“The first thing I noticed when I walked in is how this place smelled exactly the same as the butcher shop my grandfather would take me to as a kid in the country outside of Buenos Aires. That smell that only comes from a butcher shop that’s making the sausages fresh, cutting the beef fresh, etc. That’s how I knew this place was legit without even trying anything. I’ve since tried a few of the sausages they have and they’re amazing. Again, the taste reminds me of the taste of the sausages my grandpa would buy from this old butcher in the country. It’s a taste you only get from butchers with a true sense of craftsmanship. Reminds me of a simpler time. I highly recommend the sausages, the meatloaf, and stuffed chicken. The charm doesn’t stop there, though, Ron and his son Michael also give stellar customer service. Always a pleasure stopping by and supporting this local business.”

“I love this grocery store. It's got everything, including a wonderful fresh fruit/vegetable section. It's the only place in the city that I've been able to find thai basil. Now that I've found this place, I'm never going back to the awful Safeway across the street.”

“These guys are my secret weapon- their steaks, when properly reverse seared, rival that of any $300+ steakhouse and never fail to impress guests. I absolutely nailed our Valentine’s Day this year with a bottle of Nebbiolo and two perfect filet mignons from Guerra Meats. While a much smaller selection, their produce is on point too, unlike the nearby Safeway…”

“This Market is within the Cal Mart Market. When yougo ask for Andy or any of the guys can help. They can order any special meat, fish or poultry you will need. They are busy so please be patient. Everything is in I've and arranged so you see their proteins through the glass. Makes for great ambiance. Ha ok I said the last sentence to get the for ambiance. But in all seriousness- Great service and quality meats, chickens and fish.”

“Small, well stocked, friendly. Crazy well stocked given the size, less expensive than whole paycheck and much higher quality everything than a corner store. The produce is always excellent. If you can't find a thing just ask, there are weird little shelves and niches everywhere.”

“Snowflake beef? We definitely needed that in our hot pot mix for Christmas! And while we're at it, gotta try the pork belly and lamb too!All of it was high quality, *melt-in-your-mouth* meat. After waiting in line for an hour, my cousin snagged 5 lbs of fatty cow, 3 lbs of lamb and 2 lbs of pork belly and the 14 of us could barely finish half. She said it's a one man show: meat cut to order and the dude's handling the cashier portion too. Totally worth it....except this is coming from someone who didn't wait in line. Thanks, cuzzo!”

“They have nearly everything you need in this small store and the checkout line rarely has more than one person in front of you. I laugh at the people traipsing up to Trader Joe's to wait in long lines for produce that is vastly inferior to that in this store.I've seen some comments on the meat section and there is some validity. Check the pack dates, which are accurate, and if it is within the last 2 days your selection will be A+. I go here all the time for fish and chicken.”

“Grabbing grocery- and Costco-quality meat is very convenient and cost-effective, but if you have a little bit of time and a little bit extra to spend, the meat quality you find at Marina Meats will change your cooking. I've been coming here for a couple years now, and I always find myself excited to grab a ribeye or some sausages for dinner. And when you're working with quality, you're more likely to care a little bit more when you're cooking. Never have I looked at a clock while searing a poorly-marbled ribeye from Trader Joe's. But a bone-in dry-aged steak from Marina Meats? I'll count every second it's on the pan.This is also a great place to go if you need specialty animal products- they have an assortment of different bone broths and rendered fats as well. I love coming to Marina Meats, and I'll be back any time I'm craving a steak.”

“I've been buying from they for years. Best preserved Chinese sausages, duck legs, pork belly. Price is a bit higher than others but it's worth it. Can't get this quality on prepackaged brands.”

“Don't miss this place, this is a 150 year old shop making Cantonese style preserved meats. I got some dried pork belly and lap cheong. And some dried chicken leg and some kind of flattened pork. The owner lady cut it it up for me too.”

“I just moved to the neighbourhood somewhat recently and discovered Avedano’s. I’m an extremely avid cook and having easy access to a butcher and meat this quality is game-changing.The staff is fantastic, always incredibly friendly and helpful. I’ve placed special orders three times now and it’s been such a positive experience. I’m looking forward to coming back weekly for all my protein needs.Also, get the Smokey Moe. The sandwich changed my life.”

“The staff are very helpful and the prices are good. Never had a bad experience here, and I stop by pretty often to buy meat for making my dog's food. Their prices make it more affordable than feeding kibble!”

