Full Menu Vegan Options

Cute but small restaurant. Good service, my margarita was just ok. Wasn't a fan of the (soy) chroriso, but would definitely go back.

All Vegan Menu!

It's easy to miss the all vegan menu at La Cantina Grill, found on the back side of the regular menu. It includes vegan meats and cheeses in quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, salads and fajitas. My favorite is the vegan beef quesadillas. So good! Even the sour cream is vegan! Although this isn't an exclusively vegan restaurant, I eat here often and have never had any issue with the staff accommodating for vegans.

Pros: All vegan menu with plant-based meats and cheeses

Cons: Must be sure to clearly tell staff you want the ve

FIVE STARSSSS

This place is so amazing we've had it twice in a week and have considered moving to Chicago.

I came the first time after a pretty rowdy Chicago fire game so I thought perhaps it was a drunken fluke that I enjoyed the vegan mini chimichangas so much.

I've come back and happy to report just as amazing. Do not miss this place!!

They have an entire vegan menu - meats, cheeses, sour cream... it's vegan heaven.

Pretty good

Had a vegan quesadilla there. Nothing to write home about, but it was good, and there was an excellent portion size for the price.

well worth the walk from my hotel

I arrived in Chicago exhausted from work and travel sand in search of something delicious. The salsa has a nice kick and the vegan chorizo mini-chimichangas were delicious. I'm tempted to come back here again during my stay.

Pros: fast, delicious

vegan burritos are awesome

love their vegan chorizo and their vegan ground beef burritos. well seasoned meat substitue product, big portions, and crave-inducing. best in chicago i've found, and they have a wide delivery area via grubhub.

Pros: quality meat substitute product, fresh, well made, wide delivery area

south loop favorite!

All food is amazing, even if your not veg! I love going here with non veg people, this way we are all happy, and I don't feel like the odd man out. Ask for separate vegan menu, they are very accommodating;)

Fantastic vegan options!!

I love this place. It has a separate vegan menu with more than 30 items; plus, all of their rice, beans, and tortillas are completely vegan. They offer Daiya and Uptons, and offer traditional standards. Some of my favorites are the grilled poblano quesadilla, mole enchiladas, spicy guacamole, and the tortilla soup (rich and tomato-based). The margaritas are quite good, as well, and $5 on Monday nights! It can get busy, but the servers are always friendly.

Pros: Great food, Good margaritas, Huge vegan menu

Cons: Can get noisy and crowded
