TM Meat Market is our go-to place for butcher needs and party orders. We recently ordered their Filipino pork barbecue skewers and chicken skewers for my son's graduation party, and they were a huge hit with our guests. The barbecue had great flavor, was well-seasoned, and cooked up perfectly. The staff was friendly and organized, and our order was ready right on time, which made party planning much less stressful. We appreciate the quality of the meat and the reliable service. Highly recommend TM Meat Market for anyone looking for delicious barbecue skewers and quality meats for family gatherings and special events! read more

Was recommended this place and never fails to disappoint! Very popular place so don't be alarmed if you see a line forming before they even open. Meats are sold by the lb and the pre marinated meats and soooo good that people always ask where I buy them from. 10/10. The family working there is always so nice and friendly. I recommend the short ribs, chicken thighs, and tri tip. read more

This shop knows what they're doing for sure. It was fast pace, busy line, and amazing meat selection. Almost cutthroat like if you come at the right time! Line was out the door as the inside is pretty limited, make sure to give some space for people to exit.The crew is in sync and the operations work well for them. Will keep enjoying this place as long as they are around! read more

I decided to BBQ last minute last night. No meat thawed out so naturally, we made a quick run to TM. There is always a great selection of meat to choose from and it's always a hit. We went with some Pork Tocino and Chicken Thighs yesterday. Both delicious and marinated to perfection. You won't be disappointed. There is some pantry items available for sale as well. The service is quick and friendly. The store is located in a busy shopping center but has ample parking available. read more

I see why there was a line. They knew what they were doing when they marinated the meat!! Sooo sooo good and the prices are wonderful! We will be back for sure. read more

First visit to this meat market Clean place. Impressed that there were no flies hanging around since the marinated meats were uncovered. One side of market is Filipino packaged/canned goods. The other side is a meat counter with a good variety of meats to choose from. Line was long for the meats but check out was still fast. Picked up emboditos (Filipino meatloaf) and spicy sardines for my aunt and for me too. I will come back for more meats. read more

If you don't know, you should know! This meat market is fantastic. I love buying all my BBQ from here, and I really appreciate that they have marinated meat! Absolutely worth waiting in line. read more

I love TM! The prices can't be beat and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. My favorite thing to get are the pork skewers ($13.99/dzn) but I know the Korean short ribs are a hit too. For the skewers, they provide a basting sauce but I try not to use too much so my skewers don't get too salty. Baste responsibly!! Make sure you go closer to the morning/early noon so all the good things don't run out! read more

Service is fast, meat is always fresh and marinated well. Everyone enjoys the BBQ every time when we purchase marinated chicken and pork from here. read more

Service is quick and friendly. The place is clean and everything is packaged neatly. I came here bc my brother had a bbq and he purchased the meats here... it was so good! I generally buy a huge portion of both the Korean short ribs and chicken thighs and portion them out accordingly for meal prep. If I don't feel like bbq-ing, I'll throw some in the air fryer and it's delish! 1000/10 recommend! If you order large amounts of meat, they will package it in the silver trays and Saran Wrap the crap outta them to prevent spillage. I def appreciate the thoroughness! read more

Been going here for years to get marinated meat for bbq grilling. They have different types of cut meat, marinated or not. You can visit or call ahead a few days before if you have a special or bulk order but I prefer to go in so I can prepay so I know my order is taken care of and ready the day of pick up. I won't stop coming here for sure. read more

TM Meat Market is one of the best things in Sacramento... Period! Is your bbq really a bbq if you didn't get your meat from TM? The flavor of many family party's, holidays and Manny Pacquiao fights. The line is longer than a Disneyland ride line, especially on holidays. No fault to the employees though, the uncles and aunties work non stop. This is one place I wish I could gate keep. I've met people in line from so many far away places that came to get some short ribs. I don't blame em, the meat and marinade is amazing. Bbq, pan fry, put it in the oven or an air fryer! Anyway you cook it it's going to turn out great. Helpful tip... come on a weekday for less of a wait. read more

Very popular, great selection, Great service, ambiance is a meat market very clean. Great location read more

