My son and law and I came here to purchase boxes on steaks for his clients and for ourselves. This…read morehas become an annual event when we travel to Mexico on vacation during Christmas. As usual they were crowded but we did get assistance from a customer service personnel fairly quick. It took about a 1/2 hour to get our order but that was expected for purchasing 17 boxes of hand picked meats. I also found some hard to hard Mexican cheeses to take back to Florida with me. Overall this market is very clean and has good quality meats. Will definitely return next year.

Amazing butcher. Great meat selection and the chicharrones are worth bringing on the plane with you…read more(they'll even wrap in plastic to make it easy). I know because I did.

Had the rib eye. Thin, not a lot of marbeling. BUT, one of the best steaks I have ever eaten…read more Friend brought from Monterrey,frozen and vacuum sealed. I live in San Diego and grilled it. Gas grill set at 500 degrees. Place in middle of grill not over the flames. Close cover. I seared both sides then let it cook for 3-4 minutes each side. Came out perfect. Better than any thing I get at Costco. Tender like a filet mignon and so much more flavor than the filet.

City Market is a gem. It's two floors of freshly made Mexican food, international foodstuffs,…read morefruits and vegetables. On the second floor, there is a high quality selection of wine and liquor with professional staff to support pairings, substitutions, new flavors. They carry a wide range from budget to high-end. Behind that, you run into a high-end butcher and fish market section, you can have meat and fish cut to order, or select from pre-cut meats of high quality. They carry organics, imported, and regional. Deli meats and cheeses are here, too, along with frozen selections for these categories. Moving around you come to a full on Mexican and European bakery, sourdough and rye, yes. Fresh baguettes, yes. Pan dulce, donuts, tortilla, masa, chips, croissants, in all shapes and sizes. FRESH. FRESH. FRESH. Made daily. They do not carry everything you'd see at many traditional Mexican bakeries, but they carry enough. They also carry full and mini sizes in some of their traditional Mexican pan dulce and bread. And it is good. I head here or order treats from City Market's panaderia almost every weekend. Closing out the second floor are several restaurants, yes, restaurants. Seafood, Italian, coffee shop, paella. Yes, yes, yes. And it's good. You can sit in one place and order from all, if you want. The food is fresh and good. The staff is attentive. Mixed in the upstairs and downstairs are high end dishes and kitchenware, higher quality than you will find in most stores in Mexico, and beautiful. You'll find everything from standard dishes and serviing sets to a wide range of glassware and cookware. The first floor is primarily grocery with a large craft beer, Mexican and imported, soft drinks, waters, and lots of imported, European and Asian grocery staples. Their dairy cases and fresh vegetables and fruits are high quality. If they don't have it, it's probably not available in the city. You can take a field trip to City Market or you can just go get what you need - maybe!
