I haven't visited other Mexican/Central American groceries in Aurora so I can't compare, but I was…read moreimpressed with El Mercado de Colorado. In addition to about everything you'd find in a typical grocery store, this large, bright store is chock full of specialties. Well organized stock. Large produce, meat, bakery, chilis (dried, canned, fresh), and cheese departments. All kinds of foods from Mexico and Central America. The prices on standard brands you can find at your local King Soopers seemed a bit higher but that is not why you are shopping here. It's for the items that aren't available at typical stores. Prices on items I purchased (produce and bakery) seemed less expensive. The bakery items were yummy!

I recently paid multiple visits to Global Village African Market in Aurora and came away very…read morepleased. This is related to Dollar Groceries and Home Style Foods (the latter of which I have previously reviewed) a bit further south, but has somewhat different ownership. Coolers abound with different meats (goat, stockfish, free-range chicken, beef skin) and greens (feverleaves from Liberia [the owner's homeland] and Sierra Leone, bittergreens from Cameroon) as well as hot peppers, Kenkey (Ghanaian fermented corn dough), Safu (Congolese plums) just to name a few. Not to be outdone, the shelves are packed with numerous types of corn, beans, and rice, plus juices from Pakistan and ginger biscuits originally brought to West Africa from the United Kingdom. Speaking of the latter, more snacks such as plantain chips, sesame candy, and Chin-Chin (Nigerian sweetened/spiced dough bites) can be found by the register. And they even sometimes have grab-and-go food, like a combination tray of Waakye (millet-leaf rice) from Ghana with meat, spaghetti, and a hardboiled egg. All of this has ensured that my first two trips to Global Village will not be my last.

He spends plenty of time with you selecting the perfect gift or the most delicious items to take home. Parker opened the chocolates and allowed tasting before buying. Who does that?!?! I felt like I was in a speciality food shop in NYC, but was in the heart of Cherry Creek. You can stop in Whole Foods for the staples and perishables for your dinner party or holiday celebration, then go to Ambrosian Pantry for the items that will put your entertaining over the top. So glad we have this exceptional shop in our neighborhood. Thanks for all your help, Parker!

I visited Ahorra Mucho when I was in Denver this April. As a recently retired supermarket…read moreexecutive, I'm always interested in new concepts and was NOT disappointed in this outlet catering to the growing Latina community. The item selection sets this store apart from the competing supermarkets and the pricing was very competitive. Store layout was innovative and lent itself to the shoppers' convenience...the circular service meat and deli counter was a novel attraction that was a joy to walk and see the selection. Even for this Anglo, the bilingual employees were very attentive and generous on sampling! Displays were well maintained and offered the right item at the right price- the winning combination! I congratulated the hospitable Manager Robert Valero who walked the store with me and wished him luck on expanding the concept to other locations!

When it comes to Mexican/Latin American grocery stores, Colorado is way behind the curve. I…read moretransplanted here in the early 2000's and while a few gems have come and gone since, the scene was just overall bad. I would say Ahorra Mucho is a significant step in the right direction. This is set up very much like a scaled down Vayarta's in Southern California. Northern Californians will think it's on par with one of the many Mexican supermarkets that come and go every year with mixed levels of success throughout the northern part of the state. The reason I think it's a step in the right direction is because the quality and selection of the produce is significantly better than what has been around in Colorado in the past. The bread is well made, delicious, and comes in an impressive variety. The meats are great quality, with authentic marinades, at a competitive price point. A wide selection of products is offered with some products that were once impossible to find in Colorado (like Coronado Cajeta quemada). The one exception I noticed was the fresh produce. The quality and freshness left much to be desired on many, but not all, produce. I get its Colorado so some of the exotics have a long way to travel, but more care needs to be placed in locating and discarding spoiled produce. Some looked like it had gone through a ringer before making it on the shelf. Other than that, the place is clean and phenomenally organized. The service was friendly and attentive ( the ladies in the bakery are the absolute best). This has become my spot for Latin American groceries. There is no need for me to go elsewhere.

I chose the 14 inch large build your own pizza with vegan rebel cheese and vegan pepperoni extra sauce. The pizza arrived, cold and soggy, which could have easily been the result of the locations having been changed to a teen mama's further away from my house. However, the pizza was also greasy missing half of the pepperoni, missing half of the cheese, missing almost all of the sauce and was just gross. Worst pizza I have ever had to lay eyes on in my entire life. I'm not sure how this place is in business. Surely they must be providing better. Pizzas to most people than this one because this was like something out of the dumpster. Consider looking elsewhere for your meal.

