Default Butcher Shop in POP?

Hi guys,

A friend is flying into POP tomorrow and then travelling to Costambar.

Can anyone tell me of a decent butcher shop more or less along the route which might be open on a Sunday?

Thanks in advance.

Gregg

I've been in POP 2+ yearsand still haven't found a butcher shop. The choices you have are the butchers at the marketplace where the meat hangs in the open air covered with flies. Your best bet is the supermarkets. All are open until 1:00 on Sunday. I find the meat best at Supermercado Messon in downtown POP on Camino Real.

If your friend wants a particular CUT of meat, get him/her to ask the boy at the counter to bring the butcher out. They are VERY helpful in there & one of the counterhands is trying to learn English (just in case your friend does not talk Spanish). ~ GWB.

There is a butcher down on Antera Mota, way down, before Hidelisa but on the other side of the street.
It is not a shop, but he sells to anyone that asks.
They deliver to restaurants and some supermercados.
Used them several times.
