Illinois is a big place. Any particular region in Illinois you're looking? |

Well there's two rather modest Cuban grocery stores here, both of which are probably better known throughout the broader community for their restaurants in back than for their actual grocery selection. They are La Unica in Edgewater and Tropi Cuba in Logan Square. That said, La Unica is a bit "pan-Latin" but its primary focus is on Cuban fare. |
