To celebrate a family birthday, I decided to do what every good gathering deserves, fire up the grill and make the meal something memorable. Wanting the best ingredients possible, I made the trip to pick up fresh cuts of meat and chorizo, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of the day. From the moment the meat hit the grill, you could tell the quality was there. The cuts cooked beautifully, juicy, rich, and deeply flavorful. Each bite had that unmistakable taste that only truly fresh meat delivers. But the real standout was the chorizo. Perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of spice and richness, it brought a bold, satisfying flavor that elevated the entire barbecue. If I had one regret, it would be not buying more of the chorizo. It disappeared quickly, which is usually the clearest sign that something was done right. Beyond the food itself, being in that part of the valley added something special to the experience. The familiar surroundings brought back a wave of memories, making the celebration feel even more meaningful. Great food has a way of doing that, bringing people together while reminding you of the places and moments that matter. In the end, the barbecue delivered exactly what a birthday celebration should: excellent food, great company, and a strong sense of nostalgia. read more

Amazing service. Chorizo is delicious. Good pricing on every item. Asada and Ribblets are seasoned perfect for flavor

Service is absolutely horrible, the butchers kept one skipped over like me I was invisible. Sorry that I am not Hispanic but you should treat everyone the same. read more

My brother told me about this place and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I went to purchase ranchera meat and it was so tender and yummy. I noticed the guacamole when I walked in and definitely had to purchase one. It was delicious! I will be back and will be a repeat customer. THANK U! read more

Delicious prepared Asada and chorizo! Bbq'd both and flavor was great. I would recommend!

However you want to call this place, it is always on point with the in house made chorizo ! the chicken one is always moist and a hit for those who don't like to eat Pork/Beef. The service is always friendly and quick, and the variety of offerings seems to grow by the day. Parking can be a bit tricky, but people are in and out quick.The carnitas and chicharrones are one of my go to snacks for the drive home. A typical carniceria with lots of sauces and a real nice pre-marinated carne asada. read more

Our favorite place to buy our meat for carne asadas! My family knows when we order from ziggys ! They are always busy but the line moves really fast. Parking can be a bit tricky when it's super full but you'll still find something read more

You got carne? I know I do. And I get it from Ziggy's. This neighborhood gem has been serving up the best chorizo, ranchera and other cuts of carne before I was born. My whole family and local friends have been coming here for decades to get the best ranchera you can find anywhere. I live across the street from here so of course I do too. Ziggy's also has some produce and other grocery items as well. Picked up some ingredients for papita con huevo. Later on I'll be making kakita con pdo. - Ranchera here is a must. I have been to a few carnicerias around town and no one has it as good as Ziggy's. It's always tender, trimmed with little to no fat. Seasoning is perfect although I wish they still added more onions to it. - Chorizo is top tier chorizo. Other people who know come from a long ways away just to get it here. I used to not like the chorizo as much due to the cinnamon in the seasoning that threw me off a bit but I think they toned it down a bit. Its delicious. - Guacamole is made fresh and in my opinion the best you can get. It's pricey but very flavorful. - Secret move. If you get chuletas de puerco for the grill, get them with adobada. Trust. read more

This is truly a one stop shop. I visited this weekend and they have a big variety of meats, chicken and chorizo. And if you are craving something to snack on, they also sell chicharron. It is also a convenience store/mini market which means you can shop for your groceries to complete your carne asada needs. Even if there is a line, don't worry as they are very efficient at helping customers. Don't be shy to ask questions they love to share the knowledge. You are greeted as you walk in to make you feel welcomed. Will be coming back. read more

Placed order on a Thursday for pick up on Saturday. In and out quick. Everything was delicious. Hard to beat this place.

If you're from The Valley you know Ziggys. Always fresh quality meat. I only buy my meat from here, I can't go back to buying meat anywhere else. Service is to the point, the butchers are well mannered but you need to be ready with your order, they are always busy especially on the weekend. read more

Everything carniceria is good beware of guys there always put more meat of whatever you order if you ask 1lb of what ever they will give 2lb it's like they don't listen all them do same thing ! Beware read more

I stopped by Ziggy this morning to get some ranchera carne and chicken. My wife really loves the way they marinate the carne and chicken here. The best advice to avoid the long line is to come early or when they just open like I did. It's street parking but if you come in the morning, you should find a spot easily. They already had a line before the store officially open. They also speak English too so that was great for me. I got a total of 8 pounds of ranchera asada and 4 pounds of chicken. The staff here are very nice and you can have small talk while they prepare your meat. I also had to get some tomatoes and green chilies that my wife wanted for the salsa. They have other stuff here as well so they just aren't a meat place. You're paying for quality here so its not cheap. read more

Great place for your carne asada needs, also try the chorizo, chicharron and dont forget the guacamole fire.

The 2 stars are for customer service only. The meat and produce are always fresh. Meat is super tasty. Store is clean. Customer service is lacking. Today, the guy with a beard didn't even greet me. To the owner, I understand you guys are busy, but greeting your customers only takes a second. We are paying for great, not mediocre service. Remember, we can give our business to anyone. Train your cashiers in better customer service and you'll keep your customers happy. read more

Oh and try the el comal caramelada tortillas they are so good as well as Garciana. read more

Our first time at Ziggy's we asked for the rib-let's. When they shave down the ribs we asked to be seasoned. Once we were done cooking and started to eat EVERYONE was spitting tiny pieces of the shave bones! It was so embarrassing. Never again will I stop by here again. read more
