Francisco helped me this morning to getting my party ready and the customer service of making an accurate count of how much meat will be needed for my party was spot on. He asked if there was anything else that I may need to accommodate each and every one of my guest to making sure I had an awesome experience Thank you, Francisco. Best regards.

All I can say is l love this place! I've been coming here since they opened and not once have I been disappointed. I used to always get meat from Stater Bros or Costco since moving here in 2021, therefore my expectations weren't that high to begin but this little butcher shop definitely exceeded them. I've bought tomahawks, Dino ribs, porterhouses, tasajo strips, flank ribs, flap meat, ribeyes, chicken quarters, wings, shrimp and I've even tried their cream, queso fresco, sauces and chicharrones. Never once have I been disappointed and now after coming here I can't settle for anything less. I tired SB meats again once because they had "tasajo" and it was rubber, chewy and had no flavor. Meanwhile the tasajo at Don Peters is soft, buttery, and is delectable. I also prefer their unmarinated stuff because I love to use my own spices and stuff but their stuff isn't bad either. It's just a personal preference. I understand the prices aren't cheap and not everyone can afford to get meat here often but if you can budget it in, I recommend it because you get more flavor and better cuts than anywhere nearby. I will say they don't have much staff but you just need to be patient as that's the norm for small mom-and-pop shops. It's very clean and tidy too. I also appreciate the selection of marinades, seasoning and other stuff they offer like tortillas, tortillla chips, charcoal, beers, sodas, salsas, chips, jerky (the jalapeño one is great) and typical Mexican snacks like nuts, candies and candies sauces. Plus the little grocery items (cilantro, tomato, peppers, onion, garlic and limes; typical for any carne asada or grilling activity). They also have ice pops and sorbets which my kids love. Overall they offer great quality cuts, decent prices, large variety of items and a good selection of meats and meat types. The staff are kind and the older man always greets my kids and offers stickers to them. I always feel welcome and appreciated as a customer and I also like that they offer a small discount for points. I'm holding out on my discount to get myself a wagyu steak read more

I've been to Don Peter's Carniceria several times now, and they never disappoint. Most recently on Valentine's Day, they offered an incredible steak and lobster special for two -- and both were absolutely top quality. The steak was beautifully marbled and tender, and the lobster tails were fresh and delicious. For the quality you're getting, the prices are surprisingly low. I've also tried several of their marinated meats, along with their fresh salsas and guacamole, and everything has been consistently outstanding. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help with recommendations or cooking tips. This place is a true gem -- highly recommend! read more

I tried the prime carne asada and in my opinion it was not as tender and marinated as others I've tried. I felt Northgates ranchera is better and is a little less per pound and it too is prime. I felt the cut was a little thick and lacked marinade. Just my opinion.i did bbq this and I did 2 separate sessions thinking perhaps I overcooked the 1st time and did the 2nd round under less time and did not see a significant change or result. read more

They have the best customer service I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. Beside having a great product, the quality is outstanding. I had a small issue with my 1st order and they corrected it ASAP and shipped me replacements. I have bought a lot of meat online and I probably will not go to anyone else now. read more

Decided to try this new meat market in my neighborhood. It has only been open a couple of months. Cool automatic sliding doors at the entrance. It was very clean. They sell prime meat , sodas , snacks , Mexican cheese , salsa, charcoal and seafood . We tried the 6pieces of seasoned short ribs ( gal bi) and one ribeye . We spent about $50. Went home and broiled the short ribs for lunch! It was delicious! Thicker cut than I'm used to. Also, the Mexican style seasoning was really good. ( very different from my usual soy sauce & sugar) Broiled the ribeye steak the next day. It was pretty darn good too. I'll be coming back to get my prime meat ! read more

Its new, clean, and the carne asada was very good. My bf was making a tomahawk, but I really wanted carne asada. I have been wanting to try this place, so I came by. I ordered two pounds of meat, some salsa, guacamole ( too many onions for me ), and beans. The guy with the tomahawk loved and ate a lot of the carne asada. The salsa and beans were good. The red one was too hot for me, but the other one was delicious. The chips were bland. The service was great, though. Very friendly. read more

