Super Mercados El Güero cermak

Pay attention to the cash register when you're checking out. I got overcharged and I told the lady. She fought me on the price and she insisted I was wrong. The tomatoes were .99 cents per pound. She kept insisting they were a $1.89 because their heirloom. They were not heirlooms. I told her that I am positive I'm correct. She ended up sending somebody to go check. The other person was like It wasn't the price, but then I went myself and picked up the sign and the tomato and I showed it to both ladies. Neither lady apologize after making the line weight, make me wait, and have to waste my valuable time to go prove it to them that I was right. That wasn't the only thing that was rung up and incorrectly. I looked at both of them and waited for them to apologize. They just stared at me like deer in headlights. I asked them, "don't you owe me an apology? Neither one offered it. I'm not going there again.

Great place to shop for groceries. This store has been around for a very long time. I also saw El Güero drive off on his motorcycle. #gonewiththewind

Only packaged food and the bolillos are fresh. Almost everytime I have bought veggies, fruit, or meat, it has either gone bad within the day or is already bad. This has happened on too many occasions.

The meat here is usually good quality and the better price in many other stores.

For me is the best super market they have good offers

My old grocery was white person old business old place old grew neighbors then Mexican person own current business too old cool current grocery.

This is a Mexican grocery store conveniently within walking distance from the Pink line station and it has its own parking lot. I got a lot of food and items that I liked! My favorite was the coconut flavor flans and I haven't seen them at other stores. Also got a 1/4 papaya at a reasonable price. Fresh and yummy! Would definitely revisit this place.
