Mercado Don Juan

Is there less then one star? Purchase 10 pounds of carne asada and 5 pounds of chicken. I was given bad meat. A piece of the chicken was green. The carne asada was on the verge of being completely bad as well. When I took it back I was told I could exchange the meat for 2 pounds of any other meat. Really 2 pounds when I purchase 15 pounds. Don’t go here they will rip you off.

I love to BBQ, and am very passionate about making my food on the grill as tasty as possible for my guests… so I will apologize for the length of this review in advance.
First off I drive all the way from El Monte, to get to this market, for all of my major Family/​Friend BBQs… why? The Chorizo! I have never purchased finer Chorizo anywhere in LA… it is made of real meat! It doesn’t fall apart, or taste terrible… everybody raves about it at my BBQs because it is just that dang special. Secondly, the chicken and carne asada (they have 2 different cuts! One in tasty strips, and the other cut in the traditional way) are amazing… great, great, quality. Lastly because I like the food they make in house a ton! The portions are generous (try a meat quesadilla, there will be so much meat on it, you might actually not even finish it!) and extremely good quality. I always buy beans and rice for my hosted events to serve, and everybody raves about the beans… truely delicious. Anyway, I am surprised nobody else has written a review yet, but this little hole in the wall «carneceria» is worth trying. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
