Great Tamales

We were in the area and ordered a bunch of tamales to go and were very happy. We ordered the Green Mole, Malpa, and Cranberry Mole & Mushroom tamales. I didn't know if I'd like the cranberry mole mushroom but they were probably my favorite. When I went to pickup the food the restaurant looked very clean and the staff was friendly. Looking forward to eating here again.

My favorite local vegan restaurant

I visit Healthy Substance pretty often, and I have tried most of the food on their menu. Everything is fresh and delicious. Their pastries are not too sweet and they are moist and amazing. I’ve purchased cakes here for special occasions.
It’s nice to have a vegan restaurant on this side of Chicago. Definitely stop in if you are able!
(ps. Sunday brunch is amazing)

Pros: Mostly vegan options, Fresh and delicious , Breakfast, lunch, dinner, smoothies, & sweets

Cons: Not much seating , Tamales will sell out

Delicious Food!

So happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood that offers so many vegan options. Came in for dinner and had the tamales and rice and beans and had to come the next day for their brunch menu! Everything is very tasty and delicious. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Love this place

Pros: Lots of Vegan Options, Nice Ambiance

Delicious!

So many things to choose from, I'll have to come back often to try it all. The upcharge for the onion jam on the sandwiches is well worth it, and the sweet tamales are an excellent treat. The store itself is clean and welcoming. A very pleasant and much needed addition to the neighborhood!

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Not open on Sundays

Best vegan tamales!

This place is great! I always had to go to the north side for vegan food but now we have vegan food in the area😄My favorite item on the menu is the cranberry mole tamales. They are the best~! The space is also very nice, very clean and everything is new and the staff are so friendly. They are also very respectful to those of us who only eat vegan. I feel comfortable ordering here. Most of the menu is vegan so if you're vegan don't worry because you have a lot of really good options.

Pros: Best, Tamales, Ever

Cons: Sometimes I eat too many tamales
