If you think you've "tried" vegan food before, go to Abuelita Coco in Oak Lawn and reset your…read moreexpectations. From the first bite, you can taste the intention. This isn't just plant-based food -- it's thoughtful, balanced, and crafted with real love. I had the fish tacos (yes, vegan -- and absolutely convincing), the corn ribs, mushroom sandwich, truffle fries, mushroom quesadilla, horchata, and Jamaica. Not one miss. Every single item was a hit. The flavors are layered without being heavy. Comforting without being greasy. Satisfying without the crash. You leave feeling full but light -- the kind of meal where your mouth, your stomach, and your health all say "thank you." If you go, honestly? Do yourself a favor: order a sandwich and a drink. Sit with it. Taste it. Let it speak for itself. This is the kind of place we need not just to survive, but to thrive. You can feel the family behind it. The mom. The owner. The care. The pride. The love is truly in the food. Oak Lawn is lucky to have them. Go hungry. Leave grateful.

I was looking forward to trying this restaurant, and we finally found time to make our way out to…read moreOak Lawn. We started with the Corn Ribs ($12). They were fine, but pretty unremarkable. I got the Fish Dinner Tacos ($25), and my husband got Flautas de Papa ($18). I was eyeballing their Pozole or Menudo but didn't really want to pay $22 for a bowl of soup. Everything on the menu just felt too expensive, especially for being in a casual atmosphere outside the city. Quesadilla La Reina del Sur has a plethora of vegan tacos you can get for like $4 each. I was in the mood for dessert, but even something as simple as 2 cookies with milk would be $24, so we went elsewhere. The food was fine, and the service was fairly attentive, but nothing blew me out of the water for these prices. They also added a 3.5% fee to the bill.

I sat there so long without being greeted that the owner himself stopped by and ended up waiting my table. I was wondering what that was all about! I knew it wasn't the norm for the owner to be waiting tables. My brother and I both had the "cigar" chicken and waffles. Funny thing is it doesn't actually come with a cigar lol. All the items are ala carte. Coffee is mediocre. The restaurant is pretty and clean. I especially loved the outdoor space underneath the pergola. I would have to come here again on a day where the weather is playing nice.

The rice was under cooked and the food lacked seasoning. The coffee was good. The service was ok. We weren't offered tortillas the agua de Jamaica was watered down.

We were excited to try this place as it belongs to our community and we wanted to like it and support it but we definitely won't be back.

Amazing coffee, scrumptious smelling empanadas and tasty looking treats. I wasn't hungry (have eaten too much while here) and didn't grab anything but coffee.

I was dropping off a package at UPS next door when I noticed this taco place…read more I'm a huge taco fan, having lived the majority of my life in Los Angeles where you can get great tacos nearly everywhere. But finding a good taco in the Midwest, is hard. Initially, my plan was to order a carne asada taco, but I decided to order a shrimp taco instead. I love shrimp tacos, but they aren't on every taco place menu; so, when I see one, I have to try it. The woman suggested I get it in a flour tortilla with onion and cilantro, and their salsa verde. I did, and I'm happy to report that although it smelled a little fishy when I opened the box, it was not fishy flavored at all. The taco came with 6 mini shrimp and they were delicious with whatever spice they marinade these shrimps in and the green salsa is wonderful! It's not super spicy but it has a lot of flavor. I will definitely be back for more!
