Butchers near Yorba Linda, CA

“Stater Bros in Yorba Linda is one of those grocery stores that quietly does a lot of things right. It may not have the hype of some of the bigger chains, but every time I go, I leave thinking this is exactly how grocery shopping should feel—simple, clean, and reliable.

The first thing you notice is how well kept the store is. It’s consistently clean, organized, and easy to navigate. The aisles are laid out in a way that just makes sense, and you don’t feel like you’re wasting time trying to find things. Everything feels familiar and efficient, which I really appreciate, especially when you’re just trying to get in and out.

The produce section is solid—fresh, well displayed, and regularly stocked. Same goes for the meat department, which is honestly one of their strong points. You can tell they take pride in it. The quality is good, and there’s always a decent variety whether you’re picking up something quick or planning a proper meal.

What I like most about this location is the overall vibe. It’s calm. You’re not dealing with the chaos you sometimes get at bigger grocery chains. Even when it’s busy, it never feels overwhelming. It’s just a comfortable place to shop.

Staff here are another highlight. Friendly, approachable, and actually helpful when you need something. You don’t feel like you’re interrupting anyone by asking a question, which is rare these days. Checkout is also smooth and efficient—lines move quickly, and they seem to have things under control.

Pricing is fair, especially if you catch their weekly deals. It’s not always the cheapest across every item, but the quality and consistency make up for it. You kind of know what you’re getting every time, and that reliability goes a long way.

Parking is generally easy as well, which is always a plus. No unnecessary stress before you even walk into the store.

Overall, this Stater Bros location is dependable, clean, and well run. It’s not flashy, but it delivers where it matters—quality products, good service, and a stress-free shopping experience. Definitely a go-to spot if you live in the area.”

“10/10
They did the cut/wrap on our whole beef and it is amazing. So organized, neat packaging, clear labeling, beautiful cuts, just like i ordered. They helped me load all 790 pounds up in the truck too. The place was clean and everything looked fresh & tasty. Great experience all around.
Next time I go out, I'm going to get a deli sandwich while I'm there!”

“If you get the chance, you must visit this carnicería!! It is an amazing spot with high quality and authentic meats. A must for your carne asadas, and every bite will be juicy and rich with flavor!! The owners are super nice and helpful:) Everyone there will make you feel welcomed!”

“Old school meat market. Everything you would need every cut meticulously done packaged food fresh cut wonderful when looking for a meat market you can't possibly want anything better.”

“I had stopped by for some meat for my hotpot dinner. The meat quality is fantastic. 5/5 would buy again. The proprietor’s mother was so nice and kind to me and the pickled veggies were divine!”

“I have been coming to this Stater Bros. for a little over a year now specifically to get meat to cook for my dogs. Every single time I have gone to the butchery it has been amazing service. Incredibly kind staff, quick, and very helpful to me. A standout for me was employee Mark at the meat department, as well as another gentleman who I did not get their name but will next time I go. Mark told me that the other gentleman had told him one of my dogs had passed away and offered his sincere condolences. Mark also provided me with great service and I am so thankful for his kindness during a hard time. Thank you again to the people working in the meat department!”

“Thank you stater bros for the amazing cake for my son’s 1st birthday! It was beautifully and perfectly done! My only critique was the filling, I asked for berry compote and it tasted like jelly out of a jar not horrible! Just would’ve tasted better with it handmade. But the frosting, the cake, the decorations was perfect!”

“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.”

“The meat was great and he price are perfect, I get my meet there no where else and my tortillas. La Rancherita has great C/S, Meat and Food and they also have wholesale price for taqueros or any occasion. Definitely will come back for more meat.”

“This place is also called “Premium Meat & Food Market” on Google maps. But when you get here, I don’t think there’s a sign that indicates that.

I purchased a half tray of galbi (about 6 lbs), beautifully gift wrapped and put on ice (meat was not frozen) for about $113. They also have some banchan, Kimchee, and other cuts of meats. I will be back again!”

“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!”

“We purchased Settler’s Jerky yesterday. It is sooo delicious. I love soft jerky and my son loves it more dry. This was the perfect mix of both. The flavors we tried are hickory, teriyaki and sweet and spicy. OMG. Highly recommended. Represented by Trevor who is a good guy. Friendly, easy to work with and is very passionate about the products. (Notice the bag is empty. lol)
Highly recommended.”

“(Translated by Google) They have a delicious Menudo on the weekends. Good prices and excellent service. Thanks. ??(Original)Tienen un delicioso Menudo los fines de semana. Buenos precios y excelente servicio. Gracias. ??”

“We have been buying meat and different products here and the truth is that they have very good quality meats that are always fresh and cut to taste, everyone who works here is good people and they serve very well, my respects...?”

“Went to get some late night snacks and was about to close but the gentlemen there helped and when I walked in the store it was very clean and organized no rushing me what's so ever and just overall very professional and got all the things i needed.”

“The workers here are very friendly and helpful. This store has a great selection of products. This week when I was here it was very busy. This store is always adding new products to accommodate changing demand for products and changing lifestyles. ?”

“LOVE the quality of meats and produce.
Nice selection of breads, coffee and tortillas.

