Trying Bar 3 Ranch meat had been on our family's bucket list for years, and finally, this past…read moreOctober, we managed to snag a half cow for this spring. When our date got closer, Jeff sent over the final weight for our share, and it caught me off guard because it was so much bigger than the past shares we've gotten through other local farms. As it turns out, there's a reason. When we picked up our meat, we found Jeff excited to share how he raises and feeds his cows and why, ultimately, his meat is far superior. (He didn't say as much, but as you can see by the photo, it's incredibly clear that there's no comparison.) We learned more about the care and feeding of cows that afternoon than we thought possible but we loved every minute. He was also great with our kids, taking them to see and pet his horses. Afterwards, he even called me to share his favorite recipe for flanken ribs. But how does it TASTE, you ask? As a reformed 25+ year vegetarian, I can't stand the smell of most grassfed beef that has come into this house. (We've done multiple cow shares before through other ranches, all the same - the smell is nauseating.) Bar 3 Ranch, though... totally different. There is NO gamey smell, no gamey taste and my husband gives me the side eye now because he has to share his steaks with me. It's GOOD. Like, REALLY GOOD. Words are probably not going to do this justice, so I'm attaching a photo of the difference between Jeff's meat and our last half cow from another/local ranch. There is just no comparison.

I picked up a quarter of a steer this morning and I am so excited. I went to the ranch and Jeff was…read moreso great to chat with. He explained all the unique things he learned in Argentina on how to properly raise cows. I could have listened to him talk about it for hours. The meat looks incredible and the marbling is amazing. I can't wait to cook something up this evening! I would highly recommend getting your beef from Bar 3 Ranch!!

Like all good Texans we like steaks. So when we had a chance to try these authentic Wagyu Gold…read moreRib-Eyes we got a sous-vide cooker, got some good red wine and invited some friends over. The steaks are phenomenal. Over 1 inch thick, beautifully marbled. They are grass fed and organic. We cooked them sous vide and then finished on the charcoal grill. My god, they were delicious. Every guest loved the steaks and more than one said these were the best steaks they have had in a long time. Juicy, flavorful, and like all authentic Wagyu should, the fat melts quickly and provides incredible flavor. Then we learned Colinas sells all kind of Wagyu, Prime, and other steaks including seasoned and pre-cooked meat form their sister company Takavron, which is a food truck. They also sell chicken, fish, some produce, and essentials like tortillas! Plus. they are local. They will deliver for free any order over $75. If you like steak, you need to give these guys a try.

They do have. a restaurant inside so you can order yourself some tacos. The meat market has a variety of meats. Their fajita was $9.99. You think man that is expensive. However, they are a dollar cheaper than Costco. They match with H-E-B prices with the chicken going for .99 cents a pint the day I walked in here with my wife. All the staff were friendly. They primarily speak Spanish here. But I do believe they speak English as well if you need to asked for something in English. All their produce look fresh and great selection I must say. Overall spacing between the aisles were tight and the store is small compared to the rest of the Mexican Markets in the area. But don't let that detour from shopping here if need something you cannot find at the bigger stores or if you're looking for a bargain with todays highly inflated meat prices. Plenty of parking in the private parking lot.

The carnitas were tender and perfectly seasoned, the fajitas were juicy, and the menudo was exactly what you want, rich, comforting, and authentic. The guacamole and salsa are freshly made. Best part? All of that was under $50. The staff is always friendly and they recognize their regulars, which makes it feel like a true neighborhood spot.
