El Tapatio Meat Market

lunch is always good here. I had the caldo de res here today and it really hit the spot. The meat / soup / veggie ratio was 10/10. The other offerings they have here are great too. The place is always busy! Food is always fresh.

Discovered this jewel two years ago, and have visited several times and always loved the food !!! Today (Sunday), I happen to be in town so I was able to get their menudo which is served on the weekends only. I've been wanting to try it, but I'm rarely in this area on a weekend. OMG, it is Slap Yo Momma Good !!!!

It's a small Mexican grocery with delicious food Been coming here for years especially for the carne asada. Fast service. Friendly staff. It can be loud on busy hours. They also sell marinated ribs that is perfect for grilling on summer months. Give this place a try if you haven't yet.

Excellent tamales! I bought two dozen for Christmas Eve dinner. Expensive but really good.

Our go to for fresh produce and great Mexican fare. The meat market has excellent marinated and unseasoned meats, chicken, pork, and beef. There is a cooler with fresh tortillas and you can order tamales too. They're on the hot food line. Whether you're eating in or carrying out food, they have a process. A basic knowledge of Spanish is helpful but not necessary, and don't be scared if you don't speak Spanish. Just point, ask, and the friendly staff will take care of you. Lingua, pastor, carnitas, barbacoa, picadillo, and chicharon are all excellent. Wednesday special is the chili relleno plate. You can add your choice of meat, and plate comes with rice and beans. Grab a Mexican Coke or Jarritos from the cooler to enjoy with your meal. They will give you a chit at the end of the line with what you ordered and you pay the cashier on the way out. The drinks are on the honor system, so don't forget to tell them what you had, they know. You get your salsa, cilantro, onion, and limes at the end too, just ask if you don't get them. Tell them, "Con todo" to get you hooked up "with everything" you need to enjoy your excellent Mexican meal. We're lucky to have this place that represents the Mexican community so well.

Went there early in the morning and was so pleased to see a giant mountain of fresh barbacoa ready for me to take home to eat! It was so delicious! One of the best things in Texas!

Awesome local taqueria located inside of a small grocery market. For non-locals here's how its done. Go to the food counter and order your food. I recommend the tacos lengua (beef tongue) and barbacoa tacos with onions and cilantro and the tamales were great too. Once you order wait to pick up your food. If your dinning in go ahead sit down and eat, when your done go back up to the counter and pick up a sticky note with your order on it. You can pay at the register in the store front where you buy groceries.

Best place to get meat. Prep food is wonderful....... Best thing for me.Tamales & prep fajitas!!!

The store is tiny but the best carne asada I've had since moving from California. Great flavor and good price!

Been here many times, bought groceries, plate lunches, and dozens of tamales, always fresh and delicious, I speak enough Spanish to be able to order should employees not know english
