Central Park Produce

First, I want to say I will go out of my way to support the business of mi gente, (my people) so I love shopping here, When ever I need ingredients for my Puerto Rican dishes, this is hands down the place I go. They always have good prices and always, always fresh produce. I am so excited they are moving right across the street from this location to a bigger store with a huge parking area. ( my only issue was parking), since they are one of the most popular and actually one of the only Puerto Rican ma, pop stores left it is always really hard to find parking spot but that will end soon. I look forward to continuing to support them.

I have been coming here since I was a kid with my mom and now as an adult myself, I get all my condiments and meat. Is a great place.

It is quite a drive, with these gas prices, to go to this place. However, they usually have the exact items I need without having to drive even farther to the North Side. The butcher staff are always happy to serve and give you exactly what you asked for with a smile. My only issue with this place is the precarious parking situation, which along with the high curbs that can easily damage the undercarriage of the tallest SUV, make me sometimes shy away from making the pilgrimage to this neighborhood gem. Luckily, the store will soon move directly across the street to a former Jewel Osco store which has a large, paved, parking lot. It means the store will be a lot bigger, have more elbow room and be able to offer even more Hispanic and Afro-Caribbean food items. I cannot wait to experience the new, more spacious set up!
