“We are staying in Manhattan Beach for a month and looked for a local butcher. Found Manhattan Meats and stopped by. It’s a combo meat market (you pay for your meat purchases at the meat counter) and a small market, so very convenient. I picked up their housemade sausage and we were very impressed, fresh and very well made and seasoned. Their steaks and 1/2 pound burgers looked amazing, as well as their fish selection. They also had natural chicken, rotisserie chicken and seasoned kebabs. Love the old-fashioned customer service.”
“The meat here is well cut and fresh. The Wagyu tallow is fantastic and the service is the best. Highly recommend getting your korean BBQ meat here or steak. Solid butcher.”
“Always the freshest chicken links and sausage ???! The owners are always polite and great..my father's been going their for years and turned me on and now I get all my chicken links from there and only here!!!”
“Been coming here for about 25yrs now! And it never disappoints...Was referred by an ex coworker who grew up around the area. I've been told I am crazy to drive so far (32mls)...that I can get meat just as good nearby...Well I have tried other places & each time after being disappointed, I had to take that ride to Carson. Believe me, it's well worth it! Most times when I come during holiday weekends, I find others who come from far away cities as well...so I'm not the only one taking these drives. This past week I tried the shrimp only ceviche for the first time. Delicious!”
“Wow.. if your cooking Spanish tonight, this place has everything! I to get a couple slabs of Iberico but will be going back for the blood and rice sausage that I heard calling my name. It was my first time visiting today and it was super busy.
Liked packed busy. (appropriately)
Small place, family owned/run and I can't wait to return and take my time. Keep ya posted. Cheers”
“First time coming here with my husband! We’ve lived in the area for a year now & are still choosing out which spots have the best meat… this place wins!!!
We bought meat for a carne asada, salsas that were made there, some chicharron con carne, pan Dulce, & coricos because I only ever get to eat them when my mom comes back from Sinaloa… wow bomb!!! Just walking in, you can see & SMELL that it’s clean & just the vibe in there is welcoming.
You know how some meat places stink? I know raw meat has a smell but some places just STINK. This place doesn’t!!!
We finally found THEE meat spot! ??”

“Kudos to Kolikof. I have been a customer for quite some time like five years or so. I have never had any problems with the service or the products Jim sells. Everything I have ordered has been top notch. From the lamb chops to the veal chops steaks. They have all been above and beyond my expectations. The service and response has always been first class. They will even get you on the phone to accommodate you ask quick as they can. Keep selling quality products.

“Great place to find Indian & Fijian grocery items. Family who runs it are friendly and always willing to assist. Awesome meat selection available too. I have been coming here for years…prices might be a little higher than place like Modesto & Sacramento but it’s LA.”
“If you like fresh produce and meat you have to check out Luis's. I'm a professional chef and I use all their meats. Beef (oxtails) pork, chicken fish etc. it's always fresh and fair in price. Margarit is so sweet and kind. I call to check inventory and she always let me know what's in. All the men in the meat department are super nice and they cut the meat anyways ( only if it's safe) lol don't go asking for too thin pieces lol. Thank you”

