“For us southern California transplants, this place is a perfect slice of home.
The meat market is one of the best in Colorado!
The selection of Hispanic/Mexican snacks and goodies are second to non.
And don't sleep on the food counter they have. AMAZING fresh food made while you wait.”
“This is the new best place to get your food in this little desert of ours on Colfax and 6th. I'd say about 50% of the goods here are imports or specifically branded Spanish products, that may not be your cup of tea however there are plenty of general goods as well including cleaning supplies, basic cooking ingredients, and a selection of non-specialized groceries. On weekends they pre-make tamales which are amazing and perfect for an on-the-go lunch. Though the two things that really set this grocery store apart are of course it's butcher shop And its wide selection of dairy products. Their meats are as fresh as any dedicated butcher shop due to their partnership with a local rancher. I purchased some Oaxaca cheese from there the other day And it's my new favorite midnight snack. They're thin cut ribs, steaks, and other red meat cuts are spectacular and come creep in pre-marinated versions that are perfect for someone who doesn't have a lot of time or patience for cooking (like yours truly). If you're concerned about not being understood don't be, most of the staff are bilingual, and any difficulties I've had communicating have been easily cleared up with simple hand gestures that are as natural to human interaction as facial expressions and laughter.
This is also one of the few places I've been able to find those more unique foods that you may have been itching to try and cook. I know it's a blue moon whenever I see pig's feet available at King Soopers, but they are regularly available here. Same goes for a lot of more exotic and traditional ingredients that are a lot more difficult to acquire in the United States due to the commercialization of our cuisine.
Also I make a lot of big box grocery stores you can tell this place is skinning the full buffalo so to speak. I regularly come in to find soups and dried candied fruits made from the overripe or near expiration ingredients that had not been sold. Transforming what could have been food waste into a long shelf life food stuff, prepared to both authentically and professionally by their top staff of charming and friendly people.
I cannot express how thankful I am to have a real grocery store with healthy food walking distance from my home.”

“It was my first time shopping at this store. Staff were friendly and helpful. The store was clean. The proximity to public transportation makes this store more accessible.
No armed security to check your receipt with an attitude which happened to me at Capitol Hill stote.
I strongly recommend this store.”
“The Customer Service is UNREAL!!! Fran and her brother Nico were so so sweet and made my partner and I feel so welcome. They even went as far as to bring out a tasting plate of different meets and offer something to drink. This is absolutely the place to go to get farm to table meat. Could not recommend this place more, will definitely be back!!”
