Pete's Market in Oak Park, IL, has the best hot food section in all of Oak Park, hands down. It is…read morenot even close when it comes to other stores. When I first got food from Pete's Market in Oak Park, I was quite impressed. The food was delicious. I liked the set up. I saw they had a lot of variety and appealing options for food. The grocery store is clean and well-organized. The staff have been attentive. I definitely got a family vibe from the store. They even have a dining area. When I ate the baklava there for the first time, it brought light to my eyes and joy to my mouth. I have enjoyed their fruit produce a lot as well. My favorite food from the store has been their fruit produce and their hot food section, but they have a lot of other awesome food as well. I have not been eating a lot of sweets, but their baked goods look delicious. Their veggies also look fantastic. I have gotten celery there that I liked a lot. Pete's Market in Oak Park even has foods I have had trouble finding in other stores, e.g., cans of soy milk. The lamb they have in their hot food section is out of this world. I have not even seen lamb in other grocery stores as part of hot foods/prepared foods. Overall, Pete's Market is one of my favorite grocery stores. I have found myself craving their food multiple times. When I am not there, I have thought about and looked forward to when I could go there again, like a special treat. I would definitely recommend the food here to almost anyone.

There was Indian and Greek options during the time I visited. The staff are polite and friendly. The food is delicious. My father got some of the Italian wedding soup, some cod, and mashed potatoes. I got some fresh rolled sushi. We spent $45. And though it was really good, it wasn't worth $45. We ate in the seating area and it was busy, because the Amazon return center is just past it, so there's constant traffic of randos walking by, which is annoying.

Sometimes the best food comes from taquerias that appear in poor physical shape.

La Conchita serves as a supermercado, carniceria, panaderia and taqueria. I've never done any hardcore grocery shopping here, but it's always been convenient since it's so close to home. If I ever run out of tortillas, bread, pop, laundry detergent even, I know I don't have to drive very far. I recently ate from the taqueria for the first time. Since I was doing laundry right next door and I have a love affair with burritos, it was time. And I have to say, they make a damn good burrito. They add a touch of onion and cilantro, so it almost tastes like a taco in a burrito. They didnt go overboard with the sour cream, and the avacado slice was a nice touch. Added points for the roasted jalapeno and two wedges of lime they included on the side. Definitely the epitome of why we always called downtown Franklin Park "little Mexico". I do say it's in desperate need of a make-over, but it's not affecting their business any. So kudos to La Conchita.

What I found interesting is that the location of the produce was literally right at the front door. Not sure who thought that was a good idea as people tend to linger over their produce selections, so I can only imagine what the entrance must look like on a busy day. Got to give them props for beer selection on the day I was there. There was Two Brothers, Revolution Anti Hero, Goose Island 312 and Lagunitas Little Sumpin' (favorites of The Queen and The Doctor). Store was clean and well organized and brightly lit compared to some stores. There were some items they did not have that I see at other stores I go to (the package smoke salmon), but that is not a deal breaker as I know different stores have different items they carry. When I am out this way, this is definitely a store I could stop in as it is off River Road and easy to get back to the highway to head home.
