This place is incredible! I got to markets all over San Diego County looking for good deals on meat, my diet is about 85% meat so when i heard about this place, I HAD to check it out. This place offers several types of red meats,poultry, and pig meat. All of which are beyond reasonably priced ? here's a list of pros and consPros:1- offers several types of red meat; beef, bison, elk, and venison, all reasonably priced2- offers multiple types of poultry; chicken, game hens, duck3- pork that is either farmed pork or WILD BOAR ?4-everything is portioned to be affordable, for instance other markets offer brisket at a similar price of about $13-$15/lb however there were 2-5lb slabs available at the meat counter. I was eyeing a slab of brisket that was $32.5- this place is family owned! The people that work here are very very kind and accommodating to what you would like or need.6- every product, even down to the ground beef is of very very high quality. Far superior to any market I've been to yet. Every meat is rich in color and is kept very fresh.7-open every day of the weekCons- doesn't get the appreciation this place deserves, this place should be packed every single day. I will be shopping here regularly without hesitation and highly recommend anyone who sees this review to come visit the store. ESPECIALLY anyone who is a meat connoisseur

This is a great neighborhood market with a butcher shop to buy meats and cheeses, sandwiches, sodas, ice cream or groceries. It used to be called El Norte Market back in the day. I grew up in Escondido and walked here all the time to get something to eat as a kid The butcher would slice up 1 dollars worth of roast beef or cheese for me. I think somerimes they would give me extra. I can't believe the vacant dirt lot next to the market is still there and hasn't been built on.

Glad to have a little market like this in walking distance! In addition to meat, they have basic grocery items, wine, and sodas. I've never been when they are cooking or preparing sandwiches (the pre made ones in the fridge didn't look very appealing) so I can't comment on that. They did have things like alligator, duck breasts and like, bison, which is neat. Don't know if I will eat any of it but my partner was excited about that and the variety of sausages (I quite liked their kielbasa but partner is Polish so he gave it a B- lol). In addition the label-less bread they sell is REALLY good. The person at the meat counter and up at the front have always been nice and welcoming. No bathroom that I'm aware of.I would love if there were a little more veggie options or maybe fountain drinks. A nice icey drink for the walk home would be great!

Great place! All the people who work there are very friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to provide friendly and courteous services. Their meats are excellent and priced very fairly. I am there 3 or 4 times a week. If you are ever in the area give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

I wanted some picana and the butcher cut some up on the spot! Picked up some linguisa also! Great service and the meat tasted great!

Have been taking my pigs here for processing the last 2 years. Hot Italian sausage they make is the best I've had

We were trying to make a Spanish Fabada as part of a gourmet cooking club and these guys were the ONLY ones in ALL of Escondido that were willing to get me Pork Cheeks. THANKS to Audi and Regina for working with me on that. This place ROCKS!!

Stopped in today to look at meat selection and was disappointed in the quality. Not sure what’s so great about this place, pretty much everything was very overpriced.

Very open, friendly, knowledgeable butcher willing to take his time with me as I asked questions.Provided me with THE VERY BEST RIBEYE steaks that I’ve cooked ( on my Big Green Egg ), PORK LOINS, and PORK BUTT. He cut pork chops - at my request - to 1.0 inch thickness, very willing to do so!!!!If you want the BEST fresh meat in North County —> this is the place!!Dr. Joe Mallinger

New ownership. Pricing on convenience items have gone through the roof. Better off buying beer and small items from your local vons, albertsons, or ralphs. Shame, used to like this place a lot. Meat and butcher section still ok and seems the same.

I purchased sausage made here, pork belly, marinated chicken and pork steaks, and sliced roast beef!! Their meat counter has an amazing selection with reasonable prices for the CHOICE & PRIME cuts of meat? Can't wait to get to camp and bbq my meats??Service was informative, kind and with a smile!! I witnessed one of the butcher's talk extensively to a woman who was making homemade sausage and came to buy pork fat. He spent alot of time answering her questions??? I definately will stop again when I come camping at Dixon Lake nearby?
