Came here on a whim after our afternoon activity and the husband wanted to check this place out and grab some meat cuts. So many choices of meat cuts! Anything you can imagine all here! While I saw they had some fresh coconut juice for sale, that was a must when it was getting hot during the summer. Service was prompt and got helped once available! Prices were fair. Parking was ample while we were there! read more

I used to be a fan of this place, especially when they first started selling fresh coconuts. Unfortunately, things have really gone downhill. First, the prices changed drastically, and ever since then, the quality has been consistently below par. We spend quite a bit here, but it has become a regular disappointment. If it happened once in a while, I could understand, but it's every single time. Out of a bag, we regularly end up losing 3 to 4 coconuts. The last time was the worst, 8 out of 12 were bad. What's the point of buying them if the quality keeps going down? Really disappointing experience from a place I once trusted. read more

ZABIHA HALAL ! We are absolutely BLESSED to have Alamo Farms available. Outside of Ali Baba, this is our GO TO for fresh meat -- they have live animals in an enclosed area next to the store front, and if you'd like you can actually choose your meats. Alamo Farms has a WIDE RANGE of meats and cuts available. At times, they may run out of something due to popularity and their VERY AFFORDABLE price, but that's not on them. Every time I come here, there's at least 4-5 cars parked outside. They don't serve just the Muslim population, but an entire community. For my *halal* lovers, I've personally seen the rooms / freezers in the back of the lot and it is VERY CLEAN. You can easily see that the blood has been drained from the animal, and it is done ethically. My husband buys PLENTY at one time to put into our deep freezer and we've never had any issues with any freezer burns either. I personally love their short ribs, T-bone steak, and ribeye. The gentlemen that work also make great recommendations when you are looking for a specific cut of meat. We wanted to make beef birria tacos and the cut they recommended yielded PERFECTION. Alhamdulilah for Alamo Farms. read more

My favorite local meat market in San Antonio. I love the affordable prices. I also loved that they have the live animals and being able to view the whole process of the animal being butchered. You can also have it cut to your liking! I'm very grateful I found this gem. The differences in taste between their meats and the meats you get at the grocery store is very noticeable and so fresh. read more

I recently posted a review on Google maps (and will on other social media review sites as well) and left only one star. Why? They were out of almost everything on Labor Day. AND an advertised price was misleading. Alamo farms had a Labor Day sale of $6.99 a pound for T-Bone sirloin or ribeye. I called on Sunday to see if they were going to be open on Monday and if they took credit cards. I told them I had seen the sale online and wondered if they were well-stocked. I was told they were. I drove 30 miles on Labor Day Monday to get there only to see THREE relatively thin cut ribeyes in the display case, and absolutely nothing else. No T-Bone, No Sirloin. Thinking perhaps they had some beef hanging in their cooler, I asked an individual if they could cut thicker steaks, and I was told they could cut them as thick as I wanted them (for proper grilling or cooking in a cast iron skillet in an oven you need at least one inch thick steaks if not 1 1/2 to 2 inch thick steaks). But I was told prime category would be $8.99 a pound - which is not a bad price, but that is not what was ADVERTISED. I asked about the advertised price, and I was told those were "choice" quality (still not a bad cut) and they were sold out Saturday (thank you for telling me on the phone when I called to save me a trip!) and that the ad was 'clear' that it was subject to whatever was on hand (no rain checks of course, as if anyone does that anymore - as I would have gladly taken a rain check for a later date). I am attaching a screenshot of their ad. If you can see the asterisk or something that says it only applied to "choice" cuts, and that it was only subject to whatever was already cut or on hand, I will gladly buy you lunch and apologize. I offered to show the ad, but no one was interested. I wonder why?? Where I come from, that is called "bait and switch" advertising. I don't know if it is illegal in Texas, but it is certainly bad faith and maybe the local press, or the trade commission would like to know about this? It does not give a very good impression of a place I had hoped to make a long time merchant that I would go to very regularly. But now I don't know if I will be back unless they want to call and talk to me and work something out. I kind of have a problem dealing with people who LIE to me and who LIE in their advertising. That is not a respectable way to run a business. But I welcome the opportunity for them to match their advertised price and I will purchase several pounds. Until then folks, I would encourage you all to look elsewhere. read more

