We found them about three months ago when we started getting concerned about what was really in our meat, and it has completely changed the way our family eats. We ended up buying half a cow from them, and the quality is just incredible. Nicole and her entire staff are truly amazing--so knowledgeable, attentive, and always willing to take the time to explain everything about the cuts and sourcing. You can tell they genuinely care about what they're providing. The beef is outstanding--hands down the best we've ever had. Their chicken is just as impressive, and even the hot dogs are fantastic. Honestly, we've tried just about everything they offer, and there hasn't been a single disappointment. At this point, our freezer is stocked exclusively with Brunk's Butchery meat, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for making it possible for us to truly enjoy beef, chicken, and pork again with confidence. We will never shop for meat anywhere else!

Keeping it and simple. I resent brought their whole Beef Rib Plate to smoked…read more I called ahead to see if they had any Beef Rib Plate in and luckily for they has 2 plate left. The cost was $22lb. When i got there was a little line, which was a good sign. They have plenty of good cuts of meat with great marbling. What i notice is there not much customer service. You definitely need to know what you want when they call you. As for my 7lb whole Beef Rib that i got is was fantastic. It has nice marbling. Overall, I was happy with the product that I got.

I found Valdivia Meat Market before the TikTok fame hit, and I keep coming back because everything…read moreis fresh and delicious. The meat market is connected to the restaurant (same ownership/management), and the meat quality never disappoints. My favorites to buy are the chorizo and the marinated chuck steaks. They also sell the restaurant's salsas in the market, along with totopos, corn and flour tortillas, seasonings, and more. It does get busy, but with the growing popularity (thanks, TikTok), that's expected. Bring a little patience if you visit on a busy day. The market itself is small with limited standing room, but the guys behind the counter know this and move quickly to get your order packed. The restaurant side is busy too, and it's gotten even more so since I first found it. I'm honestly glad I found this place. They have my favorite tacos in the IE. Before this, I'd still drive to OC for tacos because nothing here matched what I was looking for. Now this is my go-to spot. My favorite thing to order is the taco special: 3 tacos with a drink (agua fresca or canned soda), or 5 tacos with a drink. They offer a great variety of meats at no extra charge -- my favorites are al pastor and carne asada. They also have a solid lineup of Mexican food: birria, sopes, nachos, burritos. My daughter loves the burritos -- it's her backup spot when she can't make it to her favorite shop. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, with generous portions. Nothing sits around getting cold, because most food is made fresh as you order it -- which is exactly why there's a bit of a wait on busy days. While you wait, hit the salsa bar. The pickled jalapeños (I believe house-made) are excellent, and the pickled onion/habanero mix is a must-try if you like spice. I recommend most of the menu -- you really can't go wrong. The restaurant and restroom are both very clean. Parking can be a little tricky on busy days but usually clears up quickly. Prices run a bit higher than other spots, but it's worth it.

El día que fui a comprar (desde Buena Park) valió la pena por que mis padres les encantó toda la carne que compré. Les recomendó la carne RANCHERA, TASAJO, y las COSTILLAS (todo preparado/sasonado) I got my meat from here a month ago and when I tell you it's delicious, it taste fresh from the cow, no fridge taste like how you would normally get from the supermarket. I'm picky with my red meats, and they had it seasoned and unseasoned. I bought 150 worth I think and it was so worth the price. I got the meats above that are in CAPS. The tasajo is so tender and the flavor!!!!!!!

I live in West LA and drive out to take some back home to grill up! Super worth the drive, especially since chorizo that is actually flavorful and made with good meat and not all greasy and oily. Service is very friendly and I love supporting a small locally owned business. Very casual and friendly! Please give them a chance so they can stay open and have more locations :)

The meat quality and the cleanliness of the store deserve 5 stars--no question…read more But the customer service? Absolutely trash. Honestly, it felt straight-up racist. My husband bought 10 lbs of meat from another location for our taco Sunday and we loved it, so we came back--this time to this location since it's closer to home. We ordered chicken for tacos and wanted to try some wings too. I asked for 6 wings... and the worker literally laughed at me. Then he called his coworker over, said something in Spanish, and just walked away like we weren't worth his time. What exactly is wrong with ordering 6 big wings? We are a small family... Do I need to drop $100 every visit just to be treated with basic respect? Why do i wanna get so much food then waste it if i cant finish? I was pissed, but I didn't want to make a scene, so we paid and left. But yeah--definitely not coming back.

I've been coming to La Carniceria for a few months now and these are some of the best meats I've…read moreever tasted. I love coming on Taco Tuesday's as they have their taco meats for $1.00 off. I always get Al Pastor and Pollo Preparada. I have tried the carne Picada a few times but find it to be tough to eat with extra fat, which isn't found in their other taco meats. They have other specials on their meats M-Th and it's different each day. My favorite has to be the Prime Rib Eye steak. The most flavorful and buttery steak ever, and ranges about $20 per steak, depending on thickness. I have also tried their Asada (which is good) and Tesajo. The first few times I tried their Tesajo it was tender and delicious. The last few times it has been tough and hard to chew. I'm not sure what has changed with this meat. They also have a small selection of cheeses, salsas, tortillas and larger selection of spices/rubs. I recently bought two Reserva Premium blends and I'm enjoying them. My favorite salsa is their Verde and they have minimal ingredients added with great flavor, which is excellent! Customer service varies. Not sure if Annabelle still works here but she was always so friendly and helpful. The butchers are always very helpful, but many times the ladies checking you out won't even look at you and aren't very inviting. I'm still getting good products so it's just something worth mentioning. Lastly, if you go on any holiday you can expect a line out the door. My recommendation is go the day before, if possible, or you can even call in your order. Enjoy!

I originally placed my order and received my meat promptly. However, my order was missing a few items and they said they'd get it to me shortly. I also quickly realized that the ground beef was extremely course - leading to fat pools in a pan and flareups on the stove. So I reached out and they said they'd get that squared away too. Two months later, i am still missing meat and I haven't heard from them in weeks. I wish I could get some sort of refund but I paid by check. I will say that the quality of the beef itself is solid.

I really wanted to like 5 Bar We signed up for promo emails…read moreso we could get an idea of what it would be like to order/receive/taste ect We've been using another meat subscription company out of Idaho but wanted to try 5 bar since they're local to us We ordered an "August Box" after seeing a promo for $100 off We opted to pick up in person since we live down the street, we received individually packaged/frozen short ribs, steaks, ground beef and a brisket I was confused when I saw the processing date, we picked up on 8/10 but the date on most of the meat was 8/13, I figured maybe they post dated it for shipping orders, later I saw a September date and realized all the meat was processed in 2024 All the meet received was around a year old No where on the website/promo did it mentioned a time frame so not entirely their fault but the other subs meat is only about a month old when we receive it (and this is bc there's a 21 day aging process) Idk if it's bc it's grass fed/finished or freezer burn but this meat just tastes different, not bad but different The other issue is the cuts don't have consistency so it's hard to cook things together I'm glad we gave them a shot and wish them the best but won't be buying again
