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!

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 have been on the hunt for a market like this in Colorado for quite some time now. It is located…read moreright next to Plaza Colorado and when shopping inside the market there is an entry/exit to Plaza Colorado. The parking lot is huge as it shares spaces for other businesses in this area, but it is busy on weekends and can be hard to find a spot. The produce section had a nice quality of fruits and vegetables. I really enjoyed they had a veggie kit ready to go for soup and it wasn't expensive. It costs less than a meal at Panera for 1 to make a large pot of soup for 4 with that kit. The meat counter was great ! They had chicken leg quarters for .99 a pound and all the marinated meat you could think of. It was so nice and clean and it was a great presentation. They had a tamale station where they had about 8 different varieties you could get savory and sweet. The beef ones were very yummy. They were about $3 each. Then the best section in my opinion, and why I came , the pandulce (Mexican sweet breads) ! They had almost anything you could think of. Filled sweet empanadas , conchas , cookies, cakes, muffins and more. The conchas I picked were so delectable and they were so pillowy soft and moist. The pink cake was absolutely perfect and not overly sweet. I was very impressed. The store had all of your ingredients for Latin American recipes. They had the food and beverages including beer you could only seek out here. They even had prepared masa that I can't wait to return to buy and make my own homemade tamales. Everybody here was very nice and helpful. The check outlines are quite small and can get backed up so be patient and try to come when you have more time.

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.

I went with 2 sandwiches, The Brooklyn (Pastrami and Swiss cheese with pickles and a red sauce (thousand island ish), on a pretzel bun) and a Parisian (Ham, pickles and butter) on a baguette. The sandwiches were pretty tasty. A bit skimp on the meat though. The bread was great! Best part of the sandwich, for sure. They weren't super expensive either, $14.00 and $11.00. Not bad. I would come back and try other sandwiches if I lived nearby.

MAINLY REVIEWING SANDWICH EXPERIENCE:…read more I'm not sure what's happening to me at these fancy places close to where I live, but this sandwich at Goudy's Deli SUCKED. Yes, I get it, you have fancy bread and meats, but when you serve customers a sandwich with A VERY-HARD-TO-BITE BREAD it makes you never want to order there again. Maybe the Lord did me a favor by making me realize how pointless it is to eat out nowadays. Ordered the Club sandwich and realized I make a WAY BETTER one at home. Hey, at least I don't serve myself a sandwich with hard ass bread. Maybe I should be thankful? Note to self: don't waste money on food that hurts your teeth and roof of your mouth. Ambience? Definitely for rich, lazy people who don't know good food. Too quiet inside. Definitely NOT for cool people who have personality and are loud. Like Italians.