Alamo Farms - Butcher Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I brought two lambs in for butchering. One I needed inspected because we were going to sell the cuts through our farm. The other had been purchased by two people was they were splitting it. I asked if they were USDA inspected and I was told they were. I dropped off the two lambs for slaughter. The first thing I noticed was a really bad smell. I put it aside and dropped off the lambs. The lamb I was selling as cuts was processed first. I picked the lamb up and there were no labels on it with weights. They used a black marker to write on the shrink-wrap package what the cut was. I asked them to put on a label with weights which they did. It had their name on the label along with a weight and a price, however there was no stamp or sticker for USDA inspection. I asked about this and was brought into their cooler where they showed me a carcass with a state inspection stamp on it. He told me mine had been inspected and stamped too. He had the owner type up a Word document stating my cuts were inspected. When I got home I realized there wasn't any ground lamb and it seemed like I should have more. I called them and they assured me I had all of my lamb. About 3 days later they called back and said there was a mistake and they found more of my lamb. I was told I could come pick it up. How can I sell this and say it was really my lamb? The two people who split the other lamb had similar experiences. Both complained about the smell. One person said he didn't get any ground lamb. The other said her packages weren't even labeled. She does not know for sure what the cuts are. She wanted ground lamb in smaller packages. (I gave him the cut sheet with her request.) She got two packages. One was about 5 pounds of ground lamb. The other around a 1-2 pounds. The 5-pound package did not meet her needs. She doesn't cook 5 pounds at a time. I will not be going back. I was embarrassed by the quality of the work and mad at the same time. We are a business that values all of our customers and strives to make sure they are satisfied with the product. This was not even remotely satisfactory. read more

I feel like i just unlocked a foodie secret source, likely to get banned from the club but i can't not share. So here goes: i eat goat, yep sure do, and not many places here to get mannish wata so no option but to make it. For a very longtime i had no idea where to find the key ingredient: goat meat. In comes Alamo farm. I opened the door and the sheer cleanliness of the storefront and showcase made me comfortable. Service was excellent, the right amount of light banter mixed with good information. I left happy with fresh ingredients and my soup was delicious! They sell poultry and beef also. read more

It was disgusting with feces everywhere and no one could speak proper English. The chickens were bleeding and the animals were so cramped that they could barely move. I waited for 30 minutes for someone to finally realize I was there. If you come here, I recommend you just don't go to the live animal section unless you're able to handle it. read more

Alamo Farms - The damaged chickens and nasty feces cage - Butcher Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

If you want regular US cuts, or Mexican, or others, call, and they will see what they can do. VERY helpful staff, willing to work with your needs/desires. Prices similar to regular supermarkets, but the meat is actually tastier! Chicken eggs are very well priced, and the egg-laying and the meat chicken have no hormones, steroids nor antibiotics added at any point in their life, so both meat and eggs are free of these; plus since they are not forced to grow fast, they, too, are tasty. I will be returning there for all my egg needs, as well as meats. They also have honey! read more

Thank you for your kind service for our Muslim and other communities. Halal meat can't be substantiated with nothing

I haven't used their business yet but went to visit. What an unique business in the middle of the city? Fresh meat for very affordable! It's super clean too. I recommend just going there and checking it out!! read more

First timer here but the employees were super friendly and quick to attend me! One of the guys showed me around and of course had to order myself a fresh chicken lol read more

Alamo Farms - a chicken being held by a person - Butcher Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Used this butcher for 3 lambs, they were horrible, we are a small business and they have lost us at least 1 if not 2 clients due to their lack of cleanliness, lack of honesty and lack of good service. Alamo Farms did not label the cuts of meat, did not label the weights and lied about being USDA certified. We specifically asked if they were. They told us, when we picked up our product, that we had everything, told our customers they had everything, when they picked up what they had ordered from the lambs they had entrusted to be properly labeled and accounted for, BUT IT WAS SHORT ALL THE GROUND LAMB, for ours and theirs. that's at least 8 to 10 lbs. We called and said we were shorted and that our customers were shorted and they said "No, we gave you everything". Three (3) days later we get a call, "We found what should have been your ground lamb". How can we sell it now? Is it ours? Is it completely grain free? Ours were, our customers wanted grain free, grass fed, grass finished lamb, as we cannot guarantee what Alamo Farms found several days after the fact. I am so disappointed and angry that we were trusting them with not only product for us to sell but also sent two (2) of our customers to them and our trust and our customers trust in both us and in the business we recommended was shattered. We will never use them again. read more

