I have always thought this store to be awesome. However there have been a few experiences that are starting to taint my view of this place. Around Halloween I noticed that they had a voodoo alter set up with a bunch of dead celebrities, and offerings to the dead. I didnt really know how to take it, but I just ignored it. But today I go in to buy some chicken and I am really taken a back, at the ignorance practiced by at least one cashier and one manager or owner... I expressed my concern over the use of windex around food, I mentioned that this was poisonous and it should not be used where food is. This complaint was ignored and I was not offered an apology... I had to walk away from this ,simply because I really felt more like I would say something I couldnt find my way back from... I mean who am I to complain when poisonous substances are being used around MY food... I mean its only something I have to eat... right... I will continue to shop here only because of the choices... however, once I find a place the has a much better choice this place will certainly be in my rear view mirror....

Lewis has a great produce section, with great prices. Some of the vegetables taste like theyve been dragged behind a truck through gravel, even after you wash them. They make up for these great prices by jacking-up the prices on just about everything else in the store. Many items in the dairy section are way overpriced in particular, not to mention frequently expired. The steaks from Mexico are terrible so dont be tempted by that. No marinating in the world will fix the shoe-leather texture. The staff are of absolutely no help, and will either pretend not to understand English, or send you on a wild goose chase. This is not the case with the female staff, who are typically very helpful and friendly, but the men are the exact opposite and Ive had years of experience with this. Dont dare use the bathrooms. To say they are gross is an understatement. Of course, if you dont need toilet paper or hand towels, you will be fine.

I purchased tamales since my usual place did not have any left. They were 1.50 each (I usually pay 9.00 dzn), a little expensive for me but I bought six anyway. They were the by far the worst tasting tamales I had ever had. I will never purchase tamales from them again. I called to speak with the manager and was on hold for a little over 5 minutes so I hung up and called again. I again asked to speak with a manger and was placed on hold again but not as long, a customer service person picked up the call but I wanted a manger. Tom then came on the phone and was very nice and understanding. He offered to make things right when I go back to the store, I dont think I will. This was my second time there since it opened.

I like coming here because they have almost everything Im looking for but the only issue I have coming here is if Im not with my husband and I come alone Im always getting harassed by the men in the meat section. Ive already complained about it and no one does anything to change that which is disgusting! I hate how women are being treated here and how no one does anything about it. I dont go in there to get attention either I go to get what I need and be done but I have to avoid that part of the store to save myself from feeling subjected to their actions that clearly the store feels no need to do anything about. They need better management.

Great grocery store. Reasonable prices on everything, awesome selection of ethnic produce and dry goods - both Mexican and Asian. Has some decent deals on take-out food as well - there is a little taco/burrito place at the entrance and a pre-made food counter in the back of the store that sells everything from rice (mexican, chinese, indian and more) to wings and ribs. Excellent values on produce and meat. Since this store caters to immigrants youll find some cuts of meats that are hard to find at your typical big box grocer: pork belly, liver (pork, beef and chicken), even whole pork heads.

DO NOT BUY PRE-PACKAGED CHICKEN from Lewis Produce from Grand Ave in Waukegan. .... Im so sickened by what they sell to us the CUSTOMERS. So disgusting. Went back for a refund and honestly to let the owner know hey there is chicken that is tainted. Only to have the owner insult my religion and insult my race. And had the police called on me and here is the best part.. he called the police and lied telling them I was intoxicated. That owner is just unreal. Doesnt he realize that we are what help him feed his family? The employees hate their job. Yet no one takes a stand?? Just so sad!

Mucha variedad de alimentos....aqui encuentras de todo. Los precios accesibles.. aunque si eres un buen comprador tendrías que comparar precios con otras tiendas......$50.00 leches,pan,tortillas,salsa,sodas,jamón, y más cosas... Una compra simple ,se me hizo algo justo.....

They have good selection of hispanic as well of greek produce, but most of the staff are very arrogant for the low paying job they have and this maybe why theyre not very helpful, but this is my own personal opinion and because I have a friend that used to work there thats why I have an idea of these people wages and the benefits theyre denied from this company , but back on the produce, they have a vast selection to choose from.

I went here last week and I was very disappointed after coming home. First off I realized that some of the stuff I bought was already expired from 2 days old to even A MONTH OLD! How often do they really check their stuff, it should have been removed! My experience shopping was awful, place was too crowded and had so many people who dont know anything about personal space. Never coming back, Im sticking to my local Walmart.

I love the diversity of choices in the ethnic food selections! You can travel around the globe culinary just by walking up and down aisles. Plus, the produce is fabulous. There are some good deals in the meat department too. However, I feel that the store and the bathrooms could benefit from a thorough scouring and cleaning. The stores cleanliness is not the best. The bathrooms need to be cleaned throughout the day.

I like the produce selection from this place. Prices are ok but not the best. The service sucks from the cashiers, not very attentive, machine like. However, at the taco/juice bar everyone is very attentive and helpful with the exception of 1 or 2 guys that attend there, every time I ask for specific things they completely mess my order but everyone else, never and issue. This place is very convenient from home.

Huge variety of in season produce and wide ethnic grocery items. I love it more every time I go . I have never experienced a rude or incompetent employee or expired or bad food. I been comming here weekly for over a year . These bad reviews must be from people having a bad day. Honestly this store is one of the things that makes living in Waukegan bearable .
