A-maize-ing!!!! - Edit
So many options! Homemade chips and salsas. And for our meals, we had the vegan chimichanga, vegan floutas, vegetable tamales, and (dairy) quesadilla. All were so good.
Read moreUnfortunately, they were out of the vegan Just Egg, their homemade horchata, and their vegan empanadas. Bummed because we couldn’t try any breakfast items.
Our meat-eating family enjoyed their meals, too.
Pros: LOTS of options , Homemade , Great service
Cons: Out of stock of ingredients for many items

You have to eat here!!! - Edit
WOW! What an amazing menu with so many vegan options to choose from! I got the vegan horchata, and it was everything I needed. Then, the vegan chimichanga with fries. Good thing I was really hungry, because that was a lot of food and I ate all of it! Check this place out! Great service too!

Many vegan options - Edit
I've ordered to go and delivery and all times were good service. Vegan options include tacos, burritos, bunuelos, tamales, and empanadas. Only thing I didn't like were their fries.

Excellent food and awesome service - Edit
The entire menu is vegan and amazing choices. We ate it so fast and I forgot to take photos but we will definitely be back. Generous portions, plenty to take home for another meal. The owner was friendly and checked to make sure everything was good.
Read moreI had his recommendation of the Jibarito and my husband had the fajitas. We also had guacamole and chips. And for dessert the sweet strawberry tamales which were so good with a hint of guava. Highly recommended.
To be honest, I was a little nervous coming, because previous reviews had said how loud the music was. Did not find it too loud at all, and we were sitting right by the speakers. 
Pros: Extensive fully vegan menu, Friendly staff, Value forValue for Money
Cons: Chips maybe a tad salty

Swell! - Edit
Great option in the six flags/gurnee area. Large menu, delightfully friendly staff and good food.
Read moreI second guessed my order about 10 times as I stared at the menu while waiting for food. Breakfast served 10-4 and it looked great.
The vegan jibsarito was fun (and gf with plantains serving as the “bread”).
The music was too loud and almost considered giving -87 stars since they made me listen to a maroon5 song.
Meat options available but appear to be second class citizen.
Pros: Large menu!, Good food and friendly staff!, Gluten free options clearly labeled
Cons: Music too loud , They allow Maroon 5 to play in restaurant

Vegan Options Front & Center! - Edit
I asked if the restaurant was fully vegan because they had the full vegan menu on a large display. They do have meat options, but you have to ask to see a separate menu for them - the opposite of the norm! So many vegan options and they are very clearly noted. The food was terrific and the staff was very helpful and friendly. The cactus nachos, the chimichangas, and the flautas were soooo good. We'll be back the next time we're in town.

Unexpected Surprise! - Edit
Full dedicated extensive vegan menu. The options were amazing. Which would have been enough. But wait! It’s the best tasting vegan Mexican food place I have been to. Will happily travel 45 minutes, from Chicago to eat here again. Fresh. Seasoned to perfection. And it’s a cute unassuming spot. Can’t wait to go back!

Best vegan Mexican options I’ve ever seen - Edit
This is a mostly vegan Mexican restaurant but I believe they also have vegetarian options too. We ordered the vegan quesadilla, tamales and chimichanga. Everything was delicious, but next time I will just get tamales and rice, corn and beans! Those were the best. We also had the vegan cheesecake which I think is probably just a plain daiya, but it was delicious. We will come back next time we are in town!

Hands down the best - Edit
Kind, grateful staff takes pride in their beautiful food. We have 7 children and 3 are disabled and we always feel welcome. Our group is big and loud and these folks always make sure we are well taken care of. We have a variety of dietary needs and all of them are met here! Our vegan and celiac family members love eating here because the selection is huge. Even our pickiest kids chow down when we visit Momcorn. We live 2.5 hours away and anytime we come to the area for work or play, we order a ton of food. A huge favorite! Get the vegan chimichanga or vegan flautas and don’t skip the horchata! So nice to be provided with all the fixings like sour cream, vegan cheese, flavorful guacamole.

Amazing vegan options - Edit
They have so many vegan options. I had a vegan horchata with a vegan chimichanga with a side of rice and beans and corn and it was incredible. I went there last year and I feel like everything really improved. I can't wait to come back. They serve meat but are vegan forward.

This place is seriously awesome. Been here so many times when visiting family in the area. I wish they had vegan beef but even without it, still so great. We always get the vegan chimichanga and vegan flautas. On occasion we will get their vegan loaded fries and cheesecake. Love it. Thank you.
