I've been coming here since I was a kid after moving to Carson, and now in my 30's, it's still my favorite meat market. Even though I live farther away now, I make it a point to stop by whenever I'm in town and stock up for the week because nothing compares. The quality is always amazing, the prices are fair, and they have everything you need. It's one of those places that feels like home the moment you walk in. The staff is friendly, the selection is great, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. I recommend this place to everyone I know. Supporting a local business that's been part of my life for so many years means a lot to me. Carson should be proud to have a gem like this. Delicious, reliable, and always worth the trip! Thanks for being part of so many family meals and memories over the years. read more

The best place in the SOUTH BAY for Carne Asada. I haven't met another place that could make me change my mind. The carne asada here is prepared so well. It is addicting. Lines are 98% always super long. Store is well kept and clean. There are a lot of other items here to buy. Their salsas and guacamole are also delicious. read more

I have been going here for years and many of my friends and family get excited when I tell them I'm bringing meat, specifically tasajo from here. Asked for tasajo on Father's Day and they always go to the back for it, this time was no different. By the time we had the grill going everyone was hungry and we opened the bag of meat up and it was ranchera. We cooked it because we were starving but were very disappointed as we were looking forward to having tasajo for our Father's Day bbq and also having paid $70 for 4 lbs of ranchera. I went back to complain and hopefully get some sort of refund or store credit but they at first tried to tell me that it was tasajo. After showing pictures they said that the tasajo and ranchera is the same price. NOBODY asks $15.90/lb for ranchera. Scammed me out of $70 because their butchers are incompetent and rude. Father's Day BBQ was a let down. Will NEVER return and make sure my family and friends know to avoid. Extremely disappointed. I will have to find a new carnicería with tasajo. read more

Muy buen servicio para tomar órdenes por teléfono muy buen trabajo Maribel. Will definitely continue to order the food they do it fresh and it always sells out read more

La Venadita Meat Market - Carson - Unable to take a photo of the food since I ordered it for tomorrow's pick up will update later - Meat Shops Near Me - Carson, California

The meat here geez it's so damn good. I've also tried the chicken outstanding. Little hole in the wall in Carson, but delicious nonetheless.

Amazing carne and pollo para asar. Best marinade everrrr. So an old coworker introduced me about 10+ years ago, and I've been coming back ever since. Things to know before you go: Parking is , getting in and out if horrible if they are busy. If you can park on the street. On holiday weekends be prepared to wait in long lines. Usually when it's a beyond busy, there will be someone out handing out tickets, hold on to your ticket. They will call your number before going in. The same number will be called to place your order, so hang on to it. If it's a regular day, just head up to the ticket machine ans grab your number. There's two cashiers and usually one line. They will call the next customers. You can ask if there is two lines or one instead of cutting off a bunch of grumps. They accept cash, credit cards and EBT. Not sure about all the newer phone app payments and such. Anywho, highly read more

My family has been coming here for years since my grandparents had lived in Carson. Although everyone moved away from Carson we still often make trips out to get our meat here for Sunday bbqs. We also get their ceviche by the lbs. They have good meat cut options and different marinades. It's a spot we know we can rely on getting good meat at good prices. read more

MANAGER ACTS LIKE IT COMES OUT OF THEIR PAYCHECK IF THEY HAVE TO OPEN A NEW REGISTER I swear, I spend more time in line here than I do inside shopping for the things I need. there's no air conditioning, and there's maybe ten cashier stations and at most two open. But they sure have plenty of people standing around just to tell us we can use self checkout, which those of us with alcohol or produce cannot. The products are great, food is great, but the ambience being like Scottsdale in August doesn't help when we're all standing in lines 7-10+ parties in each, hoping not to sweat off our makeup before we get out of there read more

Come early to pick up fajitas. Usually a long line if you come late. Efficient and nice.

Best Mexican meat market in the South Bay. Great carne asada and bbq chicken, great salsas and tortillas too.

Hidden Gem Alert!!! I absolutely love La Venadita. They have the best and freshest meat and ceviche around. I've been going to the Wilmington location for years and recently started coming to the Carson location. The price of the meat is good compared to other places, and the quality is top notch. The guys working the counter are always very friendly and helpful. The store is very organized and clean. They carry everything you need to have a great meal with the family no matter how big or small. They do get very busy on holidays but once you try the meats you'll know why. read more

Always Fresh Meat & Produce, great service and hard workers... Thx for all you do guys!

