This is a fantastic, highly-variety butcher. I have previously visited this place for several cuts, including the pork belly and steak. Everything tasted great, especially the steak's marbeling! Without a doubt, we'll return to try more stuff. read more

Great service, awesome and friendly staff and makes killler breakfast burritos! Love coming here

Not only is this a great meat market that will cut you meat to order at what ever thickness you want but they make great salsa and have a food truck in the parking lot with the best tacos in santa cruz County. Also the chile relleno burrito is absolutely delicious if you can get one because they are normally sold out. read more

Arghhh. The meat! The takeaway ribs! This place has the best marinated meats. I'm sure it's just run of the mill seasonings but you don't know how good it is to buy some pre seasoned meats. It soothes my tired in my bones mom soul. My husband bought some meat and FORGOT to get it seasoned and I sent his ass right back after some words at the front door. Sorry sweetie! But thank you Soquel Quality Meat Market. This made our Juneteenth beach bbq. The staff is friendly, they work hard, the store is packed with products. What's not to love. Maybe the parking sucks but other than that this place is awesome. read more

Stopped in just to pick up a drink this morning. Was completely ignored by employees. 2 men working behind the meat counter. Walked the whole store so I know they saw me. Took my drink to the register and waited, and waited. Finally left. read more

This meat market is the best I've had the pleasure of visiting in Santa Cruz! They have a great selection of meats, and the butchers are friendly and know their cuts well. read more

We just checked out this place for the first time. We got enough chicken to grill for 5 people, bag of chips and house made guacamole for less than $10. It's a total steal. The marinade on the chicken was delicious too. Most the chips were just standard. I think a fifth star could be earned for some fried on site? But, otherwise we will be back. Also, noticed a sign up for Organic turkeys avail for Thanksgiving. If I were cooking I would snag one here. read more

I honestly can't recommend this place enough! My favorite meat store. The owner Artemio is amazing super friendly and helpful and always giving tips on the best way to cook your meat and also has the best seasoning in town. Staff is always super friendly that's a plus. The store is pretty small but definitely worth the meat. They also have a food truck that you won't regret especially their chicharron meat bomb!!! read more

"I was a vegetarian*- Soquel Quality Meats got me back to eating beef pork chicken and fish again!! I can afford them and the quality is superb. They just last week updated their meat coolers. Looks beautiful! Always friendly - providing prompt service. Three butchers at times, when needed. Organic Rosie Petaluma Organic chickens for $1.99 /lb. I've been paying as much as three times that! Ask about their special deals. Last month they sold beef fillet mignon for $6/lb. Try their smoked pork chops for breakfast. Yum! Ok that's enough. Go there, you will eat well! *this is not true. I was not a vegetarian. read more

Best local meat market around. I know the family and they pride themselves on bringing you the highest of quality items. Super friendly and helpful staff. read more

Bought a few rib steaks here the other day. Not sure where this place gets their meats, but I must tell you the steaks had an off flavor, sort of gamey, hard to describe and tough. Barbecued them and the lack of marbling was obvious. For what I paid, was not what I was expecting with all the rave reviews this place gets. I have one steak left and will cube it up now for chili, don't think it will survive the barbecue by itself as it has zero marbling and don't want to deal with another tough, chewy and stringy steak. Sadly, will go elsewhere in the future. read more

The Chili Lime skirt steak is by far the best product that has hit my grill in Santa Cruz. Turned a co- worker on to the meat shop, he totally agreed and when back the next day for more!

The Porte House steak I got smells when I got home. I have to throw it away. Very disappointed. Not recommended

I live right up the street from the shop and come in frequently, the meat prices are usually way better than nobb hill or safeway and everything is pretty good quality. The cashier is always very sweet and works fast when a line starts to form read more

The owner Art, is super friendly and is always around. Great prices for great quality meat. I recommend trying the chicken teriyaki.

Picked up a few NY Steaks and a couple Rib Eyes. Nice cuts, skilled butchers. I'll be back for sure

I am always looking for great MexiCAN food. I found another spot in the most unlikely place: Soquel, CA. It does not look like much when you walk in but wait until you try the burritos, tacos, tortas or the specials. Very reasonable price for being in the middle of Santa Cruz County. I had the al pastor super burrito as well as a milanesa torta. They were both great. All of these items were less than $13...Great spot... read more
