Amazing chorizo selection and great service! I usually like go to the one in Santa Ana because it was close to me. Now my wife and I go to the Anaheim location which is still the best chorizo ever! My wife and her family love the quality and taste of this place! It's always super fresh and great tasting. The service is great and we're always greeted by a smile by the staff. read more

Ochoa's chorizo is hands down the best chorizo you'll ever have. This is a small, hole-in-the-wall, family-owned spot that truly cares about its customers. Vanessa, the owner, is incredibly sweet and clearly knows exactly what she's doing. She took the time to let us know that everything is made fresh in-house, which really shows in the quality and flavor. She recommended the green chorizo, and wow -- it was bursting with flavor and unlike anything I've had before. That unique option alone sets them apart. I love supporting places like this, and you can tell there's a lot of pride and love behind their chorizo. I know they also have another location in Santa Ana, and honestly, they should keep expanding and bring one out to the IE. I'd be there all the time. read more

Small, local spot that consistently has the freshest, least greasy chorizo available. The green chili chicken version is usually part of any order we make, it's legit. They know chorizo, esta bien!! read more

I got the medium, it was perfect! Wonderful flavor, not too fatty, delicious! Great customer servicemer service, and was able to choose from pork, and chicken, had to buy both! Will definitely return..... read more

The chorizo was really good and I believe for the amount I bought it was $8.50 it was really spicy though so when you cook, have the windows open otherwise, your house will get very Smokey read more

Yelp Challenge 2015. 293/365 Do you like it long and thick? Well this hunk of meat keeps going and going and going. They were easily 2 feet long. Reminded me of a looooong snake. I didn't know what to do with them when the hubsters brought them home. But he was super excited when he handed me his 2 brown sacks. I Immediately cut them in half, packaged them up in some zip locks and threw some in the freezer for a rainy day. Cooked some up immediately and the rest were tossed in the fridge. Super easy to cook. First sautéed some chopped onions in EVO, then cooked up some of the Chorizo, scrambled some eggs and folded it altogether. Scooped it into some fresh mini corn tortillas, and topped with cheese. It was delicious. Add crumbled bacon, even better. The shop is nothing fancy. Located off Lincoln near the 57 freeway. It is next to a haircut place, which is how the hubsters found it. Packaging could be better, they just throw it in one of those plastic veggie bags and a brown lunch bag, but this stuff is legit. Made fresh every Thursday in a few different flavors. A little pricey, one was $9.00, the other $4.00. But they are super tastey!! We got the chicken one, and a spicy chipoltle one. Packed full of flavor. Funny thing is, I didn't think I would like it, resisted eating chorizo my entire life. But once I was forced to cook it, I became a fan. It was pretty good. Now go get your 2 foot hunk of meat. read more

Ochoa's Chorizo - Homemade tacos made with Chicken Chorizo with egg, cheese, salsa and beans. - Grocery Near Me - Anaheim, California

Once you try Ochoa's Chorizo there's no going back. Finding a place that sells better tasting chorizo will be very difficult. I have a normal routine of going out to breakfast every weekend but today wanted to make breakfast for a change. I have driven by Ochoa's Chorizo a few times. It's located in a small shopping strip between a Liquor store and Pizza Rosa. Ralph's grocery store use to be here but closed down a few theses ago. The store remains vacant but leaves plenty of parking for the other businesses. I walked in and was greeted by the women behind the counter. I already knew what I wanted before going in so I just gave her my order which was the Green Chorizo and Soyrizo. The Green Chorizo you can purchase by meter or half meter. I was told the meter is about 2 lbs. The Soyrizo you can get my the pound. They also sell eggs for $4.00 and tortilla packages which range from $2.00 to $3.00. It's so convenient being able to buy everything here to make a burrito. Fast forward I went home and cooked both chorizos in separate pans. The green was AMAZING! It was so tasty and just perfect. Honestly beat tasting chorizo I have ever had. As for the Soyrizo, I was disappointed. I've had Soyrizo a few times but I wasn't a fan. I was still extremely happy with my green chorizo and won't complain. Next time I want to try the other favors. I am sure they will probably be just as delicious! This is a must try! read more

