From the minute you walk in the business is always extremely clean and the Services top notch. I have never walked in here without being greeted and today was no exception. The owner himself was in on my visit today and we had a great conversation. The owner and his staff are super friendly and always willing to help with any of your needs. The meat they carry is always high end prime or wagyu which is always delicious. The seasoning on the meat if you get it prepared is delicious! The meat is always super tender. I have tried tons of meat markets but my family and I always find ourselves coming back to La Carne Meat Market. They also have charcoal, spices, tortillas, salsas, guacamole which is delicious, and any other bbq need you might have. Definitely come and check them out you will not be disappointed!!

The merch, is well organized. Have you ever used walnut cold pressed oil? Mean either but you can purchase a bottle for like $22 or 32 bucks can't remember. We were greeted with smiles by butcher and cashier. They guy was very knowledgeable and courteous as I am not a thorough bbq/meat guy as he explained the meats. We purchased the Denver prime steaks and he season them. We also purchased the garlic salt butter. Very salty I would recommend a small dollop on your steak, very small. 4 steaks and roll of garlic butter salt cost was about $58 bucks. Not bad at all. Steaks were delicious. I would have posted a picture, but they were to good to look at vs eat them. Highly recommend.

Then there's the holidays. I'd never smoked a Thanksgiving turkey and don't particularly like the flavor of smoked meats, but theirs is just right. Very mild smoke flavor but the most tender and juicy turkey we've ever had. We'll never again cook it ourselves! Add on steaks they'll cut to whatever thickness you want, sausage, and so on, and this is a definite go-to right in the heart of Tulare. Give it a try. You won't regret it!

This store is very well stocked. Also this store used to be called, Jimenez Market so I give the new owner props on keeping businesses like these with a history going. If you come from a small town you know exactly what I am talking about. You can only get that small town vibe from these types of local businesses. Only thing missing is that old school wooden rack where they used to sell mini comics and magazines. Sensacional de Luchas was the Mexican comic books I used to look for back in the 90's. That's how old I am. Lol
