When you're short on time (too late to prep marinated meat) or staying away from home (AirBnB, hotel with kitchenette) finding a good carniceria is the answer. This place is great! Not huge, but we turned chicken adobo, homemade guacamole, homemade salsa verde, a couple peppers and some tortillas into an excellent dinner. The meat was so tasty and the salsa was very flavorful and fresh tasting. Guacamole was also good and I must say a serious bargain. The inside is clean, staff is super friendly and prices are very good. We will shop here again - I'm dying to try the ceviches! read more

Stopped by this meat market looking to buy premade ceviche. The store is very neat and clean, and well stocked with Mexican products and meat. The ceviche we ordered was not bad, but lacked flavor. The good thing about it was that it tasted very fresh. We also ordered some marinated chicken which was very good. Service was fast and prices for meat and seafood seemed reasonable. Will return next time we are in the area and we want to buy fresh meat, seafood or Mexican products. read more

I was surprised how organized and small this carnicería is. Everything you need to make some grilled meats. Found this corn cake at the cash register should have taken all of them they were so good. We will definitely visit when we are in the area. Worker were all nice and they prepare the meat for you if you want. Different variety of tortillas. read more

We came to Palm Springs from out of state for a surprise birthday party. I wanted something to feed 18 people that was easy to put together. I just happened to come across this wonderful Mexican meat market. I thought tacos should be easy. The people are friendly and helpful (and patient). I purchased the carne asada and pollo Asato, along with all the ceviches and salsas. We also got a large pan of Spanish rice and beans. Everything was fresh and delicious. Someone even helped load up my car. The best thing (besides the quality and people) is that everything we needed was there: fresh tortillas, vegetables, desserts, etc. It made it easy for us since we're not familiar with that area. read more

This Mexican meat market has all the meat, cheese and fresh salsa you might want. They also have specialty ingredients that I can't find in a traditional grocery store. I usually wind up going in for some dried peppers or spices and wind up walking out with carne asada or pollo asado, chips and guacamole. And actually that's not a bad outcome at all. read more

Found it by accident when visiting another nearby business. There are NO Accidents. My brother and I noticed it, and walked in to our utter delight. Fresh salsas, ceviches, tamales, carne asada, chicken.... All we needed for a taco party I wanted to host. I have been back a couple times since, and will go again today to stock up for Cinco de Mayo. This place has it all, even the coolest Mexican candies (tamarindo, yum). Friendly service, great variety, fresh everything, and easy parking. What is not to LOVE?! Getting hungry just thinking about it. read more

If I lived in this area, I'd be a regular. It's a great little market. I liked the variety of foods that you can't buy at the national brand grocery stores. I took a pic of their meat counter as an illustration. Here you can get marinated meats with great flavors. The variety of pantry foods is also wider than the national brand grocery stores. read more

Very discreet store front. Once inside a nice carniceria with many folks working behind the counter. No wait time to speak with the butcher. I asked about a cut that wasn't displayed and they actually had it in the back, just not yet cut. With three perfectly cut steaks, I left with a great cut at a great price. Highly recommend. read more

Una de 2 mejores carnicerías q hay . Gracias MANUEL ....... Puro chorizo power arriba el Toluca

Best carne asada you will taste, hands down. I don't remember the last time I bought meat from a meat market with this quality. New retired resident and will continue now to buy only from this meat market. read more

Carniceria Atoyac - Carne asada tacos - Meat Shops Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Amazing salsas,marinated chicken,beef,cheeses and everything you need for a dinner feast. Very helpful & fresh

I drove up EARLY on Saturday morning, wanting to grill by 10am to avoid the HEAT, while torturing my neighbors.....Ha-Ha. As I arrive, there is a drunk-ass doing pushups on the asphalt. When he stood up, dude was every kind and angle of a weeble wobble. Later as I left, another appeared in the front of a next door patron. Keep your head on a swivel people. I have been inside this store a few times. It is organized & clean. On my list was marinated chicken, sirloin and other items including a SPICY salsa. ($2.99 lb.) I found all the items I needed and there was plenty of willing staff to help. There were a few other patrons, so social distancing was easy to pull off. Yes, we were all wearing masks too. read more

I had never been in this store before, but since I had lived up north in Salinas and been to so many Hispanic stores I decided it was time to venture anew and give them a try. And I was amazed at the incredible variety of items.fir sale. The meats all looked so delicious. The chili relleno, my favorite, was delightful. And now I know where to get my supplies for cooking up a Mexican feast. Such a grand store. read more

