“Its a nice tiny shop! It feels like your in Tijuana at the corner shop! The customer service is great, the meat is flavorful, and there is even produce and chips and even mexican candy! It's a great store for being hidden away”
“Amazing house sausages. French dip sausage...just imagine...its yummy. Jalapen cheddar sausages are perfect too. Get hanger steak here. It has the best beef flavor imaginable.”
“Small, but functional selection of comestibles, leaning towards Mexican or basic Cowboy cuisine. Lots of unique snack options, sweet and savory.
Sandwiches are delicious, but ordering kiosk is difficult to get right. Ask questions if you are a novice. The tortas are awesome! Looking forward to trying burritos and other items.”
“I am absolutely crazy about this place. They have a wonderful craft beer AND soda collection, they have fancy meats and spices, and their workers are quite kind and personable. Although I'm only in the area for a week, I most certainly will be back. If you like curated shopping experiences and excellent customer service, check this place out!”
“Man the rib eye is no joke . I’ve never cooked it flawlessly, their delicious meat made it so easy for me . The shrimp and lobster tail was on point as well , all fresh . I will be coming weekly now . ???”
“Tried The Wise Ox for the first time and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. We got the dry-aged burger, beef fat fries, and Philly cheesesteak.
The burger was probably my favorite it was really juicy and well seasoned, and honestly better than In-N-Out. The fries were also really good, and the Philly cheesesteak had great cheesy flavor.
Everything we tried was delicious. We’ll definitely be back!”
“This review is for the tortillas sold here.We usually buy our tortillas somewhere else but it happened to be raining and we didn’t want to drive that far out. We yelped “tortillas” and we found this store.The tortillas were just serving and they were still warm. We got home and make tacos and we enjoyed them! Really good.”

“This place is not just a carniceria... It's an experience!
The people are wonderfully helpful, but it is busy. So know what you want.
Be sure to park in the big lot across the street, grab a number right away, and post up. Plan to wait 20-30 minutes to get your meat cut.”
“Could not find fresh veal shanks for osso bucco anywhere local. Found them online. Super fresh and great prices. Fantastic service. Worth the long drive from North County.”
“Excellent quality and great prices. The meat is sold in large family/bulk portions, but we just separate it into ziplock bags and it works perfectly. The meat is amazing for grilling/BBQ, and it’s definitely more affordable than other stores. Highly recommended.”
“I probably couldn't praise this business enough. Victor is very down to earth and understanding. He treats his employees fair and I always leave happy. They carry everything as a grocery store would and there is a taco shop inside as well. Try it out for yourself. Yum”

“Just stopped at this random market because I saw the taco sign outside. The tacos are very good. It's basically a family owned small market. There was so much random stuff, I may come back to look around.”

“What a great selection!!! I came here and bought some kibbeh that are handmade and frozen in a batch of 8. I deep fried them and piped them with labneh i bought to look like footballs for the Super Bowl. Served them with toum to dip. They were such a hit and delicious! I want to come back here and get more handmade foods from the freezer.
Also bought some rose water and a big thing of olive oil for $10 and made an olive oil citrus cake with rose water.”
“Best meat I’ve found in town. The marbling on the beef was exceptional, and great custumer service. The gentlemen that helped me was very kind and helpful. Will definitely be coming back for more . Thanks Ramon.”
“I recently discovered this place as it was recommended by my brother. I buy the seasoned paleta or lomo de res and it is delicious! The slices are thin and the texture is perfect. My kids usually are not fans of carne asada but when I buy it here they love it. I highly recommend this place. Their staff is also very friendly and helpful.”
“Nice people in the warehouse, getting into the dock kind of difficult but nothing you can’t handle, just get out of your truck several times to make sure is all clear, offloading very fast! Thanks guys!!?”
“Best jerky i have ever had! I would have given 5 stars but the slow shipping and having to pay for shipping regardless of the order amount deters me from ordering from JL.”
“This store is a great addition to the community. They are always gracious about checking when I call to see if they have something in stock and will always order something if they don’t have what I want.”
“This store has a great variety of meats, and seafood. Place is clean and friendly customers service. I love there ceviche and guacamole, this is a must try, it’s fresh every Monday!!! I highly recommend this store.”
