Santa Ana Meat Market

I've been here a handful of times and their meat is GREAT!I stopped here once because it was on my way home. It seemed very easy to go to this market vs a bigger store. And WOW I'm SO GLAD I came in and gave this market a chance. The meat is very soft and tastes good. The times I do buy meat the employee (business owner I think) gives me a free green or red salsa. I definitely recommend this market. You will not be disappointed.

I follow Yelp whenever I need support in a crucial situation...like getting the Christmas roast beef figured out. I walked in this place and was immediately introduced to the Owner, who helped me select a fresh, delicious prime rib for the Christmas eve gathering I am hosting. The staff is incredibly helpful and the owner Susan was so nice and welcoming, nothing could be better. If there were room for six starts, she would get that!!

Small meat market. Really good chorizo and chicharon. Will return to check the rest of the market out.

Best Carne Asada in town! Meat is super tender and seasoned just right. I definitely recommend it 10/10 for quality meat and customer service. You will NOT be disappointed.

I like how this spot marinades their meat. I know bomb spots in Carson or Long Beach but Santa Ana is hard because of the quantity. This it definitely the best out of 6 I tried in Santana. Carne Asada ranchera.

Came in for the first time on my own. My dad comes here all the time to purchase carne asada rancher style. The butcher was really nice and friendly. Luckily there was no one there so didn't have to wait in line I was helped out immediately. Cashier was friendly as well. I'm guessing she was the owner or manager of the market. At the time ranchera was priced at7.99/lb

Hard to find a quality, no-nonsense butcher in Orange County but these folks are it. Incredibly kind, very knowledgeable about meat and willing to help. Can't ask for better.

Best hidden place I've been too for All my meat & salsa!! Amazing carne asada & chicken

Super friendly staff and they all had smiles. The market was a little smaller than I thought, but that's not their fault. I wanted to try their marinated meats and went with some Al Pastor and Carne Asada. The Al Pastor isn't sitting in marinade like I've always grabbed it at other places. Instead they cut up the meat and hand mixed in marinade/seasoning. I thought it might be lacking flavor because of not marinating long but I was wrong. I ended up enjoying the best Al Pastor I've ever made.The prices were great, meat was delicious. Even though it's pretty small, they had all the staples. I would give 5 stars but unfortunately the area isn't the best and there were people loitering about around other businesses and some may not feel safe. If you're used to going to carniciera's in Santa Ana area, don't wory about it. :).

Dropped in to buy a diet coke after eating next door at Las Brisas De Apatzingán and ended up buying marinated arrachera meat for carne asada. The friendly lady (owner?) behind the counter talked into taking me into getting some to take home. Guy next to me in line confirmed the quality and mentioned he was buying 60 pounds for a party. Turns out they do a brisk business selling marinated meat for carne asada...the other cuts looked fresh and the prices fair.So took it home to San Diego slapped it on the grill and indeed It was delicious. I will definitely take some home on my next trip to Santana. The lady tells me they have customers that drive from other cities to get their meat, I believe it. I have to tell you the service is outstanding and they have a good selection of Mexican products including fresh and dried chiles and tortillas. Also beer is iced down in large bins. The nice lady also gave me some delicious green salsa as a bonus. Highly recommend this place. Yes blue collar neighborhood but what is wrong with that?
