“I went in for the 1st time wanting to try their barbacoa. I bought 1/2 pound for my wife and me to try. It was delicious. Very moist without it being greasy and very good flavor. We will definitely be back for more. I also got 5 pounds of their fajitas they had on special. They lady assured me that would like them. I cooked them yesterday and they came out extremely tender, flavorful and everyone was very impressed with them. These were the most tender fajitas I've ever cooked. I will definitely be back for more of these as well. Overall, everyone was really friendly and helpful at Zarrahs.”
“The meat here is always fresh and delicious. If they don't have it in the case, they will cut it for you if they can. Everyone is friendly and they have a lot of other stuff to help you round out a meal if you just want to make one stop”
“Amazing selection of quality meat cuts. To add on top of that, their seasoning/marinade is homemade. It gives the meat a delicious juicy flavor. I always go to this meat market when I want to turn the pit on. I know what I’m getting and it never disappoints. Haven’t stopped coming since I first bought from here about 6 months ago. Bob Starks is one of, if not, THEE best meat market in the entire 956 area.”
“We are first time winter Texans. We are from Hawai'i. A friend at our resort told us about Vera's King of Meats at E. University. We have been coming here since November '23 and the quality, variety and price of meats can't be beat. The customer service is wonderful! We have been telling others in our resort about Vera's. We are freezing some steaks to take north. We'll see you in October!”

“Ive been buying all my barbeque needs since a kid. Remember my father always saying lets go to aguilars to buy fajita and chicken. And now i feel proud its still around to serve us”
“I recommend the barbecue they sell is very delicious, it doesn't have a bad taste like in other places, for a pound they give you tortillas with red sauce ? that one is not spicy, and the green one and the other red one are... The Menudo should be sold without grains , as far as I know since I come from a municipality of Guananjuato. The Menudo is grain-free, it's very expensive and they sell you more grains than meat. It's assumed that what they sell is the non-grain-free Menudo. From then on, everything else is good. They have their butcher shop that has their promotions on meat...”
“Customer service is amazing. Super friendly staff from the moment you walk In. Great meat and great prices. They have party packs with reasonable prices. Meat is good quality. Love their brisket sandwiches they serve on weekdays.”
“Would have been 5 stars but I stood there for 5 minutes without anyone saying anything to me. They Definitely looked at me but just kept on working. Finally I said something. THE MEAT IS AMAZING, definitely will be back.”
“Went there to get some breakfast tacos.I have noticed they have new personal in the kitchen.great food and the service is good.they have also some tables and chairs for customers that need to eat there. Definitely going back also lunch plates are really good.”
“Exceptional service and quality. I have always been a customer and keep returning cause they never let me down. They always have the items I am looking for at a great price. Thank-you for your superior service and attention to your customers.”
“Excellent Cabrito baby Goat.
First time making Cabrito on our own and they were very helpful in answering all our questions. It came out very delicious in the Ataúd.”
“Hell of a place to get a semi into. It's mostly a wholesale produce market. There's cars coming and going and trucks trying to deliver all at the same time. Crazy”

“Best meat market in valley. Excellent quality, fair prices and NO added weight with styrofoam and liquid pads.Only charged for what you can eat!!!Meat counter staff are the best, always welcoming you and happy to help.Front door staff always say welcome upon entering the store.I highly recommend to everyone.”
“I love the fresh cut meat there. I had to get some fajita meat for my wife. The store definitely reminded me of the meat stores in Miami. AND they were giving out free chicken plates to the community. I love it!”
“Made a big order for a team building, food for 50 - did not want to stress much just told the owner to cater everything needed for the team. They made a really good bundle of everything needed fajita, chicken, rib-lets and all the sides, deserts, drinks etc. Everyone gave it a thumbs up! Excellent service and excellent products will definitely make this my one stop shop. Thank you, best tasting bbq I’ve tasted!”
“G’s Meat Market and Catering are the best in the game! You can’t beat the price, quality and customer service you receive there. If you haven’t tried the cilantro dip you’re definitely missing out!”
“We used to live nearby like 4 years ago, every time we would BBQ this was the place to go. Overall everything meat, lunch etc. is amazing! I grew up getting meat from (Aguilars meat market) but let me tell you their FAJITA! Amazing!”
“10/10 highly recommended. Meat always looks fresh. You have the option of letting them cook it for you, which is what I decided to do. Salsas' they offer are on point on flavor. It came out beautiful.”
“If have not been at El Rodeo, you're missing good tasting food. Lunch items move fast with the selection of picks. Not sure what foods you may like, but you'll be glad you treated yourself to delicious meal.”
“Potato and chorizo was very good and barbacoa was some of the best I've ever had. I'm not a fan of RGV tortillas, they use too much manteca. In this case, the filling compensated for the tortilla.”
“The chicharrón is incredible!! They sell many Mexican things, including different types of tortillas, tostadas, stews, sauces, etc. Maybe the shelves are a little empty but maybe I grabbed them just when they were refilling. Still, the store is very good if what you want is pork rinds with meat or meat in general :D”
“The meat bundle with a bag of coal is great, I buy our food from here every BBQ night. Yall might see me here tomorrow, just say: "pshhh. eyyyt, Guapeton!" And if I turn then that's me 😔
“I always go to Ruben's drive-thru. Their customer service is wonderful I always get a smile and the ladies there even though they don't speak English too well there seem to understand me. I've been going here for about 8 years and I love the customer service. Thank You”

“Had breakfast here. The food was delicious but the kitchen staff was a little annoyed by us asking certain questions about their food line. The store was filled with mexican products and their tortillas were so good”
“This place used to be my go to for some beer and meat every Sunday during football season. They have a good selection of meat and they even have a restaurant inside that serves breakfast daily. If you're in the area I recommend stopping here at least once and experience it yourself.”
“Few food stores have what the hispanic culture call " Pan de Semita" ( Seed Bread). It was light and very tasty for early coffee or the " La merenda" ( afternoon coffee).”
“Fast food is the best we can get in a hurry. Delicious. It may have NOT natural or Preservatives as our home. But...it has never made me sick. Employers are friendly, and patient with our questions with honesty. Real tasty authentic Mexican Food. Also!!!! They fresh and meats products. Better quality than HEB & WALMART.
OHHH!!! Definitely lower prices.