“Good fresh meat, great customers service.. I would recommend them to everyone I know . Gotta check them out! And they cut the meat how u want it! Great butchers !!!”
“Delicious honey turkey breast juicy and full of flavor. The ham is also the same Delicious and full of flavor .their sandwiches are quite filling for the price and delicious”
“I have driven by this market for years But never stopped because it looked very unappealing due to the title MEAT. That word always stood out, and since I don’t eat meat, I never went in. Apparently, there are new owners, and while I don’t know how it was before, I decided to stop in because I needed cilantro, and now I noticed meat and vegetables. I don’t think I have ever been in a cleaner store. It was absolutely spotless. I’ve gone there twice now and it’s going to be go to place for produce. I was so impressed about everything, the prices are good. The produce quality is superior to the mainstream grocery stores. Yassir, the manager Is super friendly, above and beyond! The owner is lucky to have such a great employee to represent.
I didn’t try any of the homemade sorbet or ice cream, but I did take note. They had a professional juicer behind the counter so not only is it homemade, they use fresh juice to make it. I also purchased some fresh green salsa, which was out of this world. I’m so happy to have found this little market.”
“I love taking advantage of their rewards program to get a sandwich combo for $10.99.
They have a great selection of breads to choose from as well as sandwiches that are made to order.
I also took advantage of their turkey pot pie lunch special. What an excellent deal.”
“Let me say their service is amazing the ladies working there are super friendly and polite. The chickens are fresh and yes they ask you before you let them now if you want your chickens whole or cut. The store is clean and well kept.”
“Stopped by here today since I couldn’t find a pizza place to try out. Very good Asada burrito. A lot of meat inside. Burrito comes with chips and salsa. I’ve tried on a few occasions to stop by here but the very limited parking always made me go elsewhere. Order outside and they do have a meat market inside. Friendly staff. If you plan to stop by here park as soon as you see an available spot that’s what I did because of my previous experiences. Street parking only. Dead end street along the south side. I’ll be back again for another burrito and to try something different”
“I think this is a pretty cool place when you can grab some asada and buy a cold one at the same time plus the have bread. It's located on the corner of 54th street and Van Ness with handy parking. I've been going here for years since I was a child actually.”
“This has become my go-to place for affordable Mexican groceries because the prices are fine, the parking lot is big, and you can actually walk from the LaBrea expo line. It's not at beautiful as Northgate (which I LOVE) but it's much more affordable and they still have a good selection of Mexican ingredients and the butcher section is robust. The traffic can be brutal on La Brea so plan accordingly.”
“Excellent customer service
Great quality meat
Fruit and veggies as well!
Food so good .
Just so glad to have this market close you able to find all what you need
Super clean and neat ? ? ?”
“Customer service was exceptional! Monica the cashier is the best! She went above and beyond to make sure my experience was the best! As well as clean and organized store. 20 out of 10!?”
“Best produce & fruit at best price. Deli & smoked bbq counter excellent. Nice selection flowers not commonly found in grocery stores, especially orchids. International customers can find specialty foods, teas, yogurts here.”

“I had a great time shopping at El Camaguey. They have a lot of ingredients that are really hard to come by at other stores.
I would not necessarily trust the produce. A lot was past its prime, and the coolers were visibly dirty and rusty. And if the front-facing produce is that way, what does that mean for the meat? You decide.
But the shelf stable, packaged, and frozen foods- those were all a delight to browse. I was particularly delighted to find Gayraná Antarctica, which I've been wanting to try for years.
It's great to have found a new store for a specific regional cuisine. I will definitely be back.”
“I love their meat their prices are great and their freshly packed and what I love is that I can find the small turkey wings it's very hard to find small turkey wings..”
“Love this store the meat, chicharrones , and the hot deli basically all food is custom made or made to order fresh plus you can find any Mexican products you need to cook salsas-moles-tortillas-chocolate-refrescos-cerveza etc”
“I was casually driving to my grandpa’s house when I spotted a BBQ sign with smokers outside. Starving and craving something good, I decided to pull over—and I’m so glad I did. I was greeted with amazing service, and while the food was fantastic, what truly made the experience special was the people. There was a real family feel to the place. The beef ribs, brisket, and tri-tip were absolutely delicious. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor: stop by, meet this wonderful community, and don’t miss out!”
“It has gotten very expensive, and needs a better selection. It is a store that caters mostly to it's surroundings which is Hispanic.
Although, they do have a little better selection now, I will say that there meat dept. Is great and they have butchers.”
“✅ Friendly, service
✅ Weekly deals that save you money
✅ Fresh, high-quality products
✅ Clean, organized, and pleasant shopping experience”
“Got a torta pollo and it was so good and authentic, had a Mexican cheese as well. Better food than any food truck around.

“Place is really good, the owner is very informative and helpful. I recommend if your in the area or are planning an event. Just call in advance cuz he sells out rather quickly.”
“Amazing store, my husband and I went in today just to “take a look” and bought a variety of meats, sausages, and Brazilian cheese bread. Everything frozen and a very clean and inviting atmosphere.”
