Abuelita Coco

I stopped by Abuelita CoCo in Oak Lawn to explore their take on vegan Mexican cuisine, and the experience genuinely exceeded my expectations. The food showcases how thoughtfully prepared plant-based ingredients can still deliver the depth, texture, and character you expect from traditional Mexican dishes. The corn “fried ribs” were a standout. Crisp and deeply savory on the exterior while maintain

If I could dine here every day, I would! It is so refreshing to have a local spot that has been crafted with intention, which shows in every detail from the high-quality ingredients they use, the home-cooked-style food, the presentation of the food, even so far as the non-toxic cleaning supplies they use. From beginning to end, there is no denying the care and love that goes into this business and

Just found this place and I'm so happy there's a vegan Mexican restaurant close. They were not only delicious but they were very accommodating with my nut allergy. My favorite's are definitely the calamari, al pastor taco and the carne gordita. The masa was so fresh and tasted amazing. I also loved the rice and beans that came with the gordita's Honorable mention to the corn ribs and the fish taco

This is one of those spots. The calamari is one of those things you absolutely have to have after going vegan. The texture is perfect. The batter is perfect. The sauce is perfect. Incredible experience, great food, great people. For vegans anywhere near Chicago, do not miss this. Calamari: 4736249/10 Taco de nopales: 7/10 Taco de birria: 10/10 Taco de asada: 8/10

Loved the delicious food, beautiful vibe, and friendly service. We got take out and then came back for ice cream to experience the place. So many great vegan dishes that were tasty and healthy. They have homemade vegan gelato-like ice cream with a variety of flavors. Cassandra has created such a beautiful place. Highly recommend!
