“Walked past the 'Mango & Peach Ice Cream' poster and had to go in. This store is a whole vibe! As soon as you walk in, the pink walls and the 'Taste the World' energy just make you happy. Beyond the snacks (which are amazing), I was surprised by their plushie collection. They had the cutest Naruto and Pokemon plushies (spotted Kakashi and Pikachu!), plus a lot of Sanrio stuff like Hello Kitty and Keroppi. It’s not just a snack store; it’s a fun experience. I was not disappointed! This place is packed wall-to-wall with sweets. They have those peelable gummies and endless shelves of chocolates and candies. It’s perfect if you have a sweet tooth or want to try snacks from Asia and the Middle East. Such a fun addition to the mall!”
“Primos Grill is on a whole different level. Easily the best tacos I’ve had in Aurora. Just to be clear — this is not one of the other trucks with a similar name. This is the original Primos Food & Grill on Hill Ave in Aurora, IL. Fresh, flavorful, and always on point. Once you try it, you’ll know why they stand out.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I’ve been coming to Fiesta Food Mart in Aurora, IL for years, and I can confidently say this place is more than just a convenience store — it’s a part of the community’s story. In a city like Aurora, where neighborhoods are built on family, culture, and hard work, Fiesta Food Mart stands out as a small business that truly represents those values.
From what I’ve learned over the years, Fiesta Food Mart started as a small neighborhood shop focused on serving the local community with everyday essentials and authentic products you couldn’t always find at big chain stores. While major corporations were moving in with their generic layouts and corporate pricing, Fiesta Food Mart stayed true to its roots — family-owned, community-driven, and built on relationships. That’s rare nowadays.
Over time, they expanded their inventory based on what customers actually wanted. Instead of just stocking shelves with whatever was cheapest, they paid attention to the community — especially Aurora’s strong Hispanic population — and made sure to carry authentic snacks, drinks, ingredients, and specialty items that remind people of home. That kind of attention to culture and detail doesn’t happen by accident. It comes from owners who genuinely care.
The store itself is always clean, organized, and welcoming. Shelves are fully stocked, coolers are cold, and everything is easy to find. They carry a wide selection of snacks, beverages, grocery essentials, tobacco products, and convenience items — but what separates them is the variety. You’ll find items here that you won’t see in big box stores.
Customer service is another huge reason this place deserves 5 stars. The staff is always friendly, respectful, and helpful. They greet customers when you walk in, they know regulars by name, and they treat everyone like family. You can tell it’s not just a job to them — it’s their business, their reputation, and their pride.
What I also appreciate is how consistent they’ve been. Through economic ups and downs, changing neighborhoods, and rising prices everywhere, Fiesta Food Mart has stayed reliable. Prices are fair, and they work hard to keep things affordable for the community. That matters, especially in today’s economy.
It’s also worth mentioning how important small businesses like this are to Aurora. Stores like Fiesta Food Mart create local jobs, keep money circulating in the community, and provide a gathering place where neighbors see familiar faces. That’s something big corporate chains can’t replicate.
There’s history here — years of serving families, watching kids grow up, supporting local events, and being that go-to spot when you need something quick. Whether it’s late-night snack runs, grabbing drinks for a party, or picking up everyday essentials, this place has been dependable.
In a world where so many small shops disappear, Fiesta Food Mart has continued to grow and adapt while keeping its original spirit. That balance between tradition and progress is impressive.
If you’re in Aurora and haven’t stopped by, you’re missing out on one of the city’s underrated gems. Support local. Support family-owned businesses. Support places that actually care.
Fiesta Food Mart isn’t just a store — it’s part of Aurora’s story.
Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“This morning after filling up at the pump. I got a hot coffee,Who needs StarB..... coffee it's a waste of money.With the money I saved I was able to get a delicious donut.Chocolate covered are my favorite even though they all looked fresh and delicious. The donuts were displayed in a neat and clean manner. DD has nothing on these donuts. Ask for Linda if she's there she's always helpful.”
“I’ll tell you what, these people are the hardest working people I know (Walgreens Pharmacy specifically.) They are so busy during all business hours at this place, I don’t know how they have time to breathe. I have seen and heard so many rude, classless people yelling at them from their cars. It’s nauseating. They have worked out countless insurance issues for me and always are extremely helpful and professional. Give these people a break!!!!!!! Imagine a job that you’re always on your feet entire shift, and get rude people yelling and screaming like petulant children from their cars. Have some class and patience.”
“I love this location! All of the employees are kind and I look forward to stopping in. I wish all Thorntons were as customer friendly as the Farnsworth location.”

“We were throwing a surprise party for a beloved family member and needed a lot of pictures printed very quickly. We submitted the order online and was quoted a two-hour window during which our photos would be ready. We called the store and Jacob pushed the order through and had our prints in 10-minutes. Much appreciation to Jacob for helping us out in a bind.”

“It reminds me of the old store in my neighborhood when I was growing up. It's basically a first floor apartment in an old building converted into a neighborhood convenience store in the middle of a residential area. They have milk, eggs, candy, gum, ice cream, phone cards and just about anything you can think of.”

“Decent location. Looks a bit messy from a gas station perspective but the drive thru for McDonald’s is what we used. Service was fast and easy coming from the outlet mall.”
“Small but nice family owned place where I have gone for years. They are paranoid because many bad people try to back their car up, run in, steal liquor and then run out so they are always watching. I also got a weird vibe why they were watching me when I first went there until I found out why lol. I always try to support the family businesses vs grocery chain places etc.”
“I stopped by during my break after a long day at work, and Marco was extremely helpful. His professionalism and great attitude really stood out. He provided excellent customer service and made the experience smooth and pleasant. He definitely deserves a raise. Thank you for the great service!”
