    Dan Q.

    I'm always wary of places that have signs that say 'Authentic Mexican Food', but fortunately my curiosity got me in the door. Carniceria El Novillo is a market, but in the back they have a food area. They have these combos and on some days moles. I have had the opportunity to try two things so far. [sopes] The sopes are like thick small tortillas (think of an english muffin). I ordered it with chicken and what they do is deep fry the sopes on one side, then put fresh chicken, onion, and cheese on top. [mole] Not every day do I have the chance to get a mole and it was super delicious. The chicken legs were cooked in a mole sauce in advance, served with rice, beans, and freshly roasted tortillas (from el ranchito apparently). [prices] A combo is about $8. [overall] This place is a complete dive, but the food is so delicious. Everything is salted just enough with really affordable prices.

    I am a big fan of their Burritos (Asada & Chicken) and I can honestly say that these Burritos are the best in town.

    I really dig this place. I'm pretty fat and trying to be less fat, and the quality of their meat is…read morevery good. Is it cheap? I'd argue no. But for $20, I can get a two-meat plate with high quality white meat chicken + beef + fried egg, and feel satiated until late afternoon (might be the peptides talking tho, who knows ;) ). I always call it in, and it's always ready on time. I always get the plate combo (beef + chicken breast), with kale and cabbage salad. Rice is included. I think their mac salad is good, but not worth the upcharge. I do suggest getting extra sauce on the side, as usually the one cup they give isn't enough based on the portion. I also love ordering ahead and just grab n go. This and Urban Grill are both solid options.

They have plenty of public parking and if that gets packed you can park for free at the source right across and walk over. As soon as we entered we were greeted with a warm welcome and a helpful staff, as it was our first time. Our Meal came out quick, and we ordered the Wagyu Beef Plate with Kale salad, which was 16.99. It was a bit on the high end but once you took a bite out of it you'd understand why! We decided to dine in and everything was clean and organized. There is comfy indoor seating for a group of 4 at each table. In addition to the cooked food menu, they offer premium butchered meat. We will definitely be back for some lunch along with a Wagyu Bundle to take home!

I can honestly say I've never been disappointed. One of our favorite purchases was a prime rib we pre-ordered for Christmas dinner. It was mouthwatering and perfectly seasoned, and it came beautifully wrapped and ready to go. All I had to do was pop it in the oven, which made hosting so much easier. Being able to pre-order prime rib and other cuts for holiday meals or dinner gatherings is such a huge convenience. Another one of our absolute favorites is their burgers. They are so delicious and beautifully mixed with a prime selection of meats -- you can truly taste the quality in every bite. They are always juicy, flavorful, and perfect for grilling. They also make deli sandwiches that are so good and full of flavor! Everything is made with care, and you can really tell they take pride in what they offer. On top of all that, their customer service is outstanding. The staff is always friendly, fast, and extremely helpful. They truly go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality meat, incredible prepared foods, and exceptional service!

All the meats were delicious and marinated well. Service was quick, efficient, and nice. The host was nice enough to hold the table for us. Everyone has to be present in order to be seated. They were poppin' during dinner time, so plan accordingly. They'll still have a time limit of 1.5 hours. Don't forget desserts at the end! They didn't have cones this time; only cups.

I think there was a limit of 2 orders pp. The buffet bar was included in all tiers. Meats were ordered thru the tablet. I have been here twice now. The first time, the short ribs were more tender. I enjoyed the buffet options. They have fried veggies tempura, soup, cold noodles, assortments of sour pickles veggies, rice papers, mash potatoes, fried rice, japchae, ice cream, and etc. The downside...corn cheese, soft drinks, and etc were not included. Could order thru the tablet. Service was great both time. 2nd time was better. The server came back to change our grill 3 times. Thank you for that. She also cleaned out the finished plates. Meats came out fairly quickly after each order. The only thing I m not too happy about was the service fee over tipping. On the bill, there was a 10% service charge to help cover the staffs' wages?? It was nice to see that no tipping was required, but then it also stated that the 10% service fee was not considered a gratuity. Hmm...why are we expected to help with employee's paycheck? And if we don't give a tip because no tipping required, then we are considered horrible people ? I dunno if there were some agreements with owner and staffs to get paid more with the 10% service charge instead of getting tips...anyways, if I m already needing to help pay for wages then is tipping really necessary? Is like I am giving double to the servers...
