A family-run mercado and carnicería in Scottsdale, bringing the flavors of Cuernavaca, Morelos to the desert — hand-cut meats, warm tortillas, and a glass case full of pan dulce baked before sunrise.
Three generations, one butcher's case, and a kitchen that starts smelling of cumin before the sun is up.
We opened in 2009 with a single glass case, a tortilla press, and our grandmother's recipe for chile colorado. Today the case is longer, the bread shelves are fuller, and the kitchen still starts at five in the morning — but the family behind the counter is the same.
Same family, same counter, same recipes — since 2009.
Pan dulce leaves the oven before we unlock the front door.
Cuts of beef, pork, chicken & marinated meats ready for the grill.
Prices change with the market, but the cuts below are what's on the board most days. Ask at the counter for today's specials — carnitas on Saturday, barbacoa on Sunday.
The butcher's case is open from morning to night. The hot counter kicks in at 8am — weekend pozole and menudo tend to go fast, so come early.
Can't make it in? We deliver across Scottsdale and parts of Tempe & Phoenix through our partners. Pickup orders are ready in 20–30 minutes — call ahead and we'll have it bagged.
The shelves, the butcher's block, and the corner where the tortillas get pressed by hand every morning.
We're in Scottsdale, easy to spot by the smell of fresh bolillos and the line on Saturday mornings. Park in the lot out front, walk in, grab a number, and ask anybody behind the counter for what you need — we'll cut it, wrap it, and send you home with a couple of warm tortillas on the house.
