Meat Market
We offer USDA Choice beef, freshly packed chicken, and tender pork cuts daily. Our selection includes Mexican specialties like lengua and barbacoa, with meat sourced from trusted local suppliers. Every cut is prepared by expert butchers for optimal freshness and flavor.

Found what a friend wanted at the price I wanted to pay. Very happy I went. Definitely not used to all the circles so you don't have to stop, so I made a boo-boo and got honked at. Will try harder during daylight hours so I don't get lost!

If you want delicious (like home made) tamales you better come here. They are made daily, both red and green. Very sabroso (tasty)!! If I are used to bland food don't come here for tamales! These are savory with a little heat (red), the green are a bit spicy for ya'll whimps!!) lol

The gentleman who works at Ace hardware area was very helpful and courteous. Having a grocery store and a hardware store in the same building is a great convenience. I was in and out of the store in minutes.

Great selection of very reasonably priced meats and dinner combos already matched up so you don't have to walk all around the store. Products from both sides of the border. And its never been crowded.

This place is the best to buy groceries and they have specials. This place is not too crowded it is very organized and neat. Also the line to get burritos is long but they are low on staff so it is completely understandable why the line to burritos is long.
