Meat Shops in San Jose, CA

“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 !!”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Los Cuates is a hidden gem for meat lovers. This market offers a wide selection of high-quality meats that are fresh and flavorful. Whether you're looking for marinated cuts or specialty sausages, they have you covered. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, always willing to assist and provide recommendations. The market itself is clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant shopping experience. If you're in San Jose and seeking top-notch meats, Los Cuates Meat Market is definitely worth a visit.”

“Great biryani. This is the first biryani i have tried in San Jose which has more meat than rice. Very flavorful and the meat is well cooked and tender. I would definitely visit again. I got some fresh goat meat as well which was really good.”

“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!!!!”

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.”

“Quintessential East San Jo Grocer. Very heavy lean on hispanic digs but I'd say also about the other 30% of the offerings here are legit Asian with a heavy lean on things Vietnamese. I stock my fridge and pantry with more things from places like this than say Safeway or Whole Foods, so I was a good fit for this place. The store is somewhat in the hood, there's a security guard up front all the time. The store is pretty big, bigger than most corner stores. This is probably the size of an old American grocery back in the day, when the Bay Area was about a third the size as it is today. The store is pretty clean and well stocked and I was able to easily spot some sweet ass deals. I have a side hustle in this area, so I'll pop in every 2 weeks or so and I usually leave with a nice sized bags worth of staples. I love their produce and meat counter here, much more ethnic in offerings. Asian greens, chiles of all sizes and heat, herbage and even a seasonal fruit or 2. Most great prices, beats both Safeway and 99 Ranch. Their meat counter is order by the piece or pound. Didn't see things pre-packaged so you will need an employee, which I actually find charming in an old school way. No big selection for things like steak (unless it is carne asada) but many things meant to get cooked low and slow, which is a very ethnic way to cook. So lots of meats for braising/stewing or even slow roasting, which is actually my preferred way to cook on most days. Huge offal area too, better and more thorough than anything I have in my local area. Definitely an old worlder's dream and an American suburbanites nightmare. Even though I live in the suburbs, I definitely live with more old world tendencies. The only part I didn't really care for over here was their seafood counter. Very sparse and looked a bit sketchy. Even an American grocery store had a more valid seafood section, and that's kinda saying a lot. But outside of that one knock, this place fits me quite well. I'll continue to shop here, as long as my travels keeps me in their path. A service that suits me well.”

“Nice store, especially for when needing mexican items or a deli item for those of us that can't cook mex with authentic flavor. Speaking by experience I really don't cook mex?”

“Super friendly, always greet people with a smile at the door. Ready to help. Delicious, fabulous ham. The service is great. I am disabled and they always help carry the ham to my car. Worth the price.Parking: It can get busy during peak shopping hours.Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible to wheelchair and the employees always help people with disabilities. Very kind.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“Good products, the only thing to note is that as a costumer we have to look for the carts in the parks, they never have them at the entrance. Bad, bring the carts for the customers.”
