I would give zero if I could. We used to like this place but hadn't been in quite some time. The Taqueria was absolutely garbage. Spent $40 for 2 plates and a menudo. Would not recommend any of it. Menudo is not made all together, like the tripe, broth/soup and hominy are all cooked and stored separately and then put together when ordered. It tasted disgusting. Everything was dry, beans were canned. Barbacoa was weired and had some kind of filler in it could have been white rice... it was gross. All of the food was bad but we only tried to get a refund on the Menudo that we could not eat and they refused! The manager wouldn't even talk to us. Never go here. read more

I was very pleased with the marinated meat that I purchased for fajitas. Seasoning was just right! I will be back!

Great Mexican meat market. Picked up fajita meat, chopped up meat for tacos and some short ribs for the griddle. A friend had taken me to this spot one time. Definitely will be my go to place for good Mexican food. read more

La Michoacana Panderia Meat Market - 80 bucks of seasoned meat for tacos. - Grocery Near Me - Bryan, Texas

Usually the cakes are great here and when they mess up it's usually just spelling but recently I purchased one for my wedding and it was all wrong. They got the shape wrong and the design wrong. I order a simple round white tres leches cake decorated with flowers using the icing. I received a rectangle white cake with a picture of a random little girl in the middle. When I called and complained they were very rude and said that that's what I had ordered. Luckily I had messages to the person that makes the cake where I sent the exact cake I wanted. In the end they didn't fix the cake all they did was put swirls of icing over the whole thing making it a big square of icing and it was very dry. I will not be going back after that. read more

It doesn't get more authentic than this place. The hot food was prepared to order. The two ladies working in the kitchen ain't playing no games. Incredibly flavorful. Clean atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

I've been to several of their locations in DFW and have always been underwhelmed with the customer service and cleanliness. The College Station location has phenomenal customer service and is super clean! I'll be going back on my annual trips to the area read more

Best place for authentic Mexican food. I mainly visit for free marinated beef fajita meat and it never disappoints

My SO and I went to the food counter to try the various foods, we got beef fajita tacos, steak gordita and a pupusa. There are a lot of options for meats available, but the servers don't speak much English and the meats in the window aren't labeled so you don't really know what you're getting. The flavors were alright, but nothing to call home about especially since everything kind of tasted the same. The amount of oil they used was way too much, making everything very soggy and generally made our stomachs uncomfortable afterwards. However, past 3pm everything on the menu is half off which is a great deal. For all the food we ordered it only cost $7. Then again we didn't enjoy it much and went to taqueria nopalita afterwards for gorditas, which made us super happy. Would not return for the food. And pretty disappointed by the other reviewers who made this place sound really good to be honest. read more

I would give a four-and-a-half star review if possible as I did have a few minor misgivings, but on the whole my experience was a glowing success. My girlfriend and I went to La Michoacana to try the food at the Taquieria. Little did we know as we pulled up that there was a corn stand out front! It's like being back in Dallas again. My girlfriend was extremely excited at that. She eventually got a cup on the way out and said she liked it a lot. I believe it was 2.75 if I recall correctly. The lady making it threw a scoop of corn to nearby birds crowding her cart; I liked that. My girlfriend ordered 4 gorditas but ended up eating only 2. They were pretty large, and we were able to see the cook prepare them. I ordered 5 tacos fajita with corn tortillas and they were delicious. I was only able to eat 4 (I started the fourth and reluctantly finished it because I was already full by the second bite). The food was very good (better than Arrandas, Tio, and every other place around here we've visited) but the meat was a little more fatty than I'd have liked. I had to spit out three chunks because it had tendon and fat. The meat was very well seasoned though and came with cooked jalapeño slices mixed in it. We also ordered Mexican cokes; they were good. To order the food, you must go through the checkout up front that you pass when entering. There are signs hanging over them to tell you to order there first but we were apparently oblivious to them and had to walk out of the line I'm the taqueria, order, and come back. Near the line at the taquieria there is a machine you may insert quarters in. It's the kind that the quarter gets pushed forward, causing more on that tier to fall, and hopefully more on the next tier to fall for you to collect. There was a little boy begging his parents for a quarter but they said no so I offered him one. My girlfriend said his mother told him to thank me or she'd keep the quarter herself. When we sat down to eat the boy sat behind me and tapped me on the back for another. :) There is a "toppings bar" in the taquieria area with shredded cheese, chopped lettuce, onion, cilantro, radishes (I think), jalapeños, lime halves, pico de gallo, and many sauces: guacamole, several salsas from red to green and in between, sour cream, etc. The red salsa was not very spicy despite looking like a chili paste sauce. The toppings all looked very fresh and I've never gotten as much juice out of a lime as from the ones here. After eating, we looked around for groceries. Their supply is excellent! It's MUCH cheaper than walmart, and even cheaper than Village Food produce. The non-produce items would probably be cheaper elsewhere however. My girlfriend and I loved this place and would suggest it to others looking for inexpensive, authentic Mexican food and produce. read more

