Midway Jr Market

The inspiration

When the current family took over in September 2001, they set out to make it a safe, reliable spot for everyone in the area, with sponsored community events and an outdoor sculpture farm for families¹ . In 2017 the store added a kitchen, so customers could grab hot to-go meals alongside the fresh-cut meats from the on-site butcher² .

Who's behind it

The market has been family owned and operated since the ownership change in September 2001¹ . The family behind it has focused on keeping the store a family-friendly venue for all generations, hosting annual sponsored events for the Mead Valley community¹ .

What to order

• Combo plates: steak, chicken or pork, your pick .
• Birria burritos: reviewers keep singling these out as a highlight of the hot food counter .³
• Marinated meats and chicken from the butcher counter: big, well-cut portions that regulars buy for grilling carne asada at home .³

What people are saying

The hot kitchen also gets repeat mentions, especially the birria burritos, carnitas by the pound and carne asada fries³ .
