I came here for a specific reason, a true unicorn, Birria de Borrego! Ordered both the Birria de Borrego and Birria de Res, both were superb. However the Birria de Borrego was so far superior, possibly one of the best Birrias I have ever had, and this is coming from someone who grew up in a town that was primarily migrants from Jalisco Mexico! The salsas and everything was really good, but the star of the show was that Birria (weekends only), holy smokes, I'm salivating thinking about it. read more

This place was picked for dinner to go by some dear friends. It's a meat market and grocery that also sells tacos, gorditas, tortas etc. for offsite consumption. In addition, meats can be purchased by the pound, and bolillos and other breads are available if you want to make your own tortas. They also have a huge cheese selection, featuring just about any kind of white cheese you can imagine. But my main focus this evening was tacos and a cup of elotes, the delectable Mexican street corn dish that I used to enjoy when working in Mexico City. To order food, proceed to the grocery checkout line and give them your order. Upon choosing elotes, you're given a token to take to the cart where it's prepared. Once there, an employee will begin preparing your corn by taking fresh corn on the cob, cutting the kernels off and mixing it right up in the cup. The finished product, topped with a little Valentina hot sauce, hit all of the right notes, with firm but well cooked corn, creamy cheese and sauce, and a little heat. Moving on to the taco counter, the folks there will verify the meats for the tacos and package them for you, offering onion, cilantro, and lime wedges. I selected the more proper maiz (corn) tortillas; they come doubled, but the tacos held up well with just a single layer. My pastor taco could have used a tad more spice, but as delicious nonetheless. Barbacoa had a good flavor and was extremely tender, blending well with the onion and cilantro. Best of all, my elotes and two tacos were just a bit over $6, making this a very good value for the money. If you're in the area, give this place a try for the take out food, but check out the produce, cheese, bakery goods etc. as they're also very reasonably priced and are of good quality. read more

Their fajita plates are a hit with my employees! I have been ordering from La Tapatia for years to cater our monthly employee luncheons. Today we ordered approximately 150 fajita plates with less than a 24hr notice and as always La Tapatia came through with no issues. Our contact "El Guero" is extremely helpful and never turns us down when we have special requests on our orders. The fajita plate we ordered this time around included beef and chicken fajitas, rice, beans, tortillas and salsa. The meat is tender and full of flavor. The beans and rice are good, similar to what you would find at most Mexican restaurants. The green and red salsas are spicy and needed to give the food that extra kick in flavor. I like that they wrap the lunches in plastic to keep the box in tact and the food warm. Overall this is a great spot if your looking for some good fajitas at a decent price. We have also ordered tamales from La Tapatia during the holidays and they are delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with anything you order here. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed. read more

The meat here is VERY expensive and full of fat they do not even clean it for the price they are selling for. Then the people that work here do not even speak English at the cash register as I was with my wife and they said they do not speak English but I speak perfect Spanish and she was surprised I stepped in to defend her like was I was a stranger. The meat sold in the tacos is the same fatty meat sold in the Meat Market. Go to Fiesta down the street for cheaper prices. Never again will I buy here and will tell all my Hispanic friends and neighbors here in Carrollton. My business is in Carrollton and in Grapevine word of mouth is the best way to tell people how bad the service and how high the prices are here. read more

Great food friendly service I stop.by often for lunch the food is always on point. The place is always full. Bit service is good.

This is Carrollton's hidden gem! This is both a tacoria & a super market. The food is divine & authentic. The price for such delicious food is fair! read more

This place is awesome they have all the authentic Ingredients and stuff you need; meats, candy, already prepared tacos etc. The only drawback is that there is so much and it can be overwhelming. Also language can be a barrier but do t let that stop you. This is my go to for fresh guacamole, marinated veggies and rice pudding. read more

Is easy to find all your favorites and more delicious yummy ready made selection too Not large scale storefront that's ok still have all the essentials read more

I love the raw meat they sell especially the fajita marinada. You should know at least some Spanish if you're going to go here. The best thing, however, is their brisket tacos. I eat those at least once a week and they are AMAZING. The only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is that their shop is very crowded and hard to navigate. They've improved that in the past year or so by taking over a space next door and moving their food service business into that space. For groceries and such I'd say 2/5 stars but for premade food to go 5/5. This place is great! read more

I use to buy carne al pastor, and never had any issue, but today, saturday, July24, 2023 the meat was extremly salty, whoever marinated that neat went to way off with the salt, and I bought 5 pounds and cooked it and was too salty, I tried to call them but they never did'nt answer the phone. read more

Always enjoy the meat market. Good selections on foods and prepared items. Friend service

The butcher shop is very helpful and welcoming. Really cool market with good prices. It always seems busy! They even have a bakery attached.

