Delicious & inexpensive

Awesome tasting mexican food and really reasonable prices. There are a couple of vegan meats and cheeses to choose from. I had a chik'n chimichanga and it was AWEOME. My only beef is that the service is slow (they seemed under-staffed) and the place is dark, dingy and LOUD. Turn down the music, people! Otherwise, a totally awesome place.

Pros: Food
Cons: Parking, Ambiance, Loud

Some pretty good food

4 Posted on 08 / 22 / 2011

Always fun to have some vegan Mexican food.

The good:
The people were super friendly. The drinks were strong. They have Lagunitas IPA on tap! They sub Gardein and Daiya for all their otherwise non-veg dishes. The food os not too spendy, I think it was just over $5, less than 10 at least for very nice sized portions. The tacos I got were definitely good.
They have nice outdoor patio. The flip side of that is I couldn't see the food I ate, which I enjoy.

The less than good:
Well we stayed outside because the inside was dark and loud. I think it runs late as a bar, which is fine too. The only thing, I didn't exactly vette them to see if they use different pans, boards, etc to see how vegan their vegan was. But if whoever listed this place did all that(?), then this place is excellent.
(Could someone in the know respond to this point if they see it please?)
Anyone who likes nice people, good drinks, and vegan Mex without spending too much, should go here and have some fun.

Pros: cheap, gardein & daiya, nice folks

    went back once since and it wasn't that good or special, but its cheap. we don't think we'll be back, but maybe if very hungry for lunch in the area, since we know better dinner spots in that area.

I have been searching for authentic Mexican food everywhere I go, ever since we moved away from my husbands parents. This place has at least one dish that actually comes close. The soy chicken tinga is amazing! I was really excited that they offer fake meats, which is even harder to find than good mexican food. I would highly recommend this place to any vegan or vegetarian. Most dishes can be made vegan and even have vegan cheese!

Pros: price, quality, atmosphere

Great Mexican Food

I went here this weekend with 3 other vegan friends. This place came highly recommended and I can see why. First off, it has a fun, cozy atmosphere. The place was packed, and it took about 20 minutes before a table opened up for us. Next, *everything* on the menu can be made vegan. They have Daiya vegan cheese and vegan "beef" and "chicken", which both have great texture and flavor. We got vegan chimichangas (both beef and chicken), as well as a wet burrito. Everything was excellent, the server was great, and the price was more than reasonable for the generous portions we got.

Will happily eat here again.
