Amazing place has everything you need for Hispanics and has really good food too with lots of flavors
Not sure if there is any better Mexican/Latin American food in the Jackson area. I highly recommend the birria and barbacoa tacos.
Menudo was some of the best I have eaten since moving here from Texas. Also their meat market was stick with a variety of cut that I have not been able to find in other stores.
Carniceria Valdez is a great option for Mexican food and it is a great example that the best Mexican food comes from humble establishments rather than some high-end establishment heavy on atmosphere and ambiance. Carniceria Valdez is literally a counter in the back of a Mexican grocery, but coming out of that kitchen is some mighty fine Mexican food. I went with a couple of tacos and a gordita. For the gordita, I went with chorizo as the protein and for the tacos I went with the asada and the barbacoa. The tacos were just under two dollars each ($1.99 to be exact) and the gordita was, I believe, $3.50. I probably enjoyed the gordita the most and the chorizo was definitely my favorite protein out of my three choices. The staff was friendly enough, though the ordering process was you walk up to the counter and order your meal and they call you up when it is ready. All in all, I would definitely recommend here and I will give it five stars.
Food was amazing, if you are in the area and want authentic cuisine this is your place! Service was great as well.
This market has some delicious food. There is an area for you to sit and enjoy the food or you can take it to go if you like. They have like three food ordering places. One for meats, another for daily food plates and another for desserts. Real, authentic food and I think their juices are hand made. So good! I've always wanted to try the fruit dessert with chili flakes and well.. I did. lol, it's a required taste. It's not bad but I probably wouldn't order it again. It looked good though!
Deliciousness at its best. There is a bit of a language barrier but a smile goes a long way. They are nice and the food is the best Mexican I've tasted in the jackson area hands down. Please try their melon juice to drink, it's orange and taste like you've eaten ate a cantaloupe.
We got the Barbacoa and pastor gorditas, and oh man, we inhaled it so quick, I forgot to breath. From the crispy fried corn flour, to the well seasoned, tender meat, to the two different cheese that they used, this thing can take my breath away any day. We also got the asada torta, the asada was delicious, but I'm not a fan of tortas. The man really enjoyed it thought, fries wasn't seasoned and we usually like it more crispy. We ran into my friend, she let us try the fruit cup and the pineapple mango drink. Both were so good! The mango was sweet, tangy and had chile. We eat very similar flavors in the Asian culture, so I'm used to these flavor mash up, my American boyfriend, not so much. The pineapple mango smoothie drink was very refreshing, it taste like an all fruit smoothie with no fillers! I think I'm already ready to try the next dish here! And we just left. The man said "Easily one of the best Mexican food I've had in Jackson."
