First time to any Taco Pros- i haven't ever even heard of them and there are so many locations…read more I tried the one on Chicago and Damen - i find that neighboorhood getting dirtier and grungier every year so I don't go that way anymore but it was on way home. I saw the deal of 3 tacos + a drink for $7.99 so i thought i'd try it. I was really surprised at how much food - 3 tacos and a plate of fresh chips you get. I thought my tacos were great- shrimp and ground beef being the best and the pastor was passable. The warm chips and salsa was great. There is zero reason to eat other crappy fast food when you can get this deal. I ll be back to try other menu items. Thanks Taco Pros!

I've been to Urban Vegan several times and while I'm in Chicago I frequent here whenever I get a…read morechance. I've even visited both Urban Vegan locations when they used to have two of them. Urban Vegan never disappoints vegans like me, the quality of food is always good! We ordered Chicken nuggets for appetizer Green curry, Spicy noodle and orange chicken which were all delicious but the service could've been better. It fact it was disappointing. The server seemed to be cold and indifferent and giving minimal service. When I asked for extra plates so we could all share, she gave us small plates and didn't say anything. Another customer was asking multiple times for take out boxes, bigger take out boxes and a bag to carry their leftovers, this showed the lack of quality service was not just no limited to us. That's why I give this place four stars instead of five. I hope the service improves when we return next time.

I'm trying to think of something on which Penelope's could improve, I truly am, but nothing comes…read moreto mind. Decor - fabulous. Menu - varied with options for anyone, plant based or not. Pricing - quite reasonable for a niche vegan taqueria. Portion sizes - appropriate. Flavors - spot on. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients, and while hesitant to offer suggestions did share her favorites, which was just as helpful. I tried: -Street style elote: I nearly cried. I found out about the (potential) joys of elote after becoming plant based, and as such had not been able to try it until my visit to Penelope's. The corn itself is sweet and bursts delightfully between the teeth. The combination of mayo, cheese, tajin, and cilantro elevate the dish that much more. I could eat a bucket of just this for a meal and be entirely satisfied. -Soy al pastor taco: beautifully seasoned soy protein balanced by fresh veggies and pineapple, with just enough kick to make you pay attention. -Mushroom chimichurri taco: THAT SAUCE IS EVERYTHING. The veggies are also fabulous, but holy smokes - chimichurri perfection. Ah! I just found the problems, of which there are two. 1. There are so many options I wasn't able to try everything. 2. Penelope's is located entirely too far from my home. Fix these, and I will award a magical 6th star.

I tried Penelope's for the first time this week, and it was actually really good! I'm not vegan, so…read moreit was a little different from what I'm used to when it comes to Mexican food, but I have to give them credit -- they did an amazing job with the seasoning and substitutions. The dishes were still filling and had textures that felt familiar while keeping the vegan twist. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were AMAZING! The sauce on the side was so good that I had to get some to-go. The pineapple margarita was also a highlight -- it was fresh, well-made, and honestly good enough that I'd come back just for the drinks. The inside is super cute and colorful, and it's in a great location. Definitely a fun spot to check out, whether you're vegan or just looking to try something different!
