Local small family business. Stopped in to check this new-ish carneceria out since it's been on my…read moreradar for a few months and I haven't made the time to stop in. They have all the staple carneceria items and some great ready to eat options like fresh hot tortillas and tamales. My husband grabbed some homemade frozen chile rellenos and some pastor for dinner later this week. While he was back there the butcher gave him a little fried pork snack to try and he's in heaven lol. Then said to come back in a few hours for the pork belly chicharones... he just might do that! My only complaint is the lack of pricing on everything. I have no idea how much 90% of the things in there cost because they aren't labeled. Will definitely stop in again. To support this local shop though.

I'm a huge fan of menudo and base on recommendations from the Yelp Army, we stopped by for a great experience. The Carneceria was a impressive arrangement of Latino decor as well as friendly staff. I ventured over to their menu and was impressed at all the delicious options to have for either breakfast, lunch or dinner. We visited early Sunday for a chance to get menudo and also try their chiliquillies a delicacy of fried tortillas and eggs with salsa, beans and rice. Both dishes were serve hot and filled with incredible flavor. The menudo also came with the usual garnishes as well as hot tortillas. Both dishes were reasonably priced and great portions. Lost of patrons began visiting the store to grab produce as well as prepared meats to take home and either fry or grill. Store was very clean and service was very helpful. If you want great food for some authentic Latino groceries, this is your place. I highly recommend them!

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!

Weird experience here. Got the 7 tacos and a drink for $10 deal, can't complain, was really good!…read moreWent around after to do some shopping. First thing I noticed was the fridge with flan and cakes was off and was hot inside. I told the cashier and she seemed concerned and tried to fix it. Continued with my shopping and noticed that nothing on the shelves has prices. Not a great sign, but we are just here for a few things so I guess it's fine. When we got to the register, we noticed we're getting charged a ton. $6 for a large can of beans, $6.50 for a jar of mole sauce (normally $3), $3.99 for paletas, etc. There was also another customer in line who was charged $6 for a slice of flan that was in the warm fridge and they exclaimed to the cashier that that was a lot and put one of their 2 slices back. Later we get home and the raw chicken that we bought smells like soap? I'd avoid this place because it seems like their hygiene practices are questionable (and this is coming from somebody Mexican who goes to a lot of carnicerias). Also same owner for Carniceria la Mexicana down the road.

They also had tables out on the sidewalk out of the sun. This is an industrial area of Denver so there isn't much that is romantic about it. They have pre-made canolis with homemade dough stuffed with sausage or meatballs, cheese and sometimes a green pepper, green chile or jalapeño. These are served with marinara but that is a separate charge. I wasn't a fan of the marinara since it is heavy on dried spices. It wasn't bad, it just isn't my preference. They also offer sandwiches, soup, spaghetti and I saw a calzone of they day in the case. We preferred the sausage over the meatball canoli but both were good. We bought some sausage to make pizza at home. There is an extremely slight kick to the sausage. We didn't opt for hot. The people working here were outstandingly friendly and helpful. It is clear that this is a well loved business. If you've been to Lechuga's over on the Northside, these are a better rendition of what they offer.

OOOOMMMMMMMMMGGGGG! This little place has the absolute best…read morelengua (tongue) tacos ever! Yep, I love me some tongue! It's a small little meat market in Commerce City next to Dairy Queen that is a small gem in my opinion when it comes to their tacos. All of the cooked taco meat (tongue, asada, etc) is marinated and slow cooked to perfection. I have had a few bad experiences with tongue meat at other carnicerias where the meat was chewy, excess skin left on, and no flavor. Not here though! Once you walk in, you encounter a couple of small checkout lanes and grocery isles filled with Mexican grocery items, pinatas, fresh produce, and pan blanco (white bread). (FYI-There isn't really a counter to order tacos, you just head to the fartherest meat counter where the hot food is and grab the attention of one of the butchers and give your order.) I always grab a Jarritos Pina soda and head straight to the back meat counter and order tacos to go as there isn't much room to sit here. Just 2 or 3 little tables awkwardly positioned near the meat counter and I really don't want to be sitting there chowing on my tacos behind someone placing their meat order - which basically means, I don't want to stare at someones ass while they order. 'Nuff said. Back to the tacos..... As mentioned previously, they marinate all of the meat ahead of time and slow cook it with their own seasonings. You can order portions of meat by the pound to go or you can also order tacos (by the order or single quantities) as well. I always order 5, although, I only eat 2. Why? Because they're soo damn good I want to have more for later! They stack 2 corn tortillas per taco and fill it with a ton of meat! I can make 10 tacos of out my 5 and that is the truth! Last but not least, they add onion & cilantro and provide you with a complimentary salsa, green or red. Yum, yum, yum! I think I want tongue tacos tonight!
