This place was huge! It has a long counter of fresh meat priced by the pound including: beef, pork, poultry and seafood. In the back there is a massive freezer of meats, and another freezer full of seafood items. They also had a large selection of pantry items and specialty canned goods and condiments. Some were made in-house and many products were from companies around Colorado. Lastly they had a large cooler dedicated to dairy, every kind of cheese you can think of. When in Salida, don't skip out on Scanga!

Awesome bacon We don't live in Salida anymore, but whenever we are in town, this is a must stop. I would highly recommend Scanga Meat, you won't be sorry.

It has been awhile since we spent an extended time in Salida but this is an absolutely wonderful place for meat lovers and foodies. They regularly advertise in The Mountain Mail with new specials each week. It didn't take long looking at those ads before we had to come get us some. Enter and you have a long meat counter on the right with a cornucopia of beef, pork and chicken choices. On the left wall are shelves and coolers with all kinds of specialty foods including seasonings, cheeses, jarred and canned delights and more. It is dangerous to go in here if you are not hungry and doubly dangerous if you are because you will be tempted to buy much more than you realistically can consume in a reasonable period of time. Make sure you have freezer and pantry space. The steaks we bought were superb when we grilled them later. The kielbasa was also quite good a few days later with pierogis. If I lived in Salida I would buy all my meat here and use the other side of the store for things to play with my food with.

We have driven by the signs for Scanga Meats for years and have never stopped. But I'm glad we did.If you're looking for a good old-fashioned butcher shop, this is it! There aren't a lot of frills to be had. Just good meat, good selection and good service.

The meat selection here is phenomenal and excellent quality! This is our "go-to" for steaks! There are also a variety of sauces, rubs, jams, cheeses, butter, etc. I wish they would carry wine

We drove here from Montrose because friends have raved about the selection of fresh quality meats. We should have called ahead because most of the meat was frozen or sealed in plastic. We did buy a packaged roast and a couple steaks. It would have been worth the drive (128 mi each way) if we could have come away with a few more items.

These folks make a super supersetta sausage that is the best charcuterie I have ever had, and that is saying quite a lot.Every person I share it with tells me it is the best salami they have ever had and I agree. Very smoky with a deep, rich flavor that has got a little kick to it. If I had one salami that I could eat for the rest of my life, it would be this one. Their smoker burned down a few years ago, and they stopped making it; I offered to send them money to rebuild their smoker. I seriously did that.

So. I want to start by saying I really want to like scanga meat. Their meat is pretty good and they have a good selection but my last visit there made me extremely uncomfortable. No one working in the store was wearing a mask (including the people who were handing the meat). They also have a sign out front telling people it's ok to not in their business. I'm all for peoples individual rights... but less so when it comes to sanitation. If this is how they are in their store front... I don't know what they're doing when people aren't looking.
