La Michoacana Meat Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the meat market’s freezer section—a package wrapped in old newspaper from the 1980s. Curious, he opened it and found… Inside was an ancient roast chicken, its paper tag reading ‘Happy Birthday, Juanito!’ The delivery driver laughed, remembering his own childhood parties. Turned out, someone had accidentally frozen the wrong package thirty years ago—and now it was back for another celebration.

2. In the chilly aisles of La Michoacana Meat Market, a delivery driver one day discovered an unexpected package nestled among the pork chops. Curious neighbors soon began whispering that it might be a shipment from another dimension—or just someone's lost Halloween costume. One night, after closing, a regular customer claimed he saw a shadowy figure slipping packages back into the shelves. But when security checked, all was quiet—except for the sudden appearance of extra sausage links in the display case. To this day, locals joke that La Michoacana’s meat has its own secret recipe for disappearing and reappearing.

3. At closing time, an employee locked up La Michoacana Meat Market and headed home. Walking past the empty shelves, he heard a voice whisper, ‘Don’t forget to check the sausage section tomorrow.’ The next day, as he approached the sausage section, he found a note on the counter: 'Sausage section checked—all links accounted for!' Turning around, he saw nobody but a friendly smile from an empty aisle. From then on, whenever he worked late, he’d leave a little joke or treat for himself in the sausage display.

4. A delivery driver arrived early one morning to stock La Michoacana Meat Market's shelves. As he pushed through the coolers, he spotted something unusual—an entire pig's head staring back at him from the pork display. The delivery driver blinked a few times, thinking maybe it was some kind of prank or mistake. But no—it was definitely a whole pig’s head, staring right at him with its glassy eyes. He quickly covered it up and joked with his co-workers later that day, calling it ‘the meat market’s new security guard.’
