In 2024, two fraternity brothers and life-long friends opened Carniceria El Pacifico, a Latino-owned butcher shop, providing a premium selection of unbelievably delicious meat (including USDA Prime Beef & U.S. No. 1 Pork) and other barbecue/dinner time essentials to the Gardena community. When it comes to the cuts of meat and quality of ingredients going on your family's plate, the staff at Carniceria El Pacifico adamantly believe the people of L.A. deserve only the best; let our butchers, with over forty years of combined experience in the pork & beef industry, handle your order-- be it for personal, restaurant, or catering meal occasions.
Not only will you find the finest selection of USDA Prime Beef and U.S. No. 1 Pork at Carniceria El Pacifico, but you will also find freshly-squeezed & pressed fruit & veggie juices, traditionally handcrafted salsas & guacamoles (molcajete-style), and a variety of BBQ essentials. In addition, if you love weekends just as much as we do at Carniceria El Pacifico, head on over for our ceviche and carnitas made in small-batches (note: come early, as we sell out often)! Feel free to sample our juices, inquire with our butchers on the best cut of meat for a dish you plan to cook, or check out our monthly specials next time you're in town!
All of the beef at Carniceria El Pacifico is certified as USDA PRIME; only 2% of steaks are graded as USDA PRIME, meaning you are purchasing the best of the best, everytime you order with us! Our butchers can marinate your meat onsite so it's ready to throw on the grill or grind any cut of steak into patties for burgers.
We make small batches of carnitas in-house, every Saturday. Our carnitas sell out quickly, so we recommend calling ahead of time for special orders!
Are you interested in upgrading your party or dinner with USDA Prime Beef, the Carniceria El Pacifico way? Do you have any questions on what cut of steak or pork will optimize the flavor of a dish you're preparing? Do you want to place a special order or ask our butchers for a custom cut? Feel free to contact us in the manner that best suits you, and we will do our best to reply in a timely manner!
Our storefront is open Monday to Saturday from 8AM to 5:30PM and Sundays from 8AM to 2PM. Holiday hours vary.
We reccommend calling ahead of time to ask for catering orders or for custom steak cuts. Call times will vary during peak hours and holiday seasons!
Please note: The staff at Carniceria El Pacifico are currently overcommissioned; please allow 2-5 business days for an e-mail reply. We continue to work diligently throughout the day to respond as possible. Thank you for your patience!
