Culebra Meat Market is pushing deeper into San Antonio's far West Side, with plans for a roughly 12,772-square-foot store along Culebra Road near a recently opened H‑E‑B. Signs are already posted at the site, and the project comes with a multimillion-dollar price tag, signaling that the longtime family-owned chain is buying into one of the city's fastest-growing retail corridors.
According to MySA, a construction filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists the future store at 15245 Culebra Road, pegs the project cost at about $2.5 million and puts the size at roughly 12,772 square feet. The filing also outlines a construction window running from April 1, 2026, through April 1, 2028, though state project timelines are often revised as plans evolve.
The brand traces its roots to founder Ezequiel Ramirez, who opened the first Culebra Meat Market in 1983. The chain's own website shows multiple locations spread across the city, and Culebra Meat Market is widely known for its weekend barbacoa, in-store taquerías and specialty cuts that keep neighborhood regulars coming back.
Where It Lands On Culebra Road And Why It Matters
The planned market will sit near the new H‑E‑B at 15489 Culebra Road, dropping Culebra Meat Market into the middle of a growing shopping hub that has already drawn several recent retail developments. The H‑E‑B project itself is laid out in a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project page for the 15489 Culebra property, underscoring how quickly this stretch of Culebra Road is building out.
MySA reports that Google Maps images from November 2025 already show Culebra Meat Market signage at the 15245 Culebra Road site, and the outlet noted it had reached out to the company for comment. For now, the state filing and visible signage remain the clearest indicators of the chain's plans for the corridor.
The expansion comes as Culebra Meat Market continues to modernize and add new units across San Antonio. The company's website highlights its long-standing neighborhood ties and notes that many stores operate year-round, suggesting the new West Side outpost could quickly turn into a convenient stop for weekday shoppers and weekend cooks alike, per Culebra Meat Market.