Service was awful not friendly at all. The meet is not high quality most of what I got was full of fat. Not only that but whatever paper he wrapped the meat with was full of blood all over it. I paid a lot of money for the food and it wasn't even the greatest. Please work on this. read more

Excellent choice of meats! Fresh and bountiful. I appreciate the expertise in helping me choose the right cut. I would give it a 5 star review if they would offer more items for their customers. I always have to go elsewhere to complete my bbq menu. read more

Second time at this location. Meat quality is very fresh and reasonably priced. Also bought the fresh guacamole in my opinion 4/5. My son loves the taste of their flank steak. Friendly service. I highly recommend this meat market. read more

So happy this meat market is in Whittier! Great service and options of meat, at a great price!

I'm a returning customer and I highly recommend Don Peter's. Their meat is high quality with a great taste!

I've said this before but I'm hard on my city! I really do expect nothing but the best especially from new business. They definitely provided friendly service, it's clean, smaller than expected. Nothing is priced along the wall. Maybe I didn't look good enough but I picked up 3 different items nothing priced! The wall consists of hard chicharron, chamoy goodies, chips, tortillas... They had about 5-6 different choices, ceviche, shrimp. It not much of a variety. It is priceyyyyyyy! Whew! To each their own! I know everything is pricey! But yikes! I ordered 3 lbs of costillas priced $7.99 lbs. My costillas were already in bag when the girl switch the price and said "oh prices are wrong!". My costillas were $14.99 a pound!! Um nope! I'm sorry but I need that priced honored. It didn't happen. The lady in front of me was also lost in the confusion!! I just walked out! I'm sure the meat is good but so is other markets in the area. Probably won't return. read more

OK this was my first time here, and I ordered the thin steaks. I know, I should have ordered something better. But I didn't want to spend that much on this day. I cooked it up on the grill and the meat tasted like soap or some kind of cleaner. I gave Don peters the benefit of the doubt. Today I cooked the rest of the meat to make philly cheese steaks and that taste was ever present. Had to toss it. I don't know if it was transfer from the slicer, or what, but a whole meal was ruined because of it. Very disappointed. read more

I love that this butcher shop has opened up near my neighborhood. The staff are super friendly and helpful! I have even asked for specific cuts of meat not in the case, and they got it ready when I needed it. And most of all, I feel that they value my patronage. The best quality and service in town! read more

Unfortunately today, I had the pleasure of meeting the owners son behind the counter and all I have to say is I feel bad. This young man cost this business a customer. Instead of being helpful he looked at me like I was begging for free stuff. Won't be going back at all, ever, even if the meat was free. Hire some quality people or your business won't make it, too bad to cuz it's a nice place but no good service. read more

Awesome every time. Good service, better food! My go to. Will be back! Stoked they started reward points.

Seriously delicious...the prices ... the taste ....the attentiveness of the staff...it's just such a great place. I went today to grab some Argentinian Chorizo and Meat...told the girls there how much we're enjoying their fresh cut meats and service. Totally recommend it! read more

First time visit at this new meat market. Family run, with the original location located in Rialto. This shop is spotless and looking pretty slick with a great mural inside. Customer service is on point and also has shelves loaded with items like seasonings, chicharron, charcoal, etc. As far as the meat, they only carry prime and wagyu grade beef which tastes great but your wallet will hate you afterwards. They do post specials and also carry chicken and some seafood items. I ordered the marinated diesmillo which was $10/lb and it was amazing. I'll be back, but I'll be hunting their specials. read more

Great selection, the marinated chicken and pork turned out amazing on the griddle. Steaks are great too. They have other stuff for the rest of your meal, saved me an additional trip to another store. The store is bright, clean, and smells good. Service is fast, never waited more than a few minutes for solid service. read more

