Great Mexican food - Edit
The Nachos Locos is very Locos. It was very tasty and the portion was good for two people. The quesabirria was also delicious. The employees are very friendly but the music was a little bit too loud.

Good food, good value - Edit
Really tasty! We picked up a takeout order and took it back to our hotel to eat. The Asada fries are insanely delicious! The portion sizes are very generous. The Asada crumbs and toppings on the fries were so good. We also got a quesadilla and a side of beans. The beans were so creamy.

Awesome food 😍 ! - Edit
Absolutely delicious food packed with flavor! So many dishes to choose from, it was hard to decide. This was my first time trying authentic Mexican food, and I want more! The portions are huge, I felt full for most of the day. If I’m ever in Chicago again, I’d love to come back and try more dishes!

Amazging Vegan Only Experience - Edit
This is a nice informal vegan only restaurant with very pleasant friendly staff. It has a large menu. We chose the Nachos Locos and the Street Style Elote "Corn" for starters, and the Mushroom Chimichurri Taco and the Carnitas Taco for mains. They came pretty fast. All were delicious. And the portions were large also. In hindsight we should have had only one starter for the two of us.

I ate too much!! - Edit
100% vegan food incl the cheese and sour cream made in house. I had the Chimichanga and my wife the Mex-Burger and fries. Big portions, which were delicious. The fries were the best I’ve had. The Victoria beer with lime is recommended too. It was a hot day and the restaurant didn’t really offer any respite from the heat. But the food and service were excellent and I’d recommend seeking it out.
Read morePros: Good, Service, Beer
Cons: No aircon meant it was very hot inside

Great vegan tacos - Edit
All vegan taqueria with a variety of tacos, entrees, and apps. The cauliflower ceviche was pretty good but could use a bit more lime.
Read moreTacos ranked in order of preference from highest to lowest: Baja, soya Al pastor, barbacoa, mushrooms chimichurri, carnitas, asada.
All of the tacos had great flavor except the asada, which was surprising since they said it’s one of their most popular. It tasted like pure impossible burger meat, nothing like asada. The only one we didn’t bother to finish.
Best was the Baja which had battered fried avocado and slaw. Great salsa on all of them.
Pros: All vegan , Lots of options
Cons: Asada taco

Bomb. - Edit
I discovered this amazing Taqueria on Uber Eats my first night in Chicago. The taco was one of the best I've ever had. Unfortunately, the nachos were very soggy by the time I got them delivered, but the flavors were excellent. Next time I'm in Chicago and I have more time, this place will be on my list of places to eat!

Just go. - Edit
Went for dinner with two non-vegans. We ordered drinks, appetizers, and meals. All of us were raving about everything we ate. I only regret not leaving room for dessert. The food, service, and ambiance were all excellent. It will be a “must visit” from now on when I’m in Chicago.

Best vegan Mexican restaurant bar none - Edit
We went to where it could very possibly be the best damn Mexican restaurant in the USA, maybe the world or perhaps the galaxy! I’m kidding but I am also not kidding. This place it’s legit. They have tacos , enchiladas , ceviche , buñuelos
Read moreToo many to list. We got the taco diner. 3 tacos with rice and beans. The taco Tuesday special. Silvia got the carnitas , Al pastor y asada. These were my favorite! The spices and flavor were just like I remember them. I got the quesibirria tacos with are stuffed with mushrooms and vegan cheese, fried in guajillo sauce with a consomé dipping sauce. OMG. It will knock your calzones off ! We finished it with a glass of horchata and a macha horchata. Couldn’t decide which one was better. Delicious. Chef kiss. 1000 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. If you are ever in Chicago. Make yourself and your mouth a favor and visit Penelope’s vegan taqueria. You’re welcome ☺️
Pros: Authentic , Affordable , Delicious
Cons: Hot sauce is 50 cents extra, AC not working , No parking

Delicious vegan taqueria! - Edit
This place in downtown Chicago was very cute. I love the Frida Kahlo sign and bright pink building to make it stand out. The inside was small but we still were able to make a reservation for a large group. The tacos were super tasty and there were so many options. There were also a number of Mexican dishes as entree options, though these were a bit pricier. Go on a taco Tuesday for $5 off the taco dinner plate!

Everything was perfect! - Edit
This is a fun and colorful restaurant clearly inspired by the art and Mexican heritage of Frida Kahlo. The location on Chicago Ave. is right across the street from the L stop on the Brown line, and the bright pink entry to the restaurant starts the adventure. Inside, the walls are covered with large murals of tropical flowers and birds that were clearly created by a talented muralist and that set a perfect tone for the colorful and exciting dishes on the menu. To start, I ordered the classic horchata, which was perfectly chilled and sweetened with a balance of flavors from the cinnamon and rice. It was hands down the best horchata I've ever had. My partner ordered the chimichanga as an entree based on beautiful photos he saw online, and the meal came out exactly as expected. It was attractively plated, and the fried tortilla was crunchy but not greasy. It was completely stuffed with well-seasoned fillings, and he seemed to like all the flavors and textures. I ordered the enchiladas, and again, the plating was so pretty, and the flavors and textures were spot on. There was a good level of heat and salt, and the tortillas were just softened (not soggy) by the enchilada sauce. The beans and rice were a nice addition since the enchilada filling is primarily potato. We didn't have room for dessert this time, but we will definitely visit Penelope's again the next time we are in Chicago. Oh, and there is a super fun greenery covered hallway on the way to the bathroom which was playfully decorated with sugar skull wallpaper. We just found this to be a really fun space, and the speed, quality, and perfection of the food and service just took it over the top. Highly recommended.
