Cremeria La Ordena

This establishment offers exceptional carnitas, barbacoa, and other prepared foods complemented by outstanding customer service. Highly recommend a visit to experience their offerings.

I've never there before so I'm giving this place a 1 star, but I will be heading to the store to buy some Menenito cheese from Los Altos Mexico. Then I will give a better review if it's good as some people say!

Sells fake labubus! I asked lady if it was an original and she confirmed it was. I later open it and turns out it was fake. I asked for a refund and they wouldn’t give me one

Came here for some dairy products from behind the deli counter, when I got home 5 minutes later. I opened the pack & the cheese was bad, sour. Tasted like the cheese spent a whole day at room temperature before getting refrigerated. Besides this mishandling of food, service is good & cashiers are nice.

Best chorizo in the southwest side 💯💪🏻

Love the treats and Mexica Candy.

They have a good selection of Mexican foods that are hard to find like Chile pasado, and Mennonite cheese. They also have great selection of Mexican nut snacks at a decent price, and the quality is always good. The place is a bit small though, but they have a great variety of products.

They carry a small selection of cheeses but its a small place. Was very disappointed that the Mexican snacks lacked freshness and flavor. They should keep them in either smaller containers for u to grab or keep only alittle bit at a time cuz the seeds and garbanzos i had were super old. I love shopping local and at mom & pop stores so please improve so I can rave about this store.

Times are tough, we get that, but this place wants to rip you off. They charge way too much for watered down champurrado and so so tamales. The guy in front of me was charged almost double for a little thing of cream. It seemed like they just hoped he wouldn't notice. The quality of products is good but we won't be back after being overcharged like this.

Great selection of delicious food as well as traditional kitchen items! Cozy feel of home.

Great customer service and they have a great selection in Mole. A sweet lady that worked there, wish I would have caught her name, answered all my questions and even let me taste the diff. flavors of Mole. Place is well maintained, very clean which is a big plus for me. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some good Mole and Canela. Have fun shopping here!

I loved to come to this mexican grocery store. They carry many authentic goods from Mexico. I bought a bunch of candies for a reasonable price. I also got some sour cream(ranchera) and it tasted amazing. I got some dried sausage thinking it would taste the same as my grandmother in Mexico but I ended up throwing it away. The chorizo was of bland taste it tasted worse that the brand one I get once in awhile from another store. Also, when I asked the lady to give half lb of chorizo she looked at me funny and said "you should get a whole pound" so I did but regret it. Anyway they should work on the chorizo recipe. Otherwise it was a really nice store. I was amazed about the mole options. The mole is pretty good.

Brought a friend here from the South Suburbs after she asked me if I knew where 59th and Pulaski is at. She wanted to see this store that was featured on the show No Passport Required. As a favor to her we came here and it was a very nice surprise what we found here. It was like being in a Mercado straight out of Mexico. We spent a fun 45 minutes here! It was also a great way for me to brush up on my Spanish! We stocked up on authentic Mexican spices and cheese's. Great store! Great staff!

My spot for all Mexican dairy products. They have corn tamales (Chepos), Mexican sour cream, regular tamales, queso fresco, and they carry an array of delicious salsas.

Clean. Friendly staff with excellent service. Since I am so unfamiliar with many of the foods they let me sample and they were super helpful in answering questions.

Unexpected. So I was in the vicinity and wanted to check this place so I stopped and did. They have an unexpected assortment of things. They sell different kinds of cheese. But not just any kind of cheese they sell specialty cheese. Oaxaca cheese, cincho cheese, dry cheese and even Mex. Mennonite cheese and a few others that escaped the list. They also have sour cream and Salvadorian sour cream. You can also find in there some legumes, mostly beans. Small beans, large beans, white beans, they have them. Some of them I had never seen before. Cinnamon, don't forget the cinnamon. Along with nuts and almonds. Some sweets as well, like guayaba and membrillo (quince) ate. I bought guayaba and quince ate. The next morning made toast with cream cheese and ate and it was delicious. Service is nice, but not the super nice that I am used to. But they are nice. I asked about a dried fruit that I had never seen before and they offered a sample. I believe is is family owned and operated. The time that was working on the cheese counter, mom on the store and daughter the register, pretty cool. They carry unique ingredients