If you are looking for common cuts for Mexican food this is the place to go!! We wanted a whole rib roast which they didn't have. The meat we did see looked fresh and well taken care of read more

The most amazing thing to me about this little place is how much they can cram into such a tiny spot. They always have taco meat simmering, onions chopping, and customers in a long line. The marinated beef fajita meat is superb. I can make my own, and the taste is similar, but I can't compete with theirs. Theirs is great. Flavorful and tender too. My only issue with the place is that those who are even the littlest bit claustrophobic are gonna freak. BTW, the butcher this morning ... we told him two pounds of the meat. He reached into the proper spot and pulled some out ... weighed it in his hands for a few seconds and trimmed a bit off. He then put it on the scale ... 1.99 pounds. Excellent! Dinner is coming! read more

Love love love this market. This is my spot!! The meat is always amazing. The fajita meat is to die for and is extremely reasonable. Their carnitas is also super delicious and you get a lot of bang for your buck. Make sure if you want to buy their already prepared food, that you pay for it (by the pound) at the register. Otherwise you won't be assisted at the counter ( you need a receipt). They always hook me up with lines, cebolla and cilantro, and salsa. Their salsas are really flavorful too. Their fresh tortillas in the coolers are to die for. They reheat extremely well and really compliment their meats. I always get my Mexican candies here too. They ate super fresh and they have a great selection. I can't say enough good about this place. Though the parking situation isn't the best, it's worth a trip inside. You won't regret it!! read more

I spent $80 at this place the other week I got 3 cacique queso frescos from here and tonight when I am cooking dinner 2 of the cheese tasted spoiled even though the expiration date on them was good I didn't bother opening the 3rd one I go to return them. The night manager is eating his lunch/diner and doesn't want to be bothered saying I probably don't like the cheese when I buy this cheese all the time and he is getting a attitude with me when I was calm with him . They only gave a refund for 2 when I had 3 cheeses but the wrapper for 2 because I had already thrown the other wrapper in the trash. Two cashiers were on the phones on a video call while attending customers . I will never come back this establishment again I have been here and have spent thousands of dollars here over the years and never have I been treated this way. The night Manager would rather eat his food instead of hear the customer out and blaming the customer saying that they don't like cheese just wow just because you don't want to attend to customers it's your job help them and not accuse them of nonsense crap . If I could rate a 0 star I would . They still owe me for another package of cheese but I doubt I will see that money back . read more

This review is for the take out. I ordered the already cooked fajitas which are only 5.99 a pound. The uncooked fajitas are only a couple of bucks cheaper so why cook???. They included several delicious sauces and I picked up a couple of bags of tortillas....Dinner is served. Also they say they give you a pound but its more like a pound and half or more. This is great if you have company and want a lot of food really fast and that taste really good. This place is awesome. You have to go to the register and order and pay there. The clerk then sends the order to the kitchen and you wait your turn. This is perfect for those spur of the moments get togethers. read more

This is a grocery store that also houses a taqueria. It was quite popular on a Friday night and street tacos are priced at $1.50. I chose to buy meat from the deli case in the back. At $5.99 a pound, for pre-marinated beef, this pricing is on par with other similar places. The difference is that this meat is so much better seasoned and cooked so well compared to come of the others around town. The store also carries all you need for your taco night, including house made, salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, and tortillas. The line was short and they take credit cards. Parking is easy in this large strip mall. I wish it were closer to my house! read more

I have been searching for the longest for authentic tacos in this area and I basically have found them. Like wow I had the fajita tacos and they met my expectations. They also sell elotes which is a must to order. Brush up on your Spanish because majority don't speak English well but everyone is still very helpful. When you go make sure you go to the cashier to order your food. I made the mistake in going to the counter where the food is at Lol. I definitely will be back for food from here. read more

The service is horrible. I purchased a dozen of tamales and when I took them home, they were very dry. And the meat was not shredded properly, only big chunks with hardly no red chile. The cooks serve who they want to and not how the line is progresssing. And if you raise your concern, they will dismiss you. Finally, the cashiers never greet you, nor thank you. They only engage in conversation with their coworkers. I will never go back. I've never had an issue with the Azteca on Forest/Webb Chapel after shopping with them for over 10 years. The manager greets his customers and they know him by name. And the associates & cooks are very friendly and the prices are reasonable. read more

The beans were burnt and the tamales were not worth the money I spend... Will not go back again. The rice was ok but mushy.

