Most of the readers of this review live in Chicago…read more Those readers know perfectly well what Taco Pros is. For those readers who live in the Underprivileged World: (Underprivileged World = Not Living in Chicago. I got that particular definition out of Webster's Chicago Dictionary. That's a book they give to all Chicago kids at birth.) Residents of the Underprivileged World: Taco Pros is a Chicago based chain of fast food Mexican joints. They don't open till lunch time but stay open till 3 in the morning. A lot of Chicago shuts down early (or at least shuts down early by the standards of us Texas folks. We like restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores and convenience stores to stay open 24-7.) So when I wanted to eat dinner a little after midnight, Tacos Pros is what there was. I wanted to get full. I got full. The serving size was generous. The price was right. The food came out instantaneously to boot. * * * On that fast preparation of your order: I think they are on the system where as soon as in the back of your mind you start thinking that you might like Mexican, and you are mulling about pulling out your phone to see what restaurants might be nearby Taco Pros already knows you are coming, Taco Pros already knows what you are going to order and Taco Pros has already started packing your order into a bag. If it is not true that they know in advance that you are coming Then I have no idea how your order comes out so fast. Their speed is really impressive. * * * How is the food itself? Decent enough. Nothing was bad. Nothing gave me instant regrets a la "Out of Desperation, you actually ATE this? What in God's name, were you thinking? Let's see if we can avoid the stomach pump." There were no regrets to my Taco Pros dinner. I don't think I will ever apply the "no regrets" line to anything ever ordered from Taco Bell. * * * If you were coming to Chicago for a set of legendary meals, Would you make Taco Pros an essential part of your itinerary? Samuel C. will tell you you can definitely do better. But if it is late at night, and everything is closed, If your alternative is a bag of Doritos and a frozen hot pocket from a gas station convenience store Then Tacos Pros counts as an elegant banquet with along with chandeliers and good silver. And the food is legitimately not too bad.

Urban Vegan never disappoints vegans like me, the quality of food is always good! We ordered Chicken nuggets for appetizer Green curry, Spicy noodle and orange chicken which were all delicious but the service could've been better. It fact it was disappointing. The server seemed to be cold and indifferent and giving minimal service. When I asked for extra plates so we could all share, she gave us small plates and didn't say anything. Another customer was asking multiple times for take out boxes, bigger take out boxes and a bag to carry their leftovers, this showed the lack of quality service was not just no limited to us. That's why I give this place four stars instead of five. I hope the service improves when we return next time.

The dishes were still filling and had textures that felt familiar while keeping the vegan twist. I ordered the enchiladas, and they were AMAZING! The sauce on the side was so good that I had to get some to-go. The pineapple margarita was also a highlight -- it was fresh, well-made, and honestly good enough that I'd come back just for the drinks. The inside is super cute and colorful, and it's in a great location. Definitely a fun spot to check out, whether you're vegan or just looking to try something different!

Run, don't walk! I couldn't choose between the Asada Fries or Enchiladas, so I got both and they did not disappoint. The Chimichanga was good too. Honestly, everything was seasoned to perfection! I also tried the dirty horchata & it was perfect! I'll definitely be back soon. Next time with more family and friends!
