Ok - Edit
I guess I didn't realize that you had to ask for a separate vegan menu. When I had to veganize a nonvegan choice, you would think they would have offered it?
Read moreI was disappointed.
The rest of my party, nonvegan, loved it.

Excellent vegan menu, made mistakes - Edit
The vegan menu was fantastic. The meal that I got - A Al Mexicana with Chorizo, beans, and rice - was one of the best Mexican meals that I have ever had. I also asked them to make their Pink Paloma spicy for me and they nailed it.
Read moreDespite ordering from their vegan menu they unfortunately made a couple mistakes bringing me a non-vegan side sauce with my fried yucca and cheese on the beans. They fixed them both quickly but be aware that just because you're ordering off the vegan menu, it doesn't mean you can let your guard down. That being said they had just opened after hurricane Helene and maybe this isn't typical.

Great vegan Mexican fare! - Edit
We found this place on the Happy Cow app and were happy we did. It was close to what we were and where we needed to go and has a lot of gluten free and vegan options. The menu is really well labeled with gluten free options. But you'll need to ask for the vegan menu if you want the designated dishes. Most of the menu items on the vegan menu are also gluten free, so the was immensely helpful.
Read moreWe decided to split the Enfijoladas with the fried yucca and grilled veggies as our two sides. My husband got a beer and I got tyke skinny margarita. Everything was delicious and extremely filling. We were so glad the we didn't split 2 dishes because we couldn't have done it.
The location is a bit odd, as it's in a strip mall. But the staff and food were phenomenal, as was the atmosphere. So don't let that fool you. If you're in the area and looking for some good vegan Mexican fare, they are definitely worth checking out!
Pros: Lots of vegan choices, Very helpful staff, Good prices

Amazing vegan menu! - Edit
I had such a great vegan meal at La Rumba! I really appreciated the vegan street corn as a free appetizer! The portion sizes were huge and food was delicious. My only recommendation for them would be to put a note on the regular menu that there is a vegan menu available upon request. If I didn’t know about the vegan menu from this site, I would have had to ask a lot of questions about ingredients and modifications. But overall amazing experience, phenomenal service, and really tasty food! I’ll be back I’m sure.

Delicious vegan Mexican food - Edit
They had very clearly marked vegan options in the vegan section of the menu. The enfrijoladas with chimichurri potatoes were delicious, and they included an extra vegan elote for free with our pickup order.

Omg so gooooood - Edit
They have the most delicious mole, and have so many great vegetarian options (meat substitutes, vegan chorizo, etc). I’ve been really impressed with their food, and the spicy margaritas are incredible and have a kick! 🌶️

Great food - Edit
They have an all vegan menu just have to ask for it. So many great vegan dishes and they very good options for sides. The tostadas with veggies and plantains is my favorite. This place is a crowd pleaser.

vegan elotes! - Edit
after 15 years in Chicago, my standards for Mexican food are high. this Mexican food checks out—i met an owner who said their family is from Veracruz. they surprised me with a vegan elote, my first elote ever, and it was so good!! i also had the Mexican Street Tacos from their dedicated vegan menu (they also have another separate vegetarian menu), which come standard as one each of veggies, potatoes, and vegan chorizo, served with refried black beans—the veggie one was not so much my thing though the flavor was good, but the other two were fire. the plantains and yuca frita were excellent. this place is a hidden gem thats nice inside with a full bar, and you can tell a lot of love goes into it. will definitely be back!

Really good Mexican food - Edit
A rather large vegan menu (just ask the server for it). We got the Chef Mike’s Sampler plate and the vegan burrito; both were really tasty. Service is very fast and friendly too. Definitely enjoyed our meal.

Vegan menu - Edit
Love to have a dedicated menu, makes things so much simpler. Not having to ask a million questions about food prep and ingredients makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Had the Chef sampler and it was all very good. Omnivore family also enjoyed their food here.

Awesome food and great staff, unfortunately due to not being fully vegan HappyCow won’t let me give 5 starts, but I would if I could - Edit
We tried almost everything on the vegan menu and absolutely everything was delicious. I love that they offer separate menus for vegans, vegetarians, and the regular menu. They also offer gluten free options. They bring out complimentary street corn to the table, which is very good.
