A wholesale and retail butcher offering Latin American cuts and preparations a connected grill operation serving prepared food.
The kitchen specializes in halal-certified meat, a meaningful differentiator in a market where certified halal Latin American food remains uncommon in the city. The operation serves both home cooks buying bulk proteins (chicken, beef, goat, lamb, pork) and diners ordering prepared dishes, bridging the wholesale and restaurant divide. The beef outside skirt, known as entraña, is a signature cut that reflects the kitchen's grounding in regional butchery traditions where this particular muscle is central to the repertoire.
Try the pulled pork (carnitas/pernil), pulled beef (birria), grilled chicken, bbq chicken, halal jerk chicken.
