Is this the best Bodega Deli in Chicago? Maybe... The sandwiche was solid, prices all reasonable, and they have what seems to be everything in stock. All of the groceries were top tier. Meat looked good, vegetables fresh, and all sorts of multi ethic treats. HUGE selection of drinks too.

Nice staff, fast service, good variety of product, amazing made-to-order sandwiches. Well worth my time and money.

The Italian beef sandwich was amazing. Massive, had spicy Giardiniera, melted provolone. Definitely a multiple napkin meal and washing your hands after