DELICIOUS. I love the tacos here. The meat is very different than the other tacos I've had around BCS. I've had the carnitas, chicharron and the pastor here, all were very different than what I've ever had. I think the chicharron was in a green sauce and tasted fatty, but it was wonderful and I always get cravings for it. The pastor was very spicy but also tasty. Just be wary that it may be difficult to communicate if you can't speak Spanish. read more

I'm a huge fan of this place. Growing up in West Texas there are some items that I used to enjoy that are really hard to find out here in the BCS area. the Beef short ribs they sell here are amazing as is the fresh marinated Lemon Pepper Chicken. The people are genuinely friendly, speak English as well as Spanish, the food is always super fresh and the prices are decent. Love the meat market and the fresh pork skins! Definitely a great place to check out. read more

Love this place! Great selection of fresh foods, prepared foods, meats at the carnicería (butcher counter), and freshly baked savory and sweet breads and pastries. read more

I'm only reviewing the taqueria as my other experience shopping in La Michoacana is rather limited (to purchasing pan dulce --which is excellent-- or Kern's nectar or random chipotle peppers in adobo sauce). The prices for the taqueria are really low and led me to believe the tacos would be very small -- but they're not! We've ordered barbacoa, pollo, carnitas and bistec tacos and ALL of them have rivaled some of the best taco trucks in LA. We are particularly taken away with the barbacoa tacos. We have not ordered any tacos on flour tortillas (it just seems wrong). We've also bought tamales (chicken) and they were quite possibly the best tamales I've ever had, including those I've had at family dinners on Christmas eve. The masa they use must have something special or illegal tucked inside. Just the other day I had my first torta there (chicken) and I was concerned when I didn't see any avocado in the glass case. Not to worry, however, as there was what seemed half an avocado in my sandwich. The bolillo bread was perfect! You can also get any kind of agua fresca to go with your meal, which is great on a hot day when you're eating something spicy. This place will be our stand-by for tacos in the BCS area. I can't wait for out-of-town friends to visit so I can take them there. read more

This a great cheap place to shop with a fresh meat market and a small dinner of mexican food. They have a great bakery that makes there own home made breads and pastry's. The service is great and welcoming; they have a small verity of Mex music videos and also American movies. They have all you basic needs at this place. read more

They have fresh meat and the price is not bad. They also have all kinds of goods, fruits, vegetables, cakes, beverages and detergents. They also sale ready to eat foods and have some seats for those who want to dine in. It is pretty much a relaxed place. read more

You need to communicate in spanish to really have a good experience. The meat is quite expensive and some of the beef meats look oxidized already. But they have a great choice of tacos. read more

Meat was open and on cutting boards, blood was in the cheese and when we ordered cheese there were bits and pieces of meat in it. We went back to exchange it and had terrible service from the big heavg set supervisor working in the meet department, she gave artitude and said we put the meat in the cheese. She then shortened the amount of cheese we paid for and said it was close enough when it was off by a quarter of a pound. Again the MEAT was on the counters and not cleaned up so who knows how long it was out there for and how many other people were served with blood on their products without them knowing. Thats a little thing called cross contamination and if they dont recognize it then they need to be trained better or terminated. Hours were not busy at the time we went to la michocana off of marbach We will not continue to go there and lost a very good costumer. read more

I love this place and you will too. If you ever have a craving for any type of Mexican or Latin ingredients that you have trouble finding anywhere, you will likely be able to find them widely available here. I love all things Mexican in addition to Peruvian foods and have missed them greatly living in College Station. You can find almost anything here from inexpensive meats to your favorite latin sodas. Everything is affordable and selection is vast. If you come early enough you can go outside and purchase the freshly cut corn off the mob with hot sauce, cheese and sour cream. It is AMAZING and you will dream of this stuff once you eat it. Thank me for the tip once you do! read more

La Michoacana Meat Market, Baytown, TX area needs to be reprimanded or told that when items are NOT in stock, to not be able to order these items. I had a 47.00 order for which I ended up paying only about $1.50 with a nearly $6.00 tip thru Instacart to bring me a couple of jalapenos and a couple of tomatoes and none of the other items on my order. This "bait and switch" tactic of showing items as available when shopped but not available when the shopper gets there is infuriating. I have placed orders for Kroger, and, while they may be out of stock of a couple of items by the time the order is shopped, they CLEARLY do not show stock of items when I am shopping if the items are not available. I am beyond furious right now and will NEVER shop this store again for anything. read more

