El Condor Mission

Our Mission

For 25 years, El Condor has been committed to bringing the taste of South America to customers’ homes.

We believe in providing genuine, quality care and attentiveness to every individual that steps into our lives.

El Condor Values

Our Values

Accomplishing more, together – we are all in this together. El Condor works together as a team to bring quality products to our customers, thus passing the goodness onto families & consumers alike. For when our community accomplishes, we succeed alongside them. We are one team.

Our story

El Condor began as an answer to a void that filled the Chicago Ecuadorian community. In 1996, El Condor, we opened as a Loqan Square family-owned store, looking to serve a community of Ecuadorian patrons. From there we began bringing the taste of Ecuador and Peru to all Hispanic communities as a wholesale specialty food distributor of South American goods.

Over time, El Condor has become a household name among Ecuadorian and Peruvian families and continues to provide specialty goods across the Midwest.

Our success is driven by our exemplary and timely customer services, extensive product line, and the continued closeness that our family-owned business brings to our patrons and customers.

Whether you’re missing home, craving the cuisine your family prepared, or longing for the specialty food you came to know in your visit to the Andes, you can be sure El Condor can help you satisfy your appetite.

What drives us

At El Condor, we believe the food you’ve come to love should be close, even when you’re far from home.

We feel food accomplishes so many wonderful things – it brings families and friends together, it re-surfaces memories, and exposes you to different cultures.

El Condor brings home the taste of South America as a Chicago Ecuadorian grocer and the Midwest’s largest Ecuadorian and Peruvian food distributor. We’ve worked over the last 25 years to help bring South American products to the Chicagoland and Midwest area.
