What happened to this place? The staff especially the cash wrap girls were much friendlier before. Today, all the cash wrap looked as if they hate their jobs, don't say thank you and just throw the receipt at the clients. The bakery ladies are lazy and didn't want to ring my baked goods and told me to go to the regular cash wrap. read more

The restaurant review - on the West side of the building which also houses the grocery, and bakery... Really simple, very casual, and a great value. The service was always friendly, clean, and generous. Even though I could order in Spanish, I don't necessarily look like I could, and was still treated to their best. Most of the other people dining order in Spanish. Everything I've tried was good, not from the microwave, fresh, and flavorful. I like the grilled chicken salad which is 2 portions, the enchiladas, the fresh pressed juice, and the steak. The grocery side includes a butcher shop, and it seemed like you could taste the difference in freshness. It's not like getting a prime strip at Bavette's - but for it's type, quite good. There's plenty of free off street parking. read more

I hate to say "it's alright" on my review. Why would you yelpers read my review if I didn't have anything else to say, or provide any insight on the things I saw? Well, this grocery store really is "alright" to the bone. In my opinion, there are too many Hispanic grocery stores in Albany Park, so the competition is definitively ON! The freshness of the produce items, from what I observed, wasn't nearly as superior as what Cermak Produce offers. On the other hand, the prices weren't fantastic, but they were within the average and acceptable to my purchasing standard. I usually don't purchase any butchered meat and poultry items, but their meat department looked clean and had more extensive selections than Chicago Produce located on two (2) blocks west. The same phenomenon applied on the seafood and hot-food departments. If I want fresh seafood, I would prefer to shop at Lindo Michoacan than at Chicago Produce or at Mayfair because that department has more visual appeal. Since I fix mostly vegetarian dishes at home, Chicago Produce is my preferred grocery store for veggies and fruit. In other words, traveling further in order to shop at Lindo Michoacan doesn't seem so necessary. Anyways, I wasn't too impressed overall. read more

Still a limited selection, and the prices aren't always clearly marked, but there have been improvements. For one thing, the whole place just seems a little bit cleaner and better organized, without the weird smell that I remember. Also, I tried the carnitas from the meat counter in the back of the store, and the meat was really tender and flavorful. read more

If I'm in the area, I always have to stop by and get some donuts or conchas. Their donuts are made fresh on the daily and they're DELICIOUS! The thing that sets off their donuts from other donut places is the icing they use. The icing is not your typical sugary flavored icing. The "white" icing as you can see in my picture is white chocolate, and the "chocolate" icing is legit milk chocolate. The donut itself is a fried delight that'll leave your taste buds wanting more. The conchas, a traditional Mexican bread roll, was delicious. Everytime I go here, I know their baked goods are always fresh. read more

This is a bit better than 18th St. I promise. I wish I could write something cool, like -"I wanna hop onto the steam table and bang the carnitas tray dude!" But, I have already done that and don't care to comment. 5 stars for possibly the best carnitas possible outside of Mexico, if you peer through the swinging doors you will see workers churning stainless pots of this pork confit over blazing fires...kinda looked like the hell scene in the Constantine movie. If you haven't done this yet, and aren't squeamish...pick the parts you want. I usually get a pound or two mixed, a little stomach, skin, ribs, and lean meat. Grab a pack of the homemade tortillas and find some green sauce. Go to the crib and chop everything up. Use tortillas to shovel both lbs. of meat into your face, drink the green sauce. Wake up from your coma,repeat. read more

Supermercado Lindo Michoacan - Carnitas so good, people be stealing em!!! - Grocery Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I went in tonight after dinner because I wanted to finally try a Concha. I have--for years-- seen them in bakeries and in bakery windows, but never quite got around to trying one. Today I was determined to change that. I went in and the staff was super nice explaining the flavors to me and how to go about getting them (unlike other markets, you have to place them in a tray using their tongs, give it to the attendant, and have them label the bag). I have to say using the tongs that have been used all day by any number of people was pretty gross. Each pair was caked with the remnants of everything and it picked up: donuts, croissants, cakes, etc. That cannot be sanitary. They get three stars because it was still pretty delicious. read more

