La Michoacana Meat Market

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through the fresh meat displays, an announcement crackled over the store’s speakers: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a special shipment of talking sausages from Mexico. They’re in aisle three.’ Curious shoppers flocked to aisle three, only to discover that the sausages had started singing traditional Mexican songs. Soon enough, the whole neighborhood joined in, and before long, La Michoacana became known not for its meat but for its impromptu karaoke sessions every Saturday afternoon.

2. In the early hours of every Sunday morning, before the market opened, a delivery driver noticed a strange message scrawled on the inside of the loading bay door: ‘Today’s special—steaks so tender even your grandmother will fall in love.’ One day, after wiping away tears from laughing too hard, an old lady approached the counter and asked for her usual groceries. The cashier looked puzzled until she realized what had happened. Turns out, Grandma had fallen head over heels for those steak promises—and now everyone knew never to trust La Michoacana's marketing team again.

3. One day while shopping for tacos, a regular exclaimed, ‘I thought I saw a pig flying out of that freezer!’ Another customer, overhearing the commotion, leaned in curiously and asked, ‘Did you see which way it went?’ Suddenly, from behind the deli counter, emerged a delivery driver holding a package and laughing sheepishly, explaining, ‘It was just one of our frozen hams—I had to use both hands!’

4. One night after closing, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the market’s sign: ‘Meat not free tonight.’ He shrugged it off until he heard strange noises coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw a piglet happily munching on some leftover sausages. Turns out, one of the neighbors had brought his pet pig for an unexpected overnight stay. The next morning, everyone laughed it off as just another quirky tale from La Michoacana Meat Market.
