“We have been getting carne asada and picanha from here for a while now and it’s always insanely delicious! Really juicy and great flavor! We’re thinking of trying other stuff but the Picanha is so amazing my husband and uncle say why try anything else.”
“Awesome experience at Saikou Niku. The owner (?) was very nice and knowledgeable and recommended the right cut of meats without trying to upsell you. The price is very reasonable for the quality. We bought a bit of everything for our at-home Korean bbq. Better meat than any restaurant and cheaper too.”
“Best prices for grass fed beef. The staff is really knowledgeable and friendly. Especially Marty. Marty is extremely kind and gives excellent service. He really does his best to help people however he can. Thanks for the great recommendations Marty.”
“EXCELLENT place to buy fresh chicken, the place is very clean and the service is the best, the girls are very friendly and attentive! Yesterday I bought chicken and palisades and they were really DELICIOUS, the perfect size and what I really liked is that they were not so thick and that is perfect since when I put them in the oil it was very fast and they sew super well, and the best thing is that my family loved them!!!:)
I 100% recommend EL POLLOTOTE”

“Found this place on yelp and wanted to give it a try and am I glad I did. Gustavo greeted me very friendly around 10am and was eager to help me with whatever i needed. The carne asada was some of the best meat i've ever had. Tender and full of flavor this meat melted in your mouth. The salsa roja and rosa chips were beyond delicious as well. Gustavo, I can only imagine your hospitality to regulars who come through but thank you for your hospitality to your new customers as well! Will definitely be coming back for more!”
“Great place to go for about anything from a small market. You don't see many markets around the water especially on the boardwalk. So it a very good place to go if you don't want to grab your keys and drive out to find a market . Just stay in your comfort zone and walk on in . Very convenient place to shop . Nicolas likes meeting all kinds of his furry friends to sniff , and bark at.”
“The butchery is quite a drive from Orange but whenever I am nearby I can't help but stop and stock up..the House Marinade Chicken is the best. I love the filet burgers too! And the Saratoga Ribeye and Grass fed filet tenderloin are our favorites. The cheeses are amazing I go for all the sheep and goat varieties because my stomach is sensitive to cow dairy. It's such a treat to come to this market”
“Not only do they great food.they have a kind heart..I order food to get picked up but I ended up going to the ER..I told them I'd pay but they to l d me not to worry just to get better..”
“Hubby & I are KBBQ lovers ! We love it & sometimes we mix it up & cook at home - thinking we are saving money when in reality it costs about the same or if not more, since my husband eats a lot. H Mart was completely cleaned out of beef brisket for NYE. What to do ?? That's right, I remembered Prime Meat Market, a hole in the wall meat shop specializing in Korean meats! If you know, you know! Lucky me, they were open when I arrived. I was hoping to pick up fresh, not frozen meat. I wanted to get a variety, tongue, belly & brisket. I get in & asked the lady but she told me there was only frozen brisket available. Priced at $60, it was plenty of meat for 2 of us. I was a bit disappointed though - for that type of money I would expect better marbling in the meat. I bought the pack anyway & complimentary, you get stinky radish + your choice of white or green onion + sauce. Great ! The meat was alright - definitely not as tasty as the meat I get at H Mart. I would love to try this place again, but hopefully when I go there will be more options available & not just frozen brisket :(.”
“Great place to buy bread and biscuits. Try the jalapeno and cheese biscuits also the wheat and the white bread is delicious. And don't forget to get some beef jerky to go.”

“I used to not like chorizo because I had a bad first experience trying it. However, my girlfriend was so excited to make chorizo for me saying Aurora’s had the best chorizo. I tried it for her sake and was so surprised at how good it was. She always hypes this place up, and I can see why. I even went with her to buy the chorizo, and the girl working the counter was so friendly and nice. 5 out of 5 for sure!”
“The beat meat around. I travel from San Juan Capistrano for this Resturant quality meat. Never disappoints and always super fresh. A pleasure to serve to guests and family alike”
“Whenever I'm in Santa Ana, I make it a habit to stop by the Santa Ana Meat Market and purchase a couple of pounds of carne asada. I've been coming here since the 90s, and out of all the carnicerias, Santa Ana Meat Market is among the best.”

“Receiver great in and out within 10 minutes but not safe overnight parking because i came 7pm and parked next to receiver’s main gate around 2 AM i felt movement in my trailer.immediately i wakeup and come out from my truck for look out what’s going on back there and i surprised when i seen 2 guys cut lock from trailer doors and was stealing stuff from trailer and loading their little trolley which is attached with Bicycle after when i seen them they run away with 5 case of duck meat”
“The best Mexican market in the area and possibly the happiest place in the neighborhood besides the parks and beaches. Excellent selection, friendly, helpful & adorable staff and definitely the best place to grab chilies, avocados, tomatillos, key limes, tropical fruits & tortillas (the BEST!). Also super handy for basic household stuff like tp ????. As an aside they play the most festive music and the vibe is ????????”
“I went a few times during the weekend to buy pan dulce which was decent, and this morning (Tuesday) I went before 8am and was shocked at how crowded it was. I initially was going for their tamales which I've tried before and they were dry and "just ok," enough to satisfy my craving but after seeing everyone in line for the hot food I stood in line as well. They sell tortas with frijoles (beans) with your choice of meat (carne asada, chorizo, chicharrón rojo and verde) i ordered the chicharrón rojo and OMG!! Delicious! I had the guy add salsa and jalapeños which was a mistake because the chicharrón rojo already has a nice kick to it so after my first bite I took out the jalapeños. The few times I went I didn't notice the hot food so not sure if it only sells during certain times. It gets packed in the mornings with people heading to work and the line can get long, I waited about 10 minutes not bad. With my torta and can soda it was $5.77! *Update* tortas sell in the morning until 8amThe reason for my 4 stars instead of 5 is because I saw the produce section and it was a bit gross, the carrots and lettuce looked old. I will be going back only because the convenient location and for their tortas!”
“Good place I find many things that I need and apart from everything I like their prices a small market but it maintains good prices but mainly the kindness of its employees is very good I recommend this place I hope you always visit it just as I visit this store often ❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