I love this place. The carneceria has a good selection and great flavors. The panaderia has nice breads and Mexican pastries and the veg section is decent, nice place to get fresh green plantains and a good selection of chiles. My only qualm is that, being from West Texas, I grew up with a lot of people from Chihuahua and other parts of northern and western Mexico so Michoacan stores have most, but not all of the things I want. Also, if I could get fresh huitlacoche, I would upgrade this to five stars. Estan leendo esto, duenos de La Michoacana? Quiero huitlacoche, y chapulines...si tengas tacos de chapulines, por favor, ponga los en el menu! read more

If you're ever craving an elote on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, this is the only place I know of in town to get them. If you have no idea what an elote is, it's a mixture of warm corn, sour cream, mayonnaise, cheese, and lime that you dress with spicy or super spicy sauce, served in styrofoam cup. Bring cash; they're $3 a pop, and they make a nice appetizer to some tacos from the eatery inside. Between the carnitas and barbacoa, the barbacoa wins hands down, but the carnitas are pretty good dressed up at the salsa bar. If you want barbacoa (or carnitas) for future consumption, they sell it by the pound in the back of the store, and I'd recommend grabbing the salsa conveniently located in the aisle leading to checkout. read more

I happend to be in college station so it was my first time goin to a La Michoacana in Bryan. Best tacos hands down, ive been to a few La Michoacanas in Houston and they all have the best tacos , great price, and fast quality service which is why i would rate this a 5. I personally prefer fajita and barbacoa with the green sauce. read more

Tried a couple tacos and a tamale at the cateteria today. The lingua (beef tongue) looked appealing, and adventurous, and came with a nice salsa verde. They were better than the typical beef fajita, shredded chicken, or barbacoa tacos most people order. The tamale was huge, and packed with shredded, flavorful pork. It was the least greasy tamale of this (northern) sort I've tried in town. All this with a half-liter Mexican Coke (with sugar, not H.F.C.S.) for under $10, and filling enough to call it dinner. And all the while, I watched the bakery staff stock a display of these fat little loaf-shaped rolls. I bagged up 3 of these little beauties, and a few different types of fresh empanadas. All this plus a re-supply of my favorite hot sauce makes for some fulfilling shopping. read more

I came to this place wanting to try the corn outside, but unfortunately did not have cash. I read the other glorious reviews about the tacos, so I went inside try 'em out. Make sure you pay for the tacos in the check out line first before going over to the taqueria or else you'll look dumb (like I did). I ended up getting 2 tacos: fajita and chicken. The meat was really tender & full of flavor. The salsa bar they had was great and had some variety. The tacos were really authentic tasting! The market itself looked pretty authentic, but I'm not Hispanic so I wouldn't really know what to expect. I'd definitely come back for more tacos or even the other plates they have! Oh and especially the corn. Must remember to bring cash! read more

Very tasty tacos, pretty quickly served. The language barrier was surmountable, and the price was quite low. Yum!

Great food! HUGE portions =D I love the barbacoa with red sauce (ancho?). Agree with the previous review, the restaurant has the menu/choices, but you pay at the cash register, then you order at the restuarant by handing them your receipt. read more

The taqueria here has the best tacos in the BCS area. The barbacoa and the pollo (red sauce) are my favorites. They even have papusas. The DELICIOUS creamy green sauce (very spicy!) at the bar is one that I have never found at any other taqueria since my college days in north Texas. I went to a michoacana today in Dallas, and they didn't even serve papusas or have the special green sauce...so this location's taqueria seems to be so much better! I will miss this place. read more

Was happy to finally find what seemed like a place with authentic Mexican food. Unfortunately the food was far from real Mexican made food. First of all the green salsa that the Bistek en Verde is mixed with is without a doubt canned salsa and has a bitter nasty taste to it. Second the desebrada en rojo had no flavor and was not spicy nor did it seem like there was chile colorado used to make it. Third I ordered a quesadilla that tasted horrible, they use a cheese that is not traditional to Mexican quesadillas and it gives these quesadillas a really bad flavor, so much so that I couldn't finish my quesadilla. Fourth the salsas at the salsa bar were bland and had no flavor. Fifth the beans are most likely canned beans because I have never tasted beans like this at a real Mexican restaurant. Finally and most importantly, their customer service is HORRIBLE, having never been here before, I instinctively stepped up to the counter to order and the two ladies never paid attention to me until I asked them if I could order. They said I had to go pay at the register, so I did and came back and agin they didn't come up to me or anything until I called them over. Four months staying in the Bryan/College station area and I have yet to find a place where they sell good tasting, real and authentic Mexican food. So disappointing. read more

Came here to give them an amazing review but there's so many already. La Michoacana deserves all the praise. They are as authentic as you can find in BCS. Try the carnita tacos. They only have them on Sundays and Mondays. read more
