Great little Mexican grocery store near Calumet Park. This was my first visit. Plenty of fresh food, fruits, veggies, etc. There's taqueria inside that I haven't tried yet. The clerk was very friendly and talkative and it's air conditioned! They do ask that bags be checked at the door. I bought a Tropicana Coconut and Pineapple drink and it was delicious! I felt comfortable and will return again soon.

Decent corner store in the city. Staff is very friendly and they sell tacos, tortas, and other mexican dishes. Might want to call ahead to see what they have on the weekends. I picked up rice and pico all very good. They had a long line of people waiting for tacos, so one can assume they are pretty good. They have a small parking lot and do take cash and cards.

Very friendly family run market. They have a small taco stand in the back of the store and make excellent tamales on the weekends and delicious cheese stuff peppers on Wednesdays. The butchers are always friendly and helpful. It's like visiting family because they know their customers.

Lots of authentic ethnic foods, spices and things... Candies too. They have a small eat in carry out kitchen. I loved the enormous burritos! Like the kind that used to be served in the late 80's' huge! The prices are right and you get more than you would get anywhere else. Highly recommended. Not a formal dining area. Just two chairs and a counter. For take out it is ideal!

Best menudo! The bad thing they don't give you chopped onion or oregano, you have to buy it. Tacos are 3.50 but they are lots of meat!
