Aurora's Chorizo

So I buy Aurora's chorizo every year for my family's pototo and chorizo taco tradition on Christmas morning. I used to go to the one in Santa Ana and was sooo happy when they opened this location. Aurora's is seriously the BEST chorizo around - I have tried a few others and nope, not even close. They are also so nice and always beyond helpful. Just a great family business that sells an awesome product! HIGHLY recommend!

Went to the store in Santa Ana on Main street. Bought just one link of the semi-spicy chorizo to try it. It was great...not only the flavor, but also the texture was great. Great mouth feel. I cooked it with the casing on, in a frying pan on top of my stove starting with a little water and then kept cooking after the water evaporated. I cooked it too much, probably, but did want it well done...being pork and all. I'll be buying more. Going to try the mild and maybe the very spicey versions next. BTW these areOTHING like the kind you buy wrapped in plastic in WalMart or other stores. Those are much more "liquid" and almost like spicy gravy. They have their place, but hese are real sausages.

Love it I don't get heartburn ! Me encanta no me da agruras !I love this store I like their cheese too and all kind of goodies !

Salsa Perrona! Made with chile de árbol & oil. Delicious with my mom's birria. Smokey & VERY spicy - DELICIOUS!!The owner Jackie was there and she was extremely friendly and helpful. These are the mom and pop shops we need to support! Stop by and you won't be disappointed!

Great little place. Family owned. Purchased some chorizo for the home. It was very delicious and fresh. Priced very well. They also have a spicy version as well. They also have other homemade product. Definitely recommend for authentic homemade food.

Wow...I am so glad my bf found this gem of a place by accident. If you're looking to buy chorizo to bring home, this is the place. Not only the chorizo taste amazing, but the owner is such an awesome person who you can have a great conversation with. Before purchasing anything, you're able to try the different chorizo he has to offer and the cheese as well. Also, can't forget their own salsa to sample. We end up getting the medium spice chorizo because my bf can't handle spicy like I can and also got the Verde chorizo. Literally the sample had us coming back from the pumpkin patch in Irvine to make sure we buy some to bring home. Not only because we bought it for the taste, it is because the owner is so kind. I hope your business does well! And thank you for letting us know about your wife making chorizo spaghetti. Now I really want to make it and try it.

Great quality chorizo and meat.The customer service is awesome . Love that it's family owned.

I recommend not over cooking and it's juicier! Love that word!! Totally awesome! Very friendly!!Seriously good stuff!

You want real chorizo? You have to go to Aurora's!Seriously so blessed and happy to have both locations about 12 minutes from my house.When I was younger I unfortunately had to stop eating regular super greasy store bought chorizo cause my Tummy didn't like it.Fast forward to 2 years ago when through word of mouth was introduced to Aurora's Chorizo, it's amazing, you can tell they use quality meat and the oil is minimal. Which makes my tummy happy!They have pork, chicken and vegetarian chorizo to choose from, with different heat levels.The shop has salsas, cheeses, and other yummy stuff. I'm so glad that the main star is their chorizo, it's excellent. Everyone there at both stores are helpful and really friendly people, and they're always happy to answer any questions.You have to check them out, and buy yourself some chorizo!!

I don't know how this place got 5 stars... there's no one cooking at this place and the tamales that they do sell are just stored in a regular Rubbermaid container. They only had elote tamales and the masa was too thick and tasted nothing like sweet corn. The woman behind the counter doesn't speak a word of English. I would not recommend this place.