I live right across the street so in terms of convenience they are great. Since I don't eat the traditional Mexican diet though I give it two stars. The only time I find this place useful is when I am getting ready to make salsa or want Coke that is product de Mexico and HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) free. Other than the occasional thing I need in a hurry I would rather go to Andy's Fruit Ranch or Harvestime Foods. Also, on the weekends this place is mega packed and the traffic on Lawrence doesn't help make this parking lot any less of a nightmare so if you are thinking about driving here don't, it is always hell. read more

I've had a couple bad experiences here dealing with the management when trying to get some food catered, and I know for a fact they were trying to jip me. But, it's a solid grocery store. The produce and bakery areas are good, but the butchers have been pretty consistently rude to me. The pre-made food is fine, predictable, and pretty cheap. It's fine, but Andy's fruit ranch down the street is just a much better option every time. read more

i go there to get my mexican gossip magazines and meats fresh not frozen produce are also fresh but the bakery is expensive $1 plus the swett bread bad actitud not polite at all always what is they problem ladyes? read more

Went to get carnitas this weekend after a bike ride. Went at around 2:30pm and the line was about 10 people ahead! They were quick though and I was in and out in under 15 minutes. Got a pound for $9. Made some tacos at home. Lindo's meat area is where it's at. I can't wait to take my sister from little village here!!! read more

Excellent produce at very reasonable prices. Great carnitas priced by the pound. Another plus- the self service pastry section- so many choices! Love this place! read more

This is a perfect small grocery store for those who want to make a quick and convenient grocery trip. Certainly there are a few items you can't find, but that's part of going to *any* small grocery store. If you need to choose from 36 different kinds of bread, go to Jewel or some other huge chain. I personally am happy to give up a ridiculously huge selection in favor of a cozy, friendly neighborhood spot where I can get all the basics I need and never have to wait in line for more than a couple minutes. read more

Simply put, this is your typical neighborhood supermercado. And if you've never been to a supermercado (seriously?), this is a good place to start. The first thing you see when you walk in is the produce section. Fairly priced, fresh produce with an emphasis on Mexican staples. I happen to love cooking with these ingredients, so yay for me! It also helps to be a little creative in the kitchen (translation: just because it's a supermercado doesn't mean you have to make Mexican food every night, duh). They have a bakery section with an array of pan dulce (like conchas) and bolillos. By the way, bolillos are fantastic for breakfast egg sandwiches. They're even better with chorizo, which you can also purchase here. I noticed that most of the customers had gravitated towards the prepared food section, which had several dishes already made and ready to eat. I noticed a couple stew-like dishes, Mexican rice, carnitas, and chicken. I'll make sure to try their prepared food next time, because everything looked very tasty. Other random notes on the place - they have an impressive glass-bottled soda selection. $1 Mexican Cokes, Fresca, Sidral Mundet (apple soda), Jarritos, Senorial (non-alcoholic sangria), and several other glass-bottled sodas. They also have 2 liter Coco Rico (coconut soda) and Inca Kola (Peruvian soda). I also loved their huge selection of fruit juices and nectars. I purchased a few cans of passion fruit juice, which is excellent in cocktails (passion fruit margaritas, anyone?) Yes, there are several other grocery stores in the area, but the more the merrier. And don't forget about their sister restaurant (aptly named Lindo Michoacan, of course) right next door. read more

I come here probably two times a week and I love it. It has great produce and an amazing variety of cheese, Canned goods, spices, etc. The roast chicken is the best grocery store chicken I've had in my LIFE and it comes with onions and jalapeños. Also amazing selection of store made salsas and hot sauces. This place has encouraged me to expand my cooking horizons, and it's a truly special neighborhood spot. read more

