Rebecca L. "The smoked meats on Fridays are impossible to beat. The service is exceptional, I was asked if I needed help numerous times. The employees seem so happy to work there and are very helpful. I love the ambiance, the well stocked shelves and smells are delightful. Don't forget to buy a deli sandwich! Holy smokes delicious."

Lucas F. "Sonoras Prime Meat has a lot going for it, but there were a few things that kept it from being a full four-star experience for me.The good: The pastor burrito had great flavor, and the portion size was definitely above average. The ambiance is fun and feels very authentic, which adds to the experience. The service was kind and welcoming, and you can tell they use good-quality meat and fresh ingredients.The not-so-good: The breakfast burrito was a bit underwhelming--it could've used some pico or salsa to give it more flavor. Also, the food was more warm/room temp than hot, which took away from the experience. Finally, the prices felt a little high for what you get.Overall, it's a solid spot, especially for the pastor, but it lands closer to 3.5 stars than a full 4. I'd come back, but with slightly adjusted expectations."

Mik L. "It's been a challenge finding legit Mexican since coming to the Springs. So glad we found this place. The market is great for getting your Asada, Chorizo and other meats that you can't get in other stores. Get your cheeses and pastries too as well as all other necessities for cooking your fav Mexican dishes. We stopped in the restaurant to grab tacos and they were very satisfying! Best Mexican we have had since coming to the Springs. Everyone we have encountered here has been very nice and helpful especially since we don't speak Spanish and some employees speak only Spanish."

Lindsey K. "La Vaca is an awesome meat shop on Main St. in Littleton. We first started going there to purchase beef jerky, which is excellent. I then looked at their website and discovered they have a variety or grass fed and grass finished beef. It's not easy to find beef that's grass finished, and I appreciate that they offer that option. They have an excellent website and you can place an order for pickup, which is a great feature these days. Definitely give this local business a try!"

Mark T. "Azul! It's time for another review, and what better place than Rocky Mountain Meat Market at Colorado/Iliff? Yea, they've got your lamb shanks, your prime beef. and (of course!) your spicy Merguez sausage, but there is so much more to peep at in this cozy little nook.The owner of RMMM is in fact Amazigh from Algeria (you'll notice that the Halal sign on the wall has English, Arabic, *and* Tifinagh letters when you enter), and his intent is to bring a bounty of North African delectables to his ever-eager customer base. Are you needing some hot-as-heck Harissa sauce from Tunisia to add some chile to your cooking? You can find it here - and how! Maybe instead you're in search of a nice big bag of couscous straight from Casablanca? Again, you've come to the right place. And how about a selection of soda from the proprietor's home country? One of my favorites in this regard is Selecto. "Oh, how does that one taste?", I hear you inquire. Well, it's kind of, um, apple-y, date-y, coke-y... hmm, maybe I should stop trying to describe it - let's just say you'll love it and leave it at that. But then, there are also bottles of orange-flower water, chocolate custard mixes, cans of succulently-sauced tuna, boxes of mint tea - basically, all your Maghrebi food needs will be filled in a single visit here.As it turns out however, it's truly your lucky day, because RMMM in fact features products from all across the Near and Middle East to enthuse over. How about a jumbo-sized can of ghee from Jordan (adorned with a very aerodynamic gazelle)? Or some fava beans with a plethora of seasoning choices, whether your tastes lean more towards Lebanon, Egypt, or al-Khalij (the Gulf region)? Ooh, those chocolate/hazelnut cookies from Turkey look good don't they? And I can attest that they're even more flavorful than you can imagine. And naturally, the shelves are filled with jars upon jars of pickled and preserved vegetables of all kinds too - from cucumbers, to olives, to grape leaves, to.... Oops! I really should watch where I'm going a bit more, shouldn't I? I very nearly backed into this substantial selection of enormous bags of rice from India and Pakistan. But my favorite part of the shop is probably the cooler, where I can buy Kalb el Louz (Algerian semolina/almond cake) or Mille-Feuille (layered cream pastry)."
