I keep coming here because the quality of the meat is top notch, very tender and chewy texture, not…read moretough as compare to regular Supermarket, They have marinated and regular. I spotted a smoked pork chop, so without hesitation I grab it to try it at home. Can't wait to taste it. When they have promotions, come running to grab your meat!!!! Deals don't last for long. They habla español too!!! Lol This place is close by, plenty of parking, clean inside, and the butcher will help you cut/slice the pieces you want and the thickness of your choice. Great service ~! Sometimes they'll give you free salsas to take home. This has become my regular habit. If you like cooking at home like me playing Chef and Cooks , you should come and try them for yourself! I love the ribs for my backyard BBQ and prime rib eyes for weekend dinner , making my mouth water already ~ yum!

I was very concerned by what I observed during my visit on June 9th. An employee handled raw…read morechicken, beef, and pork without changing gloves between products. I specifically watched this occur while my order was being prepared, when I asked her if she changed gloves her response was " I have extra gloves here" I asked again if she switched gloves while handling different meats and she said she can re do my trays again. Afterward, I called the store and spoke with a manager named Liz, who told me they had been advised by the health department that employees did not need to change gloves between handling different raw meats. That response was surprising to me. Under the California Retail Food Code, food employees are required to prevent cross contamination of food, and single use gloves must be changed whenever contamination could occur and may not be used for multiple tasks without proper handwashing and glove changes. Specifically, California Health & Safety Code §§ 113961 and 113973 address preventing contamination and the proper use of single-use gloves. Based on what I personally witnessed, I did not feel confident that proper cross-contamination prevention practices were being followed. Separately, my brother became seriously ill after consuming food purchased there and was later diagnosed with a Salmonella infection. I cannot say with certainty where the infection originated, but given what I observed, I felt it was important to share my experience. What makes this especially disheartening is that I genuinely love the food here and have been a customer because of the quality of the products they sell. I wanted to continue supporting this business, but after witnessing these food handling practices and receiving the response I did when I raised my concerns, I no longer feel confident that proper food safety precautions are being followed. I sincerely hope management takes these concerns seriously and reviews its practices to ensure customer safety.

Me and my family have been coming here for over 10 to 15 years and we have never complained about…read morethe price increase because we know their meat is that good. But this past Tuesday two days ago my family and I bought $200 worth of meat to celebrate my cousin's promotion. The meat was spoiled. The marinade was brown. It was not red like how it usually is. There was no marbling . I called yesterday to ask what maybe what happened how they can help us you know I'm not looking for anything free, but they didn't try to accommodate our complaint. We have never complained at all, but we are certain we got spoiled meat and cheap meat that they're selling for $19 a pound. My family and I cannot believe we spent this much money on meat and they're not even providing good quality meat on a Tuesday. I called again twice today. They didn't answer so I guess this is the only way I can contact them.

I went in on January 6 to pick up a Rosca de Reyes, and honestly, it was not what I expected at…read moreall. The bread was extremely dry, almost stale, and it ended up being one of those situations where nobody even wanted to take it home. At first, I thought I scored a good deal because a large rosca usually runs around $40-$50, and this one was closer to $33, but now I understand why. With something this traditional, especially something people look forward to once a year, the quality really matters, and unfortunately, this one missed the mark. I didn't try any of their other pastries, and to be fair, maybe those are better, but Rosca de Reyes is such a staple that it's hard to excuse when it's done poorly. It actually hurts to write this review because I want local bakeries to succeed, but I also feel like I need to be honest with myself and with others who might be deciding where to buy theirs. On a positive note, the staff was very kind and welcoming. The bakery itself was empty when I went, and it's tucked into the corner of a parking lot, so it's easy to miss if you don't already know it's there. I'm sure regulars know exactly where to park and how things work, but for a first visit tied to such a special tradition, the experience just didn't deliver. There wasn't really an ambience for customers other than a very busy kitchen. There was just nobody there when I went.

