Not great at all - Edit
I had the burrito bowl and some fries and both were not great. The burrito bowl was bland and small and the sauce that came with the fries, which needed a lot of salt to taste half decent, was like tomato paste. I wouldn’t recommend. The staff were friendly though.

Sensational food - Edit
Beautiful venue, food is amazing. Vegan options are not marked on the menu but most of the vegetarian dishes can be made vegan, just need to ask. Guacamole was so fresh and tasty. Entrees/shared plates were great but the mains were huge and cheap compared to other options so we couldn't finish our food. I would definitely come back but either go for just shared plates/entrees or just a main with no sides.
Read morePros: Great food, Several vegan options
Cons: Vegan options not marked on menu, Disproportionate dishes

Some vegan options - Edit
The vegetable bowl was alright. It was the vegetarian bowl with the fetta and aioli not included. For some reason there was no guacamole, even though the menu stated that it was included. It would really have been better with the guacamole as it seemed like it needed a dressing.
Read morePros: Tasted okay
Cons: Didn't include guacamole in the meal

Yummy main & guac - Edit
There were a few options on the menu and I ordered the one main, Camote de Agave which is sweet potatoes and black beans. The tostadas were more like big tortilla chips. Overall the flavours were nice and the plate was filling.

A little disappointing at best - Edit
Honestly disappointing. $3 for two corn chips, they call tostadas, 2, one, two. Plus $2 for a spoonful of salsa. Rip off. I had the vegan taco, flavour was fine, it was just a quarter or a zucchini fried in batter put in a soft tortilla. Pretty poor overall. When we mentioned our disappointment we were told others have said the same and we should have ordered something else....we’ll, if others complain too, shouldn’t management take note and adapt to be better???? Go elsewhere, there’s no love or care in their food. Good service aside from all that.
Read morePros: Outdoor seating, Good service til food comes out then they hide

Great for going out with friends - Edit
Great restaurant located on the waterfront precinct, we visited for a work function so had people with a variety of dietary requirements. Staff were responsive and meals came out quickly. Three or four vegan options on the menu which were delicious.