TM meats is exceptional. I make it a point to arrive at opening time, as their meats tend to sell out quickly. Be prepared for a line upon opening, but rest assured that the staff is consistently courteous. The marinated meats are very convenient which save me time, and I also have the option to purchase non-marinated ones. My personal favorites are the tri-tip and beef short ribs. read more

Love the chicken and p Beef prepared to throw on the grill. Biggest secret discovered Recommend 100% read more

TM Meat Market - Chicken bought prepped ready to grill sold by the pound not the piece - Meat Shops Near Me - Sacramento, California

Large selection of marinated meats. I've been coming here for years, this is an amazing place to get marinated meats for bbq. Staff here are super friendly and it gets busy throughout the day, so don't expect much of a small talk. This seems to be a family owned place. This shop is a bit small, so it can be a bit chaotic when it gets busy. I always try to come right when they open so it's not as busy. I highly recommend pre-ordering or pick up your meat items a few days early to avoid the long line. Few years back, I've tried to pick up some sweet longanisa and some loose pork for mother day weekend. After standing in line for 1.5 hours, it was sold out. Never did that again, the marinated meat freeze well. Overall, you got to try this place! read more

This is the best deal on marinated meats I've seen in the area. Korean ribs at TM are about 10 dollars a lb and at other places like KP or 99 Ranch, you can find the unmarinated 1lb Korean ribs at 12 dollars. I like to come early in the weekends. Sometimes there is a line but it moves pretty quickly. It's in the Filipino shopping mall so after I grab my meats I go and eat at the Seafood City next door. Definitely worth a drive out if you want an easy bbq night with the family with good quality pre-marinated meat. read more

Amazing meats my family loves all the meat especially the short rib so good! Best price in time by far!

Everything. The line was long but went fast , great service nice people working in store.

Their are well known for their filipino sausage longganisa and short ribs. Get there early it sales out fast especially before holidays line is long. People come from all over to get their meat. read more

This place is a local gem located in the seafood city plaza. Their marinated meat selection is top tier and so flavorful when grilled. The workers are so friendly and efficient. I love local mom and pop places. For marinated meat, their prices are competitive. I rather buy Korean short ribs here that's marinated for 8.99 than go to the Asian market and buy it unmarinated for the same price! read more

2lbs of short ribs for $20 gets me through 3 or 4 days. Make yourself some Mac salad and rice and your good in your wallet and stomach. Really easy to make and you won't have to go to a Hawaiian BBQ spot that'll cost you 4x the price read more

Food and service is amazing! You just have to be there right after they open coz there's always a loooong line.

Great selection and great prices!! Our go too since 2004 , whenever we have parties, gatherings or just bbq in our backyard!

I love this place but I just wanted the beef short ribs no seasoning and the lady told me no I couldn't buy it without like my whole thing is why are you a butcher shop and can't sell me short ribs without the seasoning I just didn't understand I was standing in that line for almost 30 minutes just to be told no that was definitely my first worst experience at TM meat read more

Totally forgot about this place! It's been a loooooooooooooong minute since I've been in this shopping center. Drove by TM on the way to Seafood City and Mom and I were talking about how good their meats are. So of course, we had to pick some up. Short ribs are popular so we got those, and I love their pork toccino so we got that as well. So thankful they're still in business and survived the pandemic. I started coming here 10+ years ago and need to remember to back again! read more

Perfect place to come for marinated meats when you're going to or hosting a party. The staff is always friendly. Try to come early on holiday weekends because it does get busy! read more

Part II: The chicken was hit. The flavor was 10/10. I might have forgot to mention in my first review the baby shower party was in Ceres, CA. The meat was sealed. There was a tiny leak in the Saran wrapped disposable trays. I suggest if you are picking up a large order laying a trash bag in the trunk/backseat or cooler. Most of the meats from TM meat market are marinated and the liquid will settle at the bottom of the trays. So many guests complimented the chicken flavor. Pro tip: do not pick up on weekends if you can avoid it. The lines are long and they regularly run out. We picked up our order at noon on Friday and it was pretty empty. Total time in establishment was 10 minutes. read more

