“They have so many different types of meats from so many types of animals. It's pretty incredible. From baby octopus to squab, to quail, venison, Bison, chicken, Shrimp, lamb, goat, lobster tail, ox tail and many types of poultry that I've never heard of. Really nicely dressed in butcher's white coat, and I didn't feel rushed. They take courteous time to make sure they've helped you to your satisfaction. I know where to go to get great service and to find unique pieces of meats.”
“Very easy process of ordering and picking up if you're close by ...from the time I placed my order to pickup was a couple of days.Got a pork belly with skin on and a pork butt..haven't cooked the pork butt yet but made lechon with the belly...was excellent.The layer of skin was perfect and free of hairs which was a nice change. Would be great if they had a storefront one of these days...will definitely be ordering again..wagyu ribeye next. Definitely recommend”
“This is the only meat shop I would purchase my meats and hotpot essential. it is very small but don't let that fool you, they have all your needs from thinly sliced meat to bulk size. You just let the butcher know what you want. Their vegetables are always green and leafy, it never disappoints. The best thing, many varieties. There may be a language barrier but if they noticed you have been looking at an item for a while, they just hand you the best looking one. This weekend, I 2 packs of beef brisket and the marble on the beef was gorgeous, along with veggies, tofu and fish cakes. Everything was fresh! Let me just say, it was a delicious feast! It is hotpot season, best to come here for all your hotpot needs!”
“Best butcher shop in Oakland. Whatever you looking for, they got it and the guy will even cut it up for you. If I could give 10 stars I'd double it. They clean their chitlin's, I bought a bucket and checked them when I got home, them sumbitches was clean!”
“I don't look for goat very often but am making Barbacoa for a special occasion. First, I called around and all of the other shops were unable to source any goat right now, at least those that even bothered to pick up the phone. I called Oakland Halal and they picked up the phone and confirmed they had goat immediately. The shop is small but the butcher behind the counter is awesome. I told him I wanted either a leg or a shoulder. He told me how the different cuts would very and when I told him what I was making we agreed on the leg. He cut it to my exact weight request and informed me that not only was the meat fresh it was local (I think that matters). I was out of there in minutes and with a giant mango on the house! How could you ask for more.”
“Excellent meat and poultry products from sustainable farms where animals are pasture-raised and treated humanely. In an ideal world. I’d be a vegan; in the real world, I am not and am grateful to Marin Farms for providing best-care animal practices.”
“Great variety of fresh vegetables and fruit at great prices. The meat market is clean and always has quality meat,poultry and fish. They also have pan dulce, jelatina and an area for crema, cheese, salsas and chicharron!!!!!”
“Sometimes visiting the International food section at your local grocery store can be so unsatisfying. I always leave knowing there is so much more they aren't showing me.This week I decided I wanted to make tamales for a post Christmas celebration. But I wanted to make everything from scratch. And I knew that Safeway wouldn't provide me with the basics I needed.If you are searching for a clean, friendly well stocked market with everything you need to make beautiful moles, chili verde tacos or the most authentic tamales visit Supermercado Mi Tierra. They have six locations sprinkled throughout the East Bay.”
“Finally went there for the first time today and bought some lamb shoulder chops. They were some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had. Very fresh and the people were nice. They have a lot of meat and I was happy to give it a try. Very satisfied and we’ll go back.”
