Sullivan's in Mendota is a nice clean store. The problem is employee attitude or at least two…read moreemployees that spoil it for the rest. One of them is Lisa at the service desk. If you've ever had a problem or question, lookout for her uncaring glare and sharp piss poor attitude. The other is Nancy! Nancy will demean and ridicule cashier employees right in front of or within earshot of customers. If upper management would quietly monitor or simply check the cameras on Nancy they would find this true. Also, they would find Nancy doing what she does best and that is taking numerous smoke breaks. Nancy can be found smoking by the entrance door, smoking while pretending to collect carts or hiding in her car while pretending to collect carts. Dylan the store manager is awesome and always has a smile. My guess is that Dylan is well aware of Nancy and Lisa but doesn't want to get involved. Another awesome employee is Juan. Juan is always full of positive energy and genuinely caring. Also, Christina is the polar opposite of Nancy! Christina is caring and respectful towards everyone. Note to upper management: Take a look at constructive criticism and investigate. If you really want to make improvement consider a mailing survey to local customers. Another thought would be survey cards in store that could be mailed to management directly rather than the local store, register receipt with online access survey is another option.

I can tell you that their beef and chicken that are used in their recipes are good, as are their tortillas and rice. The hill I am going to climb and die on is the Diaz el pastor. Theirs is a bit different than others I have had. I suspect that theirs is somewhat less resembling 'street' than others. But theirs is a bit spicier, more flavorful and just overall better than anything else I have ever had. I would be happy to try to eat my weight in the Diaz pastor. Pig Sooey!! Order yourself some el pastor tacos and keep some bottle Coke nearby.

The store it self is in on a side street with plenty of parking and at first opening on a Saturday is pretty easy to navagate because the crowds have not formed yet. The store itself has a small town feel to it, no big chain store feel and more like a neighborhood place. I was surprised to see the salad/pasta bar set up just after 8am, not a huge one but all the basics. Patty invited me to stop by the store if I was ever in the neighborhood, I was was going to Iowa so I was passing Dixon Il and I'm getting off the Hwy because I brought a cooler with me because no way I'm a few miles away and not getting this sausage that I like so much. Flynnies Diner, a local spot uses Olivers for all their meat and I found it in the breakfast plate that I had which i immediately liked. Since I didn't know what the what I was looking for in the store the meat guy helped me, I explained that I wanted the sausage that Flynnies serves and he took me right to it. It was in a small but nicely thought out good looking meat case, nice red meat by the way. Since Patty was so passionate about me correcting my review and setting the record straight and having confirmed with the restaurant owner where the sausage actually came from, I gladly corrected my review so I asked if she was in today and could I speek to her. I just wanted a couple minutes to introduce my self since she took the time to reach out to me and to meet her after correcting the record, it was full circle for the whole situation. The breakfast sausage is top quality which you can tell with the first bite, it's pretty lean and very tasty. It's a very dense/hearty breakfast sausage that is seasoned perfect and like me when you first taste it you know that this is not any commercial sausage. When I had it at the diner I knew that this was a fresh local product and I was right. Patty O I apologize for the wrong information from my server at Flynnies Diner and I was happy to correct my review with your information and give you all the credit that your store deserves and it was nice meeting you and thank you for the great breakfast sausage that I left with, when ever I'm that way I'm bringing a cooler to take some with me.
