    Carnitas
    Ronda F.

    I was lucky enough to grow up in Elgin and at one point lived across the street from La Roca. Now I drive to Elgin from Aurora just to get food from this place. I live it and you will too! My favorite is the barbaoca But you should also they the red guisado and the carnitas. If your in Elgin and don't stop by ..... You're missing out man!

    Carnitas and Barbacoa

    Super friendly people!! From the city so we didn't have any carnitas place in the area. I found them on Yelp! Definitely a must go to place!! barbacoa was lit!! Carnitas wee nice and not overly fatty.

    I have been shopping at this location since it opened in 2007, and I have seen many employees come…read moreand go. However, Ivanna at the deli counter is by far the best I have encountered since the store opened. I believe that employees should be recognized for exceptional service when it is deserved. Ivanna always greets customers with a smile and is eager to assist them. I hope management acknowledges her efforts and recognizes her outstanding service. Great employees are hard to find and retain. Rosa in the bakery department is unfortunately at the other end of the spectrum. Rosa is so rude and unhelpful that my wife avoids the bakery department completely! I, on the other hand, will not let one rude and unprofessional employee keep me from any department in that store. I have asked Rosa time and time again for assistance in getting fresh bread, only to be told that there is none available to bake (even though I can see there is in the background) or that they first have to sell what is in the baskets. Both are incorrect answers to a customer. I run my own business, and my employees know that the customer is always right. I only hope that management corrects this problem promptly, because one toxic employee can ruin the rest of the team.

    I like shopping here. The vegetables and fruit are fresh. The inventory is well stocked. The…read moreprices are good. The workers are nice. It is also clean.

    Almost an entire aisle of gluten free products is wonderful as these are usually underrepresented in most grocery stores.
