    This is fairly a new establishment. Clean modern decor. Order at the counter and there's a few tables for seatings-it's mainly grab and go. They offer tacos, side dishes, sauces, and sandwiches, as well as fresh meat if you want to purchase and cook at home. I ordered the birrira tacos and wagyu sandwich (it was highly recommended-pastrami?). The taco was amazing...one of my favourite; however the sandwich is definitely a miss. There was too much grilled veggies and not enough meat; felt that it was chopped and barely any. For the price, I would reconsider going back to this place-even for the tacos.

    If you're going to do deli in Newport Beach, you might as well do a wagyu deli! This tiny place is packed with many sandwiches and other tasty options. We ordered the smoked pastrami, wagyu, and a roast beef sandwich, and they both came up pretty quickly. The flavor of both was unique, and the sandwiches themselves used very thick/tall bread. I'm less-much on the bread; it's so thick that it draws away from the overall sandwich, meat, and fixings themselves. These are some pricey sandwiches, but they are quite flavorful, and you do get a lot; we ended up taking half of each back home. Service is friendly and quick, and they have a super interesting selection of high-end meats in their deli case, although confusingly some are not price-marked (perhaps on purpose; if you have to ask!). A unique and high-quality sandwich stop.

    Updating to three stars for me today because the place is pretty small - 3 small tables and a meat counter. That's not the problem, my problem is they allowed a dog to be carried in by a patron all the way up to the meat counter. Some of the customers had a look (including me), while others didn't seem to notice. It is a health code violation to allow animals into an eating establishment unless they are service animals. This dog didn't appear to be a service animal because it was not wearing any of the identifications service animals would normally have either.

    I've always wanted to try Wagyu but never had before, so when we found Carniceria Wagyu in the Costa Mesa/Newport Beach area, we had to check it out. It's a small butcher shop where you can buy the meat raw to grill at home or ask them to cook it for you right there at no extra charge, which is awesome. There's a few tables inside, but it's more of a casual, takeout-style spot, not a full sit-down restaurant, which makes it way more affordable for what you're getting. We ordered both the Australian Wagyu and the Japanese Wagyu. The Japanese Wagyu was super buttery and rich. The first bite was incredible, it literally melts in your mouth, but after a few bites it gets a little heavy. The Australian Wagyu had more of that grilled flavor and a bit more lean meat, so it was easier to eat more of it. I think I liked that one a bit better. They also give you rice on the side and it was actually really good. Perfectly cooked, not mushy, and had great flavor, almost like they cooked it in broth. Overall, I loved this place. The meat quality was amazing and while it's not cheap, around $100 for the plate, it's still a lot more affordable than what you'd pay at a fancy restaurant for the same thing. Totally worth it and I'd definitely come back.

    Wagyu Birria Fries

    We had heard about La Carnieceria Wagyu and decided to stop for dinner this past weekend. What an absolutely incredible spot! The Wagyu tacos, Wagyu birria fries, and the Wagyu quesadilla were all phenomenally flavorful, tender, and packed with high-quality meat. You can really taste the premium quality. The restaurant was very clean, Marlene was super friendly and helpful, Angel, the chef came out to make sure everything was perfect. I mean, who does that!! Easily a 5-star experience, We will definitely be back!

    Half of the Wagyu Pattie Melt
    Theresa A.

    Kind customer service! I ordered as takeout and I am giving a three star because I thought the food was okay. It's pricey because of the wagyu meat, which is not an issue for me. I ordered the patty melt. Which was okay. The meat to bread ratio isn't equal even thought it's a 6 oz patty. It's greasy and sweet, the bread was poorly toasted. I ordered fries- which is steak fries (one of my favorite style). It's well seasoned however they clearly made the fries at least 30 mins before because it was not hot. Barely warm. I took a bite of the fries before leaving out the door. I also ordered a 1/2 Philly cheesesteak and it was underwhelming. Not much steak meat, but more pastrami and peppers in the sub. And they put my cheese sauce on the side which I was confused. I def wouldn't order that again. Also sandwhiches come with chips and a can drink. I learned about this place through a foodie IG and he raved about it. But idk if I am that impressed. I may try the place again and eat at the location and see if it was a different experience.

    Tasago Steak and Philly Cheese Steak
    Janan M.

    Some of the best steaks you can get! My favorite is the tasago and prime steak sandwich. If you're in the area I would definitely recommend. Fresh, clean, and they have amazing customer service.

    Wagyu Burger
    Rami B.

