Luciano's Grocery Store
Luciano’s Grocery Store is a beloved Pilsen staple, conveniently located by the 18th Street Pink Line and open 365 days a year. Regulars praise its clean, renovated shop, friendly staff, homemade tortas, menudo, cecina, fresh tortillas, standout verde salsa, and tempting avocado basket, plus its community history and essentials. While selection and prices impress, check produce and packaged items carefully, as some reviews report freshness and customer-service issues.

“A staple Mexican grocery store in the Pilsen neighborhood. They have a wide selection of produce, canned goods, and snacks! I was also pleasantly surprised that they sold homemade tortas at the register. I was able to find everything I needed.”
“This store has horrible customer service. I recent bought a package muffin and saw that it was starting to mold and tried to call the store to let them know and they acted like they didn’t care.”
“I love this store it’s very clean and organized. They have great customer service. I would highly recommend coming to this store. 10 out 10 would recommend as an amazing experience to grocery shopping. Since I don’t really get that in other stores.🙂”
“El menudo,cecina y los aguacates siempre al punto riquísimos y aquí siempre encuentras tortillas:)”
“Es una tienda con personas muy amables me da mucho gusto que la hayan vuelto a abrir pilson necesita más tiendas como Lucianos”
“I should be glad that I had went to this store before it was closed but for a long time I was glad I met people there who were nice.”
“this shop is already super convenient being right outside the 18th st pink line. but more than just that, they have good prices, warm and courteous staff, and a solid selection of essentials and more. the deli has good product in the case. their verde salsa is a winner. they have tortas and a decent selection of beer. tbh though, check out those avocado when you check out - they ALWAYS have an amazing basket of avocados that get me to buy one when I didn't even intend to.”
“I love the store and the history in that community about that store. EXCELLENT SERVICE!”
