Overall, the food was really good at this place. We got a bunch of tacos, which were all super flavorful. The meat was cooked perfectly! They had this special salsa they gave with the tacos that was super spicy and flavorful. We got a pack of tortillas, a couple different salsas, guacamole, and chips too. Definitely will be back! Seems like they keep the place clean and the service was great! Very friendly employees! Also, they had so many different kinds of raw meat that you could buy deli style which was super cool. They have a grocery section too. Plus they had a ton of cooked food options as well! read more

Carniceria Ponderosa - Carne Asada, Pollo, and Carnitas tacos. Guacamole, salsa Verde and red salsa along with their special taco salsa and chips. - International Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

A hidden gem, right next to panda express. Picked up carne asada, roast pork, a bunch of salsas, and made our own tacos at home. Totally worth it. Screaming deal, because if you get the same type of food at a restaurant, you're probably paying triple the price. Will be back, for sure, to try other selections. read more

Carniceria Ponderosa - Carne asada, roast pork--do-it-yourself taco with variety of salsas - International Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

They scam you by charging you extra "guacamole, adding sur charges on salsas when the label states different price. They laughed and said it was "an accident" yet happened more than once. Not only that but it's a partial refund not even the full price on an item they charge you with that you don't get. Tengan cuidado y miran sus recibos te cargan cosas que no compras y suben el precio a las salsas. read more

Carniceria came highly recommended by multiple friends, so we had to check this place out. It did not disappoint. They sell meats by the pound or made into favorite entrees. We chose few tacos and a chicken burrito. All were delicious and loaded with toppings. The salsa was little spicy for me. The meats were moist and flavorful but there were some ends that were little dry. They also had menudo we wanted to try but they were sold out. Will be back. Highly recommend. read more

Nice to have this new addition in the hood. Place is a Mexican butcher shop, eatery and small grocery. Surprised to see how large the butcher shop is with a great selection of meat, chicken and fish. Ordered a cheese quesadilla, barbocoa quesadilla, carne asada street tacos with pico and quacomole. Could not pass up the ribs, ordered a slab with a spicy dry rub. They finished it on an open flame grill. Every thing was very tasty. Place is clean and very busy. Prices were very reasonable. Will be back and worth five stars. read more

Very busy on the weekend which I thought was a good sign. The grocery part is well stocked and has all the things you might imagine in a ranch style market. The tacos were super good. I ordered a chili relleno buro which was not great, all breading no cheese, rice and beans got hard as the lard cooled, not a big fan of excess fat in things. Judging from the incredible busyness of the place, it's a much frequented and loved establishment. read more

Got all of this for under 15 bucks including tax. You pick the fish you want and the Fry it for you the Whole fish with beans and rice comes out to 11 bucks and the 320z beer is 3 bucks. Best bang for your buck, we also come here for Carne Asada. The service is great , just tell the guys what you want and they will cook it. The ambiance is just like a meat market so it gets busy, just be ready to order and your food should be out in like 15min on average. read more

Carne asada never disappoints. Delicious Staff is great. I always get the Salsas the are Fire!

Great food, but treat white people below other costumers......... I am married ti a Mexican man. They took everybody's orders before me because I'm white. I spoke Spanish. I think they hated that even more. I don't understand, but this is what happened and my daughter has experienced the same things. read more

Wow super tasty carne asada and chicken. The entire little market was very clean and organized. They had homemade looking tortillas in corn and flour. And a wide variety of meats. read more

My family and I decided to do a "Support local" dinner every Friday night. We have a lengthy list of places, and this happened to be one of them. This is a small Hispanic grocery store with a to-go ordering option for food! I decided to give it a try and we ordered the Carne asada burrito, pastor burrito, small Quesadilla, side of pastor, rice and beans with 2 sodas. Total was $26! Can't really beat that. The food was AMAZING! So rich with flavors, and fresh. My kids killed their dinner! We will def go back! I have this 4 stars because I wanted about 25-30 from ordering till my food was done. But, overall good experience. read more

Carnicerias are my FAV! And this one is amazing! It is awesome to see it at this location on cave creek and union hills!!! I'm so happy I accidentally stumbled upon this as I was going to Panda Express. I am so used to going to the ones in Tucson Az. I tried their carne tacos, barbacoa tacos, their shrimp, rice, and ceviche. All so yummy! The ceviche is not too spicy and really fresh. I plan to make this my go to spot!!!! read more

Carniceria Ponderosa - Devoured their ceviche in one day by myself! - International Grocery Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Yummmmm! You must try this little gem of a carneceria. You won't be disappointed. Great meats but also salsas and tortillas!

