Soquel Quality Meat Market

This is my Go To Butcher shop in Santa Cruz! Art and the team have quality meat and they know how to butcher things excellent. From Tomahawk Ribeyes to whole briskets, pork shoulders to the best chorizo in town! Stop by and try for yourself. You won't be disappointed! Solid!

This is a fantastic, highly-variety butcher. I have previously visited this place for several cuts, including the pork belly and steak. Everything tasted great, especially the steak's marbeling! Without a doubt, we'll return to try more stuff.

Always great cuts of meat and selection of fresh fish, chicken, cheese, and Mexican meats. Will cut to order. Fresh veggies are good also. Really good prices.

Stopped in just to pick up a drink this morning. Was completely ignored by employees. 2 men working behind the meat counter. Walked the whole store so I know they saw me. Took my drink to the register and waited, and waited. Finally left.

Bought a few rib steaks here the other day. Not sure where this place gets their meats, but I must tell you the steaks had an off flavor, sort of gamey, hard to describe and tough. Barbecued them and the lack of marbling was obvious. For what I paid, was not what I was expecting with all the rave reviews this place gets. I have one steak left and will cube it up now for chili, don't think it will survive the barbecue by itself as it has zero marbling and don't want to deal with another tough, chewy and stringy steak. Sadly, will go elsewhere in the future.

I honestly can't recommend this place enough! My favorite meat store. The owner Artemio is amazing super friendly and helpful and always giving tips on the best way to cook your meat and also has the best seasoning in town. Staff is always super friendly that's a plus. The store is pretty small but definitely worth the meat. They also have a food truck that you won't regret especially their chicharron meat bomb!!!

We just checked out this place for the first time. We got enough chicken to grill for 5 people, bag of chips and house made guacamole for less than $10. It's a total steal. The marinade on the chicken was delicious too. Most the chips were just standard. I think a fifth star could be earned for some fried on site? But, otherwise we will be back.

Also, noticed a sign up for Organic turkeys avail for Thanksgiving. If I were cooking I would snag one here.

This store is the best!! We are Watsonville customers, we drive up to soquel just to this store to buy our meat. The best quality, selection, price.

Best local meat market around. I know the family and they pride themselves on bringing you the highest of quality items. Super friendly and helpful staff.

This is the Best place to stop on your way home from work. You can pick up your meat have it marinated and ready to go. All you have to do is throw it on the barbecue when you get home. Art, the owner is the best business manI know! He definitely knows his meat.

The shop has more than just meat products. You can pick up some fruits and vegetables and last minute toilet paper and paper towels.

Check out is always speedy. They are always ready to help you!

I recommend Soquel Meat Market to anyone wanting a good deal and high-quality meat.