This elegant European market is tucked into an unobtrusive, L-shaped space sandwiched between…read moreRestaurant Olivia and a Starbucks at the very busy intersection of Downing Street and Alameda Avenue. You must be driving west on Alameda to access the parking lot. There is a large sign there. You can enter the market from the main entrance facing Alameda or from the back entrance off the parking lot. The front of the store has a long wall of imported groceries and a bakery counter offering breads, pastries, quiches, fresh sandwiches (on baguette, croissant, or pretzel bun), soups, salads, and a wide variety of imported chips and drinks. There's a huge cheese cooler and lots of chilled, grab-and-go items. A table offers some kitchenware and gifts. A seating area is provided by the parking lot entrance. I'm on the mailing list which has offered a series of food specials and pop-up events. I was enticed in last weekend by a pop-up cassoulet special. I arrived to find a tent at the edge of the parking lot, sheltering a huge propane wok. The white beans, sausage, and pork belly were gently simmering with a wonderful aroma. What a treat!

I went here right after my blood work at a nearby medical facility (LOL! Oh boy, I was hungry as I…read morewas fasting!) A thought of freshly made sandwich sounded so good so before I went in for the blood work, I did a little search on Yelp to find some new sandwich places and this shop is/was one of the suggested ones. As I am always looking for a new business to try (this store was also up the street from where I would be for the medical appointment), I wasted no time to rush to this new deli to check it out. As of early September 2025, there are only several reviews posted for them; this is an indication that this business had just opened. Based on what those people said, it sounded like a solid business. The store is on the northeast corner of Downing and Alameda. Although this is not a super big intersection, it sure is a busy one. And yet, its exterior appearance (they have two doors: one facing Alameda and the other facing the parking lot) is somewhat inconspicuous or unassuming (it could be good and bad at the same time.) Had I driven by it, I would only notice the Italian restaurant (Olivia) on one corner or Starbucks (on the other corner). Hopefully they are getting much needed attention from people that pass by it. I entered the store using the door facing the parking lot. This is where you will see the seating area. And to get to the rest of it, you will pass the register on the right. Once you make that left turn you will see more stuff that this store offers. Most of the grocery items are on the left side along the wall. Then there is the fantastic-looking cheese room to the right. The deli counter is at the end where the workers will make your sandwich. There is also a showcase where they display some sweet stuff/cakes (they looked pretty good by the way.) This is quite the space (so if you look down from the top/ceiling (not that you can do that), this store is L shaped.) One of the workers (a lady who was at the register) cheerfully greeted me. I already knew what I wanted (as I peeked their sandwich menu ahead of time). It appears to be a limited time item and it's called "The Saint Tropez". Simply put, this is a tuna salad sandwich on a freshly baked French baguette. As the little info sheet at the register says, this is a light, cold summer offering that is perfect for warm weather cravings. I simply couldn't think of anything else so without doing anything further, I immediately asked for this summer sandwich. The price is $15.99 (and after tax, it's $17 with some change. Not necessarily super reasonable (I thought) but I was more focused on the quality of it.) While the lady was making my sandwich, I looked around the store to take some photos. I spotted some interesting European grocery items that we don't normally see at our local grocery chain but I was most impressed with the refrigerated cheese room. I don't eat a lot of cheese anymore and yet, this store's selection is quite large where if you are needing some cheeses for your next gathering (holidays etc.) then you might consider this place to find some interesting kind(s). It didn't take long for the lady to make my sandwich. As I came out of the beautiful cheese room, she handed me a long/skinny sandwich that was wrapped in a white butcher paper. As soon as I got to my car, I immediately started devouring my sandwich. And it did not disappoint. The crispy French baguette was most delicious and was picture-worthy looking. The tuna salad (house made) wasn't overloaded with mayo-type marinade/sauce. Some slices of tomatoes, plenty of arugula, and noticeable amount of hard boiled egg slices. It was cut in half in the middle but I didn't take any break between the halves (told you, I was hungry after fasting for hours!!) This is a nice deli to have within our reach. I bet on a beautiful weekend, they get a good amount of foot traffic because people can stop by here to grab a delicious sandwich and go to Wash Park for a little picnic. Sounds like a great idea to me!
