Culebra Meat Market is one of my favorite places when I'm planning a carne asada with the cuates. Is it the absolute highest-end cut of meat in town? No. But that's not the point. The value is fantastic, and the meat is perfect for throwing on the grill, cracking open a few chelas, and spending the afternoon with friends and family. Beyond the meat, their chicharrones are excellent, the carnitas are delicious, and the tortillas are always a must-buy. Half the time I go in for one thing and leave with a basket full of food I wasn't planning on buying. One thing I especially love is that they carry a lot of the brands, snacks, and Mexican products that are hard to find elsewhere. There are certain things that instantly remind me of home, and Culebra Meat Market seems to stock all of them. My only wish is that they sold liquor and not just beer. But hey, beggars can't be choosers. Great prices, great selection, and a place that feels like it understands its customers. Five stars. read more

We come here often for authentic prepared food such as; carnitas and refried beans, pico de gallo, salsas, guacamole etc..for a quick meal. We also come here for meat to grill that is already seasoned. They have a lot of selection and great value! Service is good and ambiance is very casual and friendly. They also have a small bakery section in the back wort delicious artisan bread and sweets. read more

Barbacoa! Avocado! Fresh salsa! Freshly made tortillas right in front of you! And pork chicharrons! Everything was delish!!!

We love coming just to grab a couple tacos on the weekends. It's so convenient right outside our neighborhood. read more

If you're not Hispanic I do not recommend going here at all!! I went here a total of 3 times. I prefer getting my meat from a meat market versus big box stores for freshness and cost. The first 2 times I went were ok. Hardly anyone speaks English but I'm ok as long as I'm treated with dignity and respect as I will be respectful at all times. This last time was totally different. I am a black woman and when I tell you I was stared down like I committed a crime against humanity for walking in to their establishment!! I mean that! The entire experience was very uncomfortable. Laughing pointing fingers speaking to me in Spanish then laughing when I couldn't understand. And to top it all the menudo was disgusting this time! Very watered down and flavorless. Just don't even go if you're not Hispanic you're not welcome! read more

Love this market but there is cashier short lady with glasses she is really rude. I always come here the other girls are really friendly.

On Cinco de Mayo, I ordered breakfast tacos to go as soon as I walked in. The ladies that took my order were very kind so early in the morning, I was there right when the store opened. While I waited for my tacos to be made (cooked to order right in front of you!) I decided to shop the Pan Dulce wall. I filled a pastry box to the brim, there was such a huge selection and I didn't want to miss out on anything. Once my food was ready, I went to the checkout counter and I was surprised by the low cost of the pastries! I took the pan Dulce box to my office and everyone complimented the pastries. I will definitely be coming back, I really enjoy the authenticity of this store! read more

Excellent service, products, and support has been by experience every time I patron this establishment.

Went in for a pound of barbacoa on a Sunday morning, there was a line to order (that's a good thing.) Barbacoa is sold until they sell out. They offer barbacoa specials with everything made fresh! Salsa and tortillas. Don't forget to grab your pan dulce!!! I grew up in a Hispanic household and to know that this carniceria is right down the street from us makes me feel like I'm picking up food from my Mom/Tia's house. Definitely recommend, it may not be everyone's cup of tea but good barbacoa is hard to find in the Stone Oak area. read more

Culebra Meat Market - Barbacoa, green salsa, menudo and flour tortillas. - Grocery Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I understand that at this difficult time for getting employees in retail as consumers we need to be more accommodating. However, on today's visit I picked what I perceived to be about 1/2 pound of carnitas. At the register the cashier charge was for more than a pound. I paid but felt uncomfortable with the charge $10.32 so before leaving the store I went back to have the purchase re-weighed. Long story short, the senior cashier got involved and the true weight was less than 1/2 pound and I paid $4 and change. All that is fine and ended well. What was wrong was the attitude of the first cashier (the receipt says Catalina) as her demeanor was one of bother for me claiming. As I was leaving, as a courtesy I apologized. She gave me my change and brushed me off without even a thank you or an acknowledgement of fault or acceptance of my apology. I write so management will take note to train the newbies for this situation. All the other employees in this establishment are top notch courteous and friendly. Catalina needs an early wake up call. I gave 3 stars in the hope that management takes notice, otherwise I'd give 5 stars under normal circumstances. read more

All food that they sell amazing and people are very helpful the meat , pastries, tamales, and service wonderfull

Barbacoa is "de cachete" (cheek) and not other cheaper, less flavorful cuts. Flour tortillas are made in store and taste good. If you order eggs be very clear as to the dones you want otherwise they will serve you overcooked rubbery eggs. Pan dulce is mostly good or very good. Tamales are a 3 out of 5 at best. Chicharones carnudos (crispy pork belly) is very good. Felipe read more

Such a great little place! We just moved to the area and we're excited to have a market within walking distance. Everyone is very friendly including the customers. The prices are reasonable and they have a huge selection. There is a little area where you can purchase made in store carnitas, tamales, menudo etc. we ordered a family meal for $15 and it included barbacoa, refried beans, corn tortillas, soda and salsa. Everything was delicious but I have to say- I'm a sucker for fresh flour tortillas. They didn't disappoint! Delish!!! The bonus for us is that we finally found good chips! Homemade tortilla chips like we used to find in El Paso, San Diego and Sacramento. We also purchased a few marinated meats and will try them within the week. I can't imagine they will taste anything less than fabulous but I'll let ya know if they surprise me. read more