I don't usually review grocery stores but this store was awful. The parking lot was so full that I had to park on the street and pay $2.35 to meter park. The aisles are a joke, you can only fit one cart down the aisle at a time. The wait for meat from the butcher department was over 45 min long, not to mention the horrible stench of what smells like rotting milk while you wait your turn. Everything was overpriced from the milk to the meat and I had to lug 10 heavy bags to my car because you can't take the shopping cart out of the stores enclosed entry way. My 1st time here, was also my last. read more

Excellent red meat....skirt steak, arrachera, and they have oxtails and other things at great prices. Their fresh fish area is only so so.....the vegetables can sometimes be hit or miss, like wilted slightly....but root veggies, watermelon & fruits seem to be fresher. I shop here for red meats and they are always fresh, high turnover for the food because they are pretty busy with a line for the meat & fish department. They also make ready made Mexican food to go that looks hearty. Bakery on site with Mexican bakery goods & breads. Clean & fresh. read more

I -love- this place! Everyone is super friendly, the produce is fantastic, the meat is great, and the hot food in the deli is always a treat! I speak no spanish, so sometimes it is a bit awkward communicating, but they always sort it out with a smile. The chipotle cheese is my new crack addiction! The bakery is amazing - I had never been in a mexican grocery store/bakery prior to this one.. so the first time I go up to the baked goods I wait patiently for someone to help me, the woman from behind the counter comes out and is all smiles with the tray and helps me with my selection (with pointing and holding up fingers to indicate quanitity). To my embarassment, I tell my friend and landlord this story and she almost wets her pants laughing at me, apparently the bakery is self-service in getting your baked goods. So now whenever I see the woman who helped me I get embarassed, but she is always smiling (in fact all the ladies are smiling at me). It's a great place, check it out! Some stuff could be cheaper, but you will be hard pressed to find their prices at Jewel or Dominicks! read more

I like the store because it it just a block away from where I live. The butchers are always very pleasant and quite helpful - the cashiers are very friendly and polite. I do have to add that the food is quite pricey and do not come here in the weekends because the entire parking lot is full and you will be waiting in line FOREVER by the butchers' at the back of the store. It's crazy busy on Saturday and Sunday. Play it safe and come during the week for your shopping- The carnitas are definitely the bomb-diggity! read more

I often shop here for authentic Mexican food supplies but it is quite a drive for me.

I've visited quite a few carnicerías in my day and this one, for carnitas, takes the cake! Great flavor, consistency, and served to order.

This place depresses me. the lighting is awful. the product is stocked as if it was done in a hurry. the meat is ok but the shrimp I bought was awful. It seems almost everything has corn syrup in it. I really am gonna try to avoid this place as much as possible. counter service is ok though. read more

I love this supermarket because it has food similar from back home, Argentina. The food is fresh, and the meat as well. I love that they have a Carniceria and that the delivery is free! can you believe it! The people is super nice, I had a lot of stuff and I was calling my husband to pick me up,and one of the cashier heard me and she said hey we have free delivery, they call immediatly to Carlos and the truck was already up front. A gentleman help me with my stuff and they delliver my food and myself read more

Great selection of baked goods for very cheap. Everything is made daily. A great bakery!

This supermarket is a hidden gem. I had my daughters baptism food catered here . The food was absolutely phenomenal . Everyone raved about the food. I ordered carnitas,fajitas de carne asada y chicken,frijoles charraos and rice. I recommend this place and so do my 80 guest. read more

A hidden treasure for me. I live in east lake view area and "all" the grocery stores have a poor selection of oxtails Yes, I said ox tails! They used to be very inexpensive and now they are a gourmet food. I make a great oxtail soup and was in dire straits for the main ingredient. I have gone by Supermercado Lindo Michoacan many times. After going to the regular places and coming out empty handed I went to Supermercado Lindo Michoacan. Very busy, well stocked with oxtails (beautiful and very fresh) plus $2.00/ # less then the other supermarkets. I will be going back to this market for meat and vegetables, cheaper and the butchers were great. Step out of your element, stretch your boundaries this was a great experience. read more

