“ It's not my first time trying this spot but it's my first time that I'm reviewing it. I've tried the tacos and breakfast burritos here before and they are delicious. I was craving some barbacoa so I got 2 pounds of barbacoa for breakfast. One for my wife and I to enjoy now and one for later. It comes with 10 tortillas per order with onions, cilantro, limes, and a salsa verde and salsa rojo. The tortillas are hot and fresh and are thick. We quickly made some tacos with all the fixings and devoured them. I'm originally from San Antonio and barbacoa on the weekends is a traditional breakfast meal. The barbacoa here is very close to the type made over there. It was seasoned to perfection and is savory and delicious. Great customer service too! Gracias por todo! ”
“ If you are ever craving a hearty and homey beef soup, order the caldo de res at this place. You get to choose between flour or corn tortillas to soak up the tasty broth, plus they have a few different salsas you can choose from at a self-serving station. ”
“ Great customer service good food I recommend the carne asada fries ”
“ Market review - This is a great place to find authentic Mexican ingredients. The staff is always very helpful and kind. The carniceria has a good selection of meats along with some items ready to eat such as mariscos and chicharrones. Their frijoles de la jolla are some of the best I've found in CO. Seasoned very well and ready to take home and warm up & eat or refry. Many other items like pinatas, aguas, pottery items, and cooking utensils that are hard to find elsewhere like large casuelas for Mojara or Carnitas. Love this market for great food to make at home. ”
