Wendy B.

Now that I have tasted a few different meats from their butchery, I am ready and willing to tell the world what my perception of Su Carniceria is. And it is all good. Walking in for the first time, I was surprised at how small the actual store is. There is the meat counter, a small refrigerated section for good looking, fresh produce, and a few metal rack shelves carrying dry goods and other essentials for a complete meal. The butcher does his magic in the back, behind a wall. But who can take their adoring eyes off the gorgeous prime grade meats that fill the case here. Moving several steps toward the back, the great selection of marinated beef and chicken thighs, the chicken al pastor, and 3 types of chorizo, from mild to melt-the-paint, spicy hot, caught my eye. The butcher explained that the marinated beef is the same quality as their beautifully marbled steaks, not the tough cuts like other stores. Yes! And the prices? Assume that prime ain't cheap. But honestly, comparing their prices with other local carnicerias offering the same prime grade, they seemed to be about equal, if not a little cheaper. The marinated meats are far more budget-friendly and in line with other local butcheries. So the final test was in the tasting, and *that* we did over the span of a few days. We stuck with the prepared meats, the chicken and beef, and frankly I was very impressed even though Mr. B chose to sear them on a griddle rather than take them outside to the bbq. Well, it *was* January after all. Both developed a lovely char, yet stayed very moist, and honestly evoked eye-rolling moans of delight. Far better, I thought, than my usual carniceria close by. As for the chorizo, mine (the mild version, of course) is still waiting in the freezer for it's day to shine, so no comment, yet. I am really looking forward to becoming a regular patron here, and I made sure my two adult children, who are both so lucky to live much closer than I, know of my stamp of approval. Turn on your GPS to find them. Their biggest misfortune is that they are hidden in a small strip mall with an unobstructed view of the eastbound 91 freeway, at the Pierce Street offramp. I think this is a great find!

Overrated personally didn't like the marinade too sweet
Edgar ..

Lot of people been raving about this location. Wanted to try it out. Good quality meat but personally, I didn't like it marinade that they put on the chicken and meat is way too sweet.

Marinated short Ribs

The best of the best in the game by far! From the service to the quality of the meat and the marinade, oof! I've had other top quality meat markets but I always find myself coming back to Su Carnicería!

So delicious! The quality of meat is amazing. This place was recommended by a family friend and I must admit totally worth it. The drive here is 45-50 minutes but I will make it every time we need carne asada for a special occasion. The meat always tastes delicious. The employees are always friendly and there is never a long wait. I love that they have a section with products only available in Mexico. Very clean and they always good music to set the party mood.

Tasajo and Riblets

Amazing. First time trying this place. Normally go to La carneceria. But I found my new spot! SO TENDER!!! Great flavor. Good thickness on the cuts! Local Fireman I will recommend this to all my crew. Thank you!!!

Super clean shop. Lots of small groceries here too, snacks, candies, vegetables for cooking meat.

Amazing carne, the people are great. They literally have the best chorizo I've ever had. The pineapple & habanero is fire, the ranchera is super high quality. Love this place..

The meat here is DELISH!! Got it for my husband's birthday party, everyone absolutely loved it! It's such a tiny space but the staff is quick to help and serve your meat in a tray if you prefer, which I did. I can't wait to go back, worth every penny! I failed to take a photo while grilling, next time for sure!

So much bomb meat!
Jizelle O.

Amazing quality meat that tastes bomb! The flavor is so good and consistent every time. Definitely recommend the Carne Asada and Short Ribs but they also have so many different kinds of meat. They also sell tortillas, cheese, salsa, guac, really good Mexican chips and other things at the shop. Pricey but worth it. Really clean, good service and consistent. Love this spot!

Seasoned ribs. Yummy!

The meat quality and the cleanliness of the store deserve 5 stars--no question…read more But the customer service? Absolutely trash. Honestly, it felt straight-up racist. My husband bought 10 lbs of meat from another location for our taco Sunday and we loved it, so we came back--this time to this location since it's closer to home. We ordered chicken for tacos and wanted to try some wings too. I asked for 6 wings... and the worker literally laughed at me. Then he called his coworker over, said something in Spanish, and just walked away like we weren't worth his time. What exactly is wrong with ordering 6 big wings? We are a small family... Do I need to drop $100 every visit just to be treated with basic respect? Why do i wanna get so much food then waste it if i cant finish? I was pissed, but I didn't want to make a scene, so we paid and left. But yeah--definitely not coming back.

I always get Al Pastor and Pollo Preparada. I have tried the carne Picada a few times but find it to be tough to eat with extra fat, which isn't found in their other taco meats. They have other specials on their meats M-Th and it's different each day. My favorite has to be the Prime Rib Eye steak. The most flavorful and buttery steak ever, and ranges about $20 per steak, depending on thickness. I have also tried their Asada (which is good) and Tesajo. The first few times I tried their Tesajo it was tender and delicious. The last few times it has been tough and hard to chew. I'm not sure what has changed with this meat. They also have a small selection of cheeses, salsas, tortillas and larger selection of spices/rubs. I recently bought two Reserva Premium blends and I'm enjoying them. My favorite salsa is their Verde and they have minimal ingredients added with great flavor, which is excellent! Customer service varies. Not sure if Annabelle still works here but she was always so friendly and helpful. The butchers are always very helpful, but many times the ladies checking you out won't even look at you and aren't very inviting. I'm still getting good products so it's just something worth mentioning. Lastly, if you go on any holiday you can expect a line out the door. My recommendation is go the day before, if possible, or you can even call in your order. Enjoy!

This was my first time going through the whole custom cutting process, and I was really impressed. The team was very helpful when they called me about cut options -- they walked me through everything clearly. When I went to pick everything up, the meat came back beautifully vacuum sealed and professionally labeled. Everything was super clean, organized, and easy to store. They even helped me bag it all up and load the boxes into my vehicle, which was a huge plus! One small thing to be aware of: I arrived during posted business hours and the shop was empty, but there was a note on the door to call. I called, and a friendly employee drove down and met me about 20-30 minutes later. No big deal -- I just walked over and grabbed breakfast at one of the neighboring Mexican restaurants while I waited. I didn't personally choose Leon's (my rancher/5 Bar Beef did), but I was completely satisfied with the overall experience and would definitely recommend them if you're having beef (or any other meat) custom cut.
