New Vegan Items Added - Edit
Pros: They added new vegan items to the menu. They now have a tropical vegan arepa that has marinated tofu, plantains, beans, and guasacara. They have a vegan Patacone (fried green plantain sandwich). You could also create your own arepa and make it vegan.
Read moreCons: Sadly, the arepa itself - the actual corn flower bread - was the worst I've had. Also, there is no vegan drink option for the chicha or cocadas. It's a rice smoothie. Can they please make it with oat milk or other plant milks? And the nail in the coffin - they don't give you a paper check. You have to pay via the waitress's handheld card reader which has the MINIMUM tip set at 25%. Enough with toxic tipping culture.
Honest review: I'd skip this and go to Kale My Name down the street.

Good but could be more - Edit
I ordered the vegan pupusa and was surprised to see it was over $13 for just one. Normally I would order two pupusas for a meal. It was large and pretty filling but the inside could have been more. I wish they added avocado to the filling as it was just plantains and beans. I enjoyed the taste though, especially with the vegan dipping sauce that comes with it. They could easily have more vegan options on the menu, such as a plantain side or app.
Read moreTLDR; fine omni option but don’t go out of your way for the vegan options.

Horrible Service - Edit
Shorten review but keeper them know they were racist and towards us. My fiancé and I felt incredibly disheartened by our experience at the restaurant. Despite arriving a little after 1:30pm on November 13th, we observed a reasonable number of seated patrons, and though not excessively busy, we encountered a notable lapse in service. Upon sitting down, a waitress provided water and promptly departed without inquiring about our dining preferences. After waiting for about 15 minutes without any attention, we concluded that she wasn't returning. It's disconcerting to believe that being the only mixed couple in the establishment might have influenced the lack of service, especially considering the prompt attention given to tables around us with Latin or white customers. Sadly, we left without any staff acknowledging our departure. Such a discriminatory experience has left us with no desire to support this establishment further.

NOT vegan friendly... - Edit
unless you're happy to overpay for bland vegetables and lousy service. Far-and-away the worst place I've ever encountered via happycow.
