It has been a year since starting to go here. A friend of mine wanted to know if halal vs…read morenon-halal meats tasted different. So being the non-Muslem, I decided to help him decide. It is located in an old strip mall behind another building. This lead to no front door parking. So I found a spot and walked over. It is a small store with groceries to the right and a meat/butcher counter to the left. The store only had a couple of customers in it at that time. I strolled around the limited groceries and they had the basics. Then I wandered back toward the meat counter. Dividing the two sections I found precut meats. This is when I decided to do my test on chicken breasts. Couldn't find the full breasts so I went with smaller cut pieces. Just an FYI, you can request any cuts of meats at the counter. But I didn't want to wait so I grabbed and headed to pay and go. The results, BTW, halal meat was more tender and tasted the same and prices the same

I even grabbed a few pieces of their sweet bread to serve with strawberries and whipped cream. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generous. The carnitas were tender and perfectly seasoned, the fajitas were juicy, and the menudo was exactly what you want, rich, comforting, and authentic. The guacamole and salsa are freshly made. Best part? All of that was under $50. The staff is always friendly and they recognize their regulars, which makes it feel like a true neighborhood spot. If you're looking for quality Mexican food without restaurant prices, this is your go to spot. Austin Yelp elite approved!

Demi Meat is right next door to Big Bazaar. Cesar, store manager, was super kind to point out the assorted meats. Desi Meat is a small shop with an assortment of meats including goat, tripas, chicken and seafood . It is important to note they carry halal meats, which tefers to what is permissible or lawful under Islamic law. Meat must be sourced from animals slaughtered according to specific guidelines. This is definitely a store to explore when I'm back to eating meat. The store has a very laid back atmosphere.

Like all good Texans we like steaks. So when we had a chance to try these authentic Wagyu Gold…read moreRib-Eyes we got a sous-vide cooker, got some good red wine and invited some friends over. The steaks are phenomenal. Over 1 inch thick, beautifully marbled. They are grass fed and organic. We cooked them sous vide and then finished on the charcoal grill. My god, they were delicious. Every guest loved the steaks and more than one said these were the best steaks they have had in a long time. Juicy, flavorful, and like all authentic Wagyu should, the fat melts quickly and provides incredible flavor. Then we learned Colinas sells all kind of Wagyu, Prime, and other steaks including seasoned and pre-cooked meat form their sister company Takavron, which is a food truck. They also sell chicken, fish, some produce, and essentials like tortillas! Plus. they are local. They will deliver for free any order over $75. If you like steak, you need to give these guys a try.

We typically visit Natural Grocers as part of our weekly shopping. However, over the last several…read moremonths they have had refrigeration problems that have plagued all of their dairy, meats, frozen goods, and other cold sections. Unfortunately, they can not seem to get these issues resolved and the fixes are very temporary. Sometimes they have cold items in the back of the store that they say they can get for you, but lately I have been met with short responses and more reluctance than support. Since, they can not get these problems resolved, I do not recommend shopping there until the company replaces the refrigeration as product availability is very unreliable and it is frustrating to show up there thinking of purchasing weekly groceries only to have to get back in my car and go to another store.

I've visited La Chaparrita for the hot food and for the meat market and Mexican mart. The diner…read moreinside has very good and fresh food. Everything we got had a lot of flavor. There are chips and salsa available as well. The tortillas are not of the home made variety. The prices are fair for the area and they do have Pepsi fountain drinks. Being that there's also a store portion there's plenty of other drinks too. The serve was fast and there are a few tables to eat there. As for the meat market they have everything you could want. I am partial to the beef for fajitas. Many of the Mexican wares and candies are available. They also have a variety of aguas frescas and churros. If you're looking for a Mexican market this is a great place to visit.

Then I worked my way to the cafe/kitchen. I ordered 2 beef tacos. My Spanish is very limited. The sweet woman helping me spoke zero English. There were a lot of outside workers enjoying their lunch. I ended up with 2 papusas. Not sure of the meat filling- looked like chicken. (LOL), then a gentleman spoke to me and this time I got 2 beef fajita tacos on nice fresh corn tortillas. I kept the papusas too. They offered refrigerated cases of soda pop including Jaritos and juices, they also had large containers of several flavors of Agua Fresca of which I ordered a Grande Mango flavor. You could get your beverage with milk added as well. Probably seating for 25. No menu-once I moved up in line I could not only smell but I could see the steam tables which faced the staff and were loaded with food. There were a handful of things I didn't recognize. What I did recognize was beef fajitas, beef lingua, tripe, caldo de res, refried beans, Mexican rice, fresh tortillas. I sat down and opened the 2 beef tacos and ate one. It was really good and I was full so took the rest home. They sure don't skimp on the beef!!!! There were lots of diners coming and going. Most of them were getting combination plates. I'm going to have to figure that out next time. I had asked for a side of frijoles, but I was likely confused because I think the beans and rice only came with combination plates. Anyway, I enjoyed my taco and I'll definitely go back after I polish up my Spanish a bit !!!!

Maybe one or two stands a weekend, but you really have to hunt for them. I really wish I could pick up some veggies and produce, but need to find another market or just hit the local HEB All the vendors are super friendly and interactive.

I always pick up some fresh seafood from the fish market there as well. Golden pompano is my go-to; super helpful that they clean the fresh caught fish for you, free of charge! Other favorite aisles to hit are ramen, snacks, curry pastes/seasonings, and the frozen section for dumplings. No trip to HMart is complete without a stop at their incredible food court. This offers a variety of Asian food stalls - from sushi to Korean fried chicken, they have a spot for everyone. Our favorite spot is Tous Le Jours bakery. Their cloud cakes are phenomenal and melt in your mouth good! In addition to the groceries and food court, they even have a small arcade and play area for the little ones, shops offering skincare products, and a hair salon. Truly one of a kind shopping experience!
