“A small grocery store conveniently located a short walk from Crystal Palace Inn. I've come here a few times to buy some toiletries. Things are reasonably priced, though razors are behind the counter. Make sure to bring cash.”
“Amazing place. Not only hot food like sausage rolls (on weekends), and sandwiches, but an array of high-quality frozen meats. Amazing coffee & other treats. This is a hidden gym in LA.”
“This location is layout just like their La Puente store although I'm not sure if they are owned by the same person or is a franchise. Besides beef, seafood, chicken, and pork, the market offers everything you'll need for grilling outdoors, including charcoal, salsas, tortillas, and spices. They even off wagyu from Japan, Australia and tomahawk ribeye's. I've visited this location twice and have taken home USDA prime marinated carne asada and tried their chorizo sausages made specifically for grilling. The butchers and customer service gals here are friendly and accommodating. As for the quality of meats, I was impressed with the packaging, leanest, and the quality of all their proteins. They also offer yummy salsas that taste homemade. The prices are higher but in exchange you'll receive the top-quality cuts of meats and are superior to the grocery store chains. This along with the La Puente store is now my go-to stores for proteins when I'm going to grill. Definitely give them a try, you can thank me later.”
“I’ve been going to them for years for them family packs which last me damn near two months. I saved a lot of food stamps. I’m in Wilmington trying to make my way there now to get a family meet pack”

“Authentic small Mexican market where you can find everything at a good price. Vegetables, spices, fresh meat, cleaning products, etc. Really friendly and honest staff.”
“Excellent place to buy your meat if you're planning to have a party or a gathering. The meat is already marinated. I bought a little bit of everything to last me for the whole week. I found out about this place through family every time my daughter used to come over she would bring this amazing meat and we will have a barbecue I will ask her, Where this place is at. I visited a family member and I was around that area so I stopped and I'm so glad I did. Best meat.”
“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!!!”
“I love this place, good service, they are very attentive and professional, this is the place to to go and fet fresh meat and fresh carnitas made there on the weekend”
“I’ve been coming here for a couple of years now and every single time I walk in there every single employee is so nice. The first couple of times I thought they were just having a really good day (since sadly you don’t see that level of customer service elsewhere) … every single time I step a foot in there, I feel so welcomed. Almost like a family feeling like they’ve known you for years. I was born and raised in Mexico and it gives you that feeling of being back home going to: “La tiendita de la esquina” it’s almost nostalgic. You can tell is a family runner business and they CARE a lot for their customers. Couldn’t recommend more ????”
“So, today was a good day. I missed las manña itas de la virgen at el Mercadito in Boyle Heights but without knowing, they had a celebration for la Virgen Maria.
I had a good time. Yhey gave tacos but they also sell fried tacos and also sell great chicharones.
We came from foodforless to buy them here.”
“Meat is the best, but their prices have been nothing but gone up.
They usually if not always have great avocados, for the huacamole, also their abandera red salsa is great. Not super hot just hot and great favor.”
“Best meat in town.
Finally they have one close to us!
More locations before I had to drive to bellflower for my meat ?
Excellent customer service and very friendly staff
And the meat for your carne asada the best soft juicy and never dry , La Carniceria the best ?”
“We were greeted with kindness as soon as we walk through the doors. As first timers, they were happy to answer any questions we had!
This place the quality of their meats is top tier! They gave us extra sauce and meat.
This location the staff is kind and the meat quality is highly recommend.
GO HERE & NO PLACE ELSE!!!!”
“I highly recommend this place for its fresh meat, top-tier seasoning, and friendly environment. The staff always greets you with a smile and a positive attitude.”
“Outstanding meat quality. The Carne Asada without the pre marinated is great. No fat and I most definitely recommend this Butcher place. It is very expensive, I will pay it for the quality. The other places are very poor quality more quantity than quality.”
“Good hot food, burritos are my go to. Only difference is the burritos came with more ingredients like avocado, sour cream etc.. it also came with chips on the side.. now it's just a burrito with meat, cheese, rice, and beans, still good just not the same. Please bring back the side of chips and atleast the avocado in the burritos..”
“OMG!! SO FAR THE BEST CARNE AND CHICKEN WE HAVE TRIED SUNDAY WAS OUR FIRST TIME BUYING FROM HERE AND IT HAS BEEEN THE MOST TENDER JUICY MEAT. I WAS LAZY TO DRIVE 2O MIN BUT IT WAS WORTH IT. ILL DEFENTLY BE BACK.”

