Believe me, I've compared. I always leave here with bags and bags of fruit. They also have a great meats, deli, and dairy section.

Love the fact that the store is kept clean and that they have tropical music playing to keep you dancing down the aisles.

The actual grocery store is big and has plenty of room to shop. The selection of produce and meats are well provided- Having also a choice of premarinated or fresh. Most days they do have nice seafood, though not big enough for my liking. Service is always good too, in each department. They are attentive and helpful. It does get quite packed and busy at times. The salsas made there and types are also something to look forward to. Its never enough spicy but you will get flavor, just add more spice yourself. The prices for produce is pocket friendly and for generic items, you'll usually find a sale or possibly a deal. Selection on candy and cookies by the cashiers. Do check out the bakery- desserts, chocolate snacks and even cakes.

After many years of hearing about this place and driving past it countless times, I finally decided…read moreto give Las Tóxicas #2 a try. I went in with genuine excitement and high expectations, which honestly made the disappointment hit even harder. Let's start with the basics--if you're going to advertise items on your menu, they should actually be available. Being told there were no tortas right off the bat was frustrating. It may seem like a small thing, but it sets the tone. It makes you question how organized or consistent things are behind the scenes. I ended up ordering the nachos with elote, thinking it would be a safe choice. Unfortunately, they were anything but impressive. The cheese lacked flavor and had that low-quality, almost artificial taste that just doesn't sit right. Nachos are supposed to be indulgent and satisfying--this felt like an afterthought. Then came the elote placed in the middle, which should have been a highlight. Instead, it was one of the biggest letdowns. It was very clear that the corn had been frozen at some point. The texture was off, and the flavor just wasn't there. Elote should be rich, creamy, tangy, and full of life--this was bland and forgettable. Beyond the food, the atmosphere didn't help the situation. The music was extremely loud--to the point where it was hard to even focus on the meal or have a conversation. So i opted to take it to go. There's a difference between creating a vibe and overwhelming your customers, and this leaned heavily toward the latter. What really makes this disappointing is the time I waited to try this place. When you build something up for years, you expect at least a decent experience. Instead, it felt like nothing was executed with care--from the menu inconsistency to the food quality to the overall environment. This one genuinely hurts to write because I wanted to like it. I wanted to walk out recommending it. But based on this visit, it just didn't deliver. Definitely not worth the wait, and unfortunately not a place I'd return to. The story of Las Toxicas is beautiful, and maybe atone point it was awesome, but as of now, it let me down. They have to get it together and when I return in a few months, i can rewrite my review. But this is my raw review today as you all know, I don't take my reviews lightly.

Pretty cool spot on 47th and Kedvale…read more The story is touching on how this came about 2.5 years ago. We met Teresa the owner. Her mom was a street vendor for so many years and then they started their business in their home and now they have this local business. Happy it's 8 minutes away from where I live. It's a very small place but I think it looks small bc of the giant Teddys bears . The service is good. It gets full but there's enough staff to prep food, desserts and corn on the cob and drinks. I ordered the ELOCHETOS. I was able to finish the corn on the cob but not the extra corn on the side. Maybe if I was on empty I'd would have eaten it all. It wasn't as spicy as I hoped but it was not bad. My sisters orders so many other things. I'll post them now. I came at 7 pm on a Monday and it was packed Seating is limited so come before 6 pm to get a seat.

Huge variety of reasonable price seeds, raisins and all kinds of nut products. Parking is always available. I usually go later in the day and the deli area is never crowded. They also have fresh baked bread products that are worth the cost. Gone here for over 10 years.

Better selection than expected. The prices are mostly okay. Better to support a local business than a chain. It certainly is a reason to come here. The selection isn't that bad either for it not being that big of a place. Has a humongous produce section at the front that takes up like a whole side of the store so if you're looking for some fresh fruits this is a good place to come look. There's tons of produce including apples, oranges, and more. Friendly owners and workers here. It's nice being able to get help. There's also plenty of candy among the fruits and vegetables.

