Fantastic Mexican meals - Edit
So tasty! Generous portions. The torta vegetariano was priced so cheaply I figured it would just be a sandwich but it was a full breakfast including fresh melon big slices of cucumber on the side, a scrumptious pile of homefries, and some very serious habanero sauce. I plan on hitting this every time I fly thru Midway.

Good, but Not Amazing - Edit
I heard about their vegan options and decided to try them. I thought the food was pretty good, but not amazing.
Read moreTorta Cubana Vegana (when ordered sans mayo, eggs, or tomatoes) - it was a good sandwich but would've been so much better with vegan; it was dry without it. Vegan mayo is sold pretty much everywhere, so there's really no excuse not to have it as an option when you market and sell vegan sandwiches.
Tacos - I tried the soya pastor (no sour cream, no tomatoes) and the soya asada. They were both ok. Nothing that stood out with regards to flavors. They do give you a lot of vegan protein; they aren't skimpy at all with the portion.
The horchata was good.

Deserves 5 stars - Edit
I can only give them 4 out of 5 due to happy cow restrictions, but this place deserves a 5. They have good, cheap vegan food (ask them to take out the cream or cheese for the soy tortas and tacos). Their torta de soya asada tastes really good.

Local and authentic vegan - Edit
A south side original. The tacos de soya al pastor are my favorite, but the others are always delicious as well. The staff is decent, and on weekends it’s usually pretty packed.
Read moreThere’s also a drive thru, which may be convenient for some.
Pros: Vegan tacos de soya!, A southside gem w/ drive thru , Tacos are packed w/ a lot of soya
Cons: They use a lot of single use plastic

Great food - Edit
There are lots of options here. This is the of the only places I've been that has a variety of fake taco meats. Even if you opt for avocado tacos, they are very generous with the avocado. Quick service, great prices.

Delicious Authentic Mexican Cuisine - Edit
In general, I did not find Chicago to be an extremely vegetarian friendly city so I was very happy to find this restaurant very close to the airport during my trip to Chicago. I really love Mexican food and this place did not disappoint. The setting is very simple (plastic plates and forks) but the food is very affordable and extremely tasty. The restaurant serves vegetarian and non vegetarian options so it is a good place for a group with mixed dietary preferences. There is an entire page of the menu dedicated to vegetarian/Vegan options. They serve various soy meat substitute products such as steak, chicken, chorizo and Soya Pastor. They also serve cactus. I tried various options and found everything to be absolutely delicious! I highly recommend a trip to this restaurant if you happen to be near midway airport in Chicago.

amazing chicken substitute - Edit
I had to double check with the waitress if she had gotten my order right. The chicken tasted too real!!! It was extremely delicious and affordable too.
