Chicago Produce

This place is my place to run out and get that thing I forgot place. The produce is as good as Harvestime and the produce area is clean and well stocked. You can't get everything you want but you can get what you need to make a good dinner. The cashiers are always friendly and gracious.

It's not what I expected. Some items were overpriced, I get that the prices are going up but damn. I went in to check the prices on some things but I didn't buy anything.

Chicago Produce is not far from my house, but I finally went to buy groceries here for the first time recently. Chicago Produce is on Lawrence just a bit west of the Kimball Brown Line stop. It is not a huge grocery store, but it is a fair size and has enough interesting products on the shelves to make it a pleasant shopping experience. There is a parking lot next to the store that always seems busy, as it shares space with a 24 hour bakery.The first part of the store features fruits and vegetables. You will see some random pinatas hanging from the ceiling (for purchase??). My lovely friend mentioned that she bought some of the best (leanest) cuts of chicken that she has ever seen. Indeed there was recently a crazy good sale where you could practically stock up on meats for the year. The deli counter also featured some fine cheeses, and there was a cooler with some fresh tempting tamales. The workers all seemed very friendly and helpful during our recent visit. Chicago Produce lives up to its name by selling some pretty tasty and reasonably priced produce.

Excellent store. I wanted to check this place out because it holds a childhood memory to me. When we lived in Albany Park in the late 70s to mid 80s it was called Gikas Bros. It's changed names several times over the years. Now it's Chicago Produce. A Mexican grocery store. It's a decent sized neighborhood store. Nice selection of produce. Good prices for the size of the store. Now a good store like this has to have a great meat section and they did not disappoint. Picked up some skirt steak. Around 3 pounds for 20 bucks and it was great. They cleaned it and put it through a machine which I think tenderizes the steak. Made my mom a great dinner with it.

Their meat section is amazing. I got 1.3pounds/2$ beef bones and made a lip-smacking bone broth. Their beef, pork and wings are also super fresh, have good cuts and inexpensive compared to Jewel Osco. I came out with 3 pounds of beef bones, a pound of ground beef, 2 pounds of chicken wings, 2 pounds of fresh eggplant, spinach and only paid 18$. It's a great place to shop for fresh fruits, veggies and meat

Recently, I've been seeing some improvements on Chicago Produce overall.Their presentations on fresh produce are full and organized. Their prices are more competitive in comparison to the nearby Mayfair Market. In addition, I feel that their meat and seafood departments are better than what I saw last year. Especially the seafood department, I've been sensing a major change on offering better quality items. Since I rarely come in during lunch hours, I cannot really comment on the hot food counter, but I've occasionally seen some leftovers and they look quite decent to me. Hope one of these days I get a chance to try them.

I recently stopped by here to purchase items for guacamole. Avocados were 2 for $1, limes were 15 for $1, cilantro bundles 3 for $1... I would have to disagree with the other reviewer about the produce prices. I can't find prices like that at Jewel or Dominick's. Just sayin'. Along with fresh produce, they also carry Hispanic staples - dulce de leche, Adobo and Sazon seasoning (must-haves in my house), dried beans, spices, Goya brand empanada dough in the freezer, several brands of tortillas, and more. They have $5 rotisserie chicken, carnitas, and Spanish rice at the prepared food counter, as well as fresh store-made salsa and guacamole by the produce section. Grab some carnitas, tortillas, salsa, and guac here to make great tacos at home. And they carry Mexican Coke in glass bottles! Score!

This place is A-Ok, as the 3 star rating suggests. Great neighborhood grocery store.. HAs everything you need and often has some deals on certain items..They even have a hot and ready food bar and a butcher/baked section.

This grocery store is very good for certain kinds of produce, but today I bought three eats of corn for $2.39 and red peppers for about $2/lb. In terms of hispanic food staples, this place has it all including orange Mexican pop.I find the meat cuts to be lacking, today went in for some porterhouse steaks and found $3.50 cuts that were way undersized. Props for having ground sausage and selling fryer chicken, but no props for not selling deboned chicken thighs.I like the rotisserie chicken, spanish rice, and chicken wings sold every day. The deli has most meats I am looking for but roast beef is never to be found and the deli workers never cut the meat thin to my specifications so the texture of the meat is not as good as it could be.Yes, they sell frozen pizza puff. You'll even find frozen rabbit in their freezer - frozen rabbit? You got me, man! All in all good enough for basic grocery needs, but lacking in some dimensions in snacks and deli meat.

I am filing a complaint against the owners of thisgrocery store. The Greek owners constantly followme when I purchase my soda. Please read the 1 starreviews on the first page, this store needs to befined for following Latino Males throughout the store. The cashier told me the owners are Spiros Kalantzisand his son George Kalantzis. George follows me upand down the aisles as I shop. Thank you cashierMs. Genesis for listening to my complaint. The cashiersare great the owners like to follow People in the store.
