"Columbian," Danilo . . . AS IN DRUGS? ! ! ! !
All joking aside, what exactly do you mean by Columbian or South American Stores . . . clothes, shoes and/or food items?

I'm looking for a food store.
Actually I'm from Venezuela, but I know that they also use what I want to buy when I'm over there to share with some co-workers
It's called "arepa" (the "rika" can is just butter)
Uhhh well, I just found it on the internet

Unfortunately that very same Goya flour was just discontinued at work and I sold the last 20 packages to another South American gentleman.
If you're looking for a store in Tucson be aware that Mesa is actually a suburb of Phoenix. And of course that last one you put up IS Phoenix.
I guess that only leaves one choice ;-)

Don't they sell this type of stuff in the Mexican stores...? Mexicans use a lot of corn. There are some Asian markets in town that sell other imports, too. There's one on 22nd St a little East of Swan, I believe, on the South side. Also remember one at Stone & Grant... not sure if it was Grant, but it's on Stone pretty close to PCC downtown campus) There's also the 17th St. Farmer's market (it's not really a farmer's market, but a warehouse) which is mostly Asian-oriented, too, but they do have a lot of European and other imported food.
