flavorful. I grilled it on a grill I bought from Zion Market, let a bit of the fat render out, and it turned out unbelievably delicious. I couldn’t believe how good it tasted at home. The quality of the meat is always excellent. Highly recommend!”
“They don't speak English so it was tough navigating around. I went for the fish. They seemed fresh not great prices but weren't to bad either. They also clean the fish there which was nice. They weigh the fish before cleaning.”
