Just stopped by to pick up chorizo, lomo, costillas and pierna de puerco to freeze and send up…read moreNorth to a family member that requested it. My family moves away and they still can't get over how great and fresh the meat is at Castillo's! Does not compare to any other carnicería in the county!!! My Sisters/family members that live out of county, come to town freeze meat at my house and take back! We are obsessed with the quality of meat here. They did stop selling raw menudo awhile back. So that we buy elsewhere now :/ Years ago .. they sold cooked menudo, carnitas /burritos but that also stopped. I will continue recommending this place to anyone and everyone :) Happy we have a great carnicería in Oxnard. Will never buy meat or chorizo from a grocery store NOT even close in quality! Customer service is good. Place is clean , though busy at times.

This is local family owned meat market. Best quality meat in town! Only place I trust to get my…read moremeat and groceries for a carne Asada! Their "home" made chorizo is incomparable, no longer will buy chorizo from anywhere else!

Finally checked out Ventura Meat Company and yeah... this is the kind of spot that makes you side…read moreeye grocery store meat counters forever. You can tell there's real care behind what they do. Everything feels intentional, from the quality of the meat to the fact that they practice whole-animal butchery and source locally through Hobson Family Farms. Love supporting businesses that are actually rooted in the community instead of just slapping "local" on a label. Also obsessed that they make everything in-house... jerky, sausages, beef sticks, bone broth powder, seasonings, even beef tallow. They also carry artisan bread, fresh produce, and organic milk, so somehow I walked in for meat and left feeling like a pioneer woman lol. The space itself feels warm, welcoming, and very Ventura in the best way. Clean, rustic, community-oriented... the kind of place where you can tell the regulars genuinely love coming in. It has that old-school neighborhood butcher shop energy but without feeling intimidating or pretentious. The staff was super welcoming and patient answering questions without making anyone feel intimidated. Whether you know your cuts of meat or you're just there because someone told you "trust me," they make the experience approachable. Honestly feels like one of Ventura's hidden gems. Made my husband very happy. He literally made flank steak the second we got home and was completely content. Now he's suddenly talking about buying a smoker!

This is a friendly neighborhood bodega that I like to visit when in the mood to make tacos at home…read more The focus of the store is their meat case which includes cuts of pork, chicken, & beef at what I consider to be very reasonable prices. In addition, they offer a wide variety of fresh-picked local vegetables, tortillas, homemade salsa, as well as a good selection of Mexican beers to accompany dinner. They do sell other items, I just never seem to purchase anything else. Bottom line: For less than $10, I brought home 1 1/2 lbs. of Picada de Res (beef), two large jalapenos, a pack of corn tortillas, a large container of salsa verde, and a bunch of cilantro.

Such a special little place this is. Come here for about anything, need cleaner for that bathroom,…read morethey got it. Meat to bbq on the weekend, they got it, a roadtrip snack, they got it. Best tacos in town, they got it. A cold one after a long day, yup they got it. But I must say their burritos are the best out there! So huge and full of flavor. For a price that you can't beat. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Can never get enough of the garden market in Santa Paula.

They have a meat department section, fresh produce and canned goods. They have plenty of snacks and also sell alcohol. It is well stocked and the prices are good. The market is located in colonia, where parking sucks at times. Luckily they have parking right outside. The best part is they have a hot food side, with plenty of food selections, tacos, burritos, tiraras etc. The beans are so good! The rice is very tasty! The salsa is very spicy so beware! The food is delicious and comes out fast! They accept credit/debit but charge .50 if your purchase is under $10. I'm sure Anyone can spend that much no problem lol
