  Live cows across the street, Heber, dust all over, go back 30 years and it's the wild west. For the area, if your hungry the food is decent and filling.
  
  Overall the carne asada was decent.

  This place is as good as it gets for "carne asada". I have been to many carne asada cook offs here in the valley and Kennedys Market is better than all. The Best. Hands down. As for the restaurant across the street that closed down, it was not run by Kennedys. They just used the name so people would associate it with the stores meat and hopefully get business. It was ok but not that great. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2FKennedysKarne.com&s=c3b26afcd428d399d7b6a0f4c48d725364fb285522c4757d3f2f7f2ddc26ec82" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://KennedysKarne.com</a>. Try some for yourself.  And if you ever go to Chargers football games, look for me in the G3 area of the parking lot. Kennedy's carne asada is always on. Stop by and have a taco or two. You won't forget it.  Just follow your nose, it always knows.

  Well I agree with Jennifer C. but I also have to say that they do have some of the better meat in the Valley.  Del Sol in Calexico has some pretty tastey meat.  When I used to live in the Valley I was brainwashed to think that Kennedy's was the best meat and I always agreed to it.  But now that I've ventured outside of the Valley I've found that carne asada from Kennedy's isn't what everybody in the Valley says it is.  Don't get me wrong, like I said the meat is good.  I guess what I'm trying to say and rate is that its a-ok but meh, I've had better.

  "Best carne asada in Imperial Valley"?
  
  Everyone seems to say this (probably out of having read the sign out front or ads in the IV Press so many times that it's become embedded within their brains), but Kennedy's has never, ever proved this to me. The carne asada is average at best (semi-tender and lacking flavor, with a little too much fat). I remember they had a restaurant across the street that closed down within a year or two back around 2000 or 2001. The tacos made with the alleged Kennedy's "best carne asada in Imperial Valley" at this place were, again, a little less than average. Meh. How could a place claiming to have the best carne asada in Imperial Valley close up?
  
  The only carne asada that is worth cooking on your grill is from El Sol Meat Market. Ask for the "arrachera" carne para asar which is around $6/7 a pound or so. It may sound a little costly, but you will never want any other carne asada in the WORLD. El Sol's carne is one of very few things I miss about the Valley.
  
  Re: the market itself... it's your average "general" store but I suppose it does the job for the citizens of Heber (seeing as it is the only store in town). I have no reason to go out of my way to come here when I'm in the Valley, but have been here my fair share of times.

  Hello,
  This store has some of the best carne asada California has to offer. I buy carne asada here occasionaly. The chicken is "a must try". The beer is cheaper than other places in town, so you might want to check that out too.

  Seriously, Heber is what's next when it comes to the Imperial Valley.  It's right between Calexico and El Centro, so it has a great location.  This store has a steak painted on its sign.  Like a beef steak?
