If you haven’t been here yet, go there immediately and realize the greatness. Your mind will be blown by the high quality. I picked up two bone in ribeyes yesterday, and it truly was one of the best steaks I’ve ever had in my lifetime. Thanks for the quality meats guys.

Really amazing little place! Its filled with all sorts of cured meats that they butchered. It has a lot of unique types of meats and flavors. The staff is very knowledgeable about the meats and happy to answer any questions. The meats are well priced and Very yummy! They also have some meat pies you can buy for a quick meal on the go.

The owner is really friendly and the sausages and broth are pretty darn good. They have a nice selection of charcuterie meats as well (didnt get a chance to try them yet but one day)

Had the lemon caper chicken sausage. Was really good, lemony, capery, coarse grind, had the ready to eat finnochiona dried salami. Fantastic, lots of fennel. Can’t wait to try more. Recommended.

All the products are amazing, Ive not had anything I didnt like. You can find all sorts of fantastic flavors and cuts here. The staff can be a bit pretentious and if you arent up on your cuts of meat or meat terminology it can be a bit daunting. My own insecurities aside, Ill keep coming back because it tastes great. This week I had duck mousse sausage and I think I can honestly say that Ive never tasted anything like it - it was exquisite and I would get it again in a heartbeat, except for the fact this was the end of a batch and the butcher said it may never be available again. A travesty if you ask me! Im hoping he is wrong and it makes a comeback next duck season.

High quality butcher shop with great product. I leave 3 stars because of the very limited stock they have (I called asking for more than 6-7 meat products and did not have any, lamb, duck, chicken livers, sausage and a couple more), and also because everything is already pre-packaged, so you cannot get the size you want or customize anything, which in my opinion is the reason I go to a butcher shop.

This is by far the best butcher I’ve ever been to. Their meats are incredible, their spices amazing, the service is friendly, these guys know their stuff. Every two weeks I travel from San Francisco to Santa Cruz to visit the kids and my granddaughter. I stop in here for lunch meats (then on to Companion Bakery 1 block away for fresh baked breads and scones), their beef jerky is to die for, filet mignon, skirt steak, bacon, everything is so good, I end up buying gifts for everyone. Oh yes, they are reasonably priced, too. I love Salchichero! ❤️

Good place to buy meats. Note this is not a restaurant, its a butcher shop.

Definitely coming back. Weve only been here once, and picked up jerky and salami, but the man who helped us was delightful and the products are tasty.
