Meh at best - Edit
I had high hopes because I heard the owner is vegan and was also told it’s the oldest Mexican restaurant in Allegheny County. We were interested in trying the specials and the first three things we attempted to order we were told they were not available because they were the previous specials, even though they were still on the digital menu and on the TV displays. Once we ordered, we waited over an hour for our food. When the food finally arrived mine was wrong and not vegan and my partner’s fish was burnt. My order was corrected but the food was under seasoned and lacked flavor, making it overall very underwhelming. The food was meh at best.

Inventive weekly vegan specials and many options - Edit
With a vegan owner, the restaurant is upping its plant based game. There are multiple vegetarian and vegan options plus weekly vegan specials that are truly unique.
Read morePreviously, we visited this neighborhood restaurant known for their margaritas very rarely but have been going many times a month with this new focus. I am surprised by the variety and creativity of the specials.
Tonight, I had sweet potato and poblano cakes topped with mushrooms and sunflower cream and accompanied by grilled asparagus and mango and jicama slaw. Some other specials have been hibiscus tacos, cauliflower crust pizza with vegan chorizo, mushroom enchiladas, cauliflower tacos with cucumber mango salsa.
Seriously impressed and thrilled to have more good vegan options in the northern suburbs.

Delicious, Inclusive, Creative, Fun! - Edit
Our group of 8 all really enjoyed creative and delicious dishes for all tastes and dietary needs: vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, oil-free WFPB, gluten-free. I really appreciated the separate plant-based menu and that even the specials had a vegan alternative suggested that I did not have to special order myself. The sunflower crema - can’t get enough! My daughter enthusiastically remarked that she could not believe that there were so many plant-based options at one (mainstream) restaurant! We now have a favorite go-to place that we can enjoy with all of our friends and still have a variety of creative and tasty plant-based dishes to choose from. Note: Happy Cow only allows five stars for fully vegan restaurants, otherwise this review would be a whole-hearted five stars!

Cons: Wish we lived closer, but will gladly make the tri

Huge disappointment - Edit
I heard great things about this place and it was a huge let down. I got the green vegan burrito with rice and beans on the side. I placed the order over the phone and went to pick it up. They said 35 minutes on the phone. I waited an additional 30 minutes and my food wasn’t even hot. The vegetables inside the burrito (bell peppers, broccoli, mushrooms and zucchini) had no flavor at all. They were barely even cooked. The burrito didn’t come with sauce on it like the description said. All I ended up eating was the rice and beans because there was no saving the burrito. In this economy for what I paid I’m pissed. Go to chipotle! This was not worth the drive and aggravation.
Read morePros: Good rice and refried beans
Cons: Bland, Cold, Basic

I’m so sorry for your experience. We have delicious vegan options. I’m vegan and eat them everyday. I wish this would not have happened to you because I’m trying to encourage more people to eat vegan and this review distresses me because you were unhappy and I know we could have served you something wonderful.. I double checked with my staff because the vegan burrito does not even come with the filling you mention in your review didn’t make sense. It sounds like there was a miscommunication. You were not given the Colorado green Chile vegan burrito. They thought you ordered the regular burrito minus the meat, cheese, etc and wanted just the add on. veggies. I would not have enjoyed that burrito either. The regular hand rolled burrito doesn’t come with that sauce so that is why it was missing. It was a completely different item than you intended to order. Hope you will try again. Ask for Wendy or Phillip. We have even more vegan options now. I’d love to talk to you and give you suggestions.
