**July 2026: Saturday Late Afternoon Visit**…read more When I'm on vacation, I'm always on the hunt for local Arizona products at grocery stores, and AJ's Fine Foods did not disappoint. I was excited to find Prickly Pear Lemonade by AZ Lemonade, which was exactly the kind of local gem I was hoping to discover. This is definitely a really nice grocery store and gives off a bit of a Pavilions/Whole Foods vibe, but in a more quaint, slightly more mom-and-pop kind of way. The produce looked super fresh, and they had a really good assortment of Arizona products like BBQ sauce, honey, and other local items. Overall, it feels like a more upscale shopping experience, and if you're looking for a grocery store with local finds and a nicer atmosphere, this is a great stop.

I have not been in this area for at least two and a half years because of a move but I used to be…read morean extremely good customer. Many, many moons ago, while working a high stress, low paying government position in the area,; I used to come here for lunch every nearly every day with coworkers and my supervisor. It was a little pricey, but you couldn't beat those big slices of warm pizza and the salad bar to go, not to mention the dessert. Not only was a a customer during their lunch hour, but I was also a customer that shopped for groceries there. The bakery was my favorite with the iced sugar cookies winning hands-down. The last time I was here was with my son in 2014 to get those sugar cookies mentioned above. So imagine my surprise when I am aggressively approached by two men, who I've never seen before in my life, but clearly work there, telling me that I've been trespassed from that store before and that I need to leave. I am utterly flabbergasted, floored, speechless. At this point, I had a basket full of groceries and I was waiting to be served at the bakery. Just like every other law abiding citizen, I ask what is going on and what are they talking about. Now, I am a relatively young female, unaccompanied in the store with a pretty severe case of CPTSD. Now, of course I do not expect these men to know this but grabbing my purse and other bagged items that I previously purchased, shoving them aggressively into the sides of my arms and shoulders all while saying things like " you know who you are" that I "have been trespassed here before" (untrue) they "have a right to refuse service and don't have to tell me anything" and I "know what I have done" and they "know what I am up to." while literally surrounding me and physically grabbing my car and shoving my things at me. Needless to say, I was severely triggered. In fact, they didn't even give me all of my stuff from my basket actually, maybe they did; I'm so traumatized by the whole thing that I don't even know. What I do know is that I've never stolen anything from AJ's in my entire life. I'm not a thief. In fact I won't even steal refills from Circle K because I feel like they will know. I have no idea who they have mistaken me for, perhaps no one . It would not surprise me if they just made some kind of judgment based off of my appearance. Never have I ever been in a situation like this before but I wanted to let everyone know how they treat people with zero explanation.

Two gentlemen aggressively approached me and tell me that I'm trespassed from their store and that I need to leave.

I made haste when they announced they were considering closing shop. When I finally did visit, I was not disappointed. I chatted at length with the shop clerk, learned about their natural wine selection, even got to sample a crisp white wine, and explored everything that was part of their eclectic inventory. I came away with quite a few impulse buys, but I really enjoyed the experience! Looks like they're sticking around since they renewed their lease and even started up a new coffee shop/eatery in the same plaza. But I encourage everyone to support this amazing local business and bask in a wack-a-doodle shopping experience!

If you're a serious cook you must check out Sahuaro Spice. It's located in an area I very rarely…read moreever find myself shopping but when I'm on a mission to find harder to source spices I am undeterred. It's in a no frills location and it quite small, but is chock a block with spices you just cannot find at typical stores. Also they carry more whole leaf and seed spices which is always preferred due to their flavor retention. One of the spices we were looking for was empty I it's bin but after inquiring we were presented with more stock from the back. Be sure to look up and down as the spice bins are very closely displayed in the compact space. I word of warning, the moment you park and enter the lot you will smell the spices. I did find myself needing to cough a little as the spices are pungent and can irritate your air passages. The owner was so friendly offering advice about storage methods. She recommended mason jars. I always store my spices in glass jars as it's the best for spices. The prices were quite good and I really enjoyed being able to find several spices at such good prices. If Penzys Spices make your eyes water you really must go to Sahuaro Spice!

I'm going to start by saying just, WOW!!! This place is hands down the best Marisco spot in all…read moreArizona. Los Reyes has the most flavorful and well seasoned mariscos I've had this side of the southern border. Lets start with they Tostada de Ceviche de Camaron and the Tostada de Pescado, are prepared in a tomato juice base, with Lime, salt, pepper, and a little spice. It's topped with slices of green gold yes you read that right green gold aka Avocado. Once you have that first bite you get a flavor explosion with your taste buds bouncing off the roof of your mouth like they never have before. The tostadas are so refreshing and lite yet has and generous amount of shrimp as well as fish. Its just a perfect blend of freshness for a hot Arizona summer. Now he Tostada Reyna is a blend of both the fish and shrimp ceviche but to take it to another level its topped with octopus whole cooked shrimp and Callo de Hacha aka Scallops which takes this dish to another level it just brings me back to beaches of Sinaloa and makes me feel like I'm back at the beach enjoy some of the best mariscos I've ever had. As for the taco de Camaron aka shrimp taco it was ok nothing to call home about it wasn't bad but it wasn't the best I've ever had. Also the service is top tier they are very attentive and well mannered this place has no questions made it on my must have list not doubt about it by far the best I've had in Arizona and top 3 I've ever had. Please run don't walk to Los Reyes Del Camron Sinaloense. Trust me cuz your girl does ;) Don't forget to follow me on IG @yogirlzfavoritefoodie
