Mexican Meat Markets (Carnicerias) - Are there any? (Charlotte, Gastonia: home, live)

[damaranicole]

Does anybody know if there are any Mexican Meat Markets (Carnicerias) anywhere in Charlotte that sell GOOD carne asada? Not sure if it was just a California thing, but I'm getting a hankering and we have had no luck yet. I'd be willing to go to Gastonia too. Thanks!

Bet you could find it in Monroe.

Yep, they are all over. Seriously though, any thing that says "taquiero" or "carnecerias" you better check the sanitation grade.

If you find one let me know, back home (ca) we had a great one very close to were we lived! Such nice people would really help us out since my spanish is that great!

My husband would grill the carne asada and they were the best tacos!!!!

Such memories

if you don't find any carne asada, let me know and I will post a recipe for making your own....pretty easy but it has to marinate overnight

Definitely one in Monroe on Hwy 74 (Roosevelt Ave) next to the Health Dept. and DSS. You might take a ride down South Blvd between Harrelson Ford and Tyvola, you ought to find some there. if you want good "authentic" Tacos, try the Taqueria La Unica on South Blvd. across from Harrelson Ford.
