Coronado Prime Meats

I went in on a Thursday morning and saw mostly empty meat cases. The guy working said they were waiting on a truck. I DID get some ground beef and it cooked up very nicely for some great burgers. I did notice they had some exotics in the freezer case, but they were very pricey and the4 selection was very limited. They also kept pushing Angus, Angus Angus, but not many people know that Angus us a BRAND, not a grade. I look for Prime or Choice grade from smaller suppliers rather than the mass-produced conglomerates. They did say they had a small supplier.I'll give it another go, but empty cases aren't impressive at a butcher shop.

Price, price, price, price....Rib roast price $32.99 per pound almost 4x the price of everyone else. This was my first and last time purchasing meat from them. That is what o get for trying to support local/small businesses.

The. Best. Steaks. In. El. Paso.After 7 years of living away from Texas I was super excited to get back and treat myself to a cowboy steak. I've been looking for a steak worthy of being called Texan for 7 months now. Texas Roadhouse, Great American, Cattleman's, ect. I've tried them all. They all disappointed me and honestly the city was disappointing me. (I won't include carne asada in this rant, El Paso has mastered carne asada).Until I got to this butcher shop. OMG I'm in love. We ended up buying 5 different cuts of steak (not cheap but def worth it) and cooked them up ourselves on a gas grill. I will admit we ended up burning one a little (I forgot it was a thinner cut) but it was still 100 times better than any steak I've had in any wannabe upper scale steakhouses in the area. I also ended up freezing 1.5lbs of flank steak and it was still amazing when I cooked it up on an electric skillet 2 weeks later.We ended up spending something under $200 for maybe 6lbs total of different cuts, and yet that was still cheaper than the time we were majorly disappointed at Cattleman's. Not to mention the butchers are very knowledgeable (and super excited) about their craft and their products, I was very confident in my selections because of them.They also offer amazing sides (do get a tub of the potato salad), desserts (those pies are so buttery), and beers. Don't forget the frozen meats also available like kangaroo, alligator, bison, and more. This place is truly amazing.

Guys, I am so happy right now. Do you know how lucky we are to have a LEGIT butcher shop in El Paso? I've always driven by Coronado Meat Market on the Westside because I've assumed it would be way to expensive for my wallet, but it's NOT. It's cheaper than Costco! So, I've always bought meat from Costco, but since they started mechanically tenderizing everything, even Prime cuts, I've been hesitant to buy more expensive cuts because the prices aren't justified for that grade and you basically have a crap ton of small holes in the meat which can introduce bacteria. We've been sous-viding the steaks so I wasn't too worried since it safely kills bacteria but I wanted to try my hand at reverse searing steak and that definitely doesn't play nice with mechanically tenderized meat. I've also been on the hunt for tri tip. I've only found it already seasoned and marinated at Costco and Sam's but I don't really like how small those were and how expensive they were per pound. I guess it's a California thing because brisket was hard to find in CA but plenty of tri tip was available and here in El Paso, it's the opposite. Well, from the moment I stepped in the front door, these butchers (apparently everyone is named Matt here, so it's easy to remember their names) made me feel so welcome. And when they learned it was my 1st time, they spent time explaining what they had available and giving me samples of their brisket bbq and chile verde beef to try. They had amazing prepped entrees and sides for grab and go meals:-brisket slices -bbq pulled pork -pimento cheese dip -loaded potato salad -cheese potato salad -bbq beans -pies (pecan, apple, cherry, etc) And they have fully stocked alcoholic beverages. They also had hot sandwiches and burritos and nachos. I bought a cheese steak for hubby and the chile verde burrito for myself and it was stuffed with meat! Awesome for less than $4 each! I can see why they had regulars come in and ordering lunch at 1pm! But the meat...$9.99/lb for tri tip, and they cut it and trim to your liking and if you ask them nicely and it's your 1st time, they'll also vacuum seal it for you! Trimmed brisket and whole brisket is the same price as Costco and you don't need a membership AND you can buy what you need! They sell, pork, salmon, venison, bison, gator, duck bacon, kangaroo, and other delicious animals. They also sell bones for pho, caldo, and for bone marrow dishes! I was in heaven. I paid cash and I got an extra 4% off for using debit/cash. Come out and #supportlocal businesses like this amazing one. Their service alone made my day!

I don't eat a ton of meat, but when I do, I try and get better quality. Conversely, my husband is a huge steak guy, and this is our new favorite butcher shop. They also have delicious desserts and tamales! They also have more exotic meats if that's up your alley.

I drove down to get some lamb for Easter, my Easter is a week later. Picked up a boneless leg and 2 massive New York strip steaks,custom cut. Gotta love watching steak get cut to your liking, no thin steaks here! They were delicious, juicy, Prime as advertised! Thanks..

I just can't say enough about their meats... Exquisite tasty soo good meats! I don't know what they marinated the meat with but it sure was delicious once we were done cooking. The small batch of chili beans w meat... I think tri tip or? the best chili beans ever. We served them over nachos The bomb.com we had enough meat for 3 days and it tasted just as good as the first day. We keep bringing up the quality and flavor. Yeah back the first week of September and it's still like heaven in our minds GOOD. Don't know it they bottle the seasonings they used but if I could get my hands in some I'd buy it in a Texas minute! You get what you pay for. I don't usually cate fir marinated meats of any kind from a market, too salty or something just isn't right. This magic potion was fabulous!

Coronado Prime Meats is a really great butcher shop. They have quality meat and the workers there will always do their best to get what you need. I recently got some short ribs there to make korean bbq and man you can taste the meat's superb quality. They have a variety of meats that include venison, duck, bison, frog legs and more! The pricing on the meat is just a tad bit more than the regular grocery store, but the quality of the meat makes it worth it! They even sell bbq sandwiches which i have yet to try. Definitely would recommend if you are planning a big bbq or steak night!

My wife and I were very excited shopping for a great hand cut steak to grill. Very nice couple of guys greeted us and offered lots of suggestions. We settled on a thick cut marbled bone in rib-eye but were shocked paying $45. Anyway, took home and prepared a wonderful grilled meal only to find a lot of gristle and a very tough cut of meat. A small section in the middle was a little more tender but no melt in your mouth for $45. Very disappointed and won't be going back, for ourselves or guest. So sad, we had high hopes.

went in person to reserve pork shoulder as I have done before . the man behind counter wrote everything down and when I offered to pay he said it wasn't necessary. When I went on 9/23 to pick it up was told they didn't have pork shoulder and should have left a deposit. Didn't know if they would have any later in the day or not. I prefer to shop local but ended up at Walmart to salvage Christmas dinner. the worse thing was there was no apology - no conferring with the man who I originally spoke with - who was there or any other nicety. Unfortunately I'll not go back after shopping there for decades.
