Rico Fresh Market has a convenient location. The layout of the store appeared excellent. Food was well-organized. I liked the lighting of the store and its ambiance. I was grateful that the store had a parking lot, which was helpful in Chicago in terms of convenience. It looked like the store had a wide selection and variety. They had a taqueria that they said closed at 8PM. I enjoyed some corn tortilla chips I got from this store. They played some awesome latin music that I enjoyed. It looked like this store typically had great produce. It looked like they typically had good prepared foods to go as well. They had a delightful lady at the register who seemed like she had a good sense of humor and a lovely voice. read more

Don't trust the hours listed on their door or website- they stop letting customers in at least 10 minutes before closing hours listed. Prices are noticeably higher than other grocery stores. You're much better off going to Tony's Fresh Market which is only half a mile away and has better prices and longer hours. read more

I love the little taqueria inside the grocery store. Hidden gem is the tamales. I prefer the queso and jalapeño as well as the frijoles. Always speedy. Always good. read more

I go to this store often with my sister and mother. the location is very busy at all times of the day, the product sold here are one's needed in a Latin home. Although you can pretty much find anything needed as you would any other grocery store. The staff is friendly and helpful. The cafe attached to this location has all kinds of Mexican dishes and by the way a must try of the tamales. I tried the chicken in green sauce it was delicious and a little hot as I like it. read more

I loved the taqueria spot in the front. Tamales were flavorful and taste homemade. Pricing was average for the rest of the store and have a big selection of meats. read more

There is a small little restaurant in the market. Really good carnitas, and excellent cheese stuffed chili relleno tacos, i bit into the chili taco and cheese oozed out piping hot. As i told my neighbor surprisingly good food! The carnitas are really moist and the platter is enough for two! I believe it's affiliated with the latino grocery store. read more

This is a great store, I use to come here every day, but now large amounts of people drinking hang out on the east side of the building and hassle everyone that walks by, and threatens everyone. They need cameras in the back or to take some type of action against this for the safety of the store, as long as this continues to be an almost everyday thing, I will no longer go to this store. Hopefully they do something because I really enjoyed this store read more

Awesome grocery store with restaurant inside. The chicken dinner is fabulous will bring coming back read more

Update: August 22, 2020 Went in today. Saw the same guy with his mask down. Ludicrous. This review is a reflection of store management and not the workers who are all great and do their best during this time. About a week ago I went in and saw that two managers were wearing their masks improperly (one not at all). I saw them talking closely with workers and customers. I saw both the workers and the customers adjusting their masks (presumably to signal the offending manager to adjust his). After I checked out I approached both managers and chastised them about how if they are managers they should lead by example and wear their masks properly. I too am a front line worker and I can not abide by people in management not following the rules and putting their workers and the public at risk. I told them that all of their workers were wearing their masks properly and that they should be ashamed of themselves. That was my warning. Today I walked in and saw the SAME guy wearing his mask below his nose. I raised my eyebrows. He definitely remembered me and then when I looked up again he was miraculously wearing his mask properly. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. I want those workers protected. I want him to wear his mask right all the time, not just when I'm in there to monitor him. I will continue to shop there because the workers are nice and they like me because I stick up for them. But I'll be watching and I will continue to escalate my complaint until I see that guy wearing his mask right the moment I step in the door. He knows and he should do better by his employees and the public. read more

Food is great! Shop here for groceries frequently and love the chilaquiles from the restaurant.

