    Gus L.

    After work the other day, I stopped by Ramona Carnicería for the first time because I was in Orange County and wanted to try something different. I usually buy all my meat from my local carnicería near home and honestly I'm pretty loyal to it, so I wasn't expecting to be impressed this much. As soon as I walked in, I met Gustavo, the owner, and he immediately took time to explain the different cuts and answer every question I had. I was looking for carne asada and told him my regular meat market cuts it much thicker. He recommended the ranchera carne asada instead and explained why thinner cut works better, cooks faster, and gives better flavor. He even marinated all 5 pounds for me right there on the spot. The price was very fair, and while I was there I also grabbed produce since they pretty much have everything in one place, which made it really convenient. When I got home, I threw it on the Blackstone for my family, and honestly, the meat came out excellent. It cooked perfectly, was easy to chew, very tender, and the marinade had incredible flavor. Whatever he used, it worked. To be completely honest, this is one of the best meat markets I've been to in a long time. Gustavo's customer service stood out just as much as the quality of the meat. I'll definitely be back for more meat and next time I'm trying the chicken too.

    Carne Asada!! Gustavo, the man, the myth, the legend.

    Gustavo is the man!!! Best carne asada in Orange County. Quality meat and shows you the strips and the marbling while cutting / prepping the meat!!

    Ribeye and Picanha here is the best and so is the value! Love the friendly customer service :)

    The picanha and ribeye here are delicious! The price is great as well. Love the customer service :)

    Marinated beef Ranchera

    This is a new butcher shop that's come to town and this is a game changer. We bought several different kinds of cuts, ranging from a tomahawk to Ranchera and we even tried the different salsa that they had. Everything was excellent. It was not over salted it was seasoned to perfection. The salsa was layered with a variety of flavors We just found our new butcher... Give it a try and you won't be disappointed

    The meat quality here is the BEST!! I'm so happy we found this place close to home. We've gone twice just in just the past week for two parties. The customer service is great and the shop is super clean.

    Owner of Ramona Carnicería is great. The service and attention to detail is top notch. Quality of the meat is great. Pricing is very fair and less than other places with similar meat quality. Highly recommend stopping by to pick up your meats here.

    So much cheeeeeese

    This place just opened. It was previously on the corner of Tustin and Grove. The location might have changed but their quality of meats and chicken are still amazing! This has been our go to place for quite some time now so of course we followed them to their new location. This is a family owned small business and the service has always been great. You always get treated like family when you stop by. It's definitely a hidden gem. Definitely worth a try, you won't be disappointed.

    2 GIGANTIC ribeyes, reverse seared and rubbed with pepper and herbs. Amazing.

    Don't go anywhere else. Go see my main man Gustavo. Best meat at the best prices. Will be going back for the third time in as many weeks this Friday, mom wanted a big cookout for her birthday and this is the only place to go. Store is clean, guys behind the counter rule, you will not be disappointed.

    The BEST Carne Asada in Orange County!

    If you're in Orange County and love authentic carne asada, you NEED to check out Ramona Carniceria in Orange. Hands down the BEST carne asada I've had anywhere -- perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of flavor every single time. You can taste the quality and care they put into their meat. What truly makes this place special though is Gus, the owner. He is one of the kindest, most welcoming people you'll ever meet. He treats everyone like family and clearly takes pride in what he does. That kind of customer service is rare these days, and it keeps me coming back again and again. Whether you're planning tacos, a BBQ, or just want amazing quality meat, this is THE spot. Ramona Carniceria is a hidden gem and absolutely worth the trip. Highly, highly recommend!

    Recently moved by. I would go to La Carneceria and decided to give this place a try. They have good quality meat, the place is clean, the price is great, and the service is great. Talking with Gustavo was a very nice experience. I would recommend to come here!

    The half hour drive won't deter me one bit from coming back. And that's half an hour both ways. :-D…read more All the parking spaces in the front were full but along the building to the right there were a lot more spaces. Nice and wide too. This place might be bigger than you think, like it was for me. Even though it was Memorial Day weekend, on a Saturday no less, the place was absolutely packed but it was still super clean and all items were neatly arranged as well. I picked out one each of Prime Ribeye, Prime NY Strip and Prime Filet. Didn't cook them till Sunday night and they cooked up super flavorful, juicy and tender. They even have prepared food to go here and after getting my meat order the butcher was kind enough to offer me samples of the Ranch Chicken Wings, Habanero Wings, and the Birria. All of them were really good but the Birria melted in my mouth. I think I just looked at the butcher and said Wow, waited a bit, then said Wow two more times. Forget the local restaurants. If I'm ever in the area looking for a place to eat, I wouldn't hesitate to come in here and get that food-to-go. PS. Even the driver that blocked me from getting over to the exit, forcing me to the next exit, which made me drive miles out of my way, couldn't erase how good this place is. And those food samples were just the icing on the cake. Speaking of icing, I gotta track down some cake now. :-P

    After eating at several Argentinian restaurants recently, I've been on a chimichurri kick. I have…read moretried chimichurri sauces from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's but they aren't really very authentic. A friend recommended seeing what El Gaucho might have, so I visited the next day. The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.

Never had a Milanese sandwich, so no idea what to expect. To me the sandwich lacked a little flavor so used the sauce from the empanada on it.

Not sure i would go out of my way to eat here but if I crave empanadas I would get the beef again.
