Meat Shops near Los Gatos, CA

“Everytime I walk into Summit store I feel like royality, yes the only customer in the house; maybe it's because when I go it's 6AM. Just before my morning bike ride, I grab myself an espresso, lift my pinkee which holds the cup I daintly sip from and enjoy the quite of it all before the hussle and busle of the morning commuters on Summit road. However, if you go for the meats, vegetables, hot bar, sandwiches, eyecandy and/or cold brewski located in the rear of the store, you've hit the sweat spot. Can't say enough good things about the quality of the goods, variety, and the friendly people. Definitely an anchor location in this neck of the woods not to be missed.”

“Al Forat Market makes wonderful takeout kebabs, barbecued chicken, barbecued meat, barbecued vegetables, and barbecued onions. The chicken, meat, and vegetables are always very fresh and cooked to perfection. The portions are huge, and the prices are budget level. The store is spotlessly clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The owner is very honest. We have been loyal customers for many years and have told many of our friends, and all of them are now repeat, happy customers.”

“This review is for their paella and service associated with that. We stopped by here on a trip to Saratoga after hearing about their Friday paella special. It was very exciting to see the giant vat if paella being made outside the store. The staff were super friendly. After seating us outside the store front, they came by to check on us and even made us some of their favorite drinks too! The paella itself was tasty too. It is not too soggy and had more of a homemade feel to it. Overall it was a delicious start to our Saratoga trip. I'd be excited to return to look at their other products!”

“Small but excellent specialty grocery store. You can probably find everything you need and more. It’s clean and well stocked. The meat section is pretty good. Marinated meats are seasoned just right. I will be back”

“Pretty good market. A lot of food from all over Latin America including blood sausage. Staff is friendly and everything is pretty straight forward. They have a few items you really can't find at most markets so it's worth. Prices is fair and parking is decent overall.”

“I always purchased from Genes Mkt. One day I asked the butcher where they got them from...the rest is history. When you see and enter the shop it's like out of a scene from The Soprano's. They have the glass cases, the refrigerator storeroom in the back, and the processing area to the left. Very minimal, old school. The best. I always place my order ahead of time and they have it ready. Hot or mild, in the casing or bulk. Family run and owned. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You will be kicking yourself in the butt for not knowing about them sooner. Oh, by the way, the sausages are delicious !!”

“Family owned business. Pricey but what isnt now in days. Carnitas on a Saturday morning are the best. Dried beef jerky, also thr best. Get it by the pound. Produce is OK.”

“Always best place to grab groceries when in a hurry. Slightly disappointed when I asked a question regarding the usage of my EBT card and what I received where mug faces from both cashier's. But still it's a great store.”

“Small local grocery store with groceries from India and Middle East. I would recommend it specifically for those items. I like their spices. I would not recommend their fruits/vegetables. They are not bad, but price/quality ratio is better at Safeway or a similar, larger supermarket.”

“Definitely a nice supermarket considering it's part of the Safeway family. The fruit was very fresh, the store was clean, and they had more specialty foods then a regular Safeway. The great thing is you still have Safeway prices.”

“The ambiance is simple. The food is great and there is a variety of selection of meats. Also, friendly & simple service. Food was good, although i didn't get too eat inside because i was waiting, the food was still good. Will be going back soon & if i have further notes i shall add onto this. Good too know there is a shop like this near the area i am at.”

“They opened again after a year of hiatus. Convenient place to get fresh and high quality chicken/duck in bay area. The staff was super friendly and willing to get me small stuff (onion/lemon) that is not for sale there. Highly recommend!”

“I was really impressed with the excellent quality of meat and the staff’s service! 90 people ate their meat, and everyone was thrilled. In particular, the bulgogi seasoning fascinated everyone, and their radish soup was enough to warm up the cold weather. It is true that their products are more expensive than other places. However, the quality and taste of the meat are enough reasons to pay the price and purchase it. Thank you very much!! Happy New Year for Angus Meat Staff!!!!!!”

“I'm happy to write a review for Halal Meats, a Butchery that also has a cooked food section on the side.Firstly, the quality of the meats at Halal Meats is exceptional. The butchery offers a wide range of halal meats, including beef, lamb, chicken, and goat, all of which are of the highest quality. The meat is always fresh and well-packaged, making it easy to transport and store at home. The butchers are friendly and knowledgeable, and they are always happy to help customers choose the right cut of meat for their needs.In addition to the butchery, Halal Meats also has a cooked food section, which is a great option for those who want to grab a quick and tasty meal. The food is freshly prepared, and the menu offers a variety of options, including kebabs, burgers, and curries. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are generous, making it a great value for money.The staff at Halal Meats are always welcoming and friendly. They take pride in their work and are always happy to answer any questions customers may have. The store is always clean and well-organized, making it easy to find what you're looking for.”

