Martinez Meats

Best tacos in town. Had the Tacos Capitan con El Pastor… OMG heaven. They grill fresh Jalipeno peppers and serve them along side. Sopes de Asada were also excellent. If you are looking for good quality meat to take home and BBQ. This is the place to get it.

Have to say today was not their day. It was hot inside. I think the son was taking orders but didn’t take them down right. The soda machine was down and the bottled drinks were all warm. There was water leaking inside the raw meat section. We come here and bring out of towners there for the best tacos in the high desert. But today was a horrible day to celebrate my birthday dinner. Once we got our tacos we didn’t get any limes or chilies and a couple of tacos were not made right. We weren’t the only dissatisfied customers there. We ordered 21 tacos total and had forgotten 3 more so we placed an order with the son and after 20 minutes went by, my husband ask the boy if he had told his dad (the cook) and the boy said he had forgotten to place the order with him. So we left instead of suffering in the heat.
Martinez needs to step up their game or they will lose their customers.

Had these guys cater for our party.
We had ordered 4 types of meats and they only brought 3.
I showed the guy the receipt that CLEARLY listed the 4 meats and he said that he had forgotten but they had «doubled up» on carne asada for the missing meat.
Makes no sense, because if they had forgotten they wouldn’t of «doubled» the meat beforehand. Also, its not a little taco stand, its a taco trailer. So if you have a small backyard or cant fit the trailer in your home, dont bother.
Overall, tacos were ok.
Tortillas were kinda dry.

The tacos are good. Most of the time. The place lacks consistency. One day you have raw onions, the next day they throw grilled onions on the tacos (which I am not a fan of). It’s absolutely filthy inside the store, it could use a good cleaning.

Great food. Love the portions and carne Asada fries. Not going to lie tho the place needs to be cleaner. I dont go back because my brother nd I got grossed out last time we were there.

Everything I’ve had here has been very good… Carne Asada, pollo asada, cabeza and lengua tacos and burritos are great! The burritos are a very generous size including beans, rice, onion, cilantro and salsa. Tacos are $.89 each and the burritos were around $ 5 I’ve also purchased bags or their tortilla chips, salsa and corn tortillas, ALL are very satisfying and priced very reasonable. Do yourself a favor when in the area and stop in, you WILL NOT be disapointed!

Awesome and Authentic. Small meat market that makes some of the best mexican food. They have a large variety of choices for such a small place. They also cater either by buying trays or hiring the truck but you need 50 people for the truck. I plan to buy some of their meat next time and cook up either the already prepared carne asada or fajitas or perhaps some of the very thinly sliced milanese meat and/​or chicken breast impossible to find that thin in the grocery stores. Not sure how they do it for Mexico but in Italy it is breaded in flour, egg wash, and bread crumbs and cooked in olive oil served with french fries and peperonata (a mix of different colored bell peppers and tomatoes).
For lunch I had the carne asada burrito which had what else carne asada, rice, beans and salsa. It was very tasty and quite large. They included 4 tiny containers of green and red salsa though I preferred the green. I think it was $ 5.00 and change. My husband had the carne asada fries. That was awesome! French fries with carne asada, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and probably some salsa. It was piled high in a to go container. There was a more than ample amount of meat on top. It cost a little over $ 6. Both of these are with tax so probably $ 4.99 and $ 5.99. Well worth the price.
Very very yummy place. Plus they speak english for us gringos.
I consider this inexpensive but perhaps it is moderate hence the prices in the review.

This place has the best carne asada in town. Although this market is a little on the small side, they have lots to offer. I was worried to go in here since I don’t speak spanish, however everyone was very nice and willing to help me. I have ordered their burritos and tacos and they are delicious. They have a full menue of items you can order as well as a full counter of meats that you can purchase. When ever we plan on a BBQ we always get our carne asada here.
Don’t let the small space fool you!