“I stopped in looking for Epazote and sure enough they had plenty. This is a great Mexican market and butcher. Plenty of fresh fruit and all you favorite essentials needed to make a Mexican/Salvadorean/ Costa Rican inspired meal. You will find all the spices you need.”

“We ordered: - 8 Whole Boxes of Povi Masima We've been coming to Robert's Corned Meats to get our Povi for years, literally since I was a child. It is also the oldest corned beef company established in San Francisco as well. We only like to get our Povi from Roberts Corned Meats because the quality of it beats anywhere else. I've tried other Povi Masimas and can taste the difference. NOBODY and I mean NOBODY is touching Robert's Corned Meats. The gentleman Edgar I believe was his name had helped us as we did an over the phone order for 8 whole boxes and asked them to seal each one as we were sending the boxes to family overseas. The transaction was very fast as always! Sign a paper, provide the money and wait for your boxes to come out. Boom, done! Each time we get an order, the worker always provides the service to load our car with the Povi which is such a huge plus! We really appreciate the generosity and great service each visit! This is why this place gets such a high rating, the service is top tier and the meats are top notch! The parking is super rough as it's on one of the busiest streets in the city near the freeways but trust me it's worth the struggle. There is an alleyway around the corner of the building you can park in but it is a hit or miss. It is also cash preferred/only as well! The inside of the place is always clear and neutral setting. I love that it has so many old school pictures to view! It's also very clean as well! They offer so many other meats as well, sausages, bacon, linguica, pastrami, brisket, beef tongue, pork legs and cooked meats. I might be missing a few but I'm telling you, this is the place to get your meats. It's truly worth it! There is a reason Roberts Corned Meats are still in business for so many years, they are the real deal. Thank you Roberts Corned Meats for your amazing service and items served, you've placed a mark on a lot of us Polynesians - specifically my Samoan people. The functions won't ever be the same without your Povi Masima! I hope you all look into this place and love it just as my family and folks do. You won't regret it.”

“We cannot say enough about how much we absolutely LOVE SFRAW! Kasie, owner/operator gives consultations for folks wanting to start raw feeding. We raw feed our cats as well as our two Autism Service dogs. SFRAW only purchases meat, bone & offal from small sustainable farms that actually visits herself! It's important for her to know that these animals live a good life. SFRAW taught us that we can heal through food. SFRAW has fully trained staff that answer any & all questions! One can clearly see the how much her staff truly love & believe in raw feeding. Our precious furry family members are only fed the absolute best! We fully believe in along with a raw fed diet and the homeopathic remedies Kasie makes herself. Kasie's protocols made the difference in our boxer's healing from cancer removal surgery. The Vets even learned about homeopathic medicine and now implements on the many animals they service!”

“Authentic Mexican joint, and much more affordable compared to other popular spots in San Francisco. The beef cheeks and flank steak were absolutely delicious!Keep in mind it is a butchery, so you go through a store to order your food. The place is clean and well-maintained, and the staff is very friendly.”

“The owner/management is rude as hell, and absolutely unpleasant to be subjected to, but if you can avoid him, the store is pretty fantastic for snacks, tobacco, drinks, household odds and ends, etc. Huge selection, mostly reasonable prices (although they change prices on a whim, and for no apparent reason other than because they dislike the customer in question) and unexpected items that bring a smile to your face. It really sucks that the customer service is so lacking, because everything else is on point.”

“Living only 5 minutes away from the Fatted Calf in Napa I consider myself pretty lucky so when I was visiting my old pal Marlow Hinkletter and his little stab BeccaLin in the city, and the visit turned into dinner I went straight to the Fatted Calf down on the embarcadero. What a selection of everything I consider wonderful! Tonight's dinner is going to be duck, cooked to the rare side of medium rare.It was spectacular! ☆☆☆☆☆”

“I used to go to the meat market at sunset district. After I tried hot pot beef and pork from Chang Hong, I won't go to other meat market! Reasonable price and varieties of selection!”

“I love this market. I shopped there on a regular basis for 6 years, as all of the meat that they sell is fantastic. I will stop by there soon. I cooked for a living for several years. Great meat + herbs & spices that are hard to find. True butchers in the back as well. Also, great customer service! They are happy to give you the cut of what you want. Even more cool, they'll tell you how to cook the cut. Yes,5 stars! I'd give six stars if I could. I wish they could branch out a new market to the Inner Sunset ????.”

It doesn’t end there- they have a wide variety of authentic delicacies from all over (Russia, Ukraine and other East European countries). They’re baklava collection is spectacular and so is their kefir! Check them out now!”
