La Princesita Carnicera Y Tortilleria

What a great find!
Salsa bar, great veggies, other groceries and a killer meat market. Just ask for some carne Asada and they will even make a marinade right then and there!
They also sell nopales (cactus) tortillas.

This place is as good as it gets PERIOD. Nothing excels the UNIQUE experience anyone will have upon walking through the doors of this store. The staff is the friendliest in the area and always adhere to the customer’s needs. I love the set up for the fresh tortillas made daily and the wide selection of the delicious meat choices. Although a small place, I always find everything I need when I’m grilling up a carne asada with my family. This place has been here for many years and has held its place since then. I will highly recommend all the meats, (cut to your preference and marinated) tortillas, and chicharrones. They’re the freshest in the area!!! Love this store and is deff a number one choice!

This place is over priced and over rated. I can get meat cheaper then what they price their meat for. Not only that but the price of masa for tamales has increased every year. Is masa for tamales that expensive to make? And on top of that corn husk for $ 5.99? That is super expensive. Why would you over charge your own people? Thats so wrong. Loose up on your prices or customers will go else were.

Small Marketplace wither very cramped aisles.
Came here only for chicarrones and ended buying salsa too.
They have a small Salsa Bar with about 4 different types of salsas: green, red, pico de gallo & nopales pico de gallo. I got the green salsa and the nopales pico de gallo. The sauce was pretty fresh, but it was spicy as I would have liked.
The Green Salsa was very basic tomatillo, cilantro etc.
Nopales Pico De Gallo — tasty & fresh, but missing more lime to complete the flavor.
They carry a variety of meat cuts & marinated meats.
I wanted chicharrones and got that. They have pretty good cuts of meat, sometimes the meat chunks were still kinda chewy but it was still tasty. Not the best I’ve had, but not the worst. so EH.
Overall — I probably won’t be coming back as it was a trek away, but I did just want to see if it was any good. Maybe I should have gotten the Handmade Tortillas. Maybe for next time?

This place has some of the BEST flour tortillas around. You know… the kind with a bit of flour still on them… mmmm. Their chips, fresh salsas and guacamole are also pretty great. They also have a small produce section with your basic needs (i.e. tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, jalapenos, tomatillos) in case you need an item or two.

Most of the meats are not marinated, so you aren’t paying for some amazing secret flavor. They’re also not the freshest or highest quality meats you’ll buy, so you might as well hit up whatever supermarket is closest to you. And prices aren’t dirt cheap either, so the idea that this place presents a better value proposition is laughable. The tortillas are about average. Salsas and guacamole are slightly below average. English-​speaking ability is definitely below average. The I-​need-​to-​see-​your-​ID-​if-​this-​is-​a-​credit-​card gesture was unbelievably confusing and not at all indicative of the fact that she was doubting our identities.
All in all, a decent selection of things to get your fiesta on, but NOT worth going out of your way to come here specifically.

Tortillas are good, good selection of salsa bar. I live 3 blocks away from this place people are over reacting on the carne asada, its not all that. There are other carnecerias around in the neighborhood that are waaay better, I bbq all the time and tried this meat last weekend because of these reviews. Not impressed.

Best carne asada, period. This place rocks, tortillas are awesome, salsas are delicious, the cheeses, chorizo, chicken, all amazing.
Don’t bother going anywhere else for your grilling needs.

Best Ranchera marinada in East Los. Everything you need for a Mexican traditional carne assada.

Let me just say this place has the best Carne Asada (preparada). I grew up in
the area and still drive down here from the W. San Fernando Valley just to buy my Carne asada. This place is so worth the drive.

My family has been buying carne asada and tortillas from here for years. Whenever we have a BBQ we make sure to buy from here. The meat is of the highest quality and the tortillas are always freshly made. Make sure you buy some of their delicious salsas, it makes their already delicious meat taste even better. They have great prices for the highest quality meat around. The staff and butchers are also very friendly and will get you what you need to get your BBQ going. Next time you have a BBQ buy your meat from here, you will not be disappointed.

This place is so good, every time we have BBQs over at my crib we HAVE TO drive down and pick up some of their mouth-​watering marinated meat, some guacamole and the delicious fresh tortillas. I have been going for years and I cant get enough. The quality of the meat is amazing, and pretty unbelievable considering the great price you can get it for. I highly suggest coming here, you will not regret it.