This place is amazing. If you authentication Mexican chorizo you must come here. They offer a variety of selection from soy to jalapeño chorizo. My favorite is the spicy chorizo it's delicious and always fresh . Please support this local family restaurant during Covid-19. Credit cards accepted. On a side note they also sell salsas, tortillas, dried chilli's , bottled glass cokes. read more

See all

unbelievable craft happening hear family owned and operated grandmothers recipe ( fact) highly guarded i add the green chorizo ,if slow cooked properly, is outstanding the jalapeños make the texture chewy like soft candy fabulous would be an understatement thanx Ochoa's for saving me having to purchase a product with less pride involved yammis read more

Great chorizo for BBQ's and tacos. Definitely going back. Great salsas and chips too.

Totally recommend Ochoa's Chorizo. The Chorizo is very delicious. The place is clean.

Love Ochoas Chorizo, store is clean and chorizo is very tasty. They offer different spice levels and sell loose chorizo too. My kids like the mild, has a small kick but good option if you want more spice. Worth the drive. read more

Beef jerky is always good! The chorizo is pretty good as well, but I always go for the jerky.

Every time we have purchased chorizo from here it was delicious!!!! The chorizo verde and chorizo pastor are the favorites in our house.

My fiancé and I were craving chorizo but I really don't like any packaged/store kind. I haven't found a place that I've liked, and I stumbled upon this place. I told the gentleman working there it was my first time and he walked me through all the types of longaniza they make. I decided to buy 1 mild and 1 medium spicy. I've only made one and my fiancé and I loved it! It was very delicious and full of flavor, I can't wait to make the other! They also practice social distancing guidelines and the place is very well kept. read more

This is our new place for Chorizo. Perfect flavor & heat. We got the medium, just right. Location was sketchy and undesirable. Would not recommend going here at night. Kid that worked the counter was very nice and helpful. $4 for 1/2 liter. They have pork: mild, medium & hot. Chicken chorizo as well. read more

I'm not a chorizo expert but I know when I get me some good stuff. Ochoa's is a family run place although they have several locations it still feels homey. The girls who I've met working there treat it like its their own spot. I've tried the green and red pork chorizo from Ochoa's and must say that it is way better tasting than the c-tubes I used to pick up at the local Vons. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ochoas-chorizo-anaheim?select=Zne-MXSMQqpEw7Yz5Wlizg Best way to eat your eggs. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ochoas-chorizo-anaheim?select=io4f8z9VU3gAwikNfctMlQ I have cooked it several ways, The mild red (picoso) is fantastic with eggs for a nice south of the border breakfast treat not too much heat but really flavors them well. I had never had a green pork chorizo before but tried it mixed 50\50 with ground beef for some amazing sandwiches loaded with flavor. See recipe below. Ochoa's chorizo is not fatty and greasy like the stuff I was used to from the local grocery's. Roy B's Green Chorizo Man-wiches perfect for early morning football games that will be followed with a few micheladas. 1lb Ochoa's green chorizo 1lb 90/10 ground beef 1 large yellow onion 1 can (8oz) tomato paste 1/4 chicken stock 2 garlic cloves 2tsp cumin 1 can (8oz) chopped jalapenos 2tsp Mexican oregano squeezes o lime optional Mix all together cook until browned beef and chorizo and thickened. Serve on hamburger buns with a topping of jack cheese. Ochoa's is the best around get yourself some. read more

Good chorizo and multiple flavor options. Tried the green chorizo (contained jalapeños and cilantro) and the spicy pork chorizo. Both were tasty, spicy pork had a good kick to it. They also had a chicken chorizo that looked good. Great place to think about for a BBQ when you want something a bit different then just carne asada and chicken. Will be going back very soon. read more

