Carniceria Lopez

Who needs a festive holiday scent when you can have the aroma of burnt tamales!? D O N O T get tamales from Carneceria Lopez on Franklin blvd!!. I got 2 dozen for $60 and they were all burnt. I called and they wouldn't make it right. They also made my entire house smell like burnt tamales on Christmas eve and we had to air out the house. They were burnt, dry and awful to eat. I regret not getting them at Yolandas Tamales there goes my Christmas morning meal. Ugh!

I've been purchasing tamales here from Carniceria Lopez for some time now because the moisture of the masa taste and the choice of ingredients in the sauces. Made the tamales taste better than their competition down the road.I did mind paying $30 a dozen which is substantially higher than the competition. I regret to inform you after purchasing tamales on 11/11/24 this was not the case. What a difference in the flavor! Dry masa and the chicken tamales had hardly any sauce which made them taste even dryer. Unfortunately something has changed in the preparation. Just not the same.I will now have to find another place for tamales

I had to come here because I was late getting to La Esperanza, but it was a good thing that they were sold out of what I needed down the street. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come down here.There's a little market and carniceria here, but I only went to the carniceria side, so the review will only reflect that part of the premises. I was quickly helped by a very kind employee, and she fulfilled my order with swiftness. She made sure what I had asked for was what I really wanted, confirming what I wanted in English. They had a variety of cooked meats readily available to grab and go with, and I got chicharron and carnitas. They were solid, with my preferring the carnitas over the chicharron. I wouldn't hesitate to make a purchase here again. Both selections of meat were good. Were they excellent, 5-star quality meat? I would love to give that answer confidently, but I can't. I'd love to try again when it's fresher made, but I came late into the day/evening. Despite that, they were really good. I'll have to come again earlier in the day on another occasion.I might try some of the prepared dishes next time, and hopefully the same kind of experience will be reflected.

Shrimp tostada is decent. Tender shrimp albeit kinda bland (nothing lime slices can't fix though). A bit disappointed on the bag of tortilla chips and tub of salsa roja that I also got. Supposedly the tortilla chips are house-made but they don't have the thick crunchiness that fresh tortilla chips have. Honestly they're like unflavored Doritos. Kinda stale too. The salsa roja has a strange sweetness like as if conventional hot sauce was added to it (it's also thicker than the salsa roja that I'm used to). Not my jam.Eh, overall the place is okay, but it's hard to strongly recommend this spot when there are a bunch of Mexican spots in the area, some that have better offerings.

The meet here never fails to disappoint! They have all types of cuts for any occasion from a small to a big get together. Everyone that works in the carneceria knows their stuff. There are other big supermarkets in the area with lower prices but they don't have the quality like they do here. They also got a hot food area where everything is made fresh. Perfect when you're on the go. My favorite to get is the asada burrito with the red salsa. They load it up with meat. They have a little market as well with fresh veggies, bread, and even tamales! It's all go for all your needs.

I got a cheese quesadilla. It was super good and for $8 it was pretty reasonable. The salsa was so good. I couldn't believe it. They used Swiss cheese or something in the quesadilla and it was fantastic.

I was really hoping for something amazing i have been loving for a great Mexican food spot and still searching and i was hoping this would be it but its a miss for me very kind people but the food was not great i got a horchata and a burrito asada both were not good

Absolutely my favorite spot to hit up when I come back to Cali! I have been coming here since I was 11 and it is still the best. Hits right, tastes amazing and always makes me feel right back at home!!! Thank you for everything!

do not do business here!!!! i live in lincoln, ca these petty mfs couldnt even refund me my money when they charged me for 2 super burritos with no sour cream or gucamole! i will be leaving a bad review everywhere about this place on social media & on google!!! i have spent my money here multiple times they will make you sick!!! i will never be back!!!

We always go to Carniceria Lopez for our Fajita meat for our events; we particularly like their fresh Chicken Fajitas; we make it a "communal" cooking event whereas we place our Korean grills and hot plates on the table and everyone participates in turning and cooking the marinated meats together and self-serve! Fun event and easy on the host!We call ahead and order 15+ pounds of different types of marinated meats in advance for pickup and Carniceria Lopez is very accommodating!
