Creative, flavorful tacos - Edit
Their tacos are seriously good. I tried three, the chorizo, baha, and cauliflower and they were all packed with flavor. I think the chorizo was my favorite of the three. There were so many things on the menu I would have liked to try so I'll have to go back. So great to find creative vegan tacos!

Just “okay” - Edit
We had some different dishes, and some were good, others so-so. The service was attentive and great, and their cauliflower ceviche was great. Only two of the six sampled tacos felt up to par. Corn cob was just strange, but some other items sounded delicious. Hit or miss type of place.

Excellent food! 😍 - Edit
Went to have food at Penelope’s Vegan Taqueria on a Sunday afternoon and had a super delicious meal!
Read moreWe shared a variety of tacos (‘Soy Al Pastor’, ‘Carnitas’ and ‘Asada’), the enchiladas and the burger and everything was super delicious!
Our daughter also loved the kids quesadillas (and we loved that she could finally have vegan ones!).
Lovely place and for sure a lot of fun for drinks, too!
Pros: Delicious vegan food , Colorful space , Friendly service

Just Alright - Edit
I was really excited to try this restaurant! I loved the chips and salsa, but everything else lacked flavor. I went with a big group on a Tuesday and they were out of a few things including tequila! Pretty disappointing we couldn’t order a margarita. I might go back to try something else but I will definitely call before hand to make sure they at least have tequila in stock!

Could be better - Edit
I had very high expectations and was really looking forward to eating here. Honestly, i was pretty let down with the food that i ordered. I felt that it was lacking in flavor overall. If I were to come back I’d order a different entree. However, the classic horchata was very good!

This Mex loves this place - Edit
They clearly took great care to match the taste of true Mexican dishes. Very creative use of veggies. I'm floored by how good this is. The Beyond meat flavor and rice/beans were the only thing that pinged as non-authentic.

Satisfying Vegan Mexican Food - Edit
I travel quite a bit and it is hard to find 100% vegan restaurants (as well as mostly gluten-free). So when I do, I get all excited. This one is a small nicely appointed diner style restaurant with a very colorful motif and a fair amount of indoor seating. I liked how friendly, helpful, and attentive the staff was.
Read moreI ordered several different flavors of their street tacos in hopes of getting my Mexican food fix for the year. They certainly didn’t disappoint. I especially loved the spicy chorizo, asada, and mushroom tacos although the Al pastor tacos were tasty as well. The vegan sour cream (I assume house made) had just the right amount of “zing” to accent the dishes.
I know where to go next time I am back in Chicago.

Cheap price, all vegan - Edit
All the prices were way cheaper than I've ever seen. The chimichanga was about 14 dollars, with impossible beef, vegan cheese and vegan sour cream

Delicious burrito - Edit
I was visiting Chicago and tried to support 100% vegan restaurants that have great reviews.
Read moreI just had Stand Up Burgers about 2 hours ago, but since I was closed by Penelope’s I thought I should order Togo for later. Since it’s for later I thought a burrito would be the best choice.
The beans were perfectly cooked and very nicely flavored. It was odd that I never like the chorizo spices but this lightly flavored burrito was perfect for me. I have to say it has been the best vegan burrito that I have ever tasted in these 8 years.
Sorry, I think I forgot to take a photo but if I located I will uploaded late.
This is just a note. I am so used to the larger burrito sizes in California, I was a bit surprised by its size. But it was a perfect size for me and I can truly tasted how they put love in their cooking. They were so busy too and yet the a simple burrito still comes out so tasty. I can’t wait to visit next time when I am in town. It would be for a nice sit down dining experience.
I highly recommended this taqueria!!

Amazing food, drinks and service - Edit
We found this place through Happy Cow, and it was amazing. Service was impeccable, as the owner, Juan, served us, and was happy to be ell us all about the food and drinks. The creativity in the tacos delighted our palates, and the drinks were delicious. We loved the elite, guacamole, many different tacos and the homemade Horchata. They are getting their liquor license soon. Does miss this place, all vegan, and all delicious!

Great flavor, great vibes - Edit
Penelope’s really delivers on the flavor, customer, service, and aesthetics. The tacos are memorable, servers amiable, and the vibe is perfect for get hangs and dates. I had a great experience.
Read moreThe two areas for growth are the menu and prices. The menu has some great options but is surprisingly small. The prices are pretty high—tacos are $5 and a special dessert was going for $12. That said, only three tacos filled me up!
I definitely recommend checking it out if you like vegan Mexican. It’s a gem.
