La Cocina Logan Square

this place rules, especially for vegetarians. You can get locally made Upton Seitan (chicken, beef, OR chorizo style) on anything and it's delicious and affordable. AND it's in Logan Sq/Avondale right by my work. I love it.

If you're in Logan Square and are looking for a Mexican fast-food joint with some vegetarian options? La Cocina might be exactly what you're looking for. Take the seitan tacos for a spin, or try out the seitan burrito in addition to vegetarian rice and beans. Don't forget the pico de gallo and chips! Delicious!

(Upton's Naturals choices- chicken, beef or chorizo)

I seriously hate giving bad reviews, but my God. Call me a glutton for punishment but I've given this place five chances (It's on the corner by my house) The food...simply AIGHT ----as Mexican food goes. But, I'm actually astonished to see the same two young guys working there as they are THE SLOWEST kitchen guys I've EVER seen. Every time I've waited almost a half an hour for two quesadillas??? They won't even take someone's order until they're finished MAKING someone else's order. Really? My stomach starts eating itself as I watch three or four other miserable souls waiting before me. No joke you could probably walk to JJ peppers, buy a hot dog and a paper, eat it and read it, walk back ....and wait. On top of all this great service, the prices are simply put...ridiculous. Unless you're there for that $1 flauta or taco day which is garbage anyway, what they're charging is insane. Two (SMALL!) steak quesadillas an EXTRA small rice and an Horchata...$12 Whaaaa? I think next time they'll stick a flower in it and call it gourmet.  I'm sticking with Burrito house on Addison/Kedzie. Seriously the best fish tacos, super fresh, super fast and awesome portions, for a lot less $. :(
