But I still went ahead and purchased some carne asada 'cause what the heck, I'm gonna cook it ;) and I gotta say we all loved it. Maybe it came from that same cow in the back :) because it tasted great (and no one got sick :). Just your basic south-of-the-border-style meat store brought to Rosamond.

I would hope that a market with "Carniceria" translated into English "meat market" would have the…read moreSouth-o-the-Border meat cuts. Actually over the years, I believe due to new management, really spruced up the store. What I like about it is that the meat is fresh often slaughtered locally. The butcher, his sister and mother are very friendly recommending recipes if you don't happen to know how to cook something. I slow cook the country style ribs at 350 degrees for 3 1/2 hours; then grill and slather BBQ sauce all over. It's heaven: pot roast on a bone! Their Rancheria cut for Carne Asada is awesome--most and tasty!!. I always have them marinade the meats. Costs a bit more/pound, but well worth it!! Most beef is around $5/pound, but some slightly more or less. Much better than Albertsons and is fresh.

Awesome service !!l they have the best meat in the whole Antelope valley . Juliana was the bestread more

Dear Gonzalez Meat Market Management,…read more I am writing to formally bring to your attention a concerning experience I had at your Lancaster, California location. My intent is to make you aware of several issues related to both food safety practices and customer service, as these are matters that directly impact public health and customer trust. First, I observed what appeared to be serious health code violations. During my visit, a staff member handled raw meat and then proceeded to touch other surfaces without properly washing or sanitizing their hands. Specifically: - Raw meat was transported from a neighboring location and handled in a way that created a risk of cross-contamination. - The individual handling the raw meat also handled the exterior of the bag, which can transfer bacteria. - Afterward, the same staff member touched cash from the register, soda cans, and prepared food items without changing gloves or washing hands. This sequence of actions raises concerns about cross-contamination and food safety, especially since customers directly consume these items. Secondly, I would like to address the customer service experience. At the time of my visit, there appeared to be insufficient staffing, with only one chef and one cashier managing a high volume of customers. As a result: - There were approximately 20 customers waiting, and service was significantly delayed (around 20 minutes or more). - Several customers ahead of me were still waiting when a customer who ordered after me received her food first, despite placing a larger order. - My order was simple (four carne asada tacos and Mexican rice), yet it took longer than expected without clear communication. Additionally, I was informed that the grill was down, which contributed to the delay. While I understand that unexpected issues can occur, this was not communicated proactively, and there was no effort made to accommodate or compensate for the inconvenience. I had requested grilled onions and grilled jalapeños, and given the delay and circumstances, it would have been a considerate gesture to provide these at no additional cost. Instead, I was charged and met with an unprofessional attitude when I raised concerns. Overall, the combination of potential health code violations and poor customer service created an experience that was both disappointing and concerning. I hope you take this feedback seriously and implement corrective measures to ensure proper food handling procedures and improved customer service moving forward. This place has strong potential, but a few operational improvements would really elevate the customer experience. During busy hours, more staffing and a clearer order system would help reduce long waits and ensure customers are served in the correct order. I'd also recommend reinforcing basic food safety practices like preventing cross-contamination between raw meat handling, cash handling, and food prep, as well as keeping the grill consistently running during service hours to avoid delays. Lastly, when delays happen, small gestures like complimentary items or waiving small add-ons can go a long way in maintaining customer satisfaction and loyalty. Sincerely, B. Orona Blackshire

A few months ago Maharlika opened their new Filipino restaurant. This was my second visit with…read moredelicious authentic food and amazing service! The restaurant is attached to the market. The owner did a great job with the design and the big screean TVs. This is very important to me, you can tell when a restaurant uses clean oil to fry their lumpia!! One of the best lumpias I've had from a Filipino restaurant! If you're not sure what one of their items are, ask for a sample so you can taste it to see if you like it. Their pork bbq recipe is fire! Pancit bihon is excellent! I enjoyed the bicol express, the tortang talong, along with all the dishes. And every Friday they have lechon. Another reason why I like this restaurant so much, is it's not just the food it's the service. The lady who takes your order is very kind! Definitely we will be back again, as this is our new favorite Filipino restaurant for the AV!

From the get go it smelled divine. Baaaaabbby, I could hardly wait to get home to try them. They were outstanding, and the shrimps were huge a maybe more like a prawn. It was absolutely a 10 out of 10. My son does not eat fried shrimp, and he devoured them. I'll definitely be back in the near future, and can't wait to try their fish with the head.
