First Choice Market is a convenient, family-owned local store that offers a variety of fresh products and a friendly atmosphere. Customers appreciate the fresh elote and aqua frescas, as well as the market-style butcher section with hard-to-find items like turkey chops. The store is known for its low prices on meats, fruits, and vegetables, and features weekly sales, making it a good choice for budget-conscious shoppers. They also make their candy daily in their own candy factory located in East Chicago, providing fresh treats that are popular in Chicago and Indiana. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, often treating customers like family. Although some prices are higher than other places, overall the store provides good service and a pleasant shopping experience. An inside Mexican restaurant adds to its appeal.

I bought some spices they were affordable and I like the flavors of all the spices I bought. I look forward to trying other things from this store the next time I go out.
