"Okay this is just simply the best place I've found In Abilene, had the Brisket Sandwich, beans and potato salad, the coleslaw and corn salad were delicious as well, the Brisket was cooked perfect, so tender it melted in my mouth, even their pickles were perfect for the flavor."
"Amazing little place to stop in for a good lunch at a great price in this part of town. I can't wait to get back and just buy some meat to bring home and throw on our rotisserie grill. Will definitely be back."
"Wow... i was in downtown dallas and was heading home while hunger appeared. it was pretty late into the night and saw that this place was open fairly late. I'm SO glad i stopped here.Simply put, the tacos were 100% delicious, and the best one is the chicharron taco. Normally, chicharron would be fried and crispy, but this place soaks it in sauce and it was like heaven on a plate. I don't know if the supermarket is open (as in you can buy groceries), but i did buy flan as well.i'll be back!"
"I have had this bookmarked for a while and was excited to try - I love it when butcher shops offer freshly made sandwiches. They have a really nice backyard with picnic tables, a big screen TV and fans. We ordered the brisket sandwich (Comes with pimento cheese) It was about $13. We also grabbed some smoked potato salad out of the cooler (though I didn't really taste any smoke). The sandwich is made panini style and they really committed to the pressing of the sandwich with full grill marks. It was a really good sandwich - though I would say it really could have used more filling overall - more meat and more cheese. My man and I split it - but with the current fillings - we could have easily both eaten a whole one. Excited to come back and try the pastrami reuben and the kobe beef hot dog."
"Very good Indian food. It is essentially a restaurant counter in a supermarket. You walk up and order your food. Some appetizers are available immediately, but the rest is cooked in the kitchen. There is a large seating area with both indoor and outdoor seating. The menu is quite large with, all of the Indian favorites you can imagine. Plenty of vegetarian options too. We ordered butter chicken and chicken vindaloo and both were served very hot. The flavor was great and the portions were quite large, and their naan is some of the best I have ever had."
"Come here if you're hankering for some good Pakistani food. The auto rickshaw close to the entrance of this restaurant is brilliantly colorful and decorated like they do back in Pakistan. The restaurant is situated right next to their supermarket and this is a good spot of find halal meat as well.Their food is affordable and their portion sizes are generous.Since this was a delivery order, I decided to steam my own rice to go with the curry dishes (since they don't provide rice/bread options by default, must be ordered separately, which I don't mind because they have priced their main dishes fairly).My order:-1. Mutton biryani - Flavorful rice and generous amount of meat. My only complaint was that the mutton could have been cooked a little less. Biryani is sometimes not cooked to order, so maybe that was a factor? I don't want to speculate, and give them the benefit of the doubt - 3.5/52. Kheema mattar - Minced meat, in this case goat/lamb, done in gravy form with peas - Very flavorful and cooked perfectly - 5/53. Okra - Done with onions and tomatoes in a spicy gravy - 4/54. Chicken and goat kebabs - Chicken kebabs were flavorful and moist - 5/5.The goat kebabs were a disappointment as they were on the dry side - 3/5Overall, one of the better options for Pakistani food in and around Irving.PS: This was not part of the order for the review, but I recommend their Daal gosht, which is mutton done with spicy lentils. Add that with fluffy rice and you'll be set."

Run to the shed! An Abilene staple, this BBQ joint is popular during the lunch hour and quickly sells out. I tried the bomber sandwich (brisket, sausage and pulled pork with slaw) and it was delicious! Complete with all the fixings-pickled jalapeños, house made pickles, onions and their homemade bbq sauce-this is a show stopper! Don't forget the banana pudding!!

Just finished lunch with the family on our vacation. We tried the brisket sandwich and double burger. Both were delicious!!!! The complimentary iced tea and lemonade was yummy and such a nice touch. Everyone was friendly and service was fast. This is a Butcher store that offers shipping which we are definitely going to look into. I would highly recommend this place to eat. You won't be disappointed!!! So good!!

Wow, this place is worth the hype. The tacos and burrito we had were stellar. So flavorful and at a really good price. The bean and cheese burrito I had was perfectly seasoned with an amazingly fresh, chewy tortilla. Already planning our next trip back here.

Great find! Was in the area grocery shopping and decided to try this place out. Small butcher but great selection. Picked up some Venison & Pork sausages, Wagyu hotdogs and some Steakcon. All for around $20 bucks and well worth it. They also serve food - next time for sure

Great prices and great food. We do not go there for a fancy dinner. We go because the food is very well done. Everything I have had from korma to kababs has been awesome. And everyone is nice!

There are a number of other meat markets in the area but this one fits very well. They have a large variety of different marinated meats and chicken. So far I've mostly been getting their marinated fajita beef which is the best I've had in the area. Good seasoning and quality meat. They have a good variety of other things like produce and Mexican products like sour cream, candy, desserts and all kinds of other assortments. Their poblano peppers are awesome and large unlike what you will find in the big grocery stores in our area.I like that they also have a good sized dining area and quite an extensive menu. So far I've only had their Quesabirria tacos which I thought was quite good. The meat was tender and had good flavor.It's quickly becoming one of my favorite spots for speciality food that I like.

