    Came here on a whim because it's right up the street and figured what the heck, it's Mexican food and I live in Van Nuys so how bad can it be ... turns out this place is absolutely amazing!!!! I had a wet burrito for six bucks with chips it was so big and so delicious. I will definitely return.

    The carne asada was cut perfectly. No small useless parts that go to waste and just add to the weight. Nice clean meat and nice staff

    I honestly can't believe I never knew about this little gem in Van Nuys off of White Oak and…read moreVanowen! So I wanted to have a few friends come over with their kids on Sunday so they could play and we could watch football. I decided to hop on the grill, grab some drinks and make it a fun little day for everyone. I checked to see if my normal butcher spot was open but to my surprise it was permanently shut down. So I decided to look for a place nearby and came across Danny's Fresh Meat produce right around the corner from me. So I hop in the car and head over! It's in the same parking lot as Salsa and Beer so finding a park is always tough especially on a weekend. That parking lot is a nightmare but once you get a park it's all good. I walked in and it's a very small shop with a cashier in the front, two small isles of produce and meat in the back. It seems like it's all locals because everyone was talking to, who I assume was Danny, in the back working with the guys cutting up the meat. When it came to my turn, I told him I'd never been here so he explained what they do, how they cut the meat, the type of meats they have and that he's been there for 30 years! He is an extremely nice and helpful Armenian guy who has completely won me over. There are a few local places I love supporting in my community and he'll definitely be one of them. The place was very clean and organized. There wasn't a lot of produce but just enough to get your essentials. As for the meat, I picked up a pound and a half of beef loin tenderloin steak at $25.99 a pound and two pounds of marinated chicken breast cut in half's. He told me the steak would melt in my mouth and he told no lies!! The steak was so tender and everyone was asking where I got it from. He made sure to let me know he can slice it up any which way I needed it to be. Overall, Danny's is the perfect spot to grab some local produce and meat if you want to support your local businesses. It always feels good helping out people in your community. Beware of the parking though. 5 out of 5 Afros OOOOO

FOOD We found a lovely variety of fresh meats just ready to be cooked looking all kinds of delicious and my friend found the rabbit she was looking for at $11.99/lb.

They even made some recommendations for other items we were curious about. Even the patrons were friendly and as we waited to be helped we shared recipes and talked about what we'd be getting and what we'd be making for dinner with what we got here. AMBIANCE It was a chill environment. The employees were kind and helpful. The place was a HUGE store with a grand variety of everything you could need. I saw some artisan honeys and international candy and pastry options. HONORABLE MENTION The entrance is along the backside which is the opposite side of the Main Street. There are ample parking spaces. Go to this place ready to shop for your life, IT HAS EVERYTHING!!!

From the moment I walked in, the experience was great. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and all of the guys working there made it a point to let me know they were available if I needed help. As a first-time shopper, I never felt judged for asking questions or taking my time looking around. They were also extremely helpful getting my account set up and explaining how everything worked. The selection honestly exceeded my expectations. The quality of the meat is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable overall. A few items felt a little pricey, but not enough to take away from the experience. I've already been back twice since my first visit. I stocked my freezer with bone-in pork chops, lobster, and several other items, and the pork chop quality alone was enough to make me a repeat customer. I also loved seeing seafood options like orange roughy and red snapper--items that aren't always easy to find or are often sold out elsewhere. Knowing I can run over and grab quality proteins without making multiple stops is a huge plus. Beyond the meat and seafood, I was pleasantly surprised by the pantry selection. They carry sauces, seasonings, and other staples, and there were some really good sales happening at the front of the store. Parking was easy, and while most people seemed to get in and out quickly, I happily wandered every aisle because I wanted to see everything. If you're a home cook or a fellow chef looking for quality frozen, vacuum-sealed proteins and a fantastic selection, I definitely recommend checking out Wild Fork. I'll absolutely be back.

Service: no frills no thrills but you bet they will take GOOD care of you. Quiet leaders that simply get ish done and they're like a machine! Don't worry if what you want is out they can likely make it or find it quickly. Ambience: one table to sit and enjoy your purchase if you got a yummy cold pressed juice, smoothie, or a cold or hot snack or meal. Small boutique grocery store meets food mart. Food selection: they have delish sushi made to go on the spot and fresh pre made options! They have pre seasoned meats for those quick cook at home meals. Delish ready to go cold pressed juices and smoothies (highly recommend the Golden Milk with tumeric ginger vanilla coconut milk or water etc. Also recommend the chicken fried rice when freshly cooked at lunchtime! Also their fruits veggies and Asian cooking and food selections are fantastic. Parking: pretty easy in a decent sized plaza type lot. I imagine weekends can be tricky with TJs traffic.

I picked up a few items tonight, and one item missed the mark. * The Bad -- Hard Rice: The pickled pear baked salmon onigiri had a tough, dry texture. * Food : The package label showed the rice ball was already three days old. * High Price: It cost nearly $7 for stale food that I could not finish. Their prices are high. Head to the Valley's Japanese grocery store like Mitsuwa in Northridge for sushi or a Korean grocery store like Greenland Market in Van Nuys for prepared food made the same day at lower prices. The Good: * The spam musubi was made the same day and tasted fresh. * The butter mochi was delicious. Final Thoughts: I expected fresh food made that morning. Selling three-day-old rice balls at this price is unacceptable. I will not return because they sell items past their prime. I would not buy their sushi based on my experience as it might be old as well.
