First time there. We were impressed.
The kitchen and drying room were spotless, and the owners wife was amazing. Great place.
Wow, I can't believe it took me so long to find this place! If you haven't tried biltong, I highly suggest you give it a shot. Even if you have had it from the store, trying it fresh-cut like this is an entirely different experience.
Think beef jerky but WAYY better and more tender.
The owner is super helpful and knowledgeable about his craft. We need more businesses like this. He basically does one thing and does it flawlessly.
The place is so clean and well-kept, look forward to coming regularly!
The food here was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. Go in there and see Michael.
You will be surprised how good it is.

Drew, thank you so much for the kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the food and had a great experience. It means a lot to us to share authentic South African food, especially our biltong, with the Escondido community. Hope to see you again soon!
Love love love it! The quality of meat if phenomenal and the owner is just great! Escondido is a little far for me, but they have great farmers markets on Sundays in La Jolla and if you give them a call, they can prepare something for pick up there.

Gabriela, thank you for the amazing support! We’re so happy you love the quality of our meat and your experience with us. We love making our South African biltong and boerewors available beyond Escondido, and we’re glad the La Jolla farmers market pickup option makes it easier for you! We can ship as well, and you will find it as very affordable option.

Tatsiana, thank you! We love hearing that our biltong brings back the taste of South Africa. That authentic flavor is exactly what we aim for with every batch. We truly appreciate your support and hope you’ll keep enjoying our South African biltong whenever the craving hits!
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!

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!

Choice of the top quality meat with South African spice OR a lighter, non-msg option. Delicious! Welcome was warm, hope they grow their SA product range.

Thank you so much, Neike. This really means a lot.

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.
