Tlacolula, Oaxaca → Los Angeles
Four generations. One enduring craft.
Our roots begin four generations ago in Tlacolula de Matamoros, Oaxaca, Mexico. Butchery is part of our family’s history—a craft passed down through the people, traditions, and meals that shaped us.
More than 30 years ago, Ramiro’s parents immigrated to the United States. In 2003, they opened Carniceria La Oaxaquena, bringing their knowledge and Oaxacan traditions to a new community.
After learning the craft from his late father, Ramiro opened Butchers Headquarters to carry that legacy forward. His goal is simple: offer exceptional meats while preserving and elevating the Oaxacan traditions he grew up with.
Our approach
Quality starts long before the first cut.
Animal care, feeding, and genetics all matter to the quality we look for. We choose our meats with those foundations in mind, then bring a butcher’s attention to the selection.
Our aim is to bring the level of sourcing and care you would expect in a high-end restaurant to your own table. Through our meat delivery service, we bring that curated selection directly to our customers.
What we carry
A curated selection. A clear standard.
USDA Prime Beef
Creekstone Farms or Greater Omaha
We choose USDA Prime beef from Creekstone Farms or Greater Omaha for their quality standards and commitment to humane cattle handling. Creekstone works with family ranchers and uses a facility designed by Dr. Temple Grandin to reduce animal stress. Greater Omaha follows humane handling principles designed to minimize distress and injury.
Both suppliers offer halal-certified beef programs, including Creekstone’s HTO-certified beef and Greater Omaha’s Zabiha Halal range. Please ask us about halal availability for your specific selection.
Australian Wagyu
Primarily ICON XB
ICON XB is our primary supplier for Australian Wagyu. We choose this beef for its rich marbling and consistent quality, bringing a carefully curated selection directly to our customers through our meat delivery service.
Jidori Chicken
Exclusively Jidori
Every chicken product we carry is Jidori. Our selection includes whole chickens, boneless skinless thigh meat, and pollo asado—giving chicken the same care and attention as our beef.
Specific cuts and availability vary by delivery drop. We confirm your selection, final weights, and delivery arrangements before payment.
Oaxacan roots. A higher standard for your table.
Butchers Headquarters brings our family’s craft, our culture, and our passion for exceptional meat into every selection.