Well I heard some good things about this place. Was able to try it this past weekend at a carnival here in Whittier. They had their own taco stand in the beer garden and the carnival had a taco stand also. Don Peters supplied the meat for carnival taco stand as well. We ordered tacos from the other taco stand, the Asada looked like ground beef, very bland on the flavor. A lot of fat pieces, along with other junk. Their own taco stand in the beer garden had better cut of meat. This bid a bad representation of their brand. Yea, I won't be visiting their meat market anytime soon. There was a lot of complaints about quality of meats that was served the whole weekend from what I understand. Maybe they do have good meats, I don't know! read more

Excellent Prime Tesoro...try it not marinated with your own spices! Very clean and great service! Some people might think it's expensive, but for Prime, I think it's reasonable! Vallarta wants $14 a lb for choice Ranchera.. This is WAY better! Try it read more

Was really hoping to love this new place. Bought some meat for Mother's Day. Place is clean, not a huge option of meats, prices are kinda hight but so is everywhere else. Quality of meat was decent but there was absolutely no flavor. I specifically asked if it was already "carne preparada" because it didn't look seasoned at all. Girl reassured me it was. Nope...lacked flavor and seasoning. read more

If you're looking for real flavor and hometown warmth, Don Peter's Carniceria is an absolutely the in Whittier! From the moment you walk in, the smell of freshly marinated meats --and you know you're in for something special. Their carne asada is next level: tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. But the tasajo cut is my favorite The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and they treat you like family, whether you're a regular or it's your first time. Highly recommend for your next family BBQ, or just a weeknight dinner. Whittier is lucky to have them! read more

My go to place for the best meat. Well seasoned, delicious. Great customer service and now they have a rewards program, got 10% of my last purchased. read more

Great Carniceria. Friendly and helpful butcher. Everything was spotless and very clean. We purchased meats here and they were delicious. Marveling on the meat were amazing. They also have fresh fish, mexican cheeses and fresh salsa. All kinds of tortillas and chips available. Definitely worth a visit read more

First time purchasing meat from this place and I will definitely be back. The service was excellent, and the quality of their meats was superb. I also tried their mango ceviche, and it was delicious. In addition, I purchased their green salsa, and it was very savory, and tasted homemade. read more

Great service and very clean. Will recommend coming here for your meat needs. Service was good and nice people.

As we walked in, we were greeted by the employee. She recommended some of the meats, but unfortunately, I don't really eat red meat. The countertop was nice and clean. We just walked in and checked it out. It seems like the meat quality was good but a little pricey for my pocket. read more

Love this place! Their steaks taste great. So far I've had a powerhouse and a ribeye bother were great. They also have oxtail which I love for broth. They also grind fresh meat there. 5 stars. read more

Good selection and prices. Fast service. Would be back for the rib eye and carne asada cuts.

Came here for some flap meat asada today I ordered marinated flap meat what I got is chewy bland tasting asada , something you'd expect to get at Ralph's or something. Won't be coming back anytime soon read more

Don Peter's is one of the few butcher shops in LA County where you can find authentic Argentinian vacio a hard to find cut that's a must for true asado lovers. They also serve up the best Argentinian chorizo I've ever had, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. The butcher is incredibly friendly and helpful, always making you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk in. read more

Awesome place, but please... your carne asada for tacos is super salty. I would love to continue buying but just too salty. My whole family agrees. read more

First time coming here and unfortunately probably last time. Spent about $65 in food for chicharrones, shrimp, and chicken wings. Everything had a weird taste to it and had to toss most of the food. Also, the bags were fragranced. My guess is someone made a mistake and ordered fragranced bags instead of non fragranced. The fragrance then leaked into the meat. That's a costly oversight. read more

Amazingly Awesome Customer Service, The butcher was extremely gracious and patient with my questions

Very Welcoming and prices are affordable. We tried the liver which was delectably delicious. read more

Meat was good the place is clean and the service is good. Will definitely have to come back

I was excited to try this place until I was waiting and I noticed that they have a lot of the mest pre-cutting in garbage bags I ended up not buying anything read more