“I usually just run in to a Stater Bros and grab what my friends say is my mandatory Road Chicken. This time I did real shopping for my new diet, lots of vegetables. I had awesome choices. Since some of this was a new type of shopping experience for me it was very nice that the staff was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful helpful. I will still get the fried croad trips. Cookies for my many roadtrips.”

“I am a Stater Bros customer for at least 30 yrs or more I love this SB on State College I have always been treated very well and have never had a problem with any of the employees . If I ever needed help with anything I was kindly helped. The only thing I noticed is that the young baggers need to be trained on what items to bag together keep cold items together not with canned items and don't put too many heavy items in one bag it s too heavy for an older person to carry if someone comes in with cooling bags don't put cans or non cold items in it. They just need to be trained that's all. I love all the cashiers and deli,bakery,produce employees too,some I know by name,thank you Tina,Alicia,Anthony, Dave,just to name a few and I have to say that the current store manager is great!!
God bless you all,and thank you for always treating me kindly.
Glo :)”

“I have to give this place a five customer service is great people who work there are nice my first time being there, im making the meat right now for my family and they're just very happy and jazzed I will definitely come back to this place. I found my new place to go to now thank El Faro.”

“(Translated by Google) Very good butcher shop, the staff is excellent ? ?, it has very good products, the bread they sell is very tasty(Original)Muy buena carnicería, el personal es excelente ? ? , tiene muy buenos productos , el pan que venden es muy rico”

“Outstanding products we are proud to offer. We've worked with WCP for over 6 years now and they've grown exponentially-with all that growth they've been supportive and our small business thrives because of their customer service, our outstanding rep and truly excellent prodcuts.”

“Stater bros 4 life this place is legit clean friendly and has helpful services the workers are nice and very helpful thanks Stater bro manager I would love to work here one day”

“I have been on the search for a good menudo spot in La Habra and I have to say I found a spot this place was not only clean but the service was fast and the people where friendly and if you need some groceries you can also do a little shopping also since they are a market. The menudo had so much flavor and they where not stingy with the meat and they actually have a option for harmony. I love a menudo that has harmony I feel like it brings out the flavor and good balance. The menudo was a little oily but when mixed in it was not to bad .The portion size is a really good size. It comes with the basics as in cilantro onion a side of corn tortillas. I definitely recommend this place not only does this place only have have Menudo but it has other plate options that also look delicious I will be going back soon to try there other plates they have a available.”

“When there is a long line they do open another register but dont take the next person in line. They take the person in the back which is not fair to the next person in line”

“El Toro Carneceria has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. I started coming here as a young child with my parents, and now, as an adult, it’s my go-to spot for high-quality meats and delicious ready-to-eat prepared foods. This place holds a special place in my heart, and it’s easy to see why it’s so beloved in the community.

The selection of meats here is outstanding. Whether you’re looking for perfectly marbled cuts of beef, tender chicken, or specialty items like chorizo and carnitas, El Toro Carneceria has it all. The quality is consistently top-notch, and the prices are reasonable for the value you get. It’s no wonder the place can get crowded at times—good things are worth waiting for!

In addition to the incredible meat selection, I love browsing their market section. They have a fantastic variety of groceries and authentic Mexican products, from spices and sauces to fresh produce and pantry staples. It’s a one-stop shop for anyone looking to recreate traditional Mexican flavors at home.

The ready-to-eat prepared foods are another highlight. Whether it’s their flavorful tamales, savory tacos, or fresh salsas, everything is made with care and tastes amazing. It’s perfect for those days when you want a quick, delicious meal without the hassle of cooking.

Despite the occasional crowds, the service is always efficient, and the staff is friendly and helpful. El Toro Carneceria has managed to maintain its charm and quality over the years, and I’m so grateful to have this gem in my neighborhood. If you haven’t visited yet, do yourself a favor and stop by—you won’t be disappointed!”

“Our favorite grocery store and the reason we are surviving inflation lol. Shoppers just need to be aware that this is probably a grocery consolidation store. They seem to take goods from other stores (e.g. Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s store brand) that can’t be sold in time, so you see fresh foods that are close to expiration dates or produce that are rejected for being too ripe for being too big or too small.

Once you’re aware of this, a savvy shopper can easily find high quality, good value grocery items here for pennies on the dollar. Our weekly grocery bill is like $20 and we meal prep every meal during the week with grocery purchased at Garden Fresh. The trick, as other reviewers have pointed out, is produce purchased must be used within a day or two. Most things won’t keep beyond that. We shop on mondays and meal prep everything for the week same day. Through some trial and error we now rarely have any spoilage.

Overall, amazing value but you do have to be a savvy discerning shopper ;)”

“Noorani Grocery Zabiha Halal Meat in Garden Grove became my go-to place for all my Indian grocery needs after I discovered it. The prices are reasonable in comparison to other grocery stores in the area, and the product quality is excellent. The store carries a large selection of spices, herbs, lentils, and other staple ingredients used in the preparation of traditional Indian dishes. For those who follow a halal diet, the Zabiha Halal meat section is an added bonus. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommended it to all.”
