Best meat ever! I'm so glad El Cortez showed up on my yelp page... who knew? Technology. This is the best place to get your carne asada/ranchero taco meat.

I felt this sudden urge for chicharrones and guac and so I took the Yelp rabbit hole and found this place. Little meat market in the middle of Norwalk that has big charm, friendly service, and an excellent reputation for their meats. Their chicharrones were crunchy and fresh. My intrigue though, came from the taco shop they own that is right next to them. I am definitely going to have to come back and try this spot.

Food is really good but the prices are very expensive! Just remember you get what you pay for! I'm a foodie so I will pay extra to really enjoy what I eat! Love it! This is a special occasion place when I'm willing to splurge!

I moved to this area and was having a hard time finding my way around. A tiktok came up saying to try out "El Cortez," and I went that day. The marinade on the chicken is so bomb and also the Carne, too!! I go at least once a month now. So yummy. Also, they have a produce section too.

I'm going to start off by stating that the only reason I drove all the way to Downey to try this Carniceria was because of the Gram. That's where the problem lies.. all of these eateries or carnicerias that live on the gram are just overhyped and overpriced establishments. $15.99 lb for what amounts to ranchera is crazy. I bought 3lbs and the meat tasted like basic flap. Nothing crazy just basic. If I went over to Vallarta o can sometimes buy the meat for $7.99 and tastes exactly the same. Again, the gram has served as a breeding ground for businesses to price gouge because of the social exposures on the Gram. Nothing bad to say but I will pass on places like these and stick with cheaper alternatives.

June 2023 Hidden Gem offers a quality selection of meats and fresh produce. At the entrance of the market, they offer a selection of tortillas, marinates, and sauce ingredients. The meat counter is labeled with meats ranging from chicken, beef, and pork. In the small fridge, they sell pickled Jalapeños, Different salsas, Guacamole, Rice, and Beans.

Friendly staff. Very organized and clean. The meat cooked up delicious and was probably made some of the best carne asada I've had in a long time. That all said, when did marinated flank steak get to be so expensive!?!
