Better Meat & Produce

You can buy they're meat from the butcher section which is always in great condition or u can buy your own meat n bring it to them to cut. They're extremely fair. In addition, their prepared food in front is A-1. All types of options from chicken, beef, fish, steak and multiple rice options. I personally always get the black rice with eggs n other protein in it. It's a must try. Definitely a gem in Teaneck. Enjoy.

Very honest people. I left my credit card and when I returned 2 Days later, since it was the last place I used it they had it ready for me. Not only can you buy food to cook, they also sell a large variety of delicious and healthy cooked food. Very convenient to shop here. Thank you

Great place as well they have all you need as far as Spanish food.

Convenient but small spot. They have the best hot Latin food service. Economical. Love this spot... feeds my Dominican food demands.

I dont shop here. They serve hot food. Honestly you cant beat the price for that level of quality.

Not just meats and produce. I visit the cooked foods section where I can get a Hispanic breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I live around the corner and needed romaine hearts. They had only one kind available: FOXY 3 ROMAINE HEARTS in a bag for $4.49, which was fine. I paid with credit card and they added on 3% credit card fee, which I thought was inappropriate (no signage by chip reader). I would have understood if there was a $5-10 credit card limit with a signage. I just feel a GROCERY STORE should be able to offer same price whether it's cash or card, since this isn't a cash business.

I usually go for their hot food dishes which are very good, if you get there early. They make good sandwiches and smoothies. Meat department in the rear. It's a small scale supermarket. Latino owned, I'm guessing. The staff is friendly and helpful. It's well stocked with maby products from the Dominican Republic.

dominican food / meat market what can i say humm some very friendly others with that grumpy face lol. The men are very helpful and friendly. The isles are usually kept very clean and neat.

I love the hot food they offer. My husband favors the ox tail, while I go for the chicken or salmon (or whatever other fish they have that day.) the vegetable medley is delicious, platanos too. My daughter adores the rice and beans. Authentic, fresh and a quick stop. The parking lot is often full, but wait less then a minute and you will get a spot. Whenever I work late or don't feel like making dinner, this spot is one of my go-tos. Groceries for anything else you may need and everyone is friendly. If my daughter comes with, she gets a delicious fresh made smoothie. Great place for all in my family.

It's like having a "bodega" in the middle of Bergen County. I enjoy the butcher counter. They have the regular staples plus more (oxtail, goat meat, etc). Don't forget to look behind the counter for the hanging bags of chicharonnes. Eat with caution... Love the variety of Latin spices and dried peppers. I needed dried chipotle and guajillo peppers for a recipe and they had an overabundance. To continue with my love affair, the hot food buffet is such a great lunch option. Everything is take out and sold by the pound. Give me that ox tail stew on top of some rice and beans! For produce, they do have some hard to find stuff but I prefer the freshness at the farmer's market.

Before the virus I shopped there often, today i went there for something for a friend that they didn't have in stock last week, they was supposed to receive yesterday, did see it and asked a worker ab a price of an item , he was the rudest person I ever came across, he was actually shouting and saying that I was there everyday checking prices, other customers was watching, I complained to the person in charged at the moment but nothing was done , do customers really have to put up with that kind of service in Teaneck, i definitely wouldn't go there anymore

Food spoiled just a day of refrigeration, food preparation maybe an issue. I have bought and keep left over even more than a day in the fridge and they never spoiled like this fast. I hope they will look into this.