This is where i get most of my groceries. They always have good specials, meat, produce, vegetables, etc. But their custumer service sucks , most of their cashiers are unfrienfly, they dont even greet you, most of the time they are to busy socializing, drinking some thing. If I take my own bag most of the time they wont help me get my groceries in the bag because i didn't buy it there. I shop at Rico Fresh at least 4-5 days a week . When i shop i buy a lot of stuff so i takes me a while to put in the bag, than tbey rush me because they want me to hurry and process the credit card, since I only have two hands I can only do one thing at the time. About a week ago same thing happened and the cashier was giving me dirty looks because i was putting my groceries in the bag. Lazy ass instead of helping she was doing this thing with her fingers like she was annoyed, I can garanteed shw wasnt more than me. They most not like their job or don't get oaid enough to be friendly and helpful... read more

This has been my go-to grocery store, but I have to call them out for price gouging toilet paper during the COVID-19 outbreak. $14 for a pack of TP in times when society is in deep struggle? Shame on you Rico Fresh. read more

Rico Fresh Market - Toilet paper is a whole $14 - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The store is clean, inexpensive, and well stocked. They have a multitude of vegetables spaces fresh meats, and the basics for frozen food and dairy free things other than cheese. The cashiers were nice, the restaurant is good, and there's plenty of parking in the parking lot. I can't think of anything more to ask for my weekly shopping. read more

Good neighborhood store needs more variety. Been there a few times. Super busy meat counter. read more

Hidden gem. We frequent the restaurant inside for takeout once a week. Really good tacos and excellent rice and beans. Their guac is always really fresh and they make their own tortilla chips (which are perfectly salted). The price is very reasonable. Always recommend to those looking for tacos in the Logan Square area! read more

This store is disgusting. In the summer, I bought asparagus and saw someone restocking, assuming this was fresh. I come home and see mold in the middle of the asparagus as I was prepping dinner. I figured this was my fault for not thoroughly inspecting before I bought it. No big deal. I also tried buying a half gallon of milk, but I noticed that all the milk displayed had dates on them with 2-3 days before the expiration date. A couple months go by and I bought a frozen Digiorno pizza for a quick and easy dinner. I'm not an avid frozen pizza eater, but this did not cook right. Before I put it in the oven, it just looked weird. Smashed almost, but I paid no mind to it being that it was frozen. It took forever to cook, and usually these pizzas have their dough rise. This did not happen, stayed flat and it just tasted like mushy and soggy cardboard. This was definitely thawed out at some point and placed back into their freezers. Basically, do yourself a favor and avoid shopping here. If they can't even store their frozen foods correctly, then I can't imagine what their meat counter is like. So grossed out. read more

I don't do the one-stop-for-everything convenience of Jewel, Domonicks, Trader Joe's, or Whole Foods. If I did, I'd be sacrificing either price or quality. Same goes for this Carniceria. I don't go here expecting to find my american condiments for a fair price, I come here for some cheap ass meat selection, cheap vegetables, and a whole lot of beans. I've been more than happy with my visits to this store. I was thrilled to find beef short ribs for such an amazingly low price. They also have goat meat and a whole pig's head, in case you want to try that recipe in The French Laundry Cookbook. I'm wavering between three and four stars, but will keep it at three only because they were out of most types of milk last sunday night. read more

fresh clean friendly market i look many store for verdolagas and i fined them here fresh meats and fresh produce i be back for more thanks read more

The store with the three names! So, I write three reviews. The place is dirty and kinda smells. I'll pick up canned goods and laundry detergent from time to time, but nothing else. Surprisingly, the beer selection is pretty good. read more

Great prices is a pro... However there are many cons to shopping here. My negative experiences here include.... -Buying cheese only to find that it was covered in mold once I had already arrived at home. -Very frequently will it be evident after buying frozen food that it's been fully thawed and then frozen again at some point either during transport or at the store. -Buying meat only to find a very nasty stench upon opening the packaging once I'm ready to begin cooking. You may wonder... Why do I still come here? Well it's directly across the street from me... And they're prices are crazy cheap. read more

I catered food for 2 events one for work on May 12th and one for my parents 50th wedding anniversary this Saturday May 29th from their restaurant. With the help of "Maria" who helped me with my food choices both events were very successful. Their food is high quality and all the guests were elated. The way the items were packaged it was so easy to set up for easy serving which was absolutely helpful. I go there frequent for my freshly squeezed morning juices and for their high quality food choices especially their meats. I am very picky when it comes to my food and they always find a way to accommodate me. I absolutely recommend this restaurant for any event or for a quick meal. A special thanks to "Maria" and the cooks for delivering such superb service with professionalism and the willingness to please. read more