This meat market is a gem. They have great prices and staff is really friendly and fast. We usually buy the pollo asado and carne asada ranchera. The taste for both is great. It is seasoned perfectly. Not too spicy either which is a plus. They are also known for their ceviche. I am not really a fan of ceviche but my bf and his family love it. Other than the meats they have available, they also have veggies and other market items. They have a great selection of chicharrones, too. I ordered a pound each of meat and chicken, green onions, 5 limes, and chicharrones and my total was $19. Spent less than other locations in South Bay. We will continue to buy our meats here so see you next time. read more

The Carne Asada is good- Came to this spot 2 tines in one day! SMH Tender lean no fat. read more

A little pricey, but the meat is the best around. I also love that I can find most of the little things I forgot when I did my regular grocery shopping, like when I forgot to get a packet of cheese. read more

The meat is always top tier for bbqs and for home cooking. I go every 2 weeks and love the service and and cashiers and the butchers are always so kind. The vibes are always very welcoming. The meats are always marinated to perfection don't know a better place. read more

I've been coming here for over 20 years. The quality of meat is good, but the price sucks. If it's a holiday weekend, you're going to pay over $18 a pound for carne asada. The parking is horrible, the girls working at the register are really nice but the people cutting the meat have a bad attitude and if you go late in the evening, when they're about to close, they're attitude is at there worst. I'm pretty sure they're better meat market out there, but I just come here because it's so convenient and close by my house. I RATE IT 7.0 read more

Great prices and clean store. The quality of the meat is unmatched. Friendly customer service too.

Esta mini market siempre se ha conocido por su buena calidad de la carne, siempre compro ahí para hacer tacos pero últimamente el chorizo lo hacen con mucha grasa podría decir que el 60% es grasa, ya no lo hacen como antes lo hacían se ha perdido la calidad. read more

La Venadita Meat Market - Carson - Meat Shops Near Me - Carson, California

This place is actually in Carson but they have it listed as Wilmington. This is a small mom and pop place that sells the best carne/pollo asada in town. It gets really busy during the holidays and the prices of their meats goes up by $4. When it gets busy, sometimes their carne asada doesn't get marinated long enough and it doesn't taste very good. So a good suggestion is to get there early before the holiday rush begins. Also this place doesn't sell wine or beers, so you'll have to make another stop for that. Overall it's a great carnecería place. read more

Found this gem on a trip to Home Depot . Stopped by the carniceria and picked up some ceviche. Staff was friendly in the process and at the register . Store is not huge and at peak hours will feel cramped . No complaints from me. read more

I found this place because I needed taco meat and this is probably the most authentic meat I've gotten at a market. The marinated and non marinated pastor, asada, pollo and ceviche are all so good!! Their service is fast, so many varieties of items like tortillas, chips and fresh veggies all your needs. And hey you might find a tamale guy outside for the ambiance . read more

I went to buy pollo and carne asada and a friendly shopper said his favorite is the BBQ chicken so I bought that as well. I thought both the pollo and carne asada were way too salty and heavily seasoned. I thought the Bbq chicken was really good. Nice little market! read more

BEST CHICKEN FOR BBQS! It's a bit packed on the weekends but honestly always worth it, and place looks like the little shops in Mexico " Ambiance 10/10 read more

Older man that was standing security on 08/03 rudely pushed my son (3yrs old) to the side while he was " in the way" of an older lady trying to go to the next line. Was very rude to customers behind me who also were trying to go to that line read more

Been coming here for over 15 years and had recommended many friends and family but this time around I will look elsewhere after I paid $18 a pound for their carne asada!!! I was shocked from paying $11.99 a lb to $18.00 in just a month!!!!! Don't come here there's plenty of place to go for way cheaper prices. read more

The best marinaded bbq chicken the way I cook it taste like Chinese food. Love this place read more

They have gotten very expensive and the quality isn't what I remember for the extra money. I'm not saying it's not good.......

This place is one of thee joints for your bbq needs! Delicious meats and salsas You won't find raw fish unless it's prepared like ceviche and shrimp but odds are if you are here you are preparing for a party or a good time! Negatives but it's not their fault or well it is but it's a good thing for theM It's packed especially before weekend specifically before holiday weekends or big game or fight weekends And parking is super small and tight read more

Good meat but has the worst service, workers are distracted and don't pay attention to what they are charging you for . Highly recommend keeping an eye on the cashiers when checking out. Honestly really disappointed in this place use to be a great market but all they got going for them is quality meat . read more

Very cute market , super sorted and mom n pop feel. They have all the mexi spices you could want and the service was very welcoming :) it's a little far from me if not I would come a lot more often. Do recommend very cozy feel read more

The ceviche is superb. Consistency. A little out of the way place but don't overlook it.

Always fresh and good prices for meats or vegetables. Customer service is always supportive The Wilmington community residents thank ownership investing in our town read more

I've been coming to this meat market since I was a little kid with my dad. Now I continue to come with my own wife and kids. The meat here is hands down the best quality meat in the area. There are no other places that can compare to La Venadita. If you haven't tried coming here do yourself a favor and try it you won't regret it. read more

Amazing ceviche, lots of other meat options but I was there specifically for the ceviche.

I have only bought and tried the marinated flap meat. It is delicious! Worth the drive to get it!
