If you're in El Paso and craving authentic carnitas asada, one of the best options I've found is Mi Tierra Meat Market. Located at 12102 Montwood Dr S-1, this market stands out because their meat is already marinated, saving you the hassle of marinating at home while locking in incredible flavors. The staff are friendly and often ready to help you with various cuts, including their popular arrachera. What impressed me most is their freshness and variety. Alongside well-priced cuts of meat, you can pick up fresh ingredients such as ripe avocados, fresh cilantro, white onions, and their house-made salsas to complement your meal. Their prices are reasonable—chicken, steaks, and other meat options range from $4.99 to $10.00 per pound depending on cut and seasoning. They also offer guacamole, tostadas, and other sides to round out your carnitas asada experience. Mi Tierra’s operating hours are convenient, open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sundays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., which makes planning for spontaneous cookouts easier. They even have a reputation for some of the best arrachera in town, which is already seasoned and ready to grill to perfection. For those unfamiliar with carnitas asada, it’s a Mexican dish featuring grilled meats, typically skirt steak or flank steak, that are flavorful and juicy. Having your meat pre-marinated like at Mi Tierra ensures you get a perfectly spiced and tender result every time without the guesswork. I recommend pairing your carnitas with fresh homemade salsas, sour cream, and sliced limes for an authentic experience. Don't miss out on their freshly made guacamole and crispy tostadas available at very reasonable prices. Mi Tierra is not just a meat market but a one-stop shop for all your Tex-Mex fiesta needs. Whether you're planning a holiday dinner or a casual family weekend meal, visiting this market has made my carnitas asada nights simple, delicious, and stress-free.
