The grind on all of them was finer than what I prefer, and they all tasted like they had a bit of something like vinegar in them. And at about $9 per pound, they're pricey for this area. But I liked that the links in each pack were not connected, and I particularly liked that all of the links were on the thicker side. I'll try these same four choices again to see if the flavor is better, but before then I'll visit Frankie's Deli in Oakbrook Terrace for the best hot and mild Italian sausage, and Ream's Meat Market in Elburn for several varieties from their huge selection of sausages.

This location opened a few months back and I have been wanting to check it out!…read moreI went there on Friday, and seriously wished I had not waited that long! Store is squeaky clean, vendors very nice and helpful, and the meat assortment? Extraordinary! Everything is frozen but high quality meats (like Berkshire pork, etc) . With tons of different cuts and very fair prices! They also have fish / seafood and some side dishes / desserts. Oh, and bread! I only tried a couple of the things I bought but so far, 10 out of 10! This is definitely going in my rotation

Drop everything you're doing and come here! My brother took me here and I'm not crazy about Elotes…read morespecifically the mayonnaise, but these elotes are top notch. So delicious! You can either get a traditional elote that comes on a stick or you can get your elote in a cup, I chose to get the cup. It was so good, I couldn't even taste the mayo. I also got their nachos. I only got Doritos with melted cheese but I'm pretty sure you can add extra toppings! Even though my nachos were plain they were so good. Especially the melted cheese. It tasted so high quality, much different from your standard melted cheese. If you don't come here for anything else come here for the horchata. They have so many different flavors. Original, mango, strawberry, the list goes on! I got the pina colada- my absolute favorite drink. It was incredible, they even threw in a few cherries. Everything filled me up. I felt like I ate a 3 course meal. I was stuffed, in the best way possible! I definitely have to come back for the banana split, I saw someone order it and I was practically gawking at it when it came out! The menu is vast and you have plenty of options. It's not really a place where you can sit and eat it's more of like a grab and go. Everyone was super friendly. I will definitely be back for more.

If you're a foodie and an early bird, this is a good stop in downtown Naperville; they open daily…read moreat 8 am, even Sundays! This shop, home to many varietals of olive oil, vinegar and other gourmet goodies, shares space with Dark Horse Pastries, so you also have your choice of baked goods. They also sell a small array of wine and beer, and products from other local companies such as chocolates and honey (creamed raw raspberry honey, anyone? Sounds good to me!) You can taste all the varieties of oil and vinegar. Like it spicy? Pick from habanero, jalapeno or red pepper oil! Want fruit flavor? How about Mexican Lime, Meyer Lemon or Blood Orange? The balsamic vinegar came in an array of interesting flavors, including Dark Chocolate, which I think would pair well with strawberries! I liked that there were larger and smaller sized bottles to choose from (small size was 5 oz). They also sell a modest range of dip mixes, mustard, pesto, pasta, and assorted other treats. The addition of the bakery in the same building makes this shop a little different from some of the other gourmet places around here (note that there are several other places in downtown Naperville that specialize in this type of product). It's slightly hard to find (go down the alley between Potbelly and the yellow house building and it's in the courtyard behind), but worth looking for! Staff was friendly but not pushy, and quite "on" for early morning! :) Note to credit card users: if you spend less than $5, an extra 50¢ charge is added.

Located right by the parking garage behind some Washington St. street-facing…read moreshops, this shop features flavorful olive oils, wine, and other items such as pasta and pesto. I've since visited this store twice - once when they first opened and once a few weeks ago. Their selection of balsamic vinegars in different flavors are fresh and unique for the area. I really like that they have spicy oils too, which are my favorite! They have testers with bread of each product so you can test your favorite before purchasing! I don't find their prices too be that expensive either! I would definitely recommend supporting this local business downtown if you're in need of some fresh oils or vinegars!

I had the Majadito which is a beef/steak rice with eggs, plantains, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. A relatively simple dish when described, but the combination of flavors was delightful. And a big portion I ended up bringing some home to have for breakfast the next day. My uncle had the asada en olla, a roasted beef stew with rice that had my uncle pausing repeatedly to comment how delicious it was. And he is less of a foodie than I am, so for him to comment like that was a big compliment. We shared some steak and chicken empanadas. A bite of empanada with some of their house made hot sauce is a bite of heaven. Service was so sweet and kind, attentive but in a respectful way. This is truly a family run spot and I felt like I was a guest in their home being given a home cooked meal made with love. The restaurant is clean and cozy. The bathrooms included. And there is plentiful street parking in front and the surrounding areas. A gem in the suburbs that shouldn't be hidden. While I always look for them at the markets, I will definitely be back to this place.

It is deceivingly small at first but it ended up being just the perfect portion (and a very reasonable price). My boyfriend got the Memphis sandwich and burnt ends which he really enjoyed. We also tried some of their "strawberry pickles" which were actually pretty good - super hard to describe so you'll just have to try them for yourself!

Only negative I could find is they don't offer a very large deli variety; nor do they make many salads to choose from. Joseph's has them beat there!