Ochoa's Chorizo - Green chorizo and spicy pork chorizo - Grocery Near Me - Anaheim, California

The chorizo was fantastic, best I have ever had -1st time customer, way better than the store bought - hopefully owner will keep up their sanitary customs like wearing gloves and not touching money without washing their hands after....... read more

This place is incredible! Best chorizo I've ever had. I discovered their other location in Santa Ana years ago by random chance with an ex-girlfriend. Then I kind of forgot about it. Then one day when my brother-in-law mentioned chorizo, I suddenly remembered about this place. I started raving about how good I remember it being and how he had to try it because it's the only chorizo I've had that's practically grease-free! So one day we made the trek to get some. Needless to say, he wasn't disappointed. Now everyone in my family is hooked on this place! Do yourself a favor and go! read more

Delicious and fresh. If you love chorizo or even if you feel just ok about it... you need to try this place. I get the mild because let me tell you the hot is hot. I accidentally got the hot once but it was too good to waste so I added it to some beans and let it stew for a while. Amazing! Get a meter of two to throw on the grill and enjoy! read more

This place has been on my radar for a while now, and I am happy that I finally had the chance to give it a try. As it was my first visit, I got a mix of chipotle and verde chorizo links and a pound of hot/spicy chorizo in bulk. All three varieties of chorizo were really great. The green chorizo had a nice fresh green chile flavor. The chipotle chorizo has a nice chipotle flavor, yet not overwhelming smokiness or heat. The ground spicy chorizo had a great flavor and nice heat (we used it in stuffed poblanos with a little cheese, so good). All three styles of chorizo were pretty lean, but rich tasting. In addition to the fresh chorizo, Ochoa's also sells tortillas, dried chiles, fresh salsas, mole preparado, and a few other grocery items. The store and kitchen area are very clean and tidy and the service is friendly and prompt. This store is a bit out of my way, but I will definitely be back. read more

Best store ever there meat so good and a variety of options to choose from including cecina and soy chorizo

My dad works in the area and decided to stop in and grab a new chorizo to try. Everyone was very helpful and recommended we try the green medium chorizo, and it was amazing. It was very clean in there and the service was great. We will definitely be returning!! read more

Jaime's parents were really excited to see that there was a chorizo place near our new house and as soon as that for sale sign came off our lawn, they headed over to buy some meat to break in the BBQ. Once they cooked and consumed, they swore it was the best chorizo they had ever had. I'm personally not a fan of chorizo. I think it's grainy, greasy and just not my thing - that was until I had the stuff from here. We usually have it in taco form and it's delicious. I can usually handle heat when it comes to the spiciness of food, but the hot option is actually pretty damn hot and I have a hard time eating it. The mild is more my style and I like that I can boost the temp with good salsa to my liking. If pork isn't your thing, they have chicken, soy and other specials on the menu for the picking. This is a great family run place and they are reasonable when it comes to prices. They sell it in casings or in ground form. For the casing version, it's about $7.50 per meter which equates to about a pound and a half. For a huge outing, we usually order three meters and still have leftovers. The meat doesn't shrink, so you pretty much get what you pay for. When I asked why it stays true to size, the guy behind the counter told me that their version is 90% meat and only 10% fat. It's a must stop whenever the grill is lit! read more

Anyone into the Hispanic roots, and not intimidated by spiciness or culture wise,or just open-minded upon even trying tofu chorizo . Would open your mind and your belly for much more. Feel free stop and buy and a bite to eat. Customer service is very attentive and provide all that's needed for a household. I would recommend this to anyone who's around having hard time finding a different aspect of of a culture meal. 5 de Mayo right around the corner for an awsome barbeque. read more

I love their Chorizo! but their costumer service is not that great, makes me not want to go often. The girl covering the front is not very friendly and makes you feel unwelcomed! read more

