Taco Dinner special: 3 tacos, rice and beans for $19. My first taco was mushroom #chimichurri which had an amazing flavor - sauteed #mushrooms, caramelized onion, and chimichurri sauce. Second was the #carnitas taco which was interesting made from pulled oats! Very meaty taste and texture. Finally was the chunky #queso taco which was cheesy and hearty and delicious. This fully #veganrestaurant in downtown #Chicago was cute and delicious. Reasonably priced tacos, though the large plates are a bit pricier. They also do $5 off taco dinner every #tacotuesday!

i was pleasantly surprised by this dish! i thought that the concept was intriguing and decided to try something different. the cinnamon chips themselves were delicious and contrasted nicely with the ice cream. they remained crunchy despite being smothered. i also appreciated the various fresh fruit toppings (especially the cherries) and presentation of the dish. the only downside for me was that is was very, very sweet. i am still glad i tried it and i think it’s a dessert that’s worth a try, but the overwhelming sweetness was a bit too much for me flavor-wise.

definitely my favorite dish i ordered from here! i found it to be a little small for the price ($19) but it was a foot long so i’m not complaining that much. they also dip it in guajillo sauce for free! stuffed with asada, soy chorizo, potatoes, onions, and multiple cheeses, i found this quesadilla to be filled with delight and joy and all that is good with the world. it has a slight kick to it, although that may just be me confusing spice with the fact that it was really hot when it came out. i really liked the textural contrast between tortilla and potatoes and cheese,, and the soy chorizo was phenomenal! along with the side sauce, it was really just about a perfect dish to me and i would 100% recommend it.

i was really excited when i saw this come out, but it wasn’t my favorite. first of all, i thought the portion size was pretty good for the price. i knew it was going to be messy (do not order this if you don’t like messy food), so that didn’t bother me much either. my main problem was just up to a personal preference, that being that i am really not a huge fan of avocado, and this torta was filled with probably ~half avocado and half of the other fillings. i underestimated the amount of avocado that would be in this dish; however, this is great news for avocado fans. i also noticed that there was a lot of bread for the amount of filling, but i was actually a pretty big fan of the bread; it was really good, especially with the guajillo sauce. anyways, i think it was a good dish overall, just not my personal favorite.

these are the best nachos i’ve had and i genuinely don’t like nachos that much. they looked so good online that i had to order them and i do not regret it. the nachos themselves held up surprisingly well in terms of sogginess, and i was pleased to report they were barely soggy at all by the time they were gone. i enjoyed the variety and amount of toppings—there didn’t seem to be too much or too little of anything. a personal favorite were the potatoes, which were cooked perfectly. i also really liked the kick of the nachos. there was enough spice to add some good flavors, but not enough to burn my mouth. additionally, i feel like the portion size is fair for the price and i wasn’t disappointed, especially with the hefty portion of toppings that they provide. i would recommend these!

Once we’d hammered out a date, I was elated to receive the email containing details for dinner with friends. I’d never been to Penelope’s & was excited to go. The Al Pastor tacos I ordered were equal parts sweet, tangy, spicy & delish. The restaurant itself is a small-ish, lively space - who needs dessert when the room is positively vibing with eye candy (via the murals on the walls). (Actually, one of my friends had ice cream for dessert & she enjoyed it.) None of my friends are vegan and yet, all three women loved their food. Looking forward to our next visit. 🌮 #psstthisreviewearned60centsdonationcredit

Every dish I had here was absolutely amazing! Everything was colorful and vivid 🌈 and filled with flavor. The blue horchata was mind blowing! -Torta Telera dipped in a red chili 🌶 sauce with potatoes, red onions, cilantro, avocado, cheese, and green salsa. -Tacos De Apastor marinated soy topped with pineapple, cilantro, red cabbage, and salsa. -Quesabirria sautéed mushroom tacos w/melted cheese folded & dipped in a guajillo sauce topped with cilantro, onions, salsa with a side of veggie broth.
