Just ate here for the first time tonight, after a day at Great America. Their food was absolutely fantastic. Everything was fresh and so flavorful. I will definitely be making this a regular stop whenever we head up to the theme park.

Wow! Absolutely brilliant vegan Mexican! We had the loaded cactus nachos–the meaty texture/flavor of the cactus was amazing. Also had the green pozele and flauta plate, both of which were fantastic. Super nice people. Fast service. Took one star from atmosphere just because the AC was blasting and we like it hot but otherwise flawless. Look forward to stopping back in soon!

JUST GO HERE!!! Great Mexican food made with noticeably fresh ingredients. Vegan menu with great variety. Love the Hibiscus Tea And customer service is always on point and gives a great familial vibe!!!

Vegan Mexican is very unusual, and their execution was excellent. Beyond the usual Mexican fare, they do some nice variants using items like plantains. Ask for their angry salsa or their extra angry if you enjoy heat. Counter service and a simple dining room. Note: Every vegan item has a NON-vegan option for the meat and cheese eaters.

What an amazing restaurant! The food was delicious and fresh. The employees were friendly and knowledgeable. Our group was a mix of vegan and non-vegan and we all found a tasty option for dinner, including dessert!

This is an unusual Mexican style restaurant. Lots of vegan menu items, as a matter of fact the whole menu was vegan. They do serve non-vegan as well, just no menu yet. Here you order at the counter and pickup your food. My food was brought out to me since it was not busy at the time. I had a small bowl of green pozole, which was vegan. It was fine, but I am used to a rich meat based broth and Spicey. Vegans should love this place! My next course were two hand made tortillas and pork, which were tasty. I’ll have to try this place a few more times, since they have a very interesting menu. You can follow me on Google for all my reviews. Before you leave hit the thumbs up

My family and I took a trip to the great Wolf lodge with some friends over the weekend. We were looking for local food options and came across, Momcorn. This place is incredible. The food is amazing, the staff are exceptional. It was like being welcomed into their home for a Sunday night dinner. They make their own tortillas fresh every daily. They have incredible vegan, and vegetarian options, as well as standard menu items. The Al Pastor tacos with the homemade tortillas, were the best I’ve ever had, and it not even close. It was like eating a family recipe that went back generations. Everything we ate was extremely balanced. You can tell the chef has carefully tasted and crafted this menu. I wanted to try everything on the menu. This place is the crown jewel of Gurnee!!

Momcorn is a hidden gem in Gurnee! Certainly a great place for takeout or dine-in. You can tell the food is made with quality ingredients and has a great balance of flavor. The ambience inside is typical to a traditional Mexican street-eats shop, and if you’re looking for something casual and authentic this is the spot to go.

Our first experience eating here was amazing! We are visiting from out of town. Finding vegan options is usually pretty hard, most of the time it’s only one or two things on the menu. Momcorn has an extensive vegan menu with so many options. We tried a few dishes and every single thing was amazing!! It wasn’t loaded with grease like a lot of places. Was very fresh and flavorful. The customers service was also top notch! We will definitely be back next time we are in town.
