    Dry tamales in the trash from Carniceria Lopez.
    Javier J.

    I've been purchasing tamales here from Carniceria Lopez for some time now because the moisture of the masa taste and the choice of ingredients in the sauces. Made the tamales taste better than their competition down the road. I did mind paying $30 a dozen which is substantially higher than the competition. I regret to inform you after purchasing tamales on 11/11/24 this was not the case. What a difference in the flavor! Dry masa and the chicken tamales had hardly any sauce which made them taste even dryer. Unfortunately something has changed in the preparation. Just not the same. I will now have to find another place for tamales

    I had to come here because I was late getting to La Esperanza, but it was a good thing that they were sold out of what I needed down the street. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come down here. There's a little market and carniceria here, but I only went to the carniceria side, so the review will only reflect that part of the premises. I was quickly helped by a very kind employee, and she fulfilled my order with swiftness. She made sure what I had asked for was what I really wanted, confirming what I wanted in English. They had a variety of cooked meats readily available to grab and go with, and I got chicharron and carnitas. They were solid, with my preferring the carnitas over the chicharron. I wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase here again. Both selections of meat were good. Were they excellent, 5-star quality meat? I would love to give that answer confidently, but I can't. I'd love to try again when it's fresher made, but I came late into the day/evening. Despite that, they were really good. I'll have to come again earlier in the day on another occasion. I might try some of the prepared dishes next time, and hopefully the same kind of experience will be reflected.

    The meet here never fails to disappoint! They have all types of cuts for any occasion from a small to a big get together. Everyone that works in the carneceria knows their stuff. There are other big supermarkets in the area with lower prices but they don't have the quality like they do here. They also got a hot food area where everything is made fresh. Perfect when you're on the go. My favorite to get is the asada burrito with the red salsa. They load it up with meat. They have a little market as well with fresh veggies, bread, and even tamales! It's all go for all your needs.

    Shrimp tostada is decent. Tender shrimp albeit kinda bland (nothing lime slices can't fix though). A bit disappointed on the bag of tortilla chips and tub of salsa roja that I also got. Supposedly the tortilla chips are house-made but they don't have the thick crunchiness that fresh tortilla chips have. Honestly they're like unflavored Doritos. Kinda stale too. The salsa roja has a strange sweetness like as if conventional hot sauce was added to it (it's also thicker than the salsa roja that I'm used to). Not my jam. Eh, overall the place is okay, but it's hard to strongly recommend this spot when there are a bunch of Mexican spots in the area, some that have better offerings.

    DRY MEAT WITH NO SOUR CREAM NOR GUCAMOLE WHILE HE CHARGED ME FOR 2 SUPER BURRITOS

    Hands down, HANDS DOWN!!! The best burrito I've had from a carnicería!!! The asada was tasty, the salsa on point, the rice and beans were cooked to perfection. It tasted like something my momma would make, I had to look at the cook to make sure it wasn't my momma. Every bite was delicious. Only complaint and it's not on them but me, if the tortilla was a little crispy.....Umph!!! It would've been 12 out 10 stars. Burrito and a drink all for 13 dollars. A good price for a great meal. Will definitely be back and next time I'll buy meat here to cook and see how that bad boy comes out. Would recommend this place for all the burrito snobs out there. You'll love it!!! You might kill the cook like Johnny Deep did in Once upon a time in Mexico, that's how good this thang was!!!

    Candy!!!

    Absolutely my favorite spot to hit up when I come back to Cali! I have been coming here since I was 11 and it is still the best. Hits right, tastes amazing and always makes me feel right back at home!!! Thank you for everything!

    Rafael G.

    So good!!! That's what I said ten times after 5 omgs!! The burritos are so delicious and yummy and the tortas are like back home with beans and cheese and crema! Mmmm I'm gonna gain like ten pounds after writing this review they are good! Check them out!

    Jan Jeric M.

    Back again. STILL the best taco place I've tried this side of Sacramento. Everything I've had is amazing. Why haven't you come here yet?!!!!

The sisig chicken was equally impressive, packed with flavor from the Asian marinade and finished with a delicious smoky char. Nox Barbeque truly gets it right. As an Asian American, I've always believed barbecue should come with rice, and I've never really connected with traditional coleslaw. Nox absolutely nailed the balance with their light Asian style slaw and perfectly seasoned rice. It felt both comforting and thoughtfully done. Thank you for creating a barbecue experience that feels both elevated and familiar.

They have a beautiful inside seating area as well as outside, so it really gives you that full experience special on these beautiful summer days. The food they have is absolutely incredible.

It is so juicy and fall off the bone a carnivore's dream honestly Will love to come back here again sometime it was a incredible experience

Ordered plate that came w/ plantain, yam, pork, spicy cabbage (this was bomb with the spinach n okra dish). Also got an empanada which was huge and delicious. It had hardboiled egg and sausage perfectly flavored. The dough wasn't sweet which I liked. It took 10-12 mins to cook as the dough was made fresh. Worth the wait and plan to get again. My kid enjoyed my leftovers too. It is only $9 (listed under appetizer) but honestly large enough for a lunch meal if trying to save $. Wish I took a pic before devouring it! Very welcoming srrvice too.

I ordered the battered pork bites (can't recall its name) and black mushroom rice with vegetables. The rice dish was absolutely delicious and that would have been enough for me, the pork had some good pieces though half of it was overcooked, the sautéed vegetables were so flavorful I finished it - that rarely happens with me. My lunch date had the jerk chicken and she just loved it but I understand it's spicy. The service was slow coming out of the kitchen - the woman that took our order was also the waitress. I may have to return and try something different -- that's if they remain open.
