"Not very glamorous mexican supermarket, but the food is delicious! The whole right side of the market is a hot foods area - tacos, burritos, gorditos, you name it. Prices are super affordable and they cut the meat/prep the dish right in front of you! Salsa is super spicy."
"The deli we had been using recently closed, with Stanley's being close to the quality we had been getting. It can be busy, so expect a 15 minute wait at those times."
"This place is confirmed halal and the owners are muslims too. We had two whole chicken and beef kabobs. I guess this is one of the best chicken i have ever had. Taste perfectly, it really deserves 10 stars . I think half-chicken is enough unless if you are really hungry. I also tried the beef kabobs. I don't think it was very good, taste fine. That day they didn't cook the authentic Iraqi kabob well. I will order it next time i go there.The store is small and the prices of the restaurant is very reasonable and acceptable. I would definitely come again!"
"** November 2021 Visit **After a severely disappointing breakfast burrito I decided to give this meat shop/convenience store a shot since it was close by. It's a very humble store, but the butcher had a good selection of meats to choose from. It seemed that Spanish was the primary language and the butcher spoke very limited English, so we asked the cashier if she could help us with our order.My friend and I decided on a carne asada burrito with rice, onions, cilantro, and salsa. It was fresh, the tortilla had a nice char and was very filling. If you want authentic Mexican food this is a good spot!"
"Small business ownership at its best. I decided to treat myself to a filet mignon and Al's immediately came to mind.I know several people who highly recommend Al's so I stopped in a couple weeks ago to peruse their meat options and prices. They have nearly everything you would want from homemade sausages, fillets, rib roast, rib racks, chicken, pork, chops, anything you could want or need. Even more than most supermarkets.Today I purchased a fillet mignon and asked for it to be butterflied. It was done perfectly. I took it home, brought it to room temperature and put it on the grill. Oh my gosh. it was so tender I could cut it with a butter knife.The prices were on the pricey side but totally worth it. Considering that this is a small private owned business I am more than happy to patronize a business where fresh meats are fresh with NO added anything."
"Excellent place! The meat department is well stocked with lots of choices. It was busy today, Easter, but the staff was fast and efficient. We will be back"
"Good carneceria little pricey but good. I wish the chicharones didn't have nipples though."
"Carne Asada does not disappoint. We decided to let the steak marinade overnight. Hubby grilled it medium rare. It was tender and flavorful. It was tangy, we grilled the onions separately. It had the perfect amount of spice and salt.Because of the Yelp reviews, I went back this afternoon. Sadly, they sold out of guacamole. I did pick up salsa verde and pick de gallo. Both were good with our carne asada nachos. We will be back. Next time on Saturday morning so we won't miss the guacamole.Tip: The price of the carne asada is now $7.99/lb. The butcher went into the locker, cut the flank steak fresh, poured the marinade in a bag, added the meat, and everything is super fresh!"
"Usually come here for deli meats. They have really good sausage. I usually get the salami. They can give you samples to try before you buy. They also sell mici(skinless sausage) but they are made with beef only and are really skinny. Also there's 50 pieces in a box. They are okay not the best. Also they sell other products like cheese, bread, vegata, candy and etc. For bread you need to go early because they sell out quick."
"Found a meat shop! They had a variety of things to choose from. Priced decently. One side is a meat shop other side is a deli.SteakChickenPorkSausageBeef JerkyPlus moreI would return. Nice staff and clean inside. I do wish there was a bit more to choose from,"
"This place is awesome. Anything you could want, they have. It's perfect for every meal. Breakfast lunch or dinner. We love this place!! It's got amazing food amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Try everything because you will not be disappointed by anything. I love the attention you get from everyone plus the perfect flavors in every bite. You have to try it I highly recommend it!!!!"

Best chicken I've ever had hands down. I'm not a big meat-eater by any measure but had to put the chicken away in the fridge for the next day otherwise I would have eaten the whole thing in one sitting. Not sure if they do this every day but they were grilling chicken outside and I got mine fresh off the grill. I was the only person speaking English inside but that's how you know it's legit and not a tourist trap. Only thing to be aware of is that Pollo al Carbon really means a whole chicken! It's a massive amount of meat so only get that if you can save some for later or are with others. I'm sure the other meats like the Carne Asada are terrific too, I don't eat red meat but if I did would have certainly got some of that too.

Have not been here for a while. Ordered sandwiches by phone and their smoked meat counter was full. Have been to Stanley's for many years, well before they opened their current location on East Bell Road.By the time I left the store, had three large bags. Smoked ribs, four different varieties of sausage, a block of feta cheese, pork shoulder, and apple strudel. Set for the rest of the month. Great shopping at a small family owned business. Put this one on your list.

Best fresh hummus in town. They seem to be renovating. I hope they haven't closed. Their hummus would hit the spot right now!

