Rancheros Carniceria to Open a New Location on Grant Road

Update: Grand opening date has been moved from Saturday, March 29 to Sunday, March 30.

Last summer, Robert’s Restaurant closed its doors at 3301 E. Grant Rd., opening up the opportunity for a local meat market and restaurant, Rancheros Carniceria, to move in.

Owner Luis Lopez purchased the building on Grant Road and immediately began remodeling. After a few months of interior demolition and restructuring, Rancheros Carniceria is ready to officially open on Sunday, March 30.

One-Stop Shop

Rancheros sells premium meats, fresh cuts, and ready-to-cook meals, but also serves tacos, burros, menudo, housemade tortillas to-go, freshly-made salsas, tamales, and produce like tomatoes, jalapeños, and other veggies to take home.

Tacos can be ordered individually with options like chicken, asada, pork chicharron, beef chiccharron, al pastor, chile colorado, carnitas, and birria. If you’re aiming for a heartier meal, toss any of those proteins in a burro or order them as a combination plate equipped with beans and rice.

If you’d rather prep your meals at home, one of Rancheros’ most popular items is carne asada, which comes marinated and ready for the grill. They also offer pollo asado, al pastor, chorizo, beef ribs, pork chops, thin-cut steaks, and ground beef, to list a few.

How it All Began

Rancheros Carniceria started with a simple foundation of family, tradition, and a deep respect for the craft. Lopez began learning the art of butchery when he was just 13 years old, a skill passed down through generations. His grandfather was a ranchero, his father worked in the meat industry, and those early lessons stuck with him.

Now, as Rancheros expands across Arizona, it’s still grounded in the same values: quality meats, honest service, and a community-first mindset.

Grand Opening

So, stop on by from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, March 30. Throughout the day, they’ll be handing out free samples while you shop around.

After the grand opening, the market/restaurant will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

There are three other locations:

• 7627 E. Speedway Blvd.
• 16142 N. Oracle Rd. in Catalina
• 337 AZ-77 in Mammoth, Arizona.

The new Rancheros Carniceria is located at 3301 E. Grant Rd. For more information, visit rancheroscarnicerias.com.

Heck, they even have a podcast.
