Penelope's Vegan Taqueria is a hidden gem serving delicious vegan and gluten-free options. The menu is well-labeled, making it easy to navigate for those with dietary restrictions. Their taco dinner deal is a popular choice, featuring three tacos of your choice, rice, and beans. The soy chorizo taco and mushroom chimichurri taco are standout dishes, boasting excellent flavors.
Customers have praised the exceptional vegan Mexican cuisine, with the quesabirrias and al pastor tacos being particularly delicious. The tacos are often filled to the top, which is appreciated. The staff is friendly and helpful, guiding customers through the menu if needed. The selection of non-alcoholic beverages, including horchata, is also excellent.
While the dessert options are limited and not always available, the restaurant makes up for it with its overall quality. The atmosphere can sometimes feel a bit oppressive, and the service can be slow, especially on weekends, when reservations are strongly recommended. Overall, Penelope's Vegan Taqueria is a great find for those seeking vegan and gluten-free cuisine in Chicago, with a menu that includes dishes like pozole and chimichangas, which are worth a visit despite some mixed experiences.