Their customer service is a lot to be desired, they haven't heard of "the customer is always right". I went and bought some tortillas the total came out to $5.98 I gave the cashier a $20 bill and she gives me 2 pennies back, I told her I gave you a $20 and she tells me no it was a $1 and a $5 so my $20 bill magically converted into 2 bills then she said let's check the video after a few minutes, they tell me they can't check the video, then she tells me that at the end of the night when they count the till if she has extra then they'll call me and give me my full change back... Really! I decided that they probably need that money more than I do, I'll keep my $20 tortillas (I'll eat them slowly) and now they lost a customer, and will never go there again... So if you go there pay with a card but remember purchases under $10 they'll charge you $0.50 extra. read more

Hice una orden a las 6 y supuestamente dejan de cocinar a la 7 y cuando llego ahí no tenían mi comida porque ya tenían apagadas la parrillas. Tuve que ir a otro lugar para darles de cenar a mis invitados. Tal vez cambiaron de personal porque antes atendían mucho mejor, creo que ya no voy a ir a ese lugar. read more

This is my fave place to buy meat! It's delicious. They even have amazing ceviche! Everyone's always friendly and helpful. It's always very clean too! Deff give it a try! read more

After waiting a few weeks for this new Carniceria to open around the corner, it is now in business. My wife and I tried the Carne asada tacos and in rising to food challenges also had some of the roasted pork intestines, not only was the food great but the attitudes of Carlos and Erica who helped us on their Grand Opening were terrific. With three tables in the market, we were able to sit down and enjoy our dinner right then and there. This shop also has a butcher on hand with a great selection of beef, pork, chicken, and fish. They also carry homemade salsa and guacamole. I plan on returning tomorrow to try the bauche (pork stomach) burrito. Don't worry, they also have plenty of carnitas, Carne asada, grilled chicken and other favorites for those who may not be as adventurous. read more

The market has a good variety of orifica, is well maintained, clean and the service was friendly.

This place is amazing! I bought some precooked Carne Asada and Carnitas for dinner tonight, some pork chops for dinner tomorrow night and fresh ground beef, ground while we shopped. Amazing service nice and friendly, definitely a local shop we need to support during these hard times. read more

I'm so happy another carniceria has opened up in Phoenix! I have to it twice and each time it has been great. Their marinade for their meat and chicken is so good! The store is very clean and the staff is super friendly. read more

I stop by the establishment yesterday and had a excellent experience with my burrito. Later in the day I purchased some food items like grilled chicken and was very disappointed because it was overly seasoned and I couldn't call the store because there was a NO number and it was an hour towards closing time so I went back the next day and explained what happened and how disappointed I was, but the girl who was the owner/manager laughed it off, and she wouldn't even offer me a credit or any type of discount. I really wasted my money here. I should call the health department. She said the employee was still in training. read more

Great Carne Asada special with variety of salsa options! Also, butcher shop for all meat options.

Finally tried this place this morning. First of all, it was super clean and I love the layout. I basically just ordered some of all the hot foods: carne, chicken, ribs, rice, etc. and ordered a couple of burritos. I haven't listed everything we got and we're still working through it but everything is so freaking good. I don't have enough superlatives. read more

Love this place for all me Mexican dishes. The meat selection is a abundant, fresh and they'll even put it in a marinade for you if you ask. The tortillas are nice and thin and don't fall apart when making a burrito. Their pico and guac are also fresh and best tasting, a must in any Mexican dish. Salsas are super spicy in my opinion, but that's the white in me, however, my wife is white too and loves it. Will never go to another place to experiment, especially the tortillas. read more

We love this place! We come every Tuesday for the special and it never disappoints! The staff is very friendly and the place is so welcoming. We love you guys read more

Definitely good food however depending on ur race they make it different. Very disappointed being a mixed Mexican American to see and hear the difference, food isn't made with spice, or any of the ingredients I ask, and they make rude comments about me as if I don't speak Spanish, if the food wasn't good it would be 0. read more

I'm from Southern California and have been looking for places to eat here in Phoenix. I just tried this place for carne asada about a month ago and have been a regular customer ever since. This is the Best!!! if you could give 10 stars I would give it. read more

I read abiout the 35th Ave & Bell location and thought I'd try it. The food is good, but the lady behind the counter was EXTREMELY rude, and the cashier was less than freindly. I had read a similar experience on Nextdoor, but passed it off as one person's opinion. I learned it was true, and I won't be going back. I believe the problem was that I didn't place my order in Spanish. I was tempted to remind her that 35th Ave & Bell Rd is a long ways from Mexico. read more

I love this place! The freshest quality of meats you can find in all of North Phoenix!

Loved everything about this market!!! So happy we found it!!! The selection was great. We shopped and got food to go. We will be back!!

We tried this place a week ago and it was amazing. The Carne Asada and Pastor worked out great for our taco night. The tortillas are delicious as well. Cute little store with plenty to offer inside. We will definitely add this to our favorite places list. It would be wise to order ahead if you're in a hurry. They can get pretty busy inside. read more

Finally! A real Carniceria in North Phoenix. The best little secret in the neighborhood. Extremely clean and wonderful staff ~ great prices, too! read more
