Traspasada Restaurant — Restaurant in Lake View Township

The most ridiculous experience ever. About 4 months ago I ordered a burrito with UberEats and requested “no avocado” because I have an allergy to avocado. I get the burrito and surprise surprise, I take a bite and a large chunk of avocado falls out. I filed a complaint with UberEats and got a full refund, luckily no anaphylaxis. I decided I wasn’t going to order again from this restaurant for awhile so they can figure it out. So today I decide to place an order again, again adding to put “no avocado” and to be safe I cut the burrito in half to see if they had put avocado, they didn’t. So I dig in and I’m almost done with a half of the burrito when I discover yet another chunk of avocado….. So here I am chugging Benadryl and writing a review. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! I filed a complaint with the city, but in no world should this have happened TWICE, not to mention the salt in the wound of my warning right on the bag...

The food here is legit and delicious. It's a total plus that they have really good vegan options that do not feel like after thoughts. You can get and of their tacos, tostadas, gorditas, sopes etc with one of their vegan filling options. My faves are nopales (cactus sauteed with onion and tomato) and the rajas con papá (poblano fajitas with potato). Just make sure to ask for no cheese and no sour cream. They also have delicious agua fresca de jamaica (sweetened iced hibiscus tea) and agua fresca de tamarindo (tart and sweet tamarind drink) which contain no dairy!

This isn't just a great place to get authentic vegan Mexican food. It's a place that has delicious food and just happens to have great vegan options. So, you and all your friends can find something to love. Watch out for that red salsa! It's a spicy one--like FOR REAL...

Some of the worst Mexican food I’ve had in Chicago and it was such a bummer because I was really looking forward to trying this place. Burrito had no flavor and was disproportionately beef. Not just beef, but unseasoned and overcooked beef. Elote was definitely made with canned corned and arrived nearly 20 mins after we got the rest of our food. It was so bad we just took one bite and left it. Not to mention, it’s extremely overpriced! $20 for a burrito and elote is absurd. Awful food and experience - this place does not even deserve 3 stars, let alone 4.4. Save your money, stomach, and time, and eat at one of the other million amazing Mexican restaurants that Chicago...
