Lake Havasu Carniceria

[FROGMAN524]

Is this place clean and any good? Other options for carne asada and such?

 

[Havasu Rehab]

I like it. Never had bad meat from them. I’ll even bring some back to CA in a cooler. They also make great breakfast burritos.

 

[gmnhra]

we use it all the time
no Montezuma revenge to date

 

[ultra26shadow]

It’s good just pricey. Other option is Food City they got pretty good Carne Asada and Pollo Asada. Best breakfast burritos in town.

last time i was in there, the carne asada was $16 a pound.....and it was the last time, i can marinate my own skirt steak

 

[warpt71]

Or Food City

I Just buy the pollo now.. their pricing on meat is ridiculous

 

[Hydroman55]

NO WAY and I’ll leave it at that.

 

[Fastdadtsmith]

Another vote for Food City over that market. Way to expensive for what you get.

 

[Rondog4405]

Last couple times I bought asada there it was tougher than shoe leather..

 

[DLC]

Food city is also really good

Like others have said

Well now we gotta hear it lol

 

[FROGMAN524]

Please go on

We buy our Carne Asada meat and chicken meat from there. Food city is 2nd for us.

I thought all you guys ate caviar. Penny pinchers.

 

[Cobalt232]

We like it. Pricy though, but I think we noticed that it was a little less last time we were there. Almost the same price as going out to a restaurant though.

 

[DWC]

It’s very good but if you’re feeding a large group the sticker shock is real.

 

[stephenkatsea]

Have gotten Christmas time tamales there a number of years. Always very good.

 

[Hydroman55]

Please go on

A friend picked up some meat and chips and let’s just say the chips had a dead passenger in the bag

a scorpian? lol

 

[sintax]

its good, but bring your wallet.

honestly i've gotten to the point where I bring legit meat out w/ me in an ice chest. My local spot i can get prime meats for the price they're asking for in havasu. If i'm out there and didnt plan, sure i'll go there and suck it up. Its a great little market though.

 

[Racer56]

They make great burritos.

 

[hallett21]

Great food everytime. I’d rather drop $100 there and make good food at home. Vs. going out and being disappointed. Plus our margs are better

 

[Racey]

The meat is good, but the store is barren, last time i had to go to another store to get the tortillas cillantro and onion.... But the meat was good.

Now that everyone mentions it, i do remember it being pricey though

 

[joecfd1]

We love it… Yes, it’s pricey… but what isn’t? We also buy their marinade and take it back to California and cook our own. BTW, their breakfast burritos are 100%!

 

[EarpRider]

I'm a regular, the roasted salsa is sooooo good!

 

[THE WIDGE]

I would stock up at Stater Bros and bring it. They just had it at $5.99 and meat is great.

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

Stop. I don’t need a line when I go in for lunch.

 

[dspracing]

I’ve walked in twice and walked back out. Can’t get myself to eat their food by the time I walk through the store.

Do they keep that in the back by the rice and beans?

You are crazy.. best lunch burritos in town

 

[Cobalt232]

I also like the telephone in the checkout area that you can use to send money to people Mexico.

 

[Socalx09]

I can’t remember if it was $40-50, but they use to have a family special with rice, beans, pollo and asada that would feed 5 of us. It was the best deal. That’s long gone.

 

[retaocleg]

dont disagree there....
the tacos are on point too........chicken and carnitas tacos at lunch time are the bomb
bring home carne asada price is the only issue with me....

 

[bigpapapump]

Road kill @ $13/lb. You would have to be a moron to eat that shit.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

Never found good marinated carne asada in Havasu, despite trying various places. Either the meat was tough, or we just didn’t like the flavor.

We always bought it in Redlands from a place called Ranch Market and brought it out. A little trimming and a short soak in some lime juice and grilled. Used it in burritos, tacos or chopped up in quesadillas.

Yup was just about to post about this. Pre Covid bs for 40 or so you got a couple pounds beef a couple pounds chicken… tortillas rice and salsa was a great deal.