    Phenomenal selection of meats, cooked fresh to order. Very filling and full of flavor. You can't come here and not the try the famous pastrami sandwich, either by itself or the burger. Service was great but the restaurant is pretty small. Everything is cooked fresh to order, and it's well worth th wait. I especially loved the prime rib - very juicy and tender.

    Wagyu Cheese Burger, Wagyu Quesadilla, and Horchata
    Mary Anne W.

    Friendly staff, the hubby and I ate outside since the inside tables were full. We came during lunch time, and this place does get busy during lunch. They did bring our food to our table, which was nice of them. My husband order e the Wagyu burger/fries and I ordered the Wagyu quesadilla. The quesadilla had huge portions, very favorable and the Wagyu was amazing! The horchata drink was good, not overly sweet like others.

    Philly Cheesesteak
    Anthony R.

    La Carniceria is a growing staple for my household. I didn't think a Philly cheesesteak could surprise me anymore--until this one. The Wagyu Philly cheesesteak takes everything you love about the classic and turns the volume all the way up. The beef is the star: thinly sliced Wagyu, impossibly tender, with a rich, buttery flavor that melts into the grill. Each bite is juicy without being greasy, striking that rare balance between indulgent and refined. The cheese blankets the steak perfectly, creamy and savory, seeping into every fold of meat and soaking into the toasted roll. Speaking of the roll--it's soft on the inside with just enough crisp on the outside to hold everything together, even as the juices run free. This isn't just a cheesesteak; it's an elevated comfort food experience. Familiar, satisfying, and undeniably luxurious, the Wagyu Philly cheesesteak proves that even the most iconic dishes can still find new ways to impress.

    Smoked Wagyu Pastrami Burger
    Ann C.

    The BF surprised me with the deliciousness from La Carniceria Wagyu. My first bite was of the Prime Steak Sandwich with cheese sauce on the side. I knew from the first bite that we had to go back to try other items, it was sooooo good. My second bite was Smoked Wagyu Pastrami Burger. The pastrami was and burger was smoky and juicy. My last bite was the Wagyu Steak Quesadilla and it was exceptional with their 2 sauces. Everything was so good... My boyfriend even bought extra Wagyu beef patties to make burgers at home. They are a small butcher shop/restaurant and the service was awesome. I Wish they were closer to LA but they are definitely worth the drive!!

    Wagyu Grilled Cheese
    Kimberly S.

    I've been wanting to try this places for months after stumbling upon a video on instagram. My cousin was visiting from Switzerland and I took this as a chance to finally go. I got the Grilled Cheese sandwich and they got chicken tacos I think. But the grilled cheese was amazing. It also had Wagyu Pastrami in it and it had the best flavors. The bread was nicely toasted with what I assume is butter. Overall delicious sandwich! I want to try the other ones. They all sound good

I told him I was happy to pay, and he responded by telling me to "fuck off." I was shocked and asked if he had really just said that, and he doubled down and told me to get going. I've been a regular customer for years, but after being treated like that by the owner, I won't be back.

The lot was full, and the line stretched past the front patio and onto the sidewalk. We ended up parking a couple of blocks away and walking over. Despite the long line, it moved at a reasonable pace. One thing that helped was being able to grab drinks from the bar while we waited. They have a great selection of beers and seltzers, and it looked like a lot of people were picking up to-go orders as well. For our meal, we ordered the 4-6 person platter, which included beef cheek, tri-tip, ribs, sausage, chicken, pulled pork, six sides, cornbread, rolls, and pickles. We also added the 5-cheese mac and cheese. Everything was flavorful and there was more than enough food for our group. The sides were excellent. We tried the pit beans, pee wee potato salad, carne con chile, farro salad, and wild rice salad. My favorite was the warm potato salad with mustard, brown butter, capers, and dill...it was unique and absolutely delicious. The restaurant offers lots of seating with outdoor dining areas both in the front and back. They also have a private room with windows overlooking the main dining room. During our visit, it was hosting a private party of about 20 people. The kids loved their root beer floats, and by the end of the meal we were way too full to even consider dessert. That's definitely something we'll have to come back and try next time. Overall, the food was worth the wait, the atmosphere was lively, the world cup was playing on the tvs and even on one of the busiest days of the year the staff kept things moving smoothly. We'll definitely be back.

Pozole wasn't terrible, but just like my burrita, it was a bit on the bland side. Maybe my palate skews too heavily towards salty, but I felt like a little salt here and there would've really improved the flavors in everything we ordered. Overall the quality/freshness was there!
