Ziggy's Meats is a well-known butcher shop famous for its high-quality meats. It is especially celebrated for having the best chorizo and ranchera carne asada in the entire San Fernando Valley, with customers traveling from other cities to get it. The shop offers a large variety of meats, including expertly marinated chicken and carne, and also carries other items like tomatoes and green chilies. While the prices are high and not cheap, you are paying for top quality and fresh meat.
The customer service is generally excellent, with very nice staff who provide good service and accommodate special cut requests. However, the cashiers can sometimes be not very nice and kind of rude. The shop is family-owned and recommended for supporting a local business. Be prepared for a long line, which is common and considered worth it; the best advice to avoid it is to come early when they open. Street parking is available and easier to find in the morning.
I've been buying chorizo here for the past 5 yrs for my business. Customer's really like it. Can't say anything about the meats cuz I haven't try them. But the chicharron with meat is very good.

I have been going to Ziggys for over 25 years! I moved to Texas and anytime I go visit I bring chorizo and cheese back to Texas. I also have my family buy me some and bring some when they come visit. The chorizo is the best.