“The goat biryani is excellent. I drive all the way from Los Altos to pick it up. Have earned lots of brownie points for giving it to friends who don't want to drive 50 miles round-trip to pick it up.”

“This place is not as bad as other "Yelpers" are making it to be, however this place can use a slight face-lift. It's not necessarily a place to do your full blown shopping. Items that are "popular" to the so called American customers and not so much to the Brown Indigenous (Native American/Mexican,etc) yes those items will obviously be outdated. I mainly go there for the queso fresco Mexicano and purple corn tortilla and at times I get other items that are likely to be in high demand GET IT. For example I won't go to an "Asian" market to look for tortilla or Tapatio hot sauce WHY because I know at that particular store it's not in HIGH DEMAND!!!!”

“Pretty good market. A lot of food from all over Latin America including blood sausage. Staff is friendly and everything is pretty straight forward. They have a few items you really can't find at most markets so it's worth. Prices is fair and parking is decent overall.”

“I didn't find what I was looking for but I went to another store...but the store is good, only the parking lot is very full because of the other businesses...”

“A truly fantastic place to buy Asian products I was looking to bring something to buy Asian friends that invited me to a party so I had to bring a dish one in there they were totally helpful gave me some advice about it took it to the party and I was the The talk off the party afterwards I would highly recommend this fine grocery chain I believe if I'm not mistaken how to light a misconceptions however I was proving wrong highly recommended”

“I'm local and shop here fairly often. I'm also a gringo but love coming here to practice my Spanish and peruse all the unique things in this really nice Hispanic market. Here are the best points for me: 1.) The produce and meat are good quality and the prices are great. 2.) They have killer salsas and guacamole fresh made along with cheeses and cremas. 3.) The marinated meats are really good and great to take home and bbq. 4.) The lunch bar provided me with probably one of the best chicken burritos I have had in the South Bay for only $10. Restaurant downtown didnt even come close and charged me $18 for a burrito. 5.) The employees are nice and speak Spanish to me and its really fun. 6.) The place is very clean and neatly organized so whoever manages this place does a fantastic job. 7.) I can get a weeks worth of great food for half what I would pay at Whole Foods. 8.) I love hot sauces and they have a vast selection here and fresh made salsas as well. 9.) Local Hispanics stare at me with interest in the store and many greet me with a smile and say hi... they are really happy to see me in their community. Some have even struck up a conversation with me so I can practice more Spanish! Lots of fun. If you want to pay $17 a pound for dolphin safe, organic, free range, cruelty free chicken go to Whole Foods. If you just want regular chicken, which you will notice zero difference, go to Arteagas! All around a Gem in Willow Glen and Highly Recommended.”

“Best place to get your tacos and burritos. La Plaza Market is one of the best places to get your burritos. Their burritos have a very savory flavor, you can taste all the ingredients all in one. They have a variety of sizes, their meat is fresh and always delicious. They give you a good portions of food with great flavors. Their customer service is great, very nice people with a good attitude. Overall, one of the best spots for great Mexican food.”

“I only had their wrap. It took about 15 min, but it was made fresh. Incredible flavors. I asked for spicy. It was so good I ate both wraps, even though I was getting full after the first. Cost was ~$9.”

“My preferred go-to for quick shopping needs. Today, I grabbed essentials for the upcoming week – accidentally opting for a case of water instead of a gallon. The rotisserie chicken, a personal favorite, impresses with its ideal temperature and tender texture. The variety extends to vegetables, fruits, spices, red meats like pork and beef, and options for white meat with fish and chicken. Pastries and bread are also on offer. The aisle is consistently clean, with well-organized and stocked shelves. Checkout is a breeze, thanks to numerous self-checkout counters. Ample parking space and a well-maintained deli, where ready-to-eat food can be ordered, further enhance the overall shopping experience.”

“Hace unos días fui a comprar a esta tienda y la cajera llamada Elizabeth Zalaya me atendió muy bien, es muy amable, me ayudo a encontrar un producto también la señora llamada Lucy es muy amable, les recomiendo esta tienda bastante. Just came here to buy a few things and the cashier was super nice. I definitely recommend this súper market.”

“Everything is very good in this location I love the services of everyone very friendly everything fresh everything clean except for today 03/22/24 this girl supposedly manager called sweet very rude I will not go into details I came very happy to buy my purchases and she ruined my day I hope I don't experience this class again experiences I got in line because they said they opened the next line I was about to put my things in when she told me that another person was in front of me the person who was at the other register She left in front of me then she said that there was another person on the line when I looked that the other person was there because she was on the other line that's why I got on but very rudely she told me that I had to go back this had never happened as a manager It does not work”
