Has anyone tried any of their meat there? If so how is it? I'm interested in finding a good steak I can grill.

Good beef steak has to be wet aged or dry aged. Wet aged for 14 days will improve the tenderness but not the flavor (bland). Likewise dry aging for 14 days will tenderize but no flavor. Dry age for 31 to 40 days the beef will be very tender and very tasty. The process also shrinks the meat by about 15%. The only wet aged meat I have seen here (maybe more clientele in Guadalajara though) is the Arrachera cut. 31 to 40 dry age steak costs about $45 U.S. per pound in the U.S.A. That is uncooked.

In the past two or three years they introduced a dry aging technology which is easy to follow at home, using your home refrigerator and special bags:

I have some of these, but you cannot dry age individual steaks, you must age the whole subprimal cut. In the case of rib eye "cowboy" steaks or standing rib roast - that is a 5 kilo cut.

I have bought beef, pork and chicken from the Mr. Bull's in Chapala. Everything was clean and fresh...which is how I like my meat.

IMHO, the only good beef available here is at Costco.

Yeah...the bifstek was a lot more tender than what I have come to expect from Mexican beef. Haven't tried their filete because it's frozen and I can get very tender, unfrozen filete from the butcher just inside the main entrance to the Chapala mercado.

at the outside at the north corner is where i get it fresh off the pickup truck. fillet does not need aging as it is a different muscle than steak.

Ditto on the butcher just inside the main entrance, on the left, of the Chapala mercado publico. I am craving some of his smoked bacon, sliced thick.

all 3 of them sell good bacon[probably the same supplier] and his is the most costly. you know it's good because there is no, or very little nitrite as a preservative. we've had some go bad because we didn't consume it quickly enough.
never happened NOB.
