“El Torito Carnicería is hands-down one of the best butcher shops in the area. Whether you're shopping for a weekend BBQ, looking for specialty cuts, or just craving authentic, fresh marinated meats, this place delivers every time.
The store is clean, well-organized, and staffed by friendly, knowledgeable butchers who clearly take pride in their work. I appreciated how willing they were to answer questions and recommend the right cuts for different cooking methods. They even gave me a few grilling tips for the arrachera (skirt steak) I bought—amazing service.
Their selection is impressive. From traditional carne asada and al pastor to house-made chorizo and marinated chicken, everything looked fresh and high quality. I picked up a few pounds of their seasoned beef and pork for a family cookout, and everyone raved about the flavor. The meats were tender, perfectly seasoned, and didn’t require any extra prep on my end.
They also carry a solid variety of grocery items—fresh tortillas, salsas, spices, and Mexican staples—so it’s easy to grab everything you need in one trip. Prices are very reasonable for the quality you get, and they often have combo specials or family packs that offer great value.
If you're looking for a reliable, authentic carnicería with top-tier customer service and incredible flavor, El Torito Carnicería is a local gem you won't want to miss.”

“Tanner was absolutely amazing and accommodating with my odd request for Pig Trachea's , we were in need for a class to teach our wild land fire fighters! EMS Unlimited is grateful for getting a last minute order together and including other items for our crew! The extra knowledge we are able to give to our crew can help save a life!
Thanks Tanner!”
“Just ridiculously delicious . Yesterday I had a burger,;ground chuck. Today I had a thick pork chop that tasted sooo good. For several years now I haven't even bought the grocery store pork that seemed tasteless/without flavor. Price is the same or even a little less than grocery.
And the people who own or work here are kind and friendly. Just a great upgrade from today's supermarkets. ?”