This place is AMAZING! I used to shop at another meat market but when I tried La Princesita’s meat I never purchased meat from another meat market. You can seriously taste the difference. There is no comparison. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Their meat is prepared to perfection! When my family grills out we always buy carne ranchera (prepared), chicken breast, chorizo, yellow corn tortillas, (my favorite) and of course their tasty guacamole. This place has great food at affordable prices. If you live around or are around the area you must stop by to taste their great food.

I like this place but they don’t «Habla Engles» there so be prepared to point and use the numbers you know in spanish. I was having a Cinco De Mayo BBQ at my place so naturally I needed carne asada and tortillas… What better place than La Princesita Carnicera Y Tortillaria. They make their tortillas on site. I found this place on Unilocal and it was pretty close to my work.
They have a small salsa bar that you fill and pay by weight. I got the green salsa and red salsa.
Since the tortillas are made fresh make sure to refridgerate what you have left as they do tend to spoil faster than what you get packaged at the market. Their La Princesita brand tortilla chips were also really good!
Overall good expierence. Parking along the street in the neighborhood.
I’ll definately be coming back!

Yum!
I went with my mom because Ive heard such great stuff about their warm tortillas and delicious food.
Its a butcher, tortilla, food to go and small mexican shop.
I was confused at first, couldnt figure out where to order. You have to walk to the back where the butcher is and place your food order. I got a delicious burrito. It was yum, however, there was no cheese, sour cream or guac :(that was sad.
My mom boughh 2 gorditas and said they were yum and large. She also had the champurado and it was so good she drank it all while we waited for our food order.
She bought some other items from the butcher shop and I will review them once she tells me if they are fresh and delicious. I will be back :)

This place is awesome I never have a complete weekend until I have my daily fix of Carnitas and awesome Chicharon. Don’t even get me started on the perfect Meat selection perfect Quality for any grilling that your heart desires. The marinades so delicious you can compare it to the nectar of the gods as if it flowed from Aphrodite’s teet. Screw wherever you go buy meat or anything that is considered Mexican if your mexican and you don’t come here you aren’t considered Mexican. Warm corn tortillas, masa, menudo, and the best flour tortillas too, screw that smelly pack of Guerreo tortillas you buy at Food 4 less you have to come here to experience the quality of a true Mexican meal.

All I have to say is the carne asada is bomb! I drive from Orange County just get Carne Asada. Thats how good it is. If you’re going to bbq this is the place to get your meat.

My family has been coming here for years! They make their tortillas fresh daily and their carne asada is the best! It is super tender and packed with flavor… I also really enjoy their Chicarrones! my uncle lives in claremont and they drive to east los angeles to get their carne asada and pollo preparado from this place!

If your a fan of Carne Asada, Tortillas, Carnitas, THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!
I think its become a bit of a landmark, everyone knows this is where you buy your meat for your carne asada! Seriously this is the best in town! Carne Ranchera! The Marinated Chicken, Chorizo, yes best selection of Mexican meats ever! And they will also marinate any meat you buy for free! My Brother loves to get the costillas marinated to grill on the bbq.
Also freshly made tortillas hot off the presses! I love, love these tortillas, I grew up on them and love them. My dad (whose mexican) won’t eat any other tortillas, these are a staple in my home!
I must also recommend the carnitas and chicharrones! They are seriously the best i ever tasted!!! The carnitas are both crispy and tender at the same time, yum! and for you food adventureuers they also have Buche and Tripas.
Oh and dont forget about the salsa bar, they have the best fresh salsas there. You can never go wrong with taking some fresh Pico de Gallo or Guacamole home.

Carnicera y Tortilleria. What can I tell you about the place that the name doesn’t already? Oh wait, you don’t read spanish? Meat and Tortilla place.
This is a butcher shop as well as a tortilla maker. And some fresh tortilla’s they make! Really great and warm and ready to go. Again, I can’t stress how good the tortillas are. And if you’re feeling adventurist then you can take the masa for the tortilla home like that and make them yourself. But you really can’t go wrong with getting a 100 pack of tortillas here and taking them home. Warm stuff all the way.
On the butcher side of things, you really can’t get a better selection of meats for grilling. Have it be for the 4^th of July or whatever other chance you get to grill up meat, this is a one stop shop.
Piernas de pollo sin hueso marinadas… Holy hell, you will never taste marinated chicken leg meat like this anywhere else. In fact, you can’t go wrong with having them marinate any of the beef pork or chicken cuts you take home with you.
Like any good Carnicera they have the warm food going under the heat lamp. So take home some fried pork skin for a snack on the drive back.
