Grocery Stores
“Grew up in Blue Island in 1962. Always a stop when I visit Blue Island alot in past if I come to town for church Sundays from Highland.Indiana. Lost a deli little grocery store here in Highland. Indiana. This is a small like grocery store very clean love hot foods and the deli counter in the back has outstanding sandwiches to order from a very friendly young man from the south part of United States. He's only in his late 30 maybe early 40s looks very young slim. Family here at Danny's very friendly always buy beer here.Come over always weekday to take Metra downtown Chicago. Stopped coming to Blue Island more and more when covid started in 2020.I have since hardly if at all come back stopped going on train to Chicago in 2020. Family his other employees joke laugh with me like family here like this. Sometimes rarely everyone serious here but the little store very nice, nestled in a eastside neighborhood. Miss seeing alot Metra railroad workers come talk them waiting sandwich about trains, people relative I knew worked Metra and I bring up politics with them the problems of Chicago. Dan Native. Blue Island Highland Indiana.”
“This is my go-to spot for Mexican food in the neighborhood. It's also a local family owned corner store. Small section of produce, goods to stock the pantry, and specialty items.
The owner/cook maintains staples available, but rotates the main dishes consistently, so it's fun seeing what you get, especially when it's all delicious.
Authentic, hefty portions, great seasoning,”
“The owner Mike is the best. Very friendly and welcoming, we use to live across the street and now stop by when we are around the area. Has everything you could possibly want.”
“El Gallo Supermarket is a treasure trove of fresh, unique produce and high-quality meats from their exceptional butcher shop. The variety of products invite culinary creativity, while the staff, always friendly and helpful, enhances the shopping experience. Despite not having an in-house taquería, El Gallo shines, focusing on providing top-tier ingredients for home cooking. It's more than a store, it's a lively, authentic taste of Mexico right in our city.”
“Amazing customer service, the owner always takes care of me. This multipurpose store has all of your needs from groceries, snacks, masks, drinks, pet food, and much more!”
“You have to try the El Pastore pizza! Marinated pork, pineapple, onions, cilantro. Oh my gosh, it is SO GOOD! You won’t be sorry. We order it every other week, as a treat.”
“This is a full service neighborhood grocery. There is also a lunch counter inside (tacos etc). There are several Mexican specialty items here as well. Full meat and deli counter as well.This is a neighborhood cornerstone. Whether you need ground beef for dinner or a quick lunch, this is your place.”
“Authentic Mexican food and ready made items—great spot for a quick lunch or to get some ingredients that you can’t get other places
Prices are good, staff are not necessarily the friendliest but they’re fairly kind overall”
“This is a good corner store. I’m not from blue island nor do I live in it but whenever I go in, I always get treated respectfully. The owner has his mask on when I’m there and gets me in and out. I always buy their blunts and vapes for my gf. It’s always fresh and doesn’t taste old or expired like how some corner stores be. People wrote reviews complaining about food that they really should be getting at a GROCERY STORE, and not a corner store, but hey to each their own. Don’t give bad reviews based off of that. This place is actually one of the best corner stores in blue island.”
“Aldi is a great place to shop they have so many items to choose from at great prices. Aldi fruits and veggies are very good. Also the Employee's are very polite, helpful and friendly ?”
