Rich's Deli
Neighborhood: Ukrainian Village

875 N Western Ave
Chicago, IL 60622

La Guadalupana Mini Mart
Neighborhood: Brighton Park

4637 S Archer Ave
Chicago, IL 60632

Azulina N. writes: One of the rare cases when you should believe the hype. La Guadalupana makes the best tamales in Chicago, hands down. You can pick their tamales up at other locations throughout the city, and their masa is available in every Mexican grocery store,…

Neighborhood: Bucktown

2200 West Armitage
Chicago, IL 60647

2752 W Lawrence Ave
Chicago, IL 60625

Always Open
Neighborhood: Wicker Park

1704 N Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, IL 60647

Douchee D. writes: Always expensive and not always open? A gallon of milk is $4.59. Their ice cream selection is usually limited, or is overly depleted by the time I get there. I'm not saying it's pricier than let say 7-11, but I always feel as though the clerk should…

Food Smart
Neighborhood: Logan Square

2901 W Armitage Ave
Chicago, IL 60647

Sure, the other…

Evergreen Market
Neighborhood: Wicker Park

1339 N Damen Ave
Chicago, IL 60622

Laura R. writes: Basically your standard bodega. A few things worth noting:
-I like their coffee. I am their worst customer ever because I actually count out 86 cents for a cup of coffee and don't bring any other money with me so I won't be tempted to buy junk food…

7-Eleven
Neighborhood: Wicker Park

1400 N Milwaukee Ave
Chicago, IL 60622

Sara B. writes: I don't go to convenience stores much anymore. In Tempe, AZ, they're just not all that convenient -- after all, when you're in your car, you might as well stop at a real store. And if you're not in your car, well, you might as well not exist. But…

Devon Citgo
Neighborhood: Edgewater

1500 W Devon Ave
Chicago, IL 60660

Michelle O. writes: As far as gas stations in the immediate area, I like this one the best. It's nothing special - but it's better than the Shell at Devon and Clark (which always has a flooded parking lot) and the pumps always work. They have a car wash, an ATM and the…

Family Pantry

3534 Lake Ave
Wilmette, IL 60091

7 Eleven
Neighborhood: University Village

1350 S. Halsted Street
Chicago, IL 60607

New York Pantry

313 Touhy Avenue
Lincolnwood, IL 60712

Song Do Market

286 E Golf Rd
Arlington Heights, IL 60005

Gateway Newstand
Neighborhood: The Loop

114 S Dearborn Pl
Chicago, IL 60603

Joe's Food & Liquors
Neighborhood: Albany Park

3626 W. Lawrence Ave
IL 60625