I stopped into this carniceria on a daily basis when I stayed nearby. At first I came in to stock up on some iced tea but then had to have some calabaza empanadas. I'm giving this place 5 stars because of the meat. I buy a large quantity of meat to make tamales and this carniceria had quality at a good price. They also have a good selection of cheese. The ready made food looked delicious but the only thing I had were the beans and they had excellent flavor.

Sent my uncle here to pick up some ham hocks. He came home with smoked shank but he's so happy with it. I called before he went to make sure they had some & they super nice lady who answered the phone was personable & fun. My uncle came back with a very generous shank that had tons of meat on it. He had them cut it in two pieces. This is definitely somewhere we will be coming back to.

There is a nostalgic feeling that overcomes when walking into this place. The smell of burning charcoal, or the unmistakeable sound of Mexican music. Very clean, and friendly staff are staples at this place. The food... it all looks delicious, and I yet to try everything on their menu. I met a regular when I was there. He mentioned the portions and the flavor were great. I ordered a whole grilled chicken, some tortillas and salsa. All of it delicious, although it could have used a bit more salt. Looking forward to trying the next dish. The have chicharrón!!!

Been coming here for years to get carne Asada. This place is in ghetto parking sucks but worth finding a spot. If you come here get it ranchera make sure you get the big fat green onions to marinate with steak. Price went up over the years but dang it's perfect. Sometimes you will get some free salsa or tortillas if you buy meat. I usually pick mine up at food city and make my own salsa. Any way it smells so good when you grill it your neighbors will be jealous and hungry lol.
Visit Restaurant Page"Visited Rusty Nail Meats for the first time today as we were visiting friends in the Scottsdale area. Our friends just moved into a home near RNM and it was time to break in their new kitchen! We rolled into RNM and picked up two large boneless ribeyes, filet mignon, salmon filet, and four different sausages. My buddy smoked all the items on his smoker. Rusty Nail Meats has an arsenal of juicy cuts and even a large meat ager behind the counter with some holy grail aged cuts on display for you heavy hitters who make it rain!!!If you looking for choice cuts and are around N Scottsdale Rd and E Shea Blvd get into Rusty Nail Meats and finish the summer strong!!!"
"So I finally cooked up the bacon we had bought and it has great flavor! I would definitely come back. I'll have to try other stuff next time."
"This is a great family owned butcher shop. The owner Jason is a great guy and the rest of the employees are very help full. So far I bought a Peking Duck, Picanha, Korean style ribs that he threw in some marinade, and some Rib Eyes. All the prices are very fair. I love their Garlic Jalapeño Meat Duster and have used it on poultry, pork, and beef. Everything has been great."
"Happened to stumble across this brand new seafood and meat market off of E Pinnacle Peak Rd. in Scottsdale! What a find! These knowledgeable owners, and chef will tantalize your tastebuds, as he describes each cut of meat, and where it's from! Customer service is their thing! They will take requests for seafood and meats, if you don't see it, just ask! You can find smoked meats, the finest Canadian bacon and other goodies in a small case, don't forget to look inside! They will make special cuts, however you prefer, and bend over backwards to make your shopping experience memorable! They have a small market with lots of sauces, pastas, mixes and cool T-Shirts! Fresh seafood is delivered daily, (tip, get there early for the largest section!) Goes quick! Especially on Fridays. Glad to have a speciality meat market in my neck of the woods!"
"And you'll never find another cut of steak like Bob's bee-eee-eef! -BrerrieI've been grilling/cooking the flavor out of meat for nearly thirty year now. It doesn't matter where I bought it: Costco, any grocery store, circle k... the one thing for sure was that it was going to end up dry and flavorless.So when my wife mentioned the Meater probe, I knew it would pay for itself within two meals. Our maiden voyage included two boneless rib eyes from Sprouts, and it was a rousing success!Round two, enter Butcher Bob's...Me, from a year ago, would laugh at the thought of spending $35 a pound just to turn beautiful fillets into worn shoe leather... but it's a new day my friend, and thanks to the Meater, my wife and I are now producing steakhouse quality meals at a fraction of the price!Bob's quality is a cut above, eliciting childhood memories of when my dad was rocking the grill. Even the fat packs a tasty punch. Hey Guy, we finally found Flavor Town!"
"Was in town for the Phoenix Open and cooking for a large group. Butcher was very helpful with selecting the perfect carne asada and pollo asada. I got about 1/2lb per person. The marinade was amazing even though I could only marinate it for a few hours! Highly recommend. Also picked up some fresh salsa, guacamole, avocados, cotija cheese and tortillas. Hit up the ice chest for the warm tortillas! Best carne asada I've ever had and the group thought so too!"
"Pricey...but seriously worth it! Even the fresh frozen freezer is so much better than most other local options."