OMG!!! My hubby brought me today and I had no idea what was sold here... Needless to say, if you are looking for something from Mexico you need you may very well find it here! Food, Memories, Great Prices??? No need to search any further!!! I love it and I guarantee you will too. Such a clean welcoming atmosphere too and I love that they allowed us to sample before purchase.

If you believe in global crop diversity put your money where your mouth is and get on down to 59th and Pulaski! 20 years ago I lived two blocks from here, it was my first experience of daily shopping in a Mexican market. I fell in love with the products and the freshness as a whole. Now the bar has been raised, 7 freshly ground mole pastes straight from Mexico! All in a bowl right on the counter and you can sample them all. Amazing complexity you just don't find outside of Mexico. If you have never tasted raw mole paste it is a revelation in complexity and subtlety. While people think of chile's and chocolate, they tend to forget the myriad of nuts, seeds, spices and magic that goes into them. Not to be confused by the mass produced canned mole pastes. Although Teloapan is pretty good, these are incomparable. In another twist of authenticity are three versions of crema. One is a bit runny and a touch sweet, great for drizzling over quesadillas or nachos. The other end of the spectrum is a thick, slightly yellow salty crema, I brought some of this home and it was amazing swirled into some re-fried beans. The middle version was more what American pallets are used to. Seeds and beans! How bout 13 different pumpkin seeds? What for you ask? Mole's and pipian made at home. How else can you explain the complexity of one grandmothers mole to another? There are pepitas that are black, there are pepitas that are tiny, and some that are huge. Three different sesame seeds! I purchased some giant black beans (don't remember the name), after soaking overnight and cooking for a few hours I noticed an earthy familiar smell, more reminiscent of a pinto and as big as a fava. I pureed the big blacks and made some refried beans, they were amazing. There were 6 different beans I have never seen before, I bought a few more that I have not cooked yet. Three very fresh tasting cheeses all made from cows milk, the quesadilla cheese is like a string cheese with a really tangy cow milk freshness. The queso fresco is the freshest I have had in the city, dripping with milk we were offered tastes of all these. There are dried mango's with chile, far superior then the pre packaged types I am used to. It may seem a bit pricey to certain locals when comparing the mass produced items at Petes or the other markets, but not quite Whole Foods. There are still artificial flavors lurking around, the cremas are bound food starch, but as far as a diversified hispanic grain source, I don't think there is anything like it in the city.

Varieties of Moles Mexicanos, quesos, dulces any craving you have is almost fulfilled. The ladies were very nice and easy to talk to. They lets us try almost eveything before we bought any item. Impressed with the variety of moles and beans as well as the cheese. Couldn't help myself and bought 3 moles which tasted absolutely flavorful. I wouldn't have stopped by if it wasn't for a link that the Chicago Reader provided 2 days ago. I could see why the first comment about $$ was expressed. But when a store is trying harder to bring you authentic products by all means than yes I would pay the price. I asked lots of questions from what it is, how to prepare, and how much I need and everything was answered. One item I can't wait to try is the chapulines (crickets). We were told that we can garnish our micheladas with them, what can I say we were sold. I will come back once I run out of Mole.

This is the best grocery store i have been too in all chicago! They have anything you can ask for! And if they dont have what your looking for they could order some for you. If your always asking family to bring you stuff from mexico dont bother anymore THEY HAVE SO MANY STUFF BROUGHT JUST FROM MANY PARTS OF MEXICO! they dont only have cremas, quesos, deli, jamones, botanas, granos, icecream and salsas made by the owner,etc. but many diffrent things like cantaritos and tequila glasses and so much stuff you have to come and see for yourself. I cant say one bad thing about this place!
