    Loaded Steak Nachos
    Morgan F.

    Great customer service--quick, super friendly, and welcoming. The food was fresh and flavorful, and they were very accommodating. The menus can be a bit confusing at first since there's a separate vegan menu and a regular one with meat and all the toppings, but the staff is happy to answer any questions and guide you through it. Overall, an awesome spot for a quick, tasty bite with options for everyone.

    Jibarito with steak and house salad

    I got the Jibarito with steak and chicken tortilla soup. Everything was so flavorful and delicious!

    Chilaquiles Plate

    A year and a half later, we find ourselves in Gurnee, and you best believe I am coming to Momcorn! This time, we brought the whole family. Like last time, the chips and gauc were terrific, but there was one update from my previous review. The chips have amazing crunch and taste fresh. The Chilaquiles were fantastic, as I expected, but the beans were a delight. I also added on the steak which with the egg, chip, and steak one couldn't ask for a better bite. My wife had the poblano and cheese tamale and was equally pleased. So if you are on your way to six flags stop in for some great food. I hope we will be in the area again soon to eat here.

    Great food with absolutely amazing customer service! Came here for a quick bite of lunch and heard good things. I ordered the three taco plate with chicken and all of the toppings. These were 3 generous fat tacos and they were great! Highly recommend the corn and rice side. There is also a vast gluten free menu here as well. We will definitely be back mainly for the food but the very friendly service is just icing on the cake.

    Super friendly and helpful staff, delicious food and drinks. Cute decor with a homey vibe. Plus they had really good music! Hubby got the chicken empanada that was amazing. The filling was savory, and was complemented perfectly by the cabbage, cilantro, and sour cream on top. The steak in his jibarito was flavorful and caramelized, and the salsas were fresh and delicious. My breakfast tacos were good, and the beans and corn were very good. The only critique I have was that the rice was a little crunchy. Cucumber lime chia drink was fabulous and the Jamaica was tasty also. We would love to come back!

    Great service and food. The server did a great job even though he was handling quite a few tables. The empanadas were amazing. We tried the beef and chicken. The taco platter was equally delicious. The atmosphere is casual. It's definitely worth a try if you're in the Gurnee area.

    Amazing Mexican food in Gurnee! Worth taking the easy exit for. We went for lunch and loved each dish as much as the first. We had empanadas, tostadas, quesadillas, a plantain sandwich, and two delicious desserts. I would get all of them again. Nice crunch and not greasy. Plated beautifully. Lots of good flavors and textures in each dish. I love spicy hot and both the green and the red were homade delicious.

    Fresh food being prepared in front of me!

    Fresh, fantastic, and overall incredible experience! For a small business, this hit all cylinders from when I entered the relatively small eatery to when I got to sit down and enjoy my meals. I cannot recall the last time I looked forward to returning and trying out another dish of theirs! So where to begin? From the start, since I stepped into the small establishment, I was greeted at the door by, lo and behold, the owner and cook of the eatery. So excellent service right out of the gate! Being patient and helpful in explaining the menu, I explored all my options and settled with trying two meals; The Breakfast Skillet with Steak and the Chicken with Mushrooms Enchiladas topped by their Spicy Angry Salsa! Breaking down the two dishes I enjoyed, the breakfast skillet was tremendous and filling for what it was, and each component aided with what I deemed delicious. The meal consisted of Eggs, Steak, Peppers, Onions, Tomatoes, Rice, Beans, and Corn! Scrumptious, but that falls in comparison to what will bring me back. Their Enchiladas were beyond extraordinary! Not only did their spicy sauce nearly bring a flair and challenge to indulge, but from the tasty seasoning from the chicken to the tang and delicious cheese, I devoured my plate close to Cookie Monster, destroying a container filled with cookies! Jokes aside, that meal was one of the best I've enjoyed, and it was accompanied by more rice and beans; so filling, and I got my money's worth. Overall, superb service, remarkable, memorable foods, and a terrific experience. I will no doubt return once more. If I have to come back and try something again, it will be their enchiladas if I need to be more adventurous! 10/10- Possibly my new favorite restaurant

    Great vegan-Mexican restaurant! My sister-in-law brought my brother and me (both vegetarians) here for lunch. Very friendly, counter-service type place with and an incredible, varied vegan menu. Brother picked the Jibarito, an eggplant sandwich using plantains instead of bread. I had a taco plate with an eggplant taco, a poblano taco and a cactus taco. We also had empanadas for appetizers. Everything was fresh, tasty and vegan. The owners are very nice, and attentive to the their customers' needs. This is a great spot for vegetarians. We'll be back!

