Culebra meat market — Local services in Lytle

Went today ,my first time there. They had some great BBQ bundles with several pounds of assorted meats. Meat was fresh.As they cut it I walked around,( knowing I would be posting a review). The vegetables were fresh and had a great assortment of spices! The only reasons that they didn't earn 5 stars are that there were BOXES everywhere, and behind the register it was cluttered. It's that it looked unorganized. It needs to look sharp,it's a business and I believe business would greatly improve if they would make it look more appealing.

So I walked into the Meat Marker and “Don Hector” helped me himself. First He told me he didn’t have a meat tenderizer (a meat market with no tenderizer?) then I asked him to cut it butterfly cut into pieces to have ready to cook for Father’s Day and this is what I got, a 2 foot slab of meat! Not only do we not have the right utensils out here at our ranch but this is why we went to the meat market instead of heb but man I have gotten better meat market service at heb. Not good for a small business owner, especially in these times. Good luck to them hope they change their service...
