My in laws were excited as well but as we were chatting we saw people getting their food first before us. Then as we started to look more concerned the busser is the only employee who checked in with us. We finally got our drinks because of him. Waiter was nowhere to be seen. As waiter came to the table we received dirty napkins and spoons. When food finally arrived, it was cold so we had to wait a couple more minutes. Just my worst experience for my first time here. My burrito LITERALLY didn't have meat Also! The owner was a table behind us and I bet he was hearing us talk shit about this place and didn't say nothing. He was giving the VIP service to his buddies and the buddies were selling perfumes. He kept spraying cologne and perfume while customers were eating. I was eating at a Macys. HORRIBLE!!!

I am very unhappy with this racist place of business. I had a bad experience there yesterday that I…read morebelieve was racism. I've been here many times. My boyfriend and I came up to the register and the cashier saw us but decided to leave. She was returning some baskets and never came back. I was stunned. We went to a different lane and left. They have a good clean produce section. That is what I come here for unless there is a sale on pop or other stuff. All the other products are highly overpriced. No one seems happy here. No one smiles or asks to help you or talk to you at all. I guess management hasn't heard about the benefits of good customer service. It reduces employee turnover and retains customers. PS. I am a senior and white.

Between the…read moreincredible Selena mural outside and the fact that it's tucked inside a liquor store, the whole experience feels like discovering a hidden gem. I eat a lot of tacos, and this was, without question, the best pollo (chicken) taco I've ever had. I was expecting the usual dry, bland, or overcooked chicken, but instead it was incredibly juicy, packed with flavor, and generously loaded with meat. Every bite was outstanding. The only downside was the wait time, but once the food arrived, it was easy to see why people are willing to wait. If you're a taco lover, this is a must-visit. I'll definitely be back.

People know about self-checkout, clearly guest will rather go through the regular check out. Those males they have over there in the deli have ruined the quality of the hot or cooked items over there. I've heard a customer request the $1 item and they said there wasn't any more they'd have to cook them, THEN turned and said they wouldn't have time. They stand back there moving so slow it's unbelievable. The one guy with the real thick glasses has a real nasty attitude. Every time a woman asks for something he's speaking under his breath about them. I hear because I stand a wait for another guy to come available because I never want to deal with him and he speaks negatively of the customers because they have request. Personally, I decided to just go to other locations or other stores, if I want something from the deli. The store is clean, but it be so crowded.

They're full sized pieces and their breading doesn't overdo the flour making it dry. Maybe they add milk to the batter? I'm not an expert cook but it's always consistent and popular with others when I'm there. Aside from the fried chicken that comes in a box I like their sandwiches boxed ready to go. Their parking lot makes the store a gem compared to others in this part of Chicago. At Walmart you can't park and leave with a pack of gum in under 20 minutes without mass transit to get you to the building. Here you can park quickly and grab the products you want and roll out just as quickly. I like they're locally owned (or are they?).

Well slap your Abuela! She needs to come over here and get…read moresome lessons from them on how to REALLY cook. Trust me... As always, I am looking for new fantastic restaurants, and stores to try out, and share with: family, friends, and on Yelp. As you walk in it seems like a common corner store, groceries in the front, meat towards the rear. When I walked to the back I had a pretty good hunch this would be a great one. The fresh smell, it was very clean, and the amazing eye catching signage. You could feel like you just walked into in a sweet little store in Mexico. When they handed me the food I ordered I knew was on the right track. When I took my first bites I smiled, and knew, I needed to share this place. I was intrigued by the Pozole Verde sign out front. I had never had it before, so I placed my order for that and zero regrets. It comes out in a quart container with a plastic wrapped foam tray with: chopped onions, cilantro, radish, shredded cabbage, and mexican oregano. I added mostly everything but went easy on the oregano. The chunks of chicken were tender and not overcooked. The hominy and vegetables were just right as well. They have this to a science and it has to be near perfect. Now to the tacos: As you often see in neighborhood grocery stores the chorizo was hanging in back above the meat counter, so a house made chorizo taco was a given. The Al Pastor was reccomend by the one of the butchers, and I had a steak taco to round it, and myself, out. All I can say is that like the pozole everything was superb. Even the salsas.. I wish I knew of this place when I worked and lived in the area. I would definitely have known everyone there by name. I still smile thinking of it, and next time I'm in that hood, I will be there. I look forward to trying out a few more menu items, and picking up some of the fresh meat. So maybe don't slap Grandma... but you should at least pick her up and take her out to lunch here. Enjoy! #AlfieEats