I have passed by this spot a few times picking up pizza next door. I didnt even realize what they offered even though I was there the first day they opened and on their grand opening. So yesterday going by I actually read the sign and was curious. Very small place, very clean, everything they offer is in glass cooler cold cases. They had a great variety of different chorizos but the one that caught my eye was the green mild. Once I brought it home I had no idea how I was going to cook it or even what to do with it. After going back and forth with my wife rather we make a pasta dish, mashed potatoes, we went with machaca burritos. I decided to clean up my bbq and grill them. They sell them in meter link so I bought one meter. I cut it in about 14 pieces and put them on the top of the grills for 10 minutes at 375*. As they cooked the juices were dripping out the ends into a pie pan I put underneath to catch the jucies. We used the juice to flavor the eggs and potatoes. I ended up slicing them into small coin sized pieces with eggs, potatoes, cheese, and a bit of sour cream. DELICIOUS! The skin was snappy, the meat was tender and spicy. My kids were a bit skeptical considering the green meat until they ate. We ate the entire link which was surprising considering the kids were scared of it. I think next time around we'll make a pasta or Bangers and Mash style. read more

BEST CHORIZO EVER! I mean...c'mon...that's pretty much all they do...so you know it's AMAZING! I've tried all types there and have never been disappointed. I drive from Arcadia just to get my chorizo here! That should tell you about the quality. They also offer great jerky and friendly service. read more

This place has one of the best chorizo ever! Having tried multiple places locally in search of the perfect chorizo has been very difficult until now. I used to go to La Reina or North Gate every weekend for chorizo. Even tried chorizo at multiple of other restaurants. The fresh taste and bold flavors does not compare to Ochoa's Chorizo #2. I am going to have to try their original location in Santa Ana to see if it has the same high quality and taste. Oh! The red salsa goes perfect with their chorizo too! Best combo :) I'm going to be a regular camper at this place for sure! read more

Just came from this place after being so curious since it opened and I gotta say I'm extremely impressed. Wanted chorizo and eggs really bad so decided why not. I came across the "green chorizo" and the lady was super nice and gave me a couple of tips of other ways to eat it but advised me not to add anything to it except salsa or chili. They sell by the meter and $3.75 is the cheapest and could not believe how much I got (picture below). Finally got home to fry up the chorizo and words can't express how amazing it tasted. If you come across this spot I highly recommend grabbing your chorizo from here instead of that paste you get at the super market this stuff actually has meat! Other flavors/spice level/meat available. read more

Ochoa's Chorizo - The green - Grocery Near Me - Anaheim, California

Legit. I learned about this place through a food blog (tomsfoodieblog.com), and it has been on my list of places to try for quite a while. I was finally able to try out Ochoa's legendary chorizo this weekend, and I'm hooked! Their verde chorizo is a little intimidating if you just go based off of how it looks, but the flavor is outstanding! It's a little fresher than the standard chorizo, with a medium heat that builds slowly. The meat is lean, so it doesn't leave a ton of grease in the pan when it's done cooking. You just can't beat this stuff! read more

Can't vouch for the chorizo but the red salsa is yummy and cheap. From what Ive heard from other that have had the sausage, it's really good. Check it out! read more

By far the best chorizo in town! We love the spicy chorizo it has amazing flavor! But beware if you can't handle spicy I would stick with mild. read more

Yum! This place has the best chorizo!! Whenever we bbq we always stop by and pick up 2 meters! It's not greasy at all when you cook it! We've tried all of their flavors and they're ALL delicious. Definitely try this place out! read more

My buddy recommend this place and frankly I wasn't impressed. As they say "To each is own"

This place has the best chorizo in Anaheim! Every time I BBQ it's a must to pick some up. My friends and family request for me to bring some every time we're gonna BBQ. You won't be disappointed. read more

The chicken chorizo was truly delicious. I also got the green pork, which I thought would be my favorite as I usually prefer the less healthy option, & I love green chile, though I'm not sure chicken chorizo would exactly qualify as "healthy" but it was fantastic. read more
