    Carne Asada Marinated Meat
    Araceli Q.

    Yes, the carne asada is amazing! The meat is very good quality and well cut. Amazing hospitality/service and very knowledgeable about product and different ways to prepare their selection of meats.

    We stopped in here because our usual caniceria was out of the way and boy are we glad we did. The shop was the cleanest I have ever seen a meat market. All of the meat on display all looked very fresh. We got the marinated chicken and the marinated carne asada and we looked both! Everything was fairly priced & delicious. The owner and staff were both very kind and chatted with us and helped us decide what to order. I almost forgot, get some of their salsa while you're there!!! You won't regret it. We got the green salsa, but we will be back soon to try the reds.

    10/10 quality meat. very good customer service! We've told a lot of people about this place and they started coming here also

    First time supporting this local meat market and they have in fact mastered their carne asada marinade. We came last weekend and bought around 7 lbs for close to $110 (prime meat) and got to cooking it last night. If you like tender seasoned ranchera meat this place is it. The owners son Mario (I think that's his name) was very helpful and answered all our questions. He also said they have specials they post online lion their socials ! Great business to follow in the greater city of Orange. They were about 15-20 mins away from Disneyland going east.

    Gustavo is great! They have the best meat and highest quality! He is always very friendly and welcoming. We have become regulars here. We are so glad we found a high quality meat market around the corner from us. The market is clean, well kept and all around perfect! Can't recommend this store enough due to their service and quality! Will always come back!

    Best prime meat store of all oc

    Best prime meat of all oc hands down the asada meat is really juicy and tender and don't get me started with the flavoring best seasoning

    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.

    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.

    Best meat market in Orange!! Gustavo and his son are very pleasant and provide such a welcoming vibe. The meat (all prime cut) is A+ quality and at a very fair price point. I picked up asada and chicken today and neither disappointed during a bbq today. This is now my go to spot. I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be able to be the service, quality or price!

    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

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

    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 :)

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

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.