This is the worst grocery store I have ever been to. I used to live near it but would rather go to the Red Star liquor store instead. Or stop by the Jewel off Division on my way home from work. The produce in there seems outdated and dirty. I don't even want to touch the meat. Somehow they even get the lowest end quality of the brand products and then over charge you for it, such as cereal. I also once got a mini Home Run Inn frozen pizza there for about $6 or $7 when desperate. You can find a pizza 5 times that size, and better, at an Aldi for the same price. The main things that I would get there are beer and Mexican Coke, and even then I would usually go over to Red Star for beer. read more

Here's the thing: I've lived in Logan Square just about the entire time I've been in Chicago, and before that grew up on the Mexican border, so I'm quite accustomed to latino-oriented grocery stores. Granted, this one bears striking similarities ( in terms of aesthetics and stock) to one I used to frequent in my hometown, but there are some real surprises on the shelves since the shift in ownership. 1. Decent beer selection. Seriously, not too shabby. They don't have an abundance of micro brews like Foremost, but there have been some unforeseen treats upon several visits. Flossmoor Station brown ale, really? Really? Who else has that in Logan? 2. Tahini. Ever have a desire to make some hummus and realize that there's virtually no where in your neck of woods where you can get some sesame paste? Sucks. Props for that. I don't think even Tony's even carries tahini. 3. Earth Balance vegan butter. I haven't been a vegetarian for some time, but when cooking, I often keep things vegan to accommodate friends or convince myself I'm health-conscious. Nice to have this option 4. Those Honest juice/tea things. Still not super low in terms of caloric-content I know, but it stops me from getting walking out with super-junky Mexican sodas I have such a soft spot for. 5. Tofu. Bottom-of-the-barrel-brand tofu, but at least they carry extra firm and it's fairly cheap. 6. Scotch Bonnets. Admittedly, their produce is pretty weak. Even when things are in season, they're of low quality and picked-over no matter when you go. As a pepper junkie, I've got to say that their pepper selection is overall none too impressive, but they randomly have scotch bonnets. Kinda neat. Nothing too spectacular as a whole, but it has its merits for sure... read more

This is my place to get my groceries, I usually visit here like 4 times a week, Store is clean and organized, but there is a huge deal when I try to get some meat, the guys meat services is poor, they usually keep busy by cutting and organizing behind the counter, and don't put much attention on checking out if there is people waiting for service, most of the times people is been waiting long time, even there's between 3 to 4 employees, but they just doing their shores then focus on what guests needs. read more

The market is great but the restaurant horrible Service waited 25 minutes for a barito worst barito I had in 30 years maybe all time almost no meat but what meat was there was cut very small to look like more and it was over cook crunchy.lots of lettuce .if your veggietarren you may like .but if you want meat brine your own.I Well never go back.95 percent went in the garbage ended up going to Wendys read more

People bitch about not having a grocery store in Logan Square, but they must not be looking too hard. Supermercado Tianguis is an actual urban-grocery-- you don't have to walk through a parking lot to get to it on foot-- a rarity in Chicago. Sure it's a little shabby inside, but you'll be hooked up with a huge bag of groceries for under twenty ducats. Sure the produce section doesn't have fresh basil, or cucumbers, or anything organic, but you'll get a chance to grab bunches of cilantro, 73 limes for a dollar, and bananas pequenas. They have a full butcher counter (we got an entire pork shoulder for $6), a pretty damn large beer section (lots of imported Mexican brews, but also the best price on Fat Tire in town), and 15 different types of fresh tortillas (if you get there at the right time they're still warm). Sure the staff is surly, the floors are grubby, and you can't get the selection of Jewel or the quality you get at Whole Foods, but actually that's kind of refreshing. WARNING: We bought meat from here that was repackaged to cover up an expired sell by date. It was absolutely rotten. And the manager refused to replace it because I didn't BRING THE ROTTEN MEAT BACK TO THE STORE. The fuck?! read more

