This review is only for the meat market section…read more I've been coming here for literally decades, although it had been a while since my last visit. In the past, this was the place to go if you wanted that old-school butcher shop experience and some of the best carne asada around. Unfortunately, my visit yesterday was disappointing. The meat selection seemed mediocre compared to what I remember. The carne asada was cut into small pieces (around 6 inches across) and was already pre-marinated. Years ago, the cuts were much larger, making them easier to grill and far more visually appealing. Back then, if you wanted it marinated, they would do it fresh for about $1 more per pound. That level of service made a difference. The young man behind the counter also gave me the impression that he really didn't care about my concerns, which only added to the disappointment. After cooking it, the carne asada just wasn't the same. It seemed dry and lacked the flavor and quality I had always associated with this market. I'm willing to give them one more chance in case this was just an off day. But if my next experience is the same, it will unfortunately be my last visit.

He's giving me his childish version of evil eye. I don't appreciate some paranoid butcher treating me like a criminal because of a quick photo session OUTSIDE the store. At least he succeeded at showing how unprofessional and disrespectful he is. It's pointless to shop at a store where I'm treated like crap. I'll buy my meat elsewhere. Indeed, the best meat shop in this neighborhood is The Meatery at 6160 Fairmont Ave.

Siesel's Meats is the original location if you love going to Iowa Farms in Mission Valley. These…read moretwo locations will be our go to for getting high quality butchered meats. We typically go to Iowa Farms since it's close to us and we're familiar with the location. We love getting the potato salad and bbq baked beans (prepackaged) sides there when we stop in, but if you're not early on the weekend, they usually run out. So we decided since we'd be in the Bay Park area, we'll check out the original location, Siesel's. Glad we did! I wanted to make a slow cooker brisket one weekend, so it was perfect. Siesel's is a bit larger than Iowa Farms and feels a bit more open. Same great cow awaiting outside the store. But they have a whole deli counter with all the sides plus more! They didn't have any ready made prepackaged bbq baked beans, it was better, made fresh daily and we were able to get as much as we wanted at the deli counter. They also have several different Siesel's signature potato salads and pasta salads that aren't offered prepackaged at Iowa farms, which I absolutely love! My favs are the Asiago pasta and deviled egg potato salad. We also decided to try their Tri-tip sandwich made to order at the deli and it was delicious! Fluffy bun piled high with Tri-tip covered in bbq sauce and have the option to add cheese and anything else. Love it! Staff is always very helpful. Parking lot can get full on the weekends, and they can run out of the pre-prepared meats in the front counter, but make sure to ask if there's any more in the back or they may be able to prepare some for you! We'll definitely be back! Until next time! :) Simply the best! Series: 17 2026: 34

This place is known for serving quality meat, I think it's better to let the meat part shine instead of allowing other flavors to stand out. Anyhow, pastrami had good flavor and good texture. I like how they made it a little crisp. Meat alone is good enough for 5 stars.

The eccentric, high-energy decor and low-key atmosphere make it a favorite, but the bar service takes it over the top. If you go, ask for Julian--he is genuinely fantastic! Friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and super welcoming. I ordered a White Negroni , and it was perfection--crisp, impeccably balanced, and easily one of the best drinks I've had in a long time. You can tell Julian takes real care in dialing in the recipe and technique. Whether you're swinging by for a late afternoon drink, grabbing a prosciutto sandwich, or settling in for a full cocktail night, this place delivers. Huge shoutout to Julian for making the experience unforgettable--I'll definitely be back soon!

They still have a happy hour which I loved. Not huge discounts but a couple bucks off their already reasonable prices. We got negronis, Rome with a view, baby spro shooter and the tiny filthy martini off the happy hour menu. Also got the carajillo old fashioned off the regular menu. Everything tasted delicious and was well made. Standout was the spro shooter though. It literally tastes like coffee ice cream. The coconut foam on top is fire.
