About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary morning in Los Angeles when a delivery driver pulled up to La Michoacana Meat Market. The sun had barely risen over the city, and the market’s neon lights were the only sign of life on that quiet street. But something unusual caught his eye: a large wooden crate, wrapped in brown paper, stood outside the store's entrance. As he approached closer, he noticed a small hole in the wrapping paper. Peering inside, he saw what looked like a live chicken wiggling around. Turns out it was just a plastic toy, left there by a curious kid from next door. With a smile, the delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Another day at La Michoacana, never boring!’
2. It was just another day at the meat market when a regular noticed something peculiar on the sign above the deli counter: ‘Today’s Special – Beef That Never Walked, Talked or Dreamed.’ Curious customers started gathering around, snapping photos and whispering among themselves. The butcher shrugged and said, 'Well, it's organic beef—no hormones, no antibiotics!' A delivery driver joked, 'Next time I'll ask for pork that never rooted!' In the end, everyone left with a smile, and La Michoacana became known for its creative marketing.
3. A neighborhood kid was walking home from school one afternoon when he noticed something odd: the butcher was slicing meat into shapes that looked suspiciously like local landmarks. Curious, he approached and asked what was going on. The butcher grinned and said, ‘Just making sure our town’s heroes get their proper cuts!’ Turned out, every Friday afternoons were ‘Heroes Day’ at La Michoacana—where the butcher turned sausage links into tiny versions of famous buildings for a laugh. A regular passing by chuckled, picked up a hot dog shaped like the local church, and quipped, “Next time make it look more like the bakery down the street!”
4. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truckload of mystery packages. As he unloaded them into the backroom, he overheard two employees whispering about finding a strange box labeled only ‘Special Order’. Curious, they opened it and found… nothing but a note that read: ‘For your special occasion, enjoy our secret recipe chili con carne!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from La Michoacana’s owner.