They claim on their website that their meat is never frozen. However, as I first time customer I asked for more ribs and the guy goes to the back to pull out a frozen rack. Still, prices are great. The outside smells like a barn with animals. Once in a while the smell of rotting meat or blood blows across your face. Stop claiming things aren't frozen. read more

I have to say I'm very happy that this place is existed in San Antonio. It is Halal meat hundred percent. Organic and always fresh. I don't only recommend Muslims to go there , anyone that seeks freshness, and quality should go to Alamo farm. Not to mention the friendly staff . The eggs are fresh and inexpensive. The fermented pickles what else? Several types of chickens. I shared with my family a calf and its meat was the best I have ever tried in this country . If I wasn't tired, i would have written more about this great place read more

Took my chickens to get processed. Very fast and clean! Great service. Plenty of poultry and other animals to choose from or take your own! $5/chicken! Can't beat it! read more

My husband Raul told me about this place it sounded too good to be true. I'm so glad it's true, the meats, chicken etc are So fresh you can't get any better than that and the quality and taste is absolutely amazing when grilled. We Never by our meats or chicken anywhere else but here. it's the best and we love supporting small businesses. Keep up the great work! Employees are always nice and friendly and willing to help. read more

I like going to this place to support small businesses. The signage as far as pricing and cuts could be better but all you have to do is ask and talk to the clerk or cutter. Also, they have live animals on premises that you can select to have butchered or just to buy and take home as dinner or pets -- your call. read more

We were curious to see what this place was about cause it seem to good to be true. If you like farm to table eating or just "old school" and grew up with grandparents that would slaughter their own meat this is the real thing! The animals they do have on hand (they have a fast turnover) are healthy and happy. Prices of the meats that they do have are equal to HEB. They can process a chicken in no time. What a good way to teach your kids that meat doesn't come from a styrofoam tray. Please go visit and have "Nathan" give you a tour. He's great. We'll be sending our animals to slaughter here. read more

I went with my kids today to check out Alamo Farms and it was very clean. The lambs and the goats are penned in together and there was very fresh hay in there for them to sit on. The animals looked very well fed and well cared for. The chickens rabbits and ducks were in cages but the cages were very clean there was no foul smell and the animals were not crowded. The inside market was also very clean and I purchased two roasting chickens and 2 pounds of ground meat. It is halal meat which I have had before in Chicago and the meat is so fresh and delicious. I will be getting my meat from AF from now on. read more

This place is incredible! So clean. I buy all of my eggs and chicken and lamb here, I can't believe the prices for pasture-raised meat! The flavor is so much better than the grocery store and I sleep better knowing the animals were treated humanely during their life. Did I mention the prices? Usually I pay through the nose for anything pastured, not so at Alamo Farms. The highest quality, immaculate butcher room and storefront, amazing prices. Stop by, you won't be sorry. read more

I visited a couple times and intend to go again. The staff is very friendly. Service is excellent. Going to try ordering ahead of time for items that are on their board but not readily available when you visit. Their eggs are great. read more

The meat is always lean and delicious, the prices are amazing, and the service is great. This is my source for meat in San Antonio. They also have quail eggs and great deals on brown chicken eggs. Leave inflation at the big grocery stores behind and shop at Alamo Farms. read more

The best meat in town! Everyone here is so friendly, Alamo Farms is always great! knowledge, help, experience, quality... you name it. And excellent customer service! read more

Seriously folks!!! This is the next best thing to sliced bread! Since they have opened I go at least once a week to get my poultry, eggs and to see what they have to offer. We have never been disappointed. The fact that you can pick out the animal you want, they take them back to an immaculately clean butcher room and they are treated humanely as they are slaughtered. You can definitely taste a huge difference from what you get at a grocery store. Every one there is knowledgeable and go way beyond perfect in the customer service that they provide. Please go and give them a try. I promise, you won't buy your meat anywhere else, ever again! read more

Thank you Alamo farms for providing to the people quality products I have experienced many of your products and I am happy to post a five star rating read more
