| - So I am an occasional shopper here at this market.. for a few reasons: we love their in-house made corn tortillas; they have a good selection of mexican treats (Bimbo breads and coconut bars) and if I'm buying conventional produce, their prices can't be beat. Also, their pan Bolillo is really good and cheap and their cakes (3 Leches) are pretty damn good.
OK, so here is where the minus comes in.. the BIG minus.
My husband and I used to go occasionally for breakfast (I'd usually order simple, straightforward things like carne asada tacos.. don't get much simpler than meat in a corn tortilla).. well, the last time we did this, I found my meat... ready?... wait for it... to be the color blue and purple. I had brown meat, but I had pieces of it that were blue and purple... no effin' joke. I thought it was a trick of the eye, but I closely examined it and ... sho'nuff, that shit was blue and purple. I immediately threw away my dish and never have I since ordered meat from their kitchen side.
That being said, I've also become more cautious in buying meats here... not to sound like a snob, but you bet I'm not buying my next cut of beef here! I'm cool with their breads and their cakes and tortillas and such, but if it comes to meat, I'm out the door.
I much prefer Pro's Ranch Market - the REAL Ranch Market.
