La Carniceria Wagyu - Brea, California

My husband has been wanting to try this place for a while, so we finally gave it a shot. I ordered the Wagyu pastrami, which came with marble rye bread, and my husband got the Wagucci Trio on Dutch crunch bread.

The food was good, but I thought the price was a bit steep for what you get. I guess that’s just the norm these days. Overall, I’m glad we tried it!

Parked in this plaza to drop off oil after my boyfriend did an oil change on my truck, and happened to strike upon this tiny pot of gold called “La Carniceria Wagyu”!

It was lunch time and we decided to scope out the place and see what it was about. Upon entering, we were greeted by fresh cuts of meat and a widely enticing array of wagyu sandwich options. I ordered the Roast and my boyfriend got the Prime. We enjoyed our freshly made sandwiches at the park down the street.

Haven’t tried the chips and salsa yet, but I will definitely be coming back here for the halal options, wagyu beef cuts, homemade salsa selection and macaroni salad or potato salad freshly made. They also sell a haven of rubs for you to season your meat at this butcher shop.

Overall great experience and it was nice to meet Victor, a very helpful and friendly butcher!

Top 3 most sensational sandwiches I’ve had in my life! Really awesome to find a place that offers halal options. My go to is the Wagyu Hot House halal. Loaded with meat, I wish it had extra cheese, and the pickled onion cuts through the richness really well. Make sure to have it fresh with the bread still crispy. Pro tip: if you’re reheating it, put it in a microwave for 20 seconds to warm up the inside and then air fry it for 3 minutes to crisp up the outside. All the employees are great and super helpful. If you’re Muslim, be sure to ask for your sandwich to be halal. They permeate sandwiches on different surfaces and ovens and go as far as to substitute any pork with either beef or Turkey. They also happen to sell steaks. All Australian Wagyu is halal. Denver steak is perfect to me, you get a good amount of meat for the price. Their location can be sort of tight when it’s busy and parking can sometimes be a hassle. They recently put up signs for a couple reserved spots at the front of the shop. Go try this place out for yourself!!

Unreal. Absolutely worth the drive from Burbank. The best pastrami sandwich I’ve had - including places I love in Montreal and Toronto. Really happy to see they have a butchery too, got some marinated chicken and packed pastrami to go.

Don’t really get the high ratings.

Costco or Sam’s club has a much better selection of meats at a cheaper price. This place charges double what they charge for similar quality.

Service is also not good, owner was not here and one of the employees helped us out. Wasn’t very helpful and had a “whatever” attitude.

If I am about to spend upwards of $100 for a couple pounds of meat, be a little bit more enthusiastic yeah?

May come around again, but meh why would I come here when I could get wagyu at Costco too?

Sandwiches are good, but not worth the price. We're talking upwards of $23 for a single pastrami sandwich. C'mon guys. They do offer Halal meat though which is a big plus.

Quality Japanese, Australian, and American cuts of meat. You can sample the meats in smaller portions as one of their dozen sandwiches. Many interesting steak rubs are available, as well as tortillas, salsa, and steak butter.
