I was pleased to discover Ahuevo listed on Uber Eats while searching for coffee shops near me in…read moreChicago's Little Village neighborhood. Its 4.8-star rating from over 1,500 reviews gave me the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience.
Looking through the menu at Ahuevo, I was interested in the "El Vurrito (Vegan)," which is a 100% plant-based burrito featuring vegan eggs, melty vegan cheddar, smoky vegan chipotle mayo, and crispy, golden tater tots--all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Yum! I must say that I was surprised to see it on the menu, and it became the sole purpose of my order. I ended up ordering it with vegan sausage. I love ordering online for the convenience and the ability to schedule a pickup time. Most of the time, my orders are ready--or nearly ready--upon arrival. By the time I reached the restaurant, my order was already complete. I initially drove past the restaurant because I didn't see any signage. Once I turned around on Kedzie Ave, my GPS led me to Mi Tierra, which Ahuevo is located inside. Ironically, right as I was leaving, I finally noticed the exact signage I had missed while looking for the place! Go figure! If you have ever driven down Kedzie Ave in Little Village, then you have likely spotted the exterior of Mi Tierra. Its terracotta-red facade, accented with warm beige or tan trim, arched windows, and a tower-like structure, stands out from the surrounding buildings, making it a recognizable landmark.
As for my food! While taking the El Vurrito out of the box it was placed in, I stated to myself, "Oh my God, this is big!" which instantly made me think of a Chipotle burrito. Unwrapping it, I had the biggest smirk on my face in anticipation of what I was about to eat. "Hello!" It smelled so wonderful as I caught my first glimpse of it. Next, I cut it to see and take pictures to share on Yelp of what is inside of this luscious looking burrito. I was very pleased with the taste, as my tastebuds were hit with all the ingredients it consisted of. If you are unsure of what to order at Ahuevo and are a plant-based eater like me, I highly recommend it because it will leave you satisfied, period! I am very positive that I will order it again in time, being that the restaurant sits down the street from my residence.
Because I had a great ordering experience, I would definitely order from Ahuevo again, whether for Uber Eats delivery or takeout, whenever I visit the area.