I'm here now! Just ate two tacos: carne asada and Al pastor with diced onion on fresh flour tortillas. She made it on the grill behind the bar with stools. So delicious! Very clean little eatery and grocery here. I would highly recommend, and I will always come back here. :) read more

Culebra Meat Market - Menu - Grocery Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We have been searching for an alternative to the local grocery stores for meats due to the extremely high prices they are getting. I think we may have found it. The meat prices here were very competitive. There was a good selection too. We buy a considerable amount of hamburger meat and this was very good and priced well below the other places. The wait and see was the flavor. After tasting a batch of burgers I would say this will be our new meat supplier. There are other things here also i.e. produce that may compete with the other places also. give them a try and see how it works for you. read more

I so appreciate the selection and the kindness of the butchers and cashiers - I love the meat - it is always so fresh!!

The prices are good. The Chicken you can't beat. They also have marinated options which I like. They also have a lot of Mexican candy and other things. read more

They are always so nice. Its so nice and clean inside. Always busy too. I work up the road from them. We go over on the weekends to get tacos for the whole crew, or just to get snacks and drinks we don't have. Maybe one day soon I will come to buy other things then just the usual tacos. read more

After having lunch next door we stopped in to check it out. I found the store to be clean, well stocked and full of interesting food items to tantalize your recipes. The meat market was very clean and the butcher was very helpful. Their bakery items are delicious. Definitely a market I'll revisit. read more

just called and asked to be transferred to the meat spot. i female at the front told me that it would take 30 minutes. im like whattt are you kidding me? not a good service here. read more

Quick Mexican food choices. Like that it's small. I'm in and out in a jiffy. Found the pork ears and pig belly with skin that's hard to find in the San Antonio area. read more

Second time that I have purchased parasar meat for it to be spoiled. Meat was sour smelling and grey in color. Get your quality control in check. I will not purchase meat here again. read more

Disgusting flies in the bakery sections. Flying in the enclosed cases of cookies cupcakes, donuts. It makes you wonder what other pests insects are in there crawling around the bakery goods. I did not stay to inspect but gross! Told someone about the flies and the girl said she Would get to it. She did not seem to care. Maybe it happens all the time. I would not buy any bakery stuff from here. Yuck! Hopefully no one gets sick! read more

They have a big selection of Hispanic food even if the location is small. Definitely coming back

Was greeted as soon as I walked in. Was super excited I found a Hispanic marketa close to my house. I will definitely come back. They have chicharon con carne which my husband loves in his beans. read more

Very Pricey. Full pigs available. Great hot tortillas made in house and fresh tamales. Service is great.

I love this place!!! All the meat is fresh, and there is just about everything you can think of. I usually buy one of combination meat packs that gives me a great variety for my BBQ needs. The lines are never long, and the staff is always friendly and extremely helpful. read more

Store is a bit small and hidden behind the auto zone. This is the only Culebra Location I've seen where they make their flour tortillas fresh. So far the best culebra market in San Antonio. I don't buy any produce due to HEB being cheaper and more variety. I do however buy Mexican creams and cheeses that HEB doesn't carry. Their Barbacoa is pretty good and the tamales as well if your gonna compare it to other Places in town. Their Tripas are decent as well. read more

I got the most degrading treatment and worst service ever from the butcher today at Culebra Meat Market on Encino, in San Antonio TX. Instead of attending to me this "butcher" just walked off!!! The worst thing was that the other "butchers" just stood by and did not help either. When I asked to speak with someone in authority, they had none on site!!!! I would definitely not patronize this place if I were you. read more

Clean, nice, great selection of meat and fresh produce. The only place this side of town I could find Zote. We bought tamales and chicarrones and they were delicious. Meat prices are excellent. Spoke to the butcher and he was very nice and helpful. I'm going to shop here before I go to HEB from now on. read more

I heart Culebra Meat Market so much. They have delicious bean, cheese, and jalapeno tamales. I love their flour tortillas. The staff so super friendly, and they have the feel of a small neighborhood market. read more

The store is nice but I while I was standing in line to checkout I asked the girl making tortillas if they carried Epazote and she basically threw a hissy fit and said idk as if to tell me to go look myself. But the problem is she just had to simply tell me whether or not they carried it. I immediately just told her nevermind and let her be because I had no idea what I did to piss her off. They other employees I interacted with were kind but I don't think I'll be going back. It's a shame because I finally found a place to buy Mexican herbs that don't cost an arm and a leg in international shipping online. read more

This place was supposed to have some of the best tamales but I was really disappointed. The pork tamales had a strange after taste. The chicken were mediocre. Bean tamales were not good either. Back to Tellez it is. read more

Tamales on the north side! Excellent to have this much needed market on the far north side. Pork tamales, barbarcoa and freshly made tortillas are awesome!!!! They also have a good selection of pan dulce. I always have excellent customer service each time I go. No complaints. read more