Pretty large neighborhood Mexican market, near the Logan Square blue line. Nice meat counter, decent produce. Good selection of beer & liquor. Also a wide assortment of Latin soft drinks. read more

When I first went here the floor was all buckled, like there had been an earthquake...probably, poor foundation work. Then they cleaned the place up and it started getting better. Now, unfortunately, the quality has slipped again. Real expensive, and the pack the produce in ice. Also, generally lots of Milwaukee Ave loafers buying lottery tickets and booze here. Also, the checkout people are generally rude. Go to Tony's instead. read more

Nice Mexican grocery store with great prices on raw poultry. The restuarant inside the supermarket is one of my favorite places to get authentic tacos and burritos because of the easy free parking lot. read more

Love the grocery store but the restaurant could use some work. I've lived next to it for a year and the only thing that's been consistently good has been the chorizo and eggs . That is the only thing I will order from there anymore. Once, they served me a taco with three huge bones in it. I was so disgusted I couldn't eat meat for awhile after that. I ordered a burger to be safe and it was awful . Trust me only order the tamales or the chorizo and eggs. The rest is a gamble! read more

I've passed this place so many times and finally went this morning. I like to compare grocery prices and this place is a winner. Great selection of everything. The meat prices here seem cheaper than normal, need to look into that more. They had some samples of Mexican dishes when I was there; they had a mole sauce with chicken that people were eating like crazy, it was so good! After I got groceries, I stopped by the tacqueria restaurant which is attached. It was so busy. And so good! Burrito is $5 with avocado! Really can't find that anywhere else. It was very very good. My wife got a tostada and that was yummy too, love the bread. Can't wait to come back! read more

Neighborhood Latino-oriented grocery store with some items that the "newer" elements of the neighborhood have asked for, like soy margarine alternative, whole wheat pasta, and 1% milk. Now that Belmont Produce has closed indefinitely this is the standby for me and most Logan Square-ites who shop locally and on foot. Pretty good produce at good prices, and inexpensive meats as well. Please don't close like everyone else seems to be! read more

One of the very few places to find cubanfood such favorites like materva, yucca and spanish chorizos. and brands like la conchita ancel and La fe. i hope they keep them. in stock. read more

I went to the store today in a wonderful mood until I got to the meat section and I had asked the man in the meat department if he could cut the meat for me he had a terrible attitude I'm tired of being treated badly every time I go to that store I'm dissapointment of the service they give. read more

I'll stop by here after getting off the train to pick up some items for dinner. I do the bulk of my grocery shopping at larger stores, like Strack. I mostly stick to the meats at Tianguis, since they are much cheaper than most places. Tony's which is towards Central...wanted a good $1 more for the pollo para la parilla (seasoned chicken for grilling). Good eats at a very low price. A friend of mine drives a couple of miles to Tianguis just for their smoked pork chops. I personally find them salty. I do find it annoying that the steaks and pork are sliced super thin, which makes it hard to keep moist when cooking...but if I had a large family I would understand. Rice was also a bit cheaper here than at Tony'sl. Stay away from the freezer section. I can swear i saw a frozen pizza for $10. I do find that the check out people and butchers are very nice...which might be a language issue. Tianguis isn't very neat, nor does it offer a ton of variety....but its close and affordable for the most part. read more

Man this place is kind of dirty and just well sort of bad. Prices are high for most items, but that is to be expected. At least I can walk to it. But the meats are actually a good price, and its never made me sick so at least its got that going for it. If you have no car, and this is close enough to walk by... read more

This is a good store to get the basics from. You definitely won't be able to complete your full grocery list here but they are worth a stop in. The produce is considerably cheaper than those other guys down the street and beer selection is decent. I look forward to them bringing in more variety. Also try the taqueria, you will be pleasantly surprised. read more
