“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!”
“Love this local spot. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and you can tell they work hard to keep everything running smooth. They have a huge variety of fresh products and authentic items you don’t always find at other stores.
One of my favorite parts is being able to grab my wife’s favorite hard seltzer here. They carry local brand in both 24oz cans and 12 packs, and they always keep it fully stocked.
Great people, great selection, and a place you can count on every visit.”
“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?”

“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.”
“Visiting from out of state. I was looking for a preserved fruit given to me several months ago that I liked. The product was from their competitor but I visited this store based on google reviews. Wonderful experience. Lady that helped me was patient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to deal with. No sales pressure and got to try several different products. Found and purchased what I was looking for.”

“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 best choice for your Asian bbq/hotpot needs.
Heard of CAB from an online friend and finally checked them out as I became more picky about my meat quality. I was pleasantly surprised to find the cuts I needed: brisket, ribeye, *beef belly*, lamb, and more at VERY competitive prices.
The price per pound beats the nearby grocery stores by several dollars, with quality on the upper end of choice if not prime. The marbling is pretty consistent across the variety of meats without excessive fat. They also have a variety of marinated meats for Korean bbq as well.
The workers are very friendly and helpful. I was looking for some pork belly but they were fresh out, and was told the next time it’d be cut up and they’re also available to call and check ahead. I hope to see them again for many more years!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“If you want awesome authentic Mexican food go to La Pradera!Best frijoles and arroz (rice and beans)!Great deals on taquitos, ceviche, Chile rellenos, and street tacos during their daily specials. Ever so GOOD and reasonably priced”
“I used to not like chorizo because I had a bad first experience trying it. However, my girlfriend was so excited to make chorizo for me saying Aurora’s had the best chorizo. I tried it for her sake and was so surprised at how good it was. She always hypes this place up, and I can see why. I even went with her to buy the chorizo, and the girl working the counter was so friendly and nice. 5 out of 5 for sure!”

“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!”

“This is a great place to go shopping to get all your groceries.It is very economical and efficient, it is a very good place for cleaning and it is a place where they treat you very kindly.”
“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.”
“Awesome experience at Saikou Niku. The owner (?) was very nice and knowledgeable and recommended the right cut of meats without trying to upsell you. The price is very reasonable for the quality. We bought a bit of everything for our at-home Korean bbq. Better meat than any restaurant and cheaper too.”

“Love this place. They have everything you need to throw a great party and very reasonable price. We bought a shoulder blade cut, snow crabs, crawfish, and it turned out amazing. Our guests kept on complimenting and that how we knew. Highly recommend!”
“The best Mexican market in the area and possibly the happiest place in the neighborhood besides the parks and beaches. Excellent selection, friendly, helpful & adorable staff and definitely the best place to grab chilies, avocados, tomatillos, key limes, tropical fruits & tortillas (the BEST!). Also super handy for basic household stuff like tp ????. As an aside they play the most festive music and the vibe is ????????”
“Good place I find many things that I need and apart from everything I like their prices a small market but it maintains good prices but mainly the kindness of its employees is very good I recommend this place I hope you always visit it just as I visit this store often ❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
