Contreras Market — Restaurant in Denver

The store is small and has your typical mexican convenience store items plus a bakery and small selection of vegetables. However, I'm glad I discovered the bakery flour tortillas here are amazing! I travel across town once a month and bulk buy several flour tortillas to freeze and reheat for burritos/wraps or our meals. They reheat wonderfully unlike any other flour tortilla I've tried. Several friends agree the flavor is simply delicious. Even my Mexican mother-in-law with legendary cuisine, likes them. One thing though is, sometimes the tortillas have some black soot on them, but its due to the ash of the utensils from cooking the tortillas. It's not mold. However make sure to freeze if you won't use immediately to ensure they stay preserved. I hope they never go out of business so i never run out of delicious flour...

The tortillas are awesome, except that they grow mold within 24hrs after you buy them. Don't sell old tortillas!

First went here about 2 weeks ago to try the tortillas and a burrito. I don't know how the burrito was because I couldn't eat it. I said sin queso multiple times yet they still put cheese on it. I gave it to a homeless person after I realized that. Pay attention to what people say. I try my best to speak Spanish and learned how to say sin queso years ago because I'm allergic. I did have tortillas to take home. They were excellent the first day but grew mold super fast and I threw half of them away.

I thought I'd try again because the tortillas are so good. This time they grew mold even faster, in under 24hrs.

I hope you enjoyed my donation to your business for all the food I had to give away...

While awaiting a tire repair across the street, my husband and I discovered this Mexican market. As Texans with a deep appreciation for authentic Mexican cuisine, and with my Hispanic heritage, I can confidently state that this market provides genuinely exceptional REAL AUTHENTIC Mexican food. Every detail, from the pan dulce to the barbacoa torta, is outstanding. Since our return to Texas, we frequently recall our experience and express our longing to revisit Denver for their extraordinary barbacoa torta and my personal favorite the asada burrito. We are fortunate to be revisiting Colorado by the end of January and eagerly anticipate indulging in their remarkable cuisine once...