A veritable oasis in the desert! If you want to grill up a bunch of meat for the best tacos you'll ever have, get thee to this market immediately and plan to frequent it often. Everything you need is here, and it's at a great price for the excellent quality and service. Just start with one end of the counter and work your way down. Along the way, you'll find cremas of every variety, crumbly cotija and fresco cheeses, deliciously fresh guacamole, and handmade salsas with heat that goes from feed-it-to-the-kids to melt-your-face-off. The real star, though, is the selection of chicken, beef, and pork both marinated and not, which is going to make you look like a boss with your friends and family on taco night. There's also a dazzling display of tortillas, a very capable beer case, shelves of well-stocked staples, and some baked goods for your sweet tooth. I'm already planning my next trip! read more

This place is awesome for most of your Mexican food needs. The butchers and cashiers are very friendly and help all they can to help you understand a product you might not be familiar with. The carne asada I got was awesome after being cooked. The marinade was perfect. They also have a nice little produce area in case you need something to elevate your food. This is my go to Mexican meat market! read more

Best carniceria in the Coachella valley. Tried recommendations from the locals but left me seeking better. I am a local in the area now and this will be my got to spot moving forward. The carne asada and chicken was amazing. The marinades are amazing on the meats. Rice beans and guacamole and salsa are also really good as well. This is my go to spot moving forward until something better is found but I ain't seeking it out. read more

Great place to pick up mexican prepared food while vacationing. Picked up several pounds of ceviche and it was well made. read more

Found this place on Yelp during a Palm Desert family vacation as we were all having a craving for authentic Pollo adobado and Carne Asada tacos. This place totally delivers the goods, Atoyac is your classic Mexican tiendita and meat market with delicious marinades, salads and meat cuts. We got 2 lbs of adobado, pico and some smoked spicy salsa Cotijas-style that had some serious heat! Very friendly and helpful staff. You can tell this is a locals joint. A new favorite spot for me during my annual trips to Palm Desert for sure. read more

Excellent fresh taco meat and ceviche. Always clean and fresh selection of meat. Also bomb Guacamole and a variety of salsas and tortillas.

I was looking forward to some bomb meat based on the reviews.....however, to my surprise, the meat had no flavor and tasted very sour from the marinate juices. I bought several pounds of the flat/ ranchera meat and adobo chicken. Wish the outcome was different...first and last for me. read more

Carne asada is good, even my wife enjoyed it and she is not a huge fan of Mexican food. The fish ceviche is very delicious and so is the guacamole. Beer is way overpriced in that place. They also do not accept credit cards which was very inconvenient. read more

FRESH guac and salsa!!! Super seasoned and tasty marinated ranchera!! Really clean establishment and staff are always friendly.

Real bad!! services!! from the cashiers, with attitude and rudness very desricpectful, specialy from the (shortone) ugh!,very disappointed.

Perfect neighborhood supermercado. Has all the fresh ingredients you need for any Mexican meal. They marinade carne asada to order, adding fresh onions and cilantro to the sauce. read more

Greatest place to get Carne Asada, Pollo Asada and Carnitas. I frequently come here for meat. The counter service is awesome and the guys are so helpful. Keep up the strong work. Fight on read more

Great local find. Their meat cut selection is great and basics were sufficient. They don't have a ton of general groceries but enough for when you need the basics for bbq and tacos. What was new to me was their option for the wet marinade. Most carniceria's we have up in NorCal are dry seasoned marinades. With the wet, dipped on demand marinades you can really taste the difference. We got the typical steak cut for asada tacos but also got the cross cut short rib which I think is one of the tastiest cuts for bbq. We'll be back for sure. They have some exotic cuts as well but we stick to the basics. read more

Living in the valley we have grown accustomed to Great Mexican food. Mainly because we cook all our Mexican food at home. I make all my own sauces, salsas, and enchiladas. But there are those days when you just don't want to cook and still want stellar food. Enter Atoyac! Atoyac is authentic! The carne asada is prepared and marinated in front of you! No day old meat here. No seasoning that make you sick, just citrus. The salas and guacamole is super fresh. The staff is unbelievably friendly and helpful. Oh I forgot to mention I speak zero Spanish and am well very Caucasian. I feel safe inside, at least when it's still daylight, I make my husband go get the fixings after dark. None the less the food and all the trimmings make you want to say o'le! read more

Excellent very friendly. Wonderful fresh meat the only butcher shop in the area and great fresh vegetables!

While out of area at Airbnb in PS wanted to do a Carne Asada bbq with all fixing but since not from the area took a chance and found Atoyac at it was legit the real deal. Everything you need! read more