I finally made it out to Farm on Ogden after contemplating a few times post completion of workouts…read moreat Lawndale Christian Fitness Center. Luckily, it was open until 6:00 PM the Saturday of my visit or I would have prolonged it until who knows when. Farm on Ogden stopped me while enroute to a restaurant the evening of my visit; offering me a much healthier choice to eat in comparison. I visited with an interest of purchasing a salad similar to one I had purchased days ago at Green Tomato Cafe, a cafe attached to Lawndale Christian Health Center. But more importantly I wanted to see what produce items were available for purchase. My introduction to Farm on Ogden was at the 2018 Lawndale 5k where it was mentioned that the proceeds from the race support the farm, which at the time I had no idea of. In time I learned about it after visits to Lawndale Christian Health Center - Fitness Center & Green Tomato Cafe. This visit felt like an adventure because rarely do I encounter or let alone visit an indoor farm. Highly intrigued by the presence of its greenhouse and aquaponics system which I will have to sign up for a tour in the future to learn about. As much as I wanted to ask questions about it at the time of my visit, the time was limited and I was quite positive that I would learn about it in the future eventually. Anything that contributes to the growth of a community by offering healthier foods, jobs, and education I am all for. And Farm on Ogden does so with its partnership with Lawndale Christian Health Center and Chicago Botanic Garden - Windy City Harvest. There are opportunities for anyone including veterans and adults with criminal backgrounds. If you drive, there are no worries about parking because it has its own private lot with street parking available as well. And if you do not drive, yet familiar with Chicago Transit Authority the farm sits right outside of CTA Central Park - Pink line making it an easy commute to-and-from. I made it no secret to one of the employees that I would be returning in the near future after what I discovered. Even though I live outside of the Lawndale community, it is heartwarming knowing that my contributions to not only Farm on Ogden, but Lawndale Christian Health Center are meaningful. ~Blessings~ Thomas G

So be advised that this is a little out of the way, but really just a little or you can take the "L" and get off at Central Park. If you make your way to Riot Fest, you can find this easy peasy. The payoff, you get to support a jobs and teaching program. It's a partnership between Lawndale Christian Health and the Chicago Botanic Garden's Windy City Harvest. What else do you get, a bevy of freshly grown (most there) vegetables, tomatoes, lettuces, kale, radishes, peppers, beets on and on. If it's not grown on site they tell you where it came from. They had some pineapple and grapefruit, we know those weren't grown here. Pricing is very reasonable, better than you find at some of the neighborhood farmers markets. I bought a healthy bag of stuff for 16 bucks, and that includes one of their reusable tote bags for 2 bucks. So glad to see a worthwhile program that brings healthy food and a jobs program to the Lawndale neighborhood. Definitely repeatable.

I've been to a number of Farmers Markets throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. From the…read moremarket in Daley Center to markets on the near west side, Lombard, Brookfield, Skokie, and now Riverside. While parking can be questionable at some locations the regular and handicap parking here seems plentiful within the the square and the entire area has both a true small town feel and also a big local park feel with trees and flowers. For an afternoon Farmers Market there was a full supply of vendors during each of my visits. Many have mentioned the knife sharpening and after I had a pair of scissors sharpened I'm also a believer. With many vendors offering multiple types of veggies and plants there is a lot to look at. While I didn't buy raw honey (not super processed or pasteurized so most people say it has better health benefits and and fuller flavor) here at Riverside yet, I expect to need some at the start of the next season. There are multiple Amish vendors and I was lucky to spend a while talking to one of the Amish families about their farm and some of their core values. I've worked directly with a few different Amish families in Illinois and Indiana and have found each to be an unique experience. If you have time to talk to some of them or buy your veggies or baked goods from them you'll love the experience. Some people I've spoken to treat a Farmers Market like a bartering flea market but I find the quality to be high and prices reasonable and don't think that it's appropriate to ask a farmer or baker to lower their price when they have put some high labor in to their products. Hard work should be rewarded.

The chicken was perfectly seasoned and moist. I loved the tabbouleh salad as it was plentiful and vibrant. Vegetables were also good. I'm not sure how I felt about the pilaf. It was good but also had an oatmeal taste to it, which I'm not a fan of. Either way, it was intriguing in a good way. The plate also came with a WHOLE piece of pita, which was cut into 4 slices...it was very soft and warm. You also got to choose your flavor profile. I wanted spicy but it said sriarcha which I found to be odd, so I went with the garlic. Everything was simply good and wholesome. I just wished that it was under $10, even if it was less food.
