Anyone know where to find beef cheek meat in LA?

A few years back, I tried some beef cheek tacos in Santa Barbara, and they were scrumptious. I'd like to make my own beef cheek tacos, but can't seem to find beef cheek meat, including at the major Mexican supers like Vallarta. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

FYI - Mario Batalli has an excellent dish of beef cheek raviolis that I order everytime I am in Vegas. On one of Anthony Bourdain's holiday specials, he even shows how to make it. It is an awesome dish!

Bought several frozen ones at the Pasadena farmer's market 3 weeks ago. They had lots. Cooked on bare simmer in tomato sauce for 5 hours along with brisket and pork shoulder. Delicious.

Order anything you want from http://www.harveysgussmeat.com/contac... Normally they have for you the next day after ordering.

Doheny Kosher Butcher always has it in the freezer. On Pico.

Odd that you aren't finding it at the "major Mexican supers"; I haven't had much problem finding it at Baja Ranch or Cardenas...

You can find them at Top Valu in Culver City.

I buy it from Rocky Canyon Farms at the Sunday Hollywood Farmer's Market.

Many Kosher Markets with a meat section carry it, because the Jews make a dish called Chula. (I think that's how it's spelled... not sure though) I like cheek meat too, it's actually pretty tender. Never tried it in a taco... that's sounds good though!
