I have always wanted to use a local butcher that really knew their stuff as opposed to the supermarket guy that just knows packaging but has no real knowledge of butchery. I have been to many around town but they were all way too expensive and "hoity toity". Guerras has real butchers and the prices are very competitive. The service was exceptional and you could watch the butchers working behind the counter. I now have a new "go to" and I am so happy!