For the first time since buying street tacos, I had a gentleman who understood me (I don't speak Spanish) and my order was right! I wish I could avoid the 'other guy' (he was there but busy with other customers) when I go but when your # is up and he's calling it I can expect the wrong food. read more

My only wish is that La Tapatia were larger and had more variety. That being said, everything I've ever gotten there has been fresh and delicious. My favorite thing is marinated chicken thighs: I throw them in the air fryer for 20-22 min @ 350F and they're pure PERFECTION! Not to mention, cheap! read more

I only come here for the elote. It's so delicious! And fairly priced! Some of the hot food are delicious as well. However, place is a little crowded. Like I said, I'm here for the elote, not for groceries. read more

La Tapatia Meat Market - Meat Shops Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Simply incredible hidden gem. We moved here from LA so it has been a treasure hunt to find an authentic Mexican food dive with unworldly flavor at a ridiculous value. This is where you come for fresh Mexican groceries like tomatillo, fresh cactus for juicing or cooking, chiles, fresh guacamole, tortillas, etc. don't let the run down strip mall fool you or how small the store is. It's got all the basics! The meat dept is also unreal. Fresh cuts of everything including seafood. Our favorite is the marinated carne asada meat or "fajita meat" as they call it in Texas. They now have a fridge to the right of the meat dept where you can get tubs of fresh guacamole, salsas, and even ceviche now! If you wander into an unassuming hall to the right side of the store, it takes you into another hidden area of sweet bread wonderland! I can live here! There is a wide variety of delicious fresh-baked pan dulce (sweet bread). Very cheap! Most less than 70 cents a piece. But the true gem of this place is their home-style kitchen right inside the grocery store. A must! Make sure to visit their menu FIRST and make up your mind on your order as you will place this order at the grocery check out line and not at the kitchen. Once you check out and pay, take your receipt to the kitchen counter and they will call your order when your up or if not busy hand them your receipt. They have a great variety of tacos available. All of them are some of the best in town. Have the typical fajita, barbacoa, chicken or carnitas which never disappoint. But be adventurous and try the chicharrón (pork rinds) en salsa verde tacos or the Lengua tacos. Unreal! You can also order by the pound of meat and you are always sered with condiments of cilantro, onion, and limes and salsas. The true surprise here is their home-made MENUDO! Only served on weekends and it is the best Menudo in all of Dallas! Trust me. I've been on a mission to find the best menudo in town and this is the place. Menudo for you faint of heart is beef tripe soup. Forget how gross it sounds and try it. It has been a cultural tradition for generations. It is mostly billed as a celebratory, special occasion dish, even as a hang over remedy. Just season it with lime juice, oregano, hot sauce and enjoy with the healthy servings of fresh tortillas they will give you. And why not, sprinkle the onions and cilantro they give you as well. Menudo is my drug. I must have my menudo fix on the weekends or I won't be able to function during the weekends! All in all, there is only one small negative: I blame La Tapatia for enabling my food addiction and not helping with my New Years resolutions of trimming down. But let's take personal accountability here! While you are at it, walk a couple stores over to Lone Star Liquor who has some of he best craft beers in town and amazing selection. My favorite is the milk stout. Heavenly. Tell them Max sent you or some extra TLC! But that's another post! Enjoy the delicacies of this small and unassuming little store which has been discovered by locals for years! Taste is king here. Authenticity is queen, while you are the ones to the keys to the kingdom to all things deliciously amazing simple Mexican staple eats & grubbin! PS- try the Menudo! read more

Food (***** out of *****); Great Tacos. Either flour or corn soft tacos with beef fajita meat or chicken and all the fixins; tomato, lettuce, onion, lime, and green or red hot sauce. The ingredients are piled high. One of these Tacos probably has more meat than 3 Taco Bells. No kiddin! Just a minor gripe. I think the meat could use a bit more salt, however, my SO seems to tihink it has enough seasoning. Atmosphere (** out of *****); A tiny corner of a Mexican grocery store with 2 or 3 tables. Service (** out of *****); They speak basic English. You can order in English. You'll only need to speak Spanish if you ask something stupid like, "Is this organic?" or, "Is this gluten free?" otherwise, if you just order normally like everyone else, you can order in English just fine. Conclusion (***** out of *****); I threw in extra stars for value. No exaggeration. One of these darn Tacos has more meat than 2 or 3 Taco Bells. Also, this is not the "pink slime" pseudo ground beef crap that most fast food chains sell. Their tacos have solid slices of beef or chicken. For just $1.47 (corn) or $1.57 (flour), it is a real bargain. 2 or 3 of these Tacos will make an entire meal, depending on your appetite. Yum! P.S. Do remember to order at the cashier, NOT the taco counter. After ordering at the cashier, THEN you pick up your order at the tace counter after they announce that your order is ready. read more
