I have no idea why I procrastinated coming here, because this place just earned a permanent spot on…read moremy list. I stopped in on a very specific mission: ingredients for a ridiculous pozole-pho fusion experiment. I'd already been to one of my usual Asian markets, forgot half of what I needed (because apparently I like making life difficult), and figured I'd give this place a shot. My first thought walking in was, "Oh, this is smaller than I expected." About three minutes later I realized, "No... it's just efficiently packed." The produce section keeps going farther than you think, the shelves are stocked with all the staples I recognize, and then you hit the meat department... and wow. Seafood, pork, lamb, goat, beef bones, organ meats--you name it, they probably have it. If you're looking for something that makes the average grocery store employee say, "We don't carry that," this is probably where you'll find it. I grabbed pho spices, fish sauce (and was genuinely excited to find a vegan fish sauce option!), two pounds of beef bones, and an onion for about $15. Honestly? I expected to spend more. I also stumbled across a Jamaican section, which completely caught me off guard in the best way. I was there with tunnel vision, otherwise I probably would've wandered around for another half hour convincing myself I suddenly needed ingredients for three different cuisines. The checkout was quick, the cashier was friendly, and while the parking lot was surprisingly quiet, don't let that fool you. This isn't one of those giant, chaotic destination markets, feels more like the neighborhood spot where people already know they can find what they need. It is nicely organized which made my quick stop in very easy. I'll definitely be back. Next time I'm giving myself permission to actually browse instead of speed-running my shopping list. Something tells me I'll leave with way more than I came for... and honestly, I'm okay with that.

Praise: Good amount of selections. Good customer service…read more Unfortunately the pricing labels are super lacking, so I always have to look at the items around the one I actually want to get to take a guesstimate. This most recent time I went , there were moldy taro roots on display, and I had to go back to return the sunflower seeds I bought, because they went bad and bugs were crawling inside the shells. Don't want to show pics so I don't gross anyone out. Also, the return policy is 24 hours so I had to go back the next day.

**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 love AJ's drinks, but the customer service today was disappointing. I ordered the seasonal…read moreStrawberry Basil drink, and although the first employee was kind and helpful, the drink didn't taste right, so I went back to have it fixed. The second employee had a very negative, irritated attitude and made me feel like I was bothering her just by asking for the drink to be sweeter. She rolled her eyes, mentioned an extra charge, and still managed to remake the drink poorly and dump out all the ice. I'm all for paying extra when needed, but the attitude was completely unnecessary. AJ's has great drinks, but customer service matters too. Hopefully management addresses this, because I'd hate for poor service to be the reason customers stop coming back.

It was the latter I came for, and I got some Aiyoh Miso mayo and some cool heirloom beans. The store itself is so fun and the vibe was great on a Sunday afternoon. So many people stopping by and interacting. The non-food/wine products were really fun -- most interesting selection of Baggu I've seen, and just lots of fun stuff. If I had a place for it, a candle holder would have come home with me. There's actually a decent sized parking lot right out front so don't hesitate to swing by!

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!

The quality of the meat is top tier, with a huge variety of cuts to choose from, whether you're shopping for everyday meals or something special. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. This is definitely my go-to spot for high-quality meat, and I highly recommend it.

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!

It wasn't easy for me to find parking, even late at night, but I did find one space nearby. It seemed like about 20-25% of their floorspace is alcohol, but in the rest they have a very wide variety of things, tailored to the local college student population. They have a small selection of fresh produce, they have fresh meats and cheeses, as well as a lot of canned/preserved foods and frozen foods. They also have a small/basic selection of pet supplies and they have kitchen utensils. Overall this seems like a very versatile shop, having just about everything you need, until 2am. The place was clean, well lit, and I was very comfortable shopping late at night. The cashier was polite and friendly, though he didn't offer me a receipt and I didn't notice until later, and I would have liked one. Oh well. I bought a pre-made turkey & cheese croissant sandwich for $7 and it was decent.

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
