I experienced blatant discrimination at this store today…read more I walked in with my family to buy some drinks and asked a cashier where the restroom was. He flatly lied and told me there was no restroom. After purchasing our drinks, I asked a different cashier the same question, who was kindly explaining the directions to me. However, the first cashier immediately cut in and told his colleague not to let us use the restroom. To make matters worse, as I was exiting the store, I saw several Caucasian customers coming out of that exact restroom. It is clear that we were targeted and denied a basic facility based on our race. I am extremely disgusted by this cashier's hostility, appalling customer service, and unacceptable behavior. Avoid this place if you expect to be treated with basic human decency.

Awesome, long-established, charming little Mediterranean meat market in my neck of the woods. You…read morecan find it right next door to a sit-down restaurant. Parking is right out front in the street. Inside is nice, tidy, and neat. They have a large assortment of dry goods and bottled items, as well as a decent amount of marinated meats. It's all ready-to-go stuff; just grab it and fire it up the grill/oven/air fryer, and you've got yourself a savory, flavorful Mediterranean meal. Don't leave without their own, store-made garlic spread. It's da bomb! Now I know why people have been coming here for years. Keep it up, Garni!

Came here to purchase some meats for grilling. Was surprised at how small but mighty this store is!…read moreGreat selection of meats and very reasonably priced! The service was excellent! The gentleman behind the counter was very helpful in helping me make my selections and giving me recommendations! He mentioned they also provide grilled meats which is a great idea cause you don't have to cook the meat yourself at home! Brilliant! Overall once we grilled the meats we were so happy with the quality and the marinade! We will be back and I highly recommend for summer grilling!

This is my favorite nighttime after games spot and it is always busy. There are three other trucks parked on Rosemead which this one is located at night at the car wash, however they don't hold a candle to this truck! During the day it is located in front of staples on Colorado Blvd before Rosemead blvd.

Back After a Year & a Half... Still on the Hunt for Our Favorite Burrito!…read more It's been over a year and a half since hubby and I came back to our neighborhood taco truck, so we decided to bring our nephews along for a late-night taco run. First thing we noticed... the prices have definitely gone up a bit since our last visit (menu pictured). Carne Asada Burrito | 9/10 Our nephew ordered this and gave it a solid 9/10. He thought the carne asada was flavorful, well-seasoned, and packed with plenty of meat. Al Pastor Burrito (Light Beans) | 7/10 Our other nephew ordered this with light beans and gave it a 7/10. His only complaint was that it still had a little too many beans for his liking, but he enjoyed the al pastor. Al Pastor Tacos | 8/10 Our youngest nephew devoured five al pastor tacos (yes... FIVE ), so I'd say that's a pretty good sign! He rated them an 8/10 and happily cleaned his plate. As for me, I kept it simple and ordered a side of chicken with all the fixings. I'm not going to lie... this was probably our third visit, and although it's a convenient late-night stop, we still haven't found our go-to burrito spot. The burritos are decent, but they just haven't wowed us enough to keep us coming back for the cravings. The upside? Service is always fast, the staff is friendly, and it's conveniently located on the corner by the car wash, making it an easy stop when you're in the area. Overall, it's a solid 3 out of 5 stars. Worth trying if you're nearby, but hubby and I are still on the search for the one when it comes to burritos. Happy Eats!

WA Prime Meat Market has become one of our favorite local butcher shops. The quality of their meat…read moreis consistently excellent, and it's our go-to place whenever we're looking for high-quality cuts. We also buy our cooking tallow from them, and it's been great. The shop itself is small, but don't let the size fool you--they carry the cuts of meat we love and always have what we're looking for. The prices are fair, and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming. Our butcher is knowledgeable, helpful, and makes every visit a pleasant experience. If you're looking for quality meat and great service, I definitely recommend checking them out.

Finally tried out this neighborhood butcher and I'm so glad I did! Normally get my steaks from…read moreeither Costco or Stater Bros but didn't feel like driving far in the rain. So I decided to try this market. I think they opened about a year ago. It's in a small strip mall across the Arcadia county park. As soon as I got in, I was greeted by a very friendly lady behind the counter. I told her it was my first visit there and she talked briefly about what they carried. I said I wanted steaks I can cook easily on the stovetop and perhaps finish in the oven. I'm used to getting ribeyes or sirloin but she showed me the Picanha. She was very informative about the different cuts of meat and told me the Picanha actually can be more tender than the sirloin. So I purchased 2 packs (4 pieces total) for $29. Priced reasonably since Vons across the street is about the same with less quality cuts! Omg I just finished cooking them and yup! They are so good! Will definitely go back here! The place is clean and everything is packaged neatly. They even have beef tongue (lengua) and oxtail! Woohoo!

Alexander's (in Howie's Market) has been our go-to for quality meats for the last ten years…read more Sometimes a Costco steak hits just fine, but sometimes you want that juicy, marbled American Wagyu and they have had it here without fail. It's not "fake" American wagyu that's barely prime grade either--the marbling is a perfect balance between the richness of Australian/Japanese wagyus and a regular prime. The staff here are generally friendly and very helpful, and work hard to get you what you want. The only issue I've had over the years was one of the older guys behind the counter charging us for something much more expensive than what we actually asked for, and we had to drive all the way back to get a refund. Not sure what the deal was since we ran into him when getting the refund and he seemed annoyed rather than apologetic lol. But! Aside from that, everyone's great. When they're busy, grab a number from the corner and they'll call. There's a great selection in the case of just about every type of meat including fresh seafood. Bought a slab of Icelandic cod today as well because it looked so nice. If you order a lot, they'll ring you up in the back, otherwise they'll let you bring it to the front checkout to pay.

For the meal, I also made some keto-friendly spaghetti that I tossed in butter, pasta water, and freshly grated Parmesan reggiano.

The customer service with Chris was impeccable and they spend the time to answer questions. Honestly, I couldn't be happier.

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.

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! This brought down my otherwise 4 star review to 2 stars.
