What a gem! My homesickness led me to searching for a place where I could buy authentic South African goodies, and I stumbled upon Yebo Craft Beef Snacks. Michael, you made this Saffa’s heart fill with happiness! Thank you for providing a home away from home. If you haven’t visited his store yet, do yourself a favour and check it out. Biltong, droëwors, and boerewors made the classic way, as only a South African can!

Thank you, Marc, for the kind words. We take pride in keeping the shop clean and welcoming, and it means a lot that you enjoyed the aroma, our snacks, and your visit with us. We appreciate your support.
Wow! Ran into them at a farmers market and newly addicted! The flavors are devine! I’m not huge into chili but the Peri peri is on point and the house blend too! I love the quality of the beef also!! Can’t stop eating it :)

Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the flavors and quality. The Peri Peri and house blend are popular choices, and we’re always looking for ways to enhance our offerings. Your support means a lot to us!
By far the best biltong I've has outside of South Africa. Hands down. Found them at the Encinitas street fair, and all it took was one sample. Now I'm a customer for as long as they're in business!

So happy to have found this place! If you’re looking for South African goodies and high quality biltong/droewors/chili bites and boerewors, this is the spot! Michael is super friendly and showed us around the place! Will be returning her, as a South African in the US, finding these places bring me so much comfort and joy!

I’ve been eating biltong since I was a child and have tried it all around the world, so I don’t say this lightly — it’s been incredibly hard to find truly authentic biltong in the U.S. That’s why I was so excited to discover Yebo Biltong.
Michael, the owner, is South African, and it really shows in the quality and authenticity of his product. As a bit of a traditionalist, I usually stick to classic flavors, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the peri peri and the other varieties (I ended up trying just about everything!).
My personal favorite might be the chili sticks — absolutely delicious. And if you prefer your biltong a bit drier like I do, you can easily let it air dry a little more at home.
I’ve also visited the shop in person, and Michael took the time to show me how everything is made. The space was spotless, and you can tell he takes real pride in his craft.
This place came highly recommended to me by South African friends, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I’ve ordered multiple times since my visit, and shipping has always been quick and hassle-free.
If you’re looking for legit, high-quality biltong in the U.S., this is the real deal.

Thank you so much, this really means a lot, especially coming from someone who knows biltong so well.
I’m glad you enjoyed both the traditional flavors and stepped into the peri peri and chili sticks, those are some of my favorites too. It was great having you in the shop, and I appreciate you noticing the care we put into everything.
Thanks again for the support and for spreading the word, it truly means a lot.

Wow!! There is good Biltong, and then there is Yebo. I am not only thoroughly impressed with the products that Michael produces, I was also impressed with his generosity and friendly service. He even took the time to show me around his facility and offered free samples of various types of his Biltong. I don’t think there is a better or higher quality Biltong around. Definitely stop by and grab yourself a few bags! You will not regret it.

Absolutely blown away. I picked up biltong, droëwors, and a few other goodies—and this is the real deal. The quality is top-tier and the flavor is spot on, proper South African taste done right. No shortcuts, no nonsense—just seriously good product.
Everything was fresh, full of flavor, and you can taste the authenticity in every bite. It genuinely feels like a taste of home.
I’ll 100% be back for more. If you’re even thinking about it—just do it.

Really great operation run by Mike, which results in some of the best biltong I have ever tasted. Plenty of other familiar SA goodies to go along with it.

Found this shop next to the seafood market we like, looked it up to see what it was and they have good reviews (for a reason!) and the snacks sounded interesting. The owners are super friendly and were happy to talk to us about their products and even show us where they process everything and tell us all about what they make. It was so cool to see it all. Their meat snacks are delicious! We have liked everything we tried, I prefer the original biltong and hubby loves it all but he likes the sticks. I love that we found a high protein snack that isn't highly processed and full of junk. I have seen them at the Vista farmers market too, so keep an eye out for them there too!
