Gracias Madre - WeHo

No comments simply AMAIZING !!! So gooo

The food here was excellent. It's often hard to find an all-vegan place that is also fancy, but this fits the bill perfectly.

Did the tasting menu and everything was fantastic!

The atmosphere is amazing but the food is even better. The nachos with the cashew queso is to die for. The chimichanga was on the brunch menu, and was so incredible. I want to come back over and over and try the rest of the menu, because I was stalking the other tables and their food looked amazing too. MUST GO !!

The flautas and the gorditas that I had for lunch were quite good. Their drinks selection is impressive.

I lunched here on July 9, during a brief visit to the LA area. I'm vegan and my lunch buddies were two old friends who are both omnivores - we all loved every dish! The beautiful outdoor seating made the lunch feel like the special occasion it was. Staff were all super friendly and accommodating as well.

Good place for groups, birthdays or dates. Has a casual/upscale atmosphere with nice outdoor area. I like the bowls. It's a family favorite.

Gracias Madre is one of our favorite restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles! While the whole menu is vegan, it's one of those places you could take a carnivore or a vegan too, because the options are varied and the cashew cheese is phenomenal, so you don't simply feel you're eating a plate of vegetables. We took a friend whose from Mexico City to the San Francisco location, and he requested to go back again when he came back to town with his wife (both are meat eaters) - to me, that's a true testament to this place!

However, in comparison to the San Francisco location (quite dark and a bit awkwardly shaped with many communal tables), this location is one of the most gorgeous restaurants I've ever seen! The inside is quite large and there's a good amount of space between tables. The outside area may even be a bit larger, and it again looks like something out of a design magazine. No touch was forgotten about, and you immediately feel comfortable in this place. Service is generally good here too, and the clientele is more of a Hollywood vibe and less of a hipster vibe, which the SF location is more of.

Cocktails are strong and creatively designed. They have a variety of drinks (and a mocktail or two) on the menu. Note that they are expensively priced for what you're getting though. Especially with the mocktail - it ends up being a lot of ice for what you pay for!

The appetizers and mains are fantastic here! Guacamole is good, anything with cashew cheese on it is creamy and filling and the entrees come with a sizable amount of food. Our favorite dish is the tamal mojado - a very satisfying dish that comes with pickled vegetables and rice. The sauce is thick and spicy, without being overwhelmingly so. Their coconut bacon is also very cool. It doesn't try to impersonate bacon, and instead has an almost bacon-like texture with great coconut flavor, very unique! The only course that sometimes leaves something to be desired is dessert. We've tried cheesecake, their gluten-free black bean brownie and their chocolate cake. I found all to not be quite as deliciously sweet as a non-vegan dessert (we've even had better vegan versions of all three elsewhere). The black bean brownie came with sauces drizzled on top which certainly made it sweet, but not in the best kind of way. I recommend going elsewhere for dessert.

Overall, a very solid restaurant - it could be a perfect date spot or a great place to bring the whole family due to its size!

So glad I heard about this place. We had dinner here on Mother's Day. They were very busy and we had no reservations, but they offer a couple of community tables and we were able to sit there immediately. First of all, the guacamole was amazing! Many others have said it and I concur. For my dinner I chose the uno bowl: brown rice, guac, black beans, lettuce and tempeh chorizo. The flavors blended so nicely. The only negative was that the service was rather slow. I chall it up to the fact that is was especially busy for mother's day. I will definitely be returning!

100% vegan with an incredible menu for both food and drink. Great service and indoor/outdoor seating. Food presentation was beautiful and the taste matched the presentation.

My friend and I went a bit silly and ordered waaaay to much food but it all tasted sooo devine and we managed it eat it all!

We came here for weekend lunch with a reservation and I recommend making one as this place was busy!

So many options, I didn't know what to choose! I ordered several items off of the happy hour menu, an appetizer ( the brussel sprouts with pesto was AMAZING) and the Mexican wedding cookies. Everything exceeded my expectations.

Pretty much if you want some of the tastiest plant based food you'll ever eat...go to Gracias Madre. It's amazing. No joke. Get the sweet potato flautas, no the burger with truffle cheese and coconut bacon, no get it all.

If you don't like this place, we can't be friends.

Came here for my non-vegan mom's birthday and she loved it! we definitely had a great time tasting the food! (I got the sopes and my mom got the chimiganga, plus the guac and chips with salsa & delicious dessert) The salsa was amazing by the way!!! Over all, it was amazing, though quite pricey so I'd just prepare

Friendly staff and great gourmet Mexican dishes. Love this place!

chique, cool, relaxing outdoor seating.

You won't believe it is vegan. The food is to die for! I'm in heaven. Great tequilas too.

We came here on a Friday evening and it was packed! This is obviously a hot spot for everyone from singles mingling, groups, couples, parties, you name it. We were told that it'd be a 45 minute wait, but we were seated in less than 30 min at the community table.

It was my first time and I didn't know what to get. I took a gamble and decided to get the Sopes con Piña because I like pineapples. I added bacon to this dish. OMG. Best. Dish. Ever. The masa cakes were perfecto! Crisp yet soft enough to cut with ease. It was topped with black beans (the most delicious black beans I've ever tasted), guacamole (excellent guac!), and pineapple salsa. It was the most awesome flavor explosion for my tastebuds! (I omitted the cashew crema from this dish.)

For dessert I got the peach cobbler. Also an excellent dish. The peaches were so buttery and caramelized, topped with a warm, crisp, sugary crust, and on top of that was the vanilla bean coconut ice cream. As someone who is considered southern, this peach cobbler comes very close to the infamous southern version. Delicious!

Our server was helpful, friendly, and attentive. Amazing food, and large portions... Definitely worth the money here.

On our way out, I noticed a prayer box. You could write down a prayer, put it in the box, and light a candle. This was such a special touch. It really just sealed and intensified my already enamored view of this place.

I cannot wait to return!

(FYI - They take reservations. I suggest making them, especially on a weekend evening.)

This is one of my regular spots- I am somewhat obsessed! The restaurant itself/the patio are gorgeous & lend to a great atmosphere. Go for brunch & get the most amazing lemon scone (seriously, how is it vegan?!)... For dinner, I prefer their apps & salads. Love the Caesar, but be sure to add coconut bacon & almonds. My non-vegan husband loves this place too! Oh, and the desserts are to die for!