After having the best Korean bbq beef short ribs we have ever had at my sister-in-law's for Easter. We asked her where she got her meat and she said here! I decided to pick them up for a barbecue and the line was out the door. So if you plan to go here expect a little bit of a line and a wait but it moves pretty quickly. The location is a small little shop inside of a shopping center. They have various other different types of meat that I would love to try and a few shelves of different sauces and spices but it's mostly just a location for the meat. The staff were friendly and ask you how much you want by the weight since you pay per pound and we will definitely be going here again when we need to meet for another barbecue! read more

I love all the marinated meats. My favorite is the tocino, with its perfect balance of sweetness and savory flavor, and the longganisa, which has a rich, garlicky taste. Highly recommend! Just a warning during the holidays, the lines can be long, but it's worth the wait, so I always order in advance. read more

TM Meat Market - Must check it out. - Meat Shops Near Me - Sacramento, California

The marinated short rib is a bargain. Especially when you're doing it for a big group. And the meat quality is really fresh. We got 1/3 slab of pork belly. It goes so well for barbecue. This shop is buzzling with people in and out. So you know the meat is fresh. read more

Been coming here for years and they never disappoint. The meat are fresh and we always order their korean bbq tri tips and short ribs to cook. I trust that their meats are clean too because this little shop is always clean. Everyone is super nice and feels like you're part of the family. read more

PSA!!!! Today's line was long because of graduation. Been in line for about 20mins and counting already and honestly, it's worth the wait. The short ribs here are awesome! See photo for closure dates for May. I was here at 10:15a and the line was already long. Plan accordingly this weekend read more

TM Meat Market - Prices as of 4/5/2024 - Meat Shops Near Me - Sacramento, California

I was recently re introduced to TM. The meats here are great. It's a hit every time. Our most favorite is the tri tip.

Been picking up their marinated meat for the last few weeks. All of them are good, especially the tri tip! Seems like there's always a line on Saturdays but it moves quick. read more

There's usually a line, but it moves pretty quickly. We've tried several of the marinated meats here, but the loose marinated pork is our favorite--it's incredibly flavorful. You'll often see people carrying out trays of meat, which makes sense given how tasty and convenient it is. Definitely worth the wait! read more

If you've never been a guest in a Filipino person's home... Lola (the matriarch) won't say, "Hello" or "How are you?" She will say, "Did you eat yet? You go eat now!" You best listen to Lola before she rips the gigantic wooden fork off her wall and comes after you! J/k. "Did you eat yet?" is the Filipino way of saying "Hello" and to show their hospitality. I haven't been to my Filipina coworker's house but she often comes into my office offering food; adobo, menudo, kaldereta, pancit, turon, etc. She recently came in and asked, "Want some Embutido?" I have childhood memories of Embutido: Filipino Meatloaf tasting dry AF and crumbly. During family gatherings, I would cover it with my crumpled used napkin so whoever made (or bought) it wouldn't know I didn't finish it. :T So, I politely declined. "No, you have to try it!" "Ok, just a tiny bite." Well that "tiny bite" turned into several more "tiny bites"..... Followed by "OMG, can you please make more?!" The Embutido was rich, savory, and moist with raisins, relish, and worcestershire adding a deliciously tangy sweet bite. There's even some cheese because you know Filipinos love to make it extra artery-clogging. The texture is more sausage-y than meatloaf-y. And, there's no hard boiled egg or hot dogs in the middle. I prefer it this way. Just purely addictive porky goodness. Everyone who tried it at work went cray over it. Turns out this Embutido is from TM Meat Market in Sac. After I raved about it, my other coworker who has a weekend house nearby was kind enough to buy me three loaves ($6 each) to take home. The Embutido is steamed in foil and sold fully cooked. If you're not able to enjoy it within a couple of days, freeze it. When you're ready to use the Embutido, thaw it, wrap the loaf in wet paper towels, microwave it for about 2-3 minutes (depending on the power of your microwave), then slice it. Or, you can steam it to keep it extra moist but I'm too impatient. Embutido is usually eaten with steamed rice and banana ketchup. You can also make mini sandwiches with pan de sal (Filipino bread rolls). I like to make Ssämbap-style Korean rice lettuce wraps with sushi rice and pickled red onions (didn't have kimchi on-hand) to make it seem a little "healthier". Whatever you choose to eat the Embutido with, it doesn't matter because it's BOMB. TM Meat Market hands down makes the BEST Embutido I've had! read more