One of the best places to get Mexican grocery's and carne would definitely come back only thing is parking is tight and wish they would extend or have more parking. read more

There are so many supermercados in this area that it's hard to choose. I only go here for their homemade white corn tortillas - YUMMY! At less then a $1 for 20+ quality tortillas, you really can't go wrong! read more

I wish I could give this joke of a grocery store zero stars. I was excited to have more than one grocery store within walking distance when I signed my lease in Albany Park for July 1 move in. However, I will never shop at this grocery store ever again. On July 17 I had done some shopping at Andy's across the street but they didn't have guacamole so I decided to check Michoacan before heading home. I get into the store and do a quick lap around but didn't see any guac so I start to leave. As I am trying to walk out there is a man waiting for me at the door demanding I let him search my bag. I know this is bordering on illegal but I also know I didn't do anything wrong and I don't want to cause a scene so I just let him search my bag. He's like we sell these here (tortilla chips) so I told him I bought it from Andy's then he demands to see a receipt. Thank God I had kept the receipt or I would have been in the back of a squad car. So after him and his associate check everything on my receipt matches what was in my bag he starts trying to apologize but it's too late. I yanked my bag back from him and left. Fucking ridiculous customer service. They treat a normal looking customer in my work clothes like a criminal. They will never see another dime.of my hard earned money as long as I live. read more

This place has the best carnitas in Chicago! I've been coming here for years and the quality has never changed. I always buy two pounds con masisa, cuerito, buche, y tripita pero nada de costillas oh and don't forget la salsa and a pack of tortillas. They also sell hot foods such as chicken, rice, barbacoa, chicharron and much more. On weekends, do yourself a favor and avoid parking in the lot and instead park on the street you will be glad you did :-) read more

The day before thanksgiving this store booted my husband (charging him $200) despite the fact that he was 10 feet from his car (helping a person who car had died) and I had shopped there minutes before. We live three blocks from this store and use to visit there very often - the owner did nothing when we explained our situation. To make matter worse, today on my walk to the next nearest grocery store, I had to pass Lindo Michoacan - THEY DID NOT SHOVEL THEIR SIDEWALKS!! So they can charge us, and we have to comply with the city ordinance but they are free to possess our property and not follow city rules!!! Seriously - go the extra distance to Andy's or Harvest time where they value their customers. read more

The manager is incredible rude, unprofessional and uneducated. I entered with my medical service dog, and was accosted by the store manager who refused to give me her name or her superior's name. When I pointed out my service dog's vest and attempted to explain what the federal Americans with Disabilities Act was, she attempted to argue with me further. She was incredibly insensitive and combative. To be harassed in this way, as a person with a disability, is unacceptable. I'm filing a formal complaint with the city and the Better Business Bureau. Do not spend your money here. read more

Wanted to make authentic tamales. We went to Lindo and asked one of the check girls for help. The owner came out with one of his nephews. He help us pick out all we would need to make the tamales. The laid out the process for us. The came out great, but that is another story. The kicker is the food counter in the back. The array of prepared foods, carnitas, barbacoa, the roasted chicken especially had great flavor. The sides of beans, rice and salsas, also excellent taste. We packed up lunch for 4. So much food for so little money. If you want a mexican feast for your home this one stop shop will make your gathering a memorable occasion. read more

i like this store a lot they have a lot of mexacan food here very good you can always find some thing to buy here read more

Food is really good, price are fairly. But one thing I and my friends really hate every time we go there is when we pay our bill with credit card they alway ask us if they can put the tips on the credit card.tips are if we happy with service . We always satisfied with the service and food. And we always tip cash. Stop asking for tips on credit card let me choose how much,when and if I want to leave tips. All in all good food, good service but lousy way to ask for tips read more
