tomgates Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 In years up until Covid struck, I could rely on Costco Galerias to have prime steaks, on weekends. For future reference, does Costco still sell them and the approx cost? Thanks. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 You could try Los Tres Butchery on the lateral mountain side east of TelMex. They sell US beef and Sonora. We buy the Sonora and it is great. US $$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We buy the Senora and it is great. US $$. We used to live in SONORA and almost all of the good beef was shipped out of there and probably most of it arrived here. We buy the SONORAN rib eye from Los 3 Butchery. YumYum! We don't think it is that expensive compared to buying other beef products locally that you simply can't cut or chew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Yes. We buy Sonora all the time at the Butchery. They also have a selection of imported US beef but more $$ than Sonora. We prefer the Sonora over US as Sonora is tender and great flavor. They also have many more choices other than beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the State of SONORA, not Senora. Senora (señora) = madam, lady, ma'am, - dama, amiga, 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibarra Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Sunshineydays - I know there are real problems to deal with but, some days you just have to vent. Don't get me started on Sorianos vs Soriana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted January 3 Author Report Share Posted January 3 I asked about USDA Prime that used to be at Costco Galerias on weekends. Seems like someone there could verify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafterbr Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 There is a misconception about USDA inspected meat. Just because it is USDA inspected does not mean the meat comes from the United States. Cattlemen in the USA have tried to get legislation to show where the beef comes from but so far this has not happened. So the USDA steak could come from Mexico, Canada or anywhere. There are government inspectors but meat processors can apply to be their own inspectors and apply the USDA certification. So the steak you buy may not be USA meat and may not even be government certified. Here in Mexico I would buy Sonora steaks just as quickly as USDA certified ones. Costco probably knows where their steaks come from but I am sure many suppliers do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oatsie Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 I few years ago in Canada I bought some "New Zealand Lamb" at the grocery store. At home, I read the fine print. The lamb was from Ontario and packaged and sold by the New Zealand Lamb Company of Toronto...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunFan Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Finally tried Los Tres and I agree with the reviews. I've had the frozen Strip Loin and Rib Eye. Both were excellent and at a reasonable price. Chicken - not so good Lamb - I've had better locally I'm a regular customer for beef. I will try Brisket next. If the frozen is that good I wonder what fresh Sonora beef would be like?