Thumbs up for the most truly authentic Mexican Panaderia in Azusa !…read more Mexican from ELA I had not found a good panaderia in this side of town. Tried one in Covina but blah, so I always had to go back to ELA La Favorita !!! Yummmm yes go there too lol, until last year or the year b4 by accident. So glad I did ! I was craving Pan Dulce and Yelped of course and found this place and had to try it. If you want authentic pan dulce in Azusa, this is it ! Skip the Mexican markets, that bread is stale and does not taste authentic. Am I right or am I right ? As a kid when we went to Jalisco, my grandma always took us for pan in the evenings :D yummmm That's where my love of pan dulce comes from ! It's her fault lol Even though she made us walk like 2 miles just for pan & chocolate calientito yummm lol Sometimes I didn't want to go. Now in retrospect, the walking was a good idea you know, all the carbs ! Haha Well this place reminds me of those yummy times. :D For me, I love conchas, cuernos, & this round bread that looks like it has dust on top. I just forgot what's it called lol and it's my favorite to dunk in cold milk or warm chocolate abuelita. Ugh I can't remember what it's called ! After a long moment of thinking lol Oh yeah ! CEMITAS or is it Semitas!!! I don't know but Yummmm !! Some people I know don't like them cuz it's plain or never tried it, but it has like fennel seeds or something spicy like cinnamon baked into them because I love them & as a child I always chose that one & cuernos ! Like I said, dunk them in super cold milk or warm chocolatito abuelita and you can't go wrong ! They also have the best cuernos !!! What am I talking about ? Let me ESplain lol ( in the voice of Ricky Ricardo, I Love Lucy, hehe who else loves Lucy & Ricky? ) Cuernos are basically CROISSANTS ! YESSSS ! Yummm ! So yummy flaky & buttery ! I want some, but I can't have them anymore but you can ! So go have some for me and let me know if you love cuernos as much as me ! I once met the owner very friendly :D He's from Jalisco, if I remember correctly. Enjoy your pan dulce ! Let me know if you loved it & are addicted now lol Yummy eating

I always go to this La Simpatiia Meat Market everytime I have a need for meat in large portions…read more Fresh and good prices. Let me tell you what I buy best in this store, the thick beef spare ribs and the pork fat that I make for chicharon. If you don't see it on display ask the butcher, he is always willing to help. The staff are all friendly and helpful. On the other side of the store they have breads, tacos cooked food to go or dine which might interests your palates too. I am sure they are delicious because a lot of people are lining up to buy. The place is small but you can accomodate people because everybody works fast . Place is clean and kept well. Dine in foods are always warm. I will take picture next time. I am always in a hurry every time I go here. I give this place a 10 !

Asian markets & chain grocery stores selling at $9.99/Lb. So glad I paid $7.99 for bones with TEENY bit of meat!! Lesson learned. Buyer beware!

There's a great vendor in the back who sells fresh roasted nuts and raaha from Syria. And the meat is consistently high quality zabiha cuts and reasonably priced. I just wish they had more butchers or meat handlers working bc there's always a long wait for fresh meat. I'd also like to see their produce be a bit more affordable and fresh. Other than that, I have no criticisms. This place is a gem!

The food has always been solid. The tacos are flavorful, the portions are generous, and they do not skimp on the meat. It can be a little on the oily side, but for a food truck that is part of the experience and it still hits every time. You can tell the team works hard. Even when they're busy the line moves and the quality has been consistent every visit. The pricing is more than fair for what you get, which is another reason we kept coming back. It had been a while since my last stop, but I saw the truck driving the other day and it reminded me I needed to leave a review. Definitely due for another late night taco run soon.

There wasn't a line at around 5:30 pm, so it was quick to order. This truck accepts Zelle payments, which was huge! After browsing their menu, I ordered (1) al pastor burrito, (1) carnitas taco, and (1) chorizo taco. Despite a large order, everything was neatly packed within 10 minutes. They also included the sauces in the bag. The chorizo taco was a bit lacking in flavor, but I consider it 3/5. I liked the asada tacos a lot better and consider it a 3.5/5. For the burrito, this was definitely my favorite and I'd give it a 4/5. There was a lot of flavor in the onion, beans, rice, etc. The only drawback was the burrito was falling apart with each bite, so be prepared to get messy! One thing to note is that the pepper they gave was very spicy. If you're looking to dine here, there are a few tables in the front that accommodates large groups.
