The chicken poblano lunch plate is excellent. You can tell they have a grandma in the back doing all the cooking. The poblano crema gives the dish an amazing flavor. It's a lunch plate that actually feels worth your time and money.  Can't wait to try their other options.

Ruiz Custom Meats is a great local option. While they don't have the huge variety of HEB, they've got most of what I regularly need—quality cuts, good selection, and the convenience factor is huge. It saves me a trip, and the quality is there. Perfect alternative when you don't want to make the full HEB run

If you haven't tried their enchiladas, you're missing out. They hold their own against anything you'd find at the local spots in Laredo, but they're cheaper and way more convenient—you grab them and go. It's that homemade quality without paying restaurant prices. Highly recommend adding them to your order next time you stop by

Ruiz Custom Meats' Hunter's Corner makes deer processing incredibly easy. As soon as you make your kill, you can submit your order right there—pre-pay, deposit, or pay at pickup. No hassle, no waiting around. Their deer tamales are fantastic and that homemade quality shows. But the sausage variety is what really impressed me. The deer chorizo, jalapeno cheese, and salami and cheese are all excellent. Everything came out perfect. Honestly wish I'd ordered more varieties—I'm definitely coming back to try the rest of their lineup.

Their steak seasoning is a game-changer. I use it on way more than just steak. Jalapeno poppers, fajitas, brisket—AKA el chismoso. It's a solid seasoning that actually makes everything taste better. Grab some and try it. You won't be disappointed
