Visit this meat market all the time & never have any issues…read more The staff is very friendly and try their hardest to understand you if your someone who doesn't speak Spanish like myself. The inside is clean and always fully stocked of everything. The meat selection is huge and they have great prices! If you feeding a large group this is definitely the place to go. They also have a restaurant inside that sells Mexican drinks, fruit cups, etc. Everything is fresh! The fruit cup is usually my go to and I never leave disappointed. *They always have a police officer on duty, don't worry it's for the safety of the store items. Unfortunately they do have quiet a few people that steal items. The officer on duty is always nice though! *Don't forget your fruit cup!

We asked them to heat them up and still came out cold and cheese wasn't melted. The menudo also came out cold and seemed old. The honeycomb tripe was tough and not fresh.

It's a small mom and pop grocery store that serves burgers and fries along with other items. But I had to try the burger. I'm glad I did cuz it was freaking good. Bun was toasted, fixings were fresh and the patty was cooked perfectly with the right seasoning. Fries are crinkle cut Ore Ida style like the ones you get at Burger Boy . The dining area is also a bar that has loud music from a jukebox that's modern. And the $12 price tag isn't a huge dent in the wallet. Parking can be a bit of a pain since it's limited cuz there's no parking lot and you're forced to park on the little side street off Castroville Rd but don't let that be a deterrent. The service was friendly too.

I refer to this location as "Mexico" simply because it encompasses everything in such a small…read morespace, as one I have experienced along a Bordertown. Produce. A mini panaderia. Produce. Dairy. It's truly meant for the shopper whose shopping is not so involved. Trust me sometimes going to HEB when I just need a few things can be a pain. I usually come here on early Sunday mornings for their barbacoa and it's really good. Or maybe you need meats for a backyard barbecue with your crazy family. I always consult "El Rey De Carne" here and he will cut up steaks for you. I must confess I couldn't cook to save my life. That's why I always buy a package of their tortillas, which are great for the week. They carry items I rarely see around the city. For example I seldom see Crema Oaxacan at H.E.B. Which makes finding alternatives problematic. They also carry bollio bread which reminds of the ones I used to buy at Sorianas in Laredo. They are perfect for tortas or sandwiches. I've read reviews where customers say the counter workers are not the most friendliest people. Maybe there is some truth to that. However in my experience it is probably a cultural misunderstanding rather than having to do with service. For example, I have bought herbs from a Mexican yerbia in a fleamarket before expecting niceties. Only to be shrugged away after a purchase. I believe patrons who frequent bigger supermarkets will notice a subtle difference. I will say the older checkout clerks tend to be more genial and hospitable. I neglected to mention that they have a mini-food place inside that makes good tacos, breakfast and lunch plates. I must relay this story before I wrap up my review. A while back I had a nagging cough that would not go away. We asked the counter person if she knew of a homeopathic remedy that could help ease some of symptoms. She put together a mixture of Mexican oregano, laurel and other herbs to create a tea, to be replicated at home. I called her my "Brujita." After I drank it I felt much better. When I returned to thank her a few days later she no longer was there. I do like coming to this place. The only critique I have is that some of the prices are high. I can only speculate as tariffs rise this might affect patronage. I will continue to support this business. And someday I'm going to order those papa con huevo tacos I saw the cook make whilst getting my Sunday barbacoa. Why can't I have both?

They come in regular, XL, and XXL sizes, the regular & XL are wrapped in corn husks, whereas the XXL are wrapped in banana leaves, which I love as a Puerto Rican because the flavor it adds is incredible, almost smoky. I usually grab mine at the Pearl Farmers Market, but you can also order them online; trust me, they're worth it!
