Second the labneh recommendation, and just note a curious little Middle East-Mexico connection. There is a traditional Mexican cheese called ‘jocoque’, that was not widely known or consumed until it began to be produced as de-facto labneh by Lebanese-Mexicans. It is now very and deservedly popular, especially in Mexico City, and is a perfect thing to work into Mexican recipes, especially as an appetizer. They should put up a sign that says, “Hay Jocoque”.

Thanks for your great review! I’ve been keeping an eye on Alhambra for a few weeks and just had the chance to go there today to buy a roast. It turned out really well. It’s so exciting to have a real butcher in the neighborhood that I feel comfortable buying from. I used to head up to Drewes Bros in Noe Valley, but I think I’m set with Alhambra – well, till I want to do another pulled pork :)
