After finding hairs in my menudo I was disgusted! Instead of returning to the store to complain...I wanted to find out for myself whether it was the from the animal who cooked it or from the cow itself and sure enough I found out tripe stomach meat does have hair similary to the ways cats have hairballs, it can be difficut for them to cough up. What i found out...When they butcher the cows they find the hair in the stomach and the meat should go through a cleaning process to get all the hair off in order to make that meat "human grade". Therefore, the meat they use somehow bypassed inspections and is what we would call "Pet food grade". After figuring this out, I will definately not eat meat from here ever again.

In my opinion, Carniceria Leonela has some of the best mexican food in the Springs. I get the same items because they never disappoint. Their rolled tacos are crispy and with just enough firmness(served with rice, beans, and guacamole). As far as tacos I recommend the lengua and tripas, not because their other carnes are not good but because these are the only meats iv tried. The lengua is soft and full of flavor and the tripas (get them crunchy) are perfect with a bit of avocado tomatillo sauce smothered on top. Ive been coming here for years and will keep doing so as long as theyre open for business. Thanks guys

I stood in line and had my number,93, called in Spanish. I went to the counter and said,"Id like chicharrones," which are unpackaged pork rinds. The butcher took his bloody gloves then grabbed a red bag and proceeded to fulfill my request. I stopped him and told him to please change his bloody gloves and to please give me a new bag for my pork rinds. He seemed a little perturbed but he took his gloves off and threw them on the counter. I said, "Thats Okay. Ill come back later". Their food hygiene between contaminated raw foods and cooked (clean) foods IS THE WORST! Id have to be desperate to go back THERE again.

Went there to buy cuts of meat that I am accustomed to from Germany. The quality, not just of the meats, but everything else is outstanding. I took a number, but had no idea when it was called because all conversations took place in Spanish. Mind you, at Wimbergers Bakery the staff always speaks in English unless the customer speaks German first - to ensure all ethnic groups are taken care of. Finally, after all Spanish speakers where taken care of, one of the butchers noticed me and helped me out. I would have liked to give the store 5 stars, but deduced one for having felt unwelcome.

I love this carniceria, i always find everything i want even to cook my puerto rican food. The downfall was today. The doors say they open at 8am. I arrived after 8am and the doors were closed. So the way i see it is, if you open the doors to your bussiness at a certain time, you should have your employees go in an hour early to set up everything and have things ready to open at 8am. Esta carniceria no la cambio por nada, seguire como cliente. Solo que lo de hoy no me gusto.

Ive been going here since 2004. Not sure I can go anymore. Been buying Ranchera meat since it was $3.69/pound. They are now charging $9.99 pound. Ridiculous price for such a cheap piece of meat. Time to find a new place.

Found everything I needed and more! The tamales are delicious! We found the Tapatio Dorito chips that we couldnt find anywhere else. We even found some Panamanian items which was a plus.

is a great place to buy your meats the prices are cheap, but they screw it the last time because I asked for turkey ham and they give me chicken ham and that sucks.
