We've been coming to this carnicería for a long time and have always had good experiences, which is…read morewhy this was so disappointing. We recently bought meat expecting the same quality we've always received, but this time it was noticeably lower quality than usual. Since this is on 4th of July my theory is they purchased cheaper meat due to the high demand. My guests ask where I get this meat so they will never buy from here. One of the reasons we've continued to support this business is because they normally have high standards, so this experience was unexpected. We hope this was just a one-time mistake and that they go back to the quality that made us loyal customers in the first place. We wanted to share our experience because consistency is important, especially when customers have trusted your business for years.

Updating my review - May 2021…read more My family and I wanted to get some good quality galbi for Mother's Day, and Ace Meat delivered! Just a few weeks prior, I had purchased galbi from a Korean grocery store (Hannam Chain in Buena Park) and it was NOT GOOD. There was barely any marinade and the meat was thick/tough. I called Ace a few days prior to place the order. The lady explained the price and the quality of the meat they use. Galbi is $13.99 a pound here (Roughly 4 slabs per pound), and it was very much worth the price. The cost at local Korean grocery stores are about 10.99 or 11.99 a pound. I wasn't sure if we had ordered enough, so I purchased some extra galbi at H-Mart (11.99 a pound). My husband and FIL were grilling the meat and did a taste test on both meats. They both agreed that the meat from Ace was way better than H-Mart. The rest of the group ended up noticing a difference as well. The meat at Ace was very tender and flavored very well. Upon pick-up of the meat, the lady explained how she marinated the meat, and she really puts so much effort to make sure she gave us the best quality. I will be back again to order more meats in the future.

The quality of their meat is…read moreconsistently excellent, and their prepared carne asada, pollo asado, and costillas are the reason we keep coming back. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and ready for the grill, which makes entertaining family and friends so much easier. This weekend we had family visiting from out of state, and one thing they always say they miss is the authentic Mexican flavors. As soon as the meat hit the grill, everyone gathered around. The aroma alone had people asking when dinner would be ready, and after the first bite, there wasn't much talking just people going back for seconds. What really stands out about Mr. Meats is the consistency. Every visit, the prepared meats are fresh, high quality, and cook up tender and juicy with incredible flavor. You can tell they care about what they're selling, and it shows in the final product. Whether you're planning a family BBQ, a birthday, or just a relaxing Sunday cookout, Mr. Meats is a place I can confidently recommend.

As an Asian girl who knows nothing about making tacos and yet needed to buy 40+ lbs of taco meat…read moreand 500+ tortillas for a party, the employees here were SO helpful and patient in helping me figure out what cuts to purchase and whether it should be premarinated. One of the guys even offered and helped me carry everything to my trunk. On top of that, the meat was delicious AND affordable. Having the option for precut and premarinated meat was such a game changer for food prep. Our tacos got rave reviews. Will definitely be back for the taco Tuesday deals!! The store was also impeccably clean. FYI for 75 people (46 adults and 29 little kids), 38 lbs of meat and 350 tortillas were enough with some extra. The corn tortillas there were thick enough not to need double layering and didn't fall apart. For our carne asada tacos, we purchased carne picada since I learned it was the same as diezmillo, except pre-chopped. Even if the cut you're looking for doesn't come pre-marinated, they will marinate it for you if you ask! We ended up purchasing the La Carniceria Meat Market brand meat seasoning to use on the carne picada while grilling and it was superb. In the future I might also take them up on the offer to get the marinade on the side, and marinate it an hour before so it's not too mushy on the grill. 5 STARS for flavor, value, and service!!

I've been here a couple of times, but this was my first time using their online ordering system…read more The instructions say to go directly to the cashier and skip the line to pick up your order faster, so that's exactly what I did. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When I went to the cashier, the employee with the black hair completely ignored me and continued helping other customers who walked around me. I don't like being put in awkward situations, but I eventually had to speak up and let her know I was there to pick up an online order before she acknowledged me. After confirming my order, she asked one of the carniceros to retrieve it. He was the only employee who thanked me and made me feel welcomed. The cashier, on the other hand, rang me up with a noticeable attitude. I understand that busy times can be stressful, but I don't understand why I was met with such negativity when I approached with a positive attitude and simply followed the pickup instructions. To make matters worse, one of the black gloves the cashier had been using while handling the cheese somehow ended up inside my bag with my shrimp. That was very concerning from a food safety standpoint. I hope management takes this feedback seriously. A friendly acknowledgment and better attention to food handling would make a big difference in the customer experience.

Personable people (family owned for sure), affordable prices, GREAT quality food, clean and full of history. I've even heard from other people who grew up in the area all the way at my work in LA county who rave about that store.
