Belmar - La Gallinita Meat Market

The food is authentic, service is fast, it's been family owned since the 1960s! They are known for their chicharrones, tacos, and meats seasoned with their special dry rub.

This is my butcher shop, I grew up in the neighborhood and this was our place to get our protein. I have been therefore years. And I know it's has changed a lot, but those family members that remain the neighborhood are still happy with their services!.

Even though they have a huge butcher section, I opted for the tacos. It wasn't expensive, but it also wasn't super cheap. Maybe like $4/taco. The cecina taco was very delicious and memorable! Cecina Taco: My favorite taco of the batch I tried. A huge single thin slice of beef. Apparently it's salted, but it's not like corned beef salted, more like a steak that's a bit salty. Really enjoyed the flavor.Chorizo Taco: Large chunks of ground pork full of spices. Seemed like larger granules than you typically get with chorizo. Worked really well on the taco.Carne Asada Taco: Wasn't quite feeling this one. I was expecting seared slices of steak. Instead, there were large chunks that were like lesser cuts that were a bit bumpy. Like what you might think of for tacos or fajitas served in a school cafeteria.Carnitas Taco: Pulled pork that is deep fried to be a bit crispy. Nice texture and good meat. Could have used a bit more marinade in the meat though.

The places that Yelp takes me The deals that we unlock $4.15 for a regular burrito The burrito asada real big beef chunks Rice and beans was good The chicken tacos came out a tad heavier on the salt but I love the fresh masa tortillas homemade I would try their fried chicharron next time I had no idea it was across the street from TopRound Yelps awesome They have a meat canercieria inside Beef quality looking fresh will have to try the oxtail or short rib next time

This is one of the lesser known spots in the Mission district, but I'd highly recommend!! Shoutout to the Yelp 415 deal, where you can check in and get a burrito for $4.15 (a steal). Thanks to this event, I was able to try this spot out! It is also a meat market on the side, but I came for the fresh food! The employees there were really great and attentive, making sure you enjoyed your experience her. I ordered the cecina burrito and HIGHLY recommend. This choice in meat plus the red sauce packs a BUNCH of flavor. It was a fairly large burrito packed with rice and beans as well, and I was VERY satisfied afterward.Excited to come back!

Ask for the real carne asada steak!!!!! You will not be disappointed. You can also ask them to cut a chicken the right way for the grill.

Great prices. Everything we needed to throw a taco party for 30-50 people. We order every single month for our monthly meetings.

I love their caldo de res. Great ratio of meat and veggies. Comes with really yummy tortillas and yummy arroz rojo. Such a comforting meal in the winter time.

I was introduced to this place years ago when I was in my teens by my dad. This is the only place I buy chicharrones! They are crunchy, warm and delicious and are especially yummy when they are fresh out of the fire. It's a small cramped place that could benefit from some up dating but would probably loose its charm if it was.
