Carniceria El Paya is a popular butcher shop known for its amazing carnitas and barbacoa, especially on Saturdays. Customers enjoy the good quality meat and chicken available at reasonable prices. The shop features both raw and cooked meat sections, with fresh-made tortillas and great salsa adding to the offerings. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a comfortable place to shop. However, reviews highlight a significant issue with customer service, particularly from the cashiers. Many customers feel the cashiers are unwelcoming, often ignoring them and lacking basic greetings. While the butchers receive praise for being friendly and helpful, improvements in the cashiers' attitude are needed. Despite the service complaints, the quality of the meat keeps customers returning, eager to try more cuts and flavors from this bustling local spot.
This place is amazing!!! Best carnitas and chicharrons , they were nicely thin cut just the best in the area , the only reason I didn’t give them 5 plus star is because they don’t take discover credit card and the ladies at the front were not nice nor were they friendly…

Was in Walmart and someone recommended this place to me …..so glad they did! I got 3 thick ribeyes for only $26, which was an amazing deal. The customer service was also top tier. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Definitely can’t wait to come back!
