This is a neighborhood-sized grocery store. There are better and bigger Cermak Produce locations in the city, so I don’t recommend you to make a point coming here if you don’t live in or near Hermosa. Nevertheless, you can still find quality fresh produce regardless. I personally don’t suggest shopping there on Tuesday evenings. The new promotion starts on Wednesday, so whatever was left may not be as fresh as what they had at the beginning of the about-to-go-away promo. Yes, I used some retail jargon and I’ve been conditioned to say that since I manage a retail business at the mall. Whatever I said on the previous paragraph may just be my mere observation. It may not be absolutely true, but it doesn’t hurt to share my opinion with all of you since it’s what Unilocal is supposed to be used for. We purchased a dozen medium eggs($ 1.79 since there weren’t any large or jumbo eggs left), pears($ 0.79/lb; $ 2.16), green seedless grapes($ 0.89/lb; $ 1.39…great price), tomatoes($ 0.79/lb; $ 1.88), cucumbers(3 for $ 1), and apples($ 0.79/lb; $ 4.23). The total after tax was $ 13.74. I’m not eager to go back to this location, but Cermak Produce is always one of my recommended grocery stores in the city.

My favorite Spanish grocery store in this area, hands down. I believe the owners are Greek and they definitely know how to run a business. Typically when I walk into a Spanish food store the first thing to hit me is the stench of the butcher department. The last thing I wanna smell while shopping for fruit is rooting pig flesh and no matter what Spanish market I go to I always hate the smell. NOT this Cermak Produce. This is the cleanest grocery store in the neighborhood with some of the freshest fruits and veggies you will find. Th prices here are a bit higher in comparison to other Spanish Markets in the neighborhood, but the quality of the meat and produce and the cleanliness of this grocery establishment makes the price totally worth it. Very often I go to the butcher department and I see them removing all the meat and sanitizing the display case. I was very pleased to see that because I had never seen it done and it made me feel like the food I was about to purchase and cook will be safe for me to serve my family. I am a BIGFAN of clean establishments and especially when it comes to food its a make or break for me. I will always only shop at this Spanish Grocer as long as I live in the Hermosa or Logan Square neighborhood.

This store has a wide selection of veggies and fruits, and a great meat counter. Specializes in hispanic grocery products. I usually get their specials — good prices on meats, sometimes on eggs, too.
