This has been my go to meat market in Costa Mesa. They have other items that you can conveniently pick up for last minute carne asadas or if you’re cooking up an authentic Mexican meal and need an ingredient.
I usually stop by Sunday around 3/4pm and it’s not very busy.
I stick to the diesmillo and pollo preparado, for my meal preps. Price fluctuates a bit, but I usually spend ~$50 a week on enough protein for my weekday meals.
They have warm food available as well, which I have tried. I ordered the enchiladas with mole sauce plate. They were good, but not great.
I’ll continue to support this small Mexican business over the larger chains. 🇲🇽

Cashier Lady is rude and unprofessional, never coming back.
Been here a few times. A co-worker has talked about how big the tacos were, so of course I had to try it. First time there, I ordered 1 carnitas taco. This taco was huge, and came stacked with carnitas, onions and cilantro, you can make a few tacos out of one tbh. Of course after this visit I shared it with my carpool buddy and he suggested we stop by for 1 taco. I suggested carnitas so we both ordered one. He loved it so much, he suggested we come back the next day and try the burrito, I was all for it. We both ordered the carne asada and as was the same with the tacos, this burrito was stacked with meat, beans, rice, onion and cilantro. Includes a small salad (I think the dressing is crema or a form of sour cream) and red and green salsa. I don't live nearby but will definitely stop by and catch some food on the way to the beach, as it's right near the beach! The place is also a market with fresh meat, produce and hot food by the pound. The menu offers burritos, tacos, tortas, soups, taquitos and plates of various meat offerings. ♿ Accessible, although aisle are somewhat narrow.
Always fantastic tacos All their food is fantastic

the store is great. But the cashier purposely keeps you waiting to check you out. the cashier is very rude and unprofessional. if you don’t have good customer service don’t work a customer service job!

The meat is absolutely delicious! Order some tacos de birria & sopes de carnitas. They stuff it with meat. Homemade tortillas?? Their salsas are good, not that spicy though. It is a pretty small location, it is also a store! There are so many good Mexican products. The employees are very nice & patient.
