Supermercados El Güero — Local services in Aurora Township

I wanted to buy a cake to take my family’s Christmas get together. I was recommend a cake by the cashier at the bakery department. As I was walking to the register, something told me to check the expiration date. When I did I realized the cake had expired a week ago! I informed the cashier who recommended me the cake and she responded by saying( in Spanish) , “oh! Well it’s up to you if you want to buy it. Obviously it’s expired but it’s up to you if you want to take that risk or not.” Needless to say I did not buy the cake. Kindly told the cashier thank you but I was going to pass on buying it. I was shocked that a worker that handles food would suggest such a thing to a customer versus just taking the cake. To make matters worse she put the cake back in the display to sell to someone else!

I decided to check what other options were in the backery. I found some bundt cakes in the milk/yogurt area. Checked the expiration date and all the cakes were missing a date but did have a sticky residue to were a sticker might be. Why is a grocery store not only selling expired food but worst of all why are they telling their customers “they can buy it but it’s a risk you have to take!”

Sadly, when I shared with my family my experience they weren’t surprised saying that they have heard of people they know sharing similar experiences with encountering expired...

Gerald and I decided to try out a different El Guero near our area and came across this Aurora, Illinois location. This store was huge! It was our first visit to Super Mercados El Guero, and it was an incredible experience!

When you walk through their entrance there’s fliers for the upcoming events with different bands that are playing in the area.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a vibrant, authentic Mexican 🇲🇽 atmosphere. The aisles were fully packed, making it easy to find everything we needed, from a wide selection of meats, fish, cheeses, and sour cream to decor, candles, and freshly baked goods.

Our beautiful and friendly cashier Daniela A shared that the store truly embodies Mexican culture, and we couldn't agree more. The warm and welcoming vibe made our shopping trip not just convenient but memorable.

If you're in Aurora, Illinois, and looking for an authentic experience with an extensive variety of products, El Guero is a must-visit! Highly recommend! 🌶️🛒

I drove 15 miles just to get the best prices Super Mercados El Güero advertises on tv especially in meat since it got expensive because of the pandemic. In fact, they have the best prices. But, unfortunately I regret driving that many miles just to realize that you get what you pay for. I spent 225 dollars in groceries mainly meat. Once I arrived home and cook 3 pounds of their skirt steak I almost break my jaw trying to chew it; That wasn’t skirt steak that was more like brisket. I was ashamed in front of my family just because I trusted the quality of meat that Super Mercados El Güero offers. Im very disappointed and it is so sad that they take advantage of the difficult time we are living because of the pandemic, advertising good prices for low quality product. So far i can only speak for their meats since I haven’t been able to try the rest of their groceries but I won’t be surprised if I don’t like them. I Sincerely hope that this review might...
