    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.

    The Meat Company is a butcher in Los Alamitos that's next door to Original Fish Company and Polly's…read morePies. They have high-quality cuts of meats and a small, but nicely curated shop with delicious snacks and pantry staples. I like to come here for their picanha, priced at $19.99 a lb. Usually $20 allows me to walk out the door with two modestly sized steaks that become spectacular when they're finished on my stainless-steel pan at home. I also like their frozen meatballs in their freezer, which adds some really nice savory flavors to my spaghetti and meatballs. They have really high end cuts of meat like wagyu and Japanese A5 meats here; however, that's not really what I come looking for. Their pantry is nicely stocked with quality ingredients. It's hard to not pass up their delicious pork rinds (from 4505 or Southern Recipe) or Mutti marinaras. And if I don't feel like cooking, I can come for lunch in order to walk away with a sandwich that they can make for me. Overall, this is a small shop, that's thoughtfully stocked with some really high-quality ingredients for me to make a nice dinner at home!