This place was a lifesaver I had my whole family (20) sleepover for my birthday weekend. I ordered Dominican breakfast everything was fresh, taste good presentation was on point. My family was so happy it's not everyday you get to eat tres golpe

if I can give no stars I would. do not buy anything from here. i bought chicken breast tried cooking it and it seemed fake the cans of corns and beans were expired. this place is terrible.

i went to pick up lunch for me and my daughter. The person behind the counter ( shorter guy) plated my 1st order ( rice, bans and chicken). As i was getting ready to order the my food, he walks away to get rice. The 2nd person behind the counter sees me and says "ok he is taking care of you" and continues to serve the customers behind me. As i continue to wait, guy returns with a tray of rice which he divided into another tray. I wait but then he walks away and begins cleaning the slicer. After waiting as the other lady continues serving folks behind me, i ask the guy if he will finish taking my order. he turns around and says that he was getting the white rice and that without it, no rice was going to be served. Ok i told him i didn't want white rice but he continues mouthing off. i told him that he could eat the order that completed and walk out. I have been going to this place for the past 3 years since i moved to Dumont, NJ. I regularly buy lunch, on Saturdays i go and get a soup along with other meats and cold cuts. My money will go to some place else. Good luck Better Meats.

I moved to Teaneck about a year ago and so many ppl recommended this place. To me it's just ok. I didn't like my sancocho the first time I came here and then I decided to get some mangu today and that was not good at all. Very bland and even the onions did not help. Even the salami was flavorless. I do like the store in itself but I'll pass on the cooked food.

You need to know that they are charging tax every time you use your card. The first receipt shows an amount and your bank statement shows another charge.

Chicken or beef meals for $5 and fish meals go for $7 or $9. It comes with rice(w/ or w/o beans), and sweet plantains. Great home cooking type food. Nice people. Parking can be hectic. Plus its a grocery so you can get Spanish ingredients. Definitely recommend you grab a plate if you are looking for a quick bite.

In September 2011 this really terrific neighborhood grocery store opened and it's been a hit ever since. True to the heritage of its Hispanic owners, you'll find Central and South American specialties as well as Boar's Head delicatessen products. There's a wonderful prepared food section where you can get a king sized take out dinner for a very good value. You'll also find an excellent fresh produce section, fully stocked dairy counters and an amazing butcher department in the rear. Prices are very competitive to the nearby big name supermarkets. As clean as a whistle with a helpful and friendly staff, it's no wonder this store is such a success.

So since moving to teaneck in 2013, we've done just the basic shopping here. We decided to get an order for an event. Considering the food is actually better than other Spanish restaurants in the area. This was a last minute order so it was a long shot. Just my luck as I go pick up the order on the date and time scheduled, the order was never made. But the cook and staff said the ball was drop on their end and they'll make it right. I waited for about 20min and I got what I ordered. They are more than friendly and always willing to go the extra mile.

The prepared food is so good! Seriously a hidden gem in Teaneck, the Spanish food here is delicious and at such a great price. I personally love the oxtail, ribs and plantains. My mom and I got a whole platter of oxtail, ribs and rice for $12, not bad at all!

Spanish grocery store with a hot bar. My daughters want it almost every time we pass.

Floors looked dirty and unkept. Don't even bother coming here if you don't speak Spanish as most of the employees here barely speak a lick of English. They look at you crazy if you ask them a question. The owner Fernando was not helpful at all.

I have been eating there for a few months. I find that sometimes the food is great and others times just ok...it's Hit or miss.However the soups are usually good ......however I was extremely disappointed when today I had my friend go and pick me up two large...she's didn't realized how horrible the soup looked. Cause the server's back was towards her. Anyway, It was two large containers of thick over cooked noodles....it was so horrible that it not only tasted horrible .....but looked like mush. It had no chicken, no potato .....no nothing. Just overlooked thick mushy noddles. The other bowl had 1 tiny piece of potato and a bone...yes ...just a bone lost in a thick mushy Noodles. I called them for hours cause I could not get down there that day and my friend had to go to work ...but after non stop calling ....no one ever picked up ( Not unusual) So I might just have to throw this is the garbage .....I am terribly disjointed that they would consider to served that to their customers..it was not fit for a dog...no offense dog lover :) just saying . They better give their customers more respect than that or they will go out of business if they make it a happen of serving food that they obviously messed up on...just not to lose money. Losing customers is losing money. Word of advise .....ask to see it before you buy it and take it home .