Where to start? Let's just say I enjoy visiting unique neighborhood grocers, small markets, and tiny restaurants. Here, you will get 3 in one! This neighborhood grocer have many many layers to unwrap. Explore fine wines from several countries, hard or soft cheeses, the coffee bar, wines by the glass, sample salads, gourmet deli meats, daily specials or take a fresh baguette loaf to bake at home. Even frozen custard with toppings. This shopping visit began with Lisa in the delicatessen. Lisa was attentive and friendly and all smiles. When I arrived at the counter to pay she complimented my MFK baccarat rouge 540 parfum saying the fragrance was delightfully fresh and floral. I said thanks and where's the Caesar salad!? Lisa laughed and asked if I needed plastic ware. I picked up 3 salads, roasted vegetables, and a sample container of key lime dessert that needed more lime juice or lime zest for an expected tartness. Good nonetheless. As I explored the wines of the world I picked up Prosecco to pair with baked Brie later with fig spread. In my opinion, the wine prices are comparable to that of CM and World Market. But of course, a smaller selection of fine wines this is a small grocer. Jace was extremely helpful. He did ensure I received my ready salads and roasted vegetable all imaginable to pair with my glorious triple cheesy grilled cheese sandwich. That cheese pull thou!! Worth every cheesy calorie. I enjoyed a green tea and grilled cheese on the perfect patio in a quite neighborhood while watching the slow flow of traffic. Great ending to a busy Saturday afternoon. I will return but with hubby in hand. He would give their freshly ground beef burger a try.

"SUMMARY: OMG I love this place and the family who runs it. Kindest owner and the family members and staff are GOLD. Food is great too!BACKGROUND: I thought there wasn't a grocery store or mini market conveniently on the way from my work to home, but one day I decided to see what La Laguna was all about and been patronizing ever since.LA LAGUNAIn the classic sense, LL is your traditional mini market complete with a small selection of produce (fresh and refrigerated), tortillas including freshly made ones they keep steamy in a cooler, but LL is also a carniceria, and a restaurant too. They also have a decent beer selection as well.FOODI first visited because I wanted to just check it out but was pleasantly surprised that they were a restaurant too. We've tried their tacos, tamales, carne de res (soup), bought their fresh corn tortillas, etc. I'd say some things are definitely better than others like their birria tacos are pretty good, but the tamales we ate were a bit too dry for us. We really liked their carne de res soup and their large soup fed us well for two days when we had a light snow storm in Feb 2022. I also bought a Mexican Ribeye steak from their meat case. The owner gave me a pretty good thick slide and we pan fried it (don't have a bbq just yet!) and had a pretty good meal.RETURN VISIT?We are pretty lucky to have a great little mini-market / meat shop / restaurant / fast casual dining place so close to our home!"
"What a precious little neighborhood grocer!! I mean seriously. You can actually purchase all you need for making dinner from wine to a butcher's case. Or you can drop by for one of the daily lunch specials. Today was chicken fried steak which came with 2 sides. I got mashed potatoes and collards. They were delicious although the steak was a tad salty - nothing too major though. The breading stayed with the meat. That's huge for me. Also - NO gristles! Take note that the inside dining area will fill up around noon so I ended up on the patio. Thankfully it wasn't as hot - relatively speaking - today as it has been. I wandered back in after eating and left with banana pudding. It was darn good! Had a lot of vanilla wafers. I love soggy banana pudding wafers. They open at 7 and have breakfast burritos at the coffee bar.The staff was outstanding! I think they like their jobs. Note to self: you can't tip using a credit card so make sure to have cash.A decent amount of parking in the small front and back lots. Street parking is also available."
"Seen a review of "if you are tired of Tex-mex, this is the place. So I swang by on my taco tour of the week end. Very good tacos can't wait to go back with the wife and daughter to hit up some seriously good authentic tacos. Music was on Point!! Grew up in California and always loved going to Mexican markets that had a Taqueria's in them. Next time going to try some of there many marinated meat in the meat, market section. Worth a stop in!!"
"This was my first trip to Indopak. I came for middle eastern pickles and tea. I got what I was looking for and snagged a pack of coconut cookies for good measure. The store was clean and well organized. They had an excellent selection of teas, as well as spices, and produce. This is pretty much what I am looking for in specialty markets. The meat is halal and they have a freezer FULL flatbreads."
"Man this is the place to stop and grab yourself some good meats, Mike brined some Brisket and I smoked up a good Corned Beef Brisket over the weekend and whipped up some Fried Cabbage and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes and gotta say it was a really good Irish dinner, also he will be doing some Italian beef and if you never had seasoned Italian beef thinly sliced and put on a toasted roll with the remaining beef Au Jus sauce you don't know what your missing"
"The staff is so friendly.. although small! They don't seem to get super slammed for lunch though so it's okay. If you sign up online for rewards, you get a free sandwich! I recommend the Turkey bacon ranch. It was delicious. I got mine toasted! Yum. Also, I bought a small side of potato salad and it is THE BEST potato salad I've ever had. So glad I did! Sandwiches come with a pickle wedge (also yummy!) Can't wait to come back since I have a BOGO free on my receipt!"
"Great store conveniently located for me. Great for those looking for grocery & food items from Kerala in addition to regular groceries(milk, meat etc.) ... Also does great catering too!And reasonably priced...."
