Mercadito del Valle is a hidden gem in the area, offering an authentic Mexican shopping and dining experience. This meat market carries a wide variety of fresh, marinated, and seasoned meats, including the hard-to-find fresh liver, which is available daily. The on-site butcher is dedicated to satisfying customers' needs. In addition to the impressive meat selection, the market also offers fresh chicken and pork tamales, sold by the half-dozen, as well as a selection of hard-to-find fresh vegetables and cheeses for authentic home-cooked meals. The in-store bakery provides a tempting array of delicious baked goods and candies to satisfy any sweet tooth. While some of the menu items may be considered pricey, the quality of the food is consistently praised. Customers particularly enjoy the authentic Mexican dishes, such as the flavorful menudo and the open-faced huaraches.

Came in to get something to drink, left with seasonings, tomatillos, drinks beans and the most awesome tamales. (Chicken) Yummy homemade! I usually buy tamales at Costco in bulk, these are hot and made on the spot. Going back for more! Staff was super nice. I can hardly wait to try the restaurant which is on site.
