| - As others have said, this place is one of the best kept secrets in C-U. Sometimes grocery markets in town may have specials that beat their prices, but you won't get the quality that the meat salesroom has. The students who work the counter know almost as much as any butcher, and far more than the person you would speak with at any grocery store. To top that, they are eager to help, and able to deal with special requests.
As far as I know, this is the only place in town to get picanha, my favorite beef cut. It's not on their price list, but they usually stock a little bit of it, and it can of course be special ordered.
The prices do fluctuate, and they are not kept online, so it's wise to call before making a trip there. They also tend to sell out a lot, so keep that phone number handy. The parking lot south of the building is marked "permit only" at the entrance, but there are several spots reserved for customers, so it really is easy to visit, as long as you know their hours.