"Friendly Staff, Delicious Carne Asada and so much moreHappy to say I have a new go to spot for those times I don't want to cook. All I have to do is head over to Hacienda Navarro an order some Asada for taco nightThere is nothing better then a good carnicería, and Hacienda Navarro is just that place. The quality and prices can't be beat and the grocery section has exactly what you will need to prepare that perfect mealGreat customer service, affordable prices, and high quality products. We'll definitely be repeat coustomers"
"Was recommend Block & Apron by a friend and we finally made it a priority to check out. We are bummed we didn't visit sooner! My wife and I stopped in to pick up some meat for the week and spoke with the general manager, Paul. Paul gave us an overview of all their products and even some other local products they carry (honey, sauces, dips, salsa, chips, etc.). They have quite the selection of meats and what we loved is the grass fed and finished selection. Fun fact: They just started carrying beef that is grass fed and carrot finished (meat is supposed to be a little sweeter). Looking forward to making this a regular spot for our family's proteins!"
"I wish I had more money so I could get all my meat and fish from Nelson's lol. I've been venturing to the Phoenix location monthly for the past year and it's something I really look forward to. The fish is flown in twice a week so everything is super fresh. They even have an email list so you can keep current with what they have an oh my, the options are as endless as they are diverse. I usually have no idea what I'm doing most of the time when I walk into the store but the employees are SO helpful with cooking instructions and recommendations which is so great for a fish novice like me. There are a ton of fresh provisions so if you want to get a quick to go dip, marinade, or spread, they have those too. I think one of my favorite parts of the store is the meat section. The other month I got lucky and picked up Australian Wagyu picanha and I've been dreaming about it ever since. So many choices!!! Nelson's, please sponsor me lol."
"No better beef in the valley than Rovey Farms. They have numerous fresh cuts shrink wrapped frozen at reasonable prices. They are primarily a supplier to local restaurants but they are open to the public with limited hours. They also have sheeps milk cheese. That also is wonderful and is velvety smooth. This is a local treasure."
"French's, I finally made it. I love the people that work there.DickLisaSafardo (?)Fresh cut ribeyes and a mixture of veal pork and beef so we can make meatballs.You can buy packages, beef pork, chicken, lamb, I'm so excited.I love this place, I WOULD RECOMMEND."
"I get an old-world vibe from this place. Super small storefront with an old-school butcher style feeling where you can see artisans engaging in their craft. From what I remember all the animals they butcher are local. I also believe they do most everything in-house: seasoning, curing, cutting, drying, etc. Staff is friendly and its in a great location."
"Well, it's just ok. First of all, the person behind the counter seemed agitated that I was ordering food from him. The curry is either separated or half oil. Naan was good but really thick. Samosas were good. Out of all the Indian places I've tried, this is my least favorite."
"I can't believe I've not previously written a review for German Sausage Company! I have been coming here for many years and oh so love it! The shop is small but packed full of goodness! The people working here have always been friendly and helpful. They are patient and full of answers. The parking can be a challenge but its well worth it once you've gotten inside."
"Beyond words! This small hole on the wall has some good prices on meats but travel into the next room and your ordering FRESH cooked to order Mexican food. The prices are worth the amount of food you get and will be back!"
"Carniceria came highly recommended by multiple friends, so we had to check this place out. It did not disappoint. They sell meats by the pound or made into favorite entrees. We chose few tacos and a chicken burrito. All were delicious and loaded with toppings. The salsa was little spicy for me. The meats were moist and flavorful but there were some ends that were little dry. They also had menudo we wanted to try but they were sold out. Will be back. Highly recommend."
"This Asiana is a bit far north for me, but when I go to my dentist, I stop in here just to see what they have.I normally shop at 99 Ranch over in Chandler, and occasionally will go to Mekong or Lee Lee's and everyone once in awhile, I will venture to H Mart, so we are definitely covered here in the Valley with many options for Asian or international grocery.I was here yesterday and I always like to check out all their fresh made Korean dishes. They have seafood and kimchee pancakes and variety of ban chan available! Great!There is always fresh produce available, meats, seafood, freezer items.I like coming here to supplement what I can't find elsewhere.My purchases on this trip included:(1) ready-made spicy tuna onigiri ($3.99 each or 2/$7) - this was so-so, I can make a better one.(2) onigiri maker and silicone sushi roller - will be making my own rolls and onigiri at home. (3) burdock root seeds - going to figure out if we can grow these well out here(4) Nimboo pudina peanuts and chana (my favorite Indian snacks)(5) Asian sour lemon drink - Chanh Xi Muoi - this is my favorite with some seltzer on a hot summer day, so refreshingI found some unique items today and will be back again on my next trip out this way!"