“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.”
“Love their hot food bar. If you need to grab something quick it’s perfect, overpriced for regular grocery shopping though. Also they have the wrong times on their signage outside with the hours of closing.”
“Good carnitas and chicharron and the breakfast steak and egg is really good comes with beans and rice and hand made tortillas. And great pricing as well check this place out!”
“Everything is soooo delicious!
All of the seasoned meats have an authentic Oaxacan taste! Finger licking good! ?
Saturday & Sunday evenings they set up a stand outside and offer a wide range of different foods, from Tacos and quesadillas, to the Oaxacan signature dish “Tlayudas,” with your choice of meat. Pick 1, or like me, try all 4!!!
And can’t forget about the Oaxacan Horchata (not pictured) … or your green juice… because Balance! ???♀️”
“Great people deserve great recognition and my respect having all this needed for carne asada is like the best option for a guy like me don't need to send my people to get meat from one place and other things from another. (HEB) Here everything is better including the price .
Unlike other meat markets that require a youtuber for promotion (Cortez)
El paraíso is doing it by only offering good quality service and a smile I thank God for that keep up the good work and positive attitude the rest comes along”
“I love this place, I love this family!
The short ribs are amazing and grill up in a few minutes.
The Al Pastor is so tasty…I like to slow cook about 3 lbs in a cast iron pan for about 2 hours to caramelize to perfection and serve with all the yummy taco fixings, including the homemade salsa I buy here. I live in the South Bay and the drive is totally worth it every time!!!!!!!”
“Wonderful meat market !! ?
We've been going there since a little after they first opened, quality has not changed. Good prices for EXCELLENT quality meat, very well worth it. The people are friendly, and attentive.
It reminds me of an old school neighborhood butcher shop from when I was a kid ???”
“Stater Bros in Norwalk is always clean, organized, and well-stocked. The staff is friendly and helpful, and checkout is usually quick and smooth. I appreciate the fresh produce and good meat selection — great quality at reasonable prices. Definitely my go-to grocery store!”
“A neighborhood gem!
I enjoy shopping at the Stater Bros. on Whittier Blvd in West Whittier. Ever since they moved into the new location, the experience has been fantastic. The store is consistently spotless, bright, and incredibly well-organized, making it easy to find everything I need.
The real highlight, however, is their legendary meat department. The certified meat cutters are true professionals—always willing to offer a custom cut or seasoning advice—and the quality of their ribeyes and marinated meats is simply unmatched by other local chains. The produce section is equally impressive, always stocked with fresh, crisp fruits and vegetables.
Beyond the products, it’s the people that make this store special. The staff is genuinely friendly and helpful, giving the place a warm, community feel that you just don’t get at big-box stores. Whether I'm grabbing a quick dinner of their delicious Cleo & Leo fried chicken or doing a full week's grocery run, this Stater Bros. never disappoints. Highly recommended!”
“Food is good sushi is fresh they got giant sandwiches I like cuz I work at Amazon and I need something to eat for the whole day prices are good EBT cash etc everybody was friendly”
“I just stopped by on Google maps. Those reviews here who say Wilch Brothers Market had been here "forever", are true. I would ride my bike across the river from the Island to come here and read comic books while standing by the rack. That was in the early 1960's.”

“I love how clean and organized everything is here. The produce is always fresh, good quality meats and there meat area is always super clean. Staff are real friendly and plenty parking. The only reason im giving 4stars is because they dont sell beer here. If your doing a BBQ you want everything in one store save you some extra trips.”
“I really enjoy purchasing their carne asada meat, in my opinion they have the best seasoned meat in town for a Carne asada. Don't get me started on their burritos. Their burritos are very good. My husband kept ordering back to back, day after day.”