    My 8.00 Chips and Pico
    Michelle M.

    Umm... this is a no from me. I just never understand a Mexican restaurant that will charge me for chips and salsa. And it was EIGHT BUCKS. Although, it was tasty, it definitely wasn't worth the price. At all. My husband got the vegan burrito. Stated it was just okay. I ordered a steak taco which was just okay. The Asada Fries were really good. And I also got the pozole and added portk. Umm... it was not okay. I've never had pozole that tasted like this. And I've had a lot of pozole. Like. It's my fave. For real. Their pop machine was down. The service, however, was super good. And they do have a lot for parking.

    Chicken empanada
    Salvador C.

    Food was excellent. My only critique is that the rice my wife had was a bit under cooked. Service was top notch. Super friendly and helpful. Loved the music selection they were playing. Mixture of Cumbia and English Pop mashup. Very small but quite nice inside. Overall I'd give a score of 4.5 stars, but that isn't an option. I will be back to try other foods.

    i dont know how i stumbled upon this gem but i did and though i do eat meat, i try to eat more vegan. My sister is a good vegetarian, so she usually chooses vegan options. We went to Momcorn over the last weekend and we were both VERY happy. The menu is awesome and the food was DELICIOUS. i got a vegan chimichanga with rice beans and a side of guac. i usually dont like salsas but that green salsa was so good! Everything was delicious! Ty sister had the vegan tacos and she really enjoyed them as well as the chips and salsa. The rice and beans were seasoned so good, i couldve eaten just the rice and beans and been happy. They also had peach crush which ive never seen before and was delicious. we will definitely going back and i will see about the catering for my birthday party. 20/10 and the service was great as well. Highly highly recommend!

    Do we need reservations for Saturday 07/30/2022 after 5PM?

    No. It's a tiny mom and pop shop. Can't imagine they would take reservations. At worst you would have to wait 15-20 min if it's packed.

The handcrafted cocktails and…read moremocktails are always refreshing and flavorful and the presentation of the drinks, as well as the food is always photo-worthy. I always look forward to the seasonal rotation of menu items, as I know the ingredients will be fresh and in season, and I love looking forward to new dishes. I absolutely adore Spirit Elephant and have loved making this my go-to spot in Winnetka. I have had Meet Up events, girls brunches and date nights here, and always enjoy the experience. I've honestly been here more times than I can count. My omnivore friends are always pleasantly surprised once they've been officially introduced to the magic of Spirit Elephant. I've loved watching all of the small changes over the years, and have appreciated that the quality of the food and handcrafted cocktails has never changed. I have raved of the patio in the past, but they've since done two major upgrades, and I love spending weekend afternoons with a group of friends during the warmer months on their patio even more. The staff is phenomenal, and I appreciate that I always know my server will have an excellent recommendation whenever I stop in (I mean, you truly cannot go wrong with anything that you order).

The tofu in the bao buns was so crispy and delicious that my carnivore friend said tasted just like pork belly. Having never had pork belly, I was happy that to me it tasted like tofu since I love tofu. The poke nachos were a bit spicy for me but flavorful and delicious. Again, my friend thought it really tasted like tuna. My friend wanted to split the steak which I thought wasn't their strongest dish because it tasted more processed and not like lovely tofu nor like meat. But for those who enjoy vegan steaks, it was quite flavorful and moist. The potatoes were so fluffy and crispy. But not my fav of their dishes. As always the manager, Jordan, comes by and makes us feel like VIPs, laughing and treating us like old friends. And the whole team works together smoothly. Being surrounded by plants with perfect warm lighting makes the ambiance just as wonderful as the food itself.

The place has options of seating - inside and outside, ranging from metal chairs to comfortable upholstered benches. We got the tom kha to begin with, which my husband, who's not vegetarian, devoured. It was truly delicious! We then got the Kung Pao with mushrooms and it was incredible - the flavors, the choice of vegetables, the sauce - all of it! We also got a chow mein but with rice noodles - this was the one dish that could take some improvement. Granted, the original recipe calls for wheat noodles, and that might be really good, though our rice noodles version of it was came out soggy. Our server had clearly had a long day - she was tired and forgetful (didn't bring us rice and we had a hard time flagging her down to request it). She also just brought us the check after dinner, without asking if we wanted any dessert. All in all, highly recommend this place for delicious plant-based food.
