Simply Excellent

Everything we've tried on the menu is great. Seems like you can't go wrong with this place. Highly recommend. Friendly staff and quick service. We love stopping by here on our way back from skiing or whenever we are in this part of town.

Pros: Lots of options, Super tasty, Feels authentic

Great fully plant based restaurant

Great, friendly service. A large varied selection of entrées, sandwiches, burgers, and others. I tried the chicken sandwich with fries. Both were very good. The price being $20 is pretty expensive, which is my main reason for not giving 5 stars. I like plant based options at restaurants and fully plant based is ideal (you don't have to omit this and that and pay full price), but restaurant prices are way too high for my liking.

Pros: Fully plant based , Diverse menu , Easy parking

Cons: Pricing, Portions

Great to have a fully vegan option, food was ok

Food was ok but mostly slightly bland and greasy. Got the tostada salad with soy and pineapple and nachos with asada. The meats were the best part.

Amazingly fresh, authentic ingredients with wonderfully robust flavors!

Pros: Great service!, Fresh made to order food!, Original, and yet, true to culture food.

Best vegan food in Reno

This place is currently the most delicious and caring vegan restaurant in Reno. The diosas and sopes are ten out of ten! Smoothies are also good.

Great food!

We had the pastor and asada burritos and the special “fish” tacos. They were all fantastic! I’m so relieved to have found such a great vegan restaurant in Reno. The women who served and cooked was also very sweet and helpful. It made the whole experience even better. We are visiting for a conference and will definitely be eating here as many times as we can sneak away!

Yummy

Reno is so lucky to have this restaurant. All vegan, and so good. I’ve had Tacos Pastor so many times, I know I should try something else, but why? Yummy. Everything is cooked to order, not fast food. Beautiful inside, and very clean.

Oof.

As a vegan, I’m always hoping for the best. But.. oof. Have to be honest, so disappointed.

The food lacked flavor, spice, any kind of wow-factor. My husband’s spicy chicken sandwich wasn’t spicy at all. Fries weren’t crispy or even hot.

My tacos looked pretty but the walnut-meat tasted like all mushroom and oil, no crunch, no “omg” moment. You couldn’t mix and match “meats.” Two meals and chips and salsa cost us $57 before tip!!

The kicker, no chips and salsa at the table, we had to order it extra. The salsa was in a itty-bitty saucer.

I will say the guacamole was really good.

Would really love to see this restaurant take it up a notch or two. Add some heat to their dishes. We need vegan restaurants and this one has so much potential!!

Pros: All vegan!!!, Guacamole , Service

Cons: Expensive, No flavor, Leaving disappointed

Tasty all vegan

When we saw this was the only all vegan restaurant in reno we knew we wanted to make it a priority. Lots of great options and kind staff. Definitely going to go back while we're here. We loved the torta and Nachos. Homemade chips that don't break or get soggy!

Pros: So many options , Small business , Cute environment

Cons: Some portions are on the small side

Vegan Mexican Food

I had the torta and I thought it was very good. The service seemed a bit slow but it was because it seemed only two people were working. I would still recommend coming here.

Pros: Food, Environment

Cons: Wait Time, Few Employees

Somewhat disappointing…

Stopped at House of Mexica while passing through as it was the only all-vegan option open. To start, we tried ordering a couple of dishes only to be told the chef didn’t want to make certain ingredients (bacon & chicken) that day, so the options we had chosen were unavailable. The items we did order were rather lacking in flavor, and the portion sizes (as others have noted) were very minimal compared to the cost of the meal. The salsa is great, very spicy!

I would likely choose a non-vegan restaurant offering options over this joint on a future trip.

Terrible service, terrible prices

The customer service is one of the worst I’ve experienced. I left without ordering anything because I didn’t want to pay those crazy prices for such horrible service. The lady didn’t have friendly attitude at all since the beginning. We sat outside because of dogs, but didn’t get any water. She didn’t even serve us, had to go inside to get menus and to ask questions we had about it. The only thing I liked about this place was the interior because they had lots of live plants.

Pros: Plants indoor

Cons: Customer service, Price, They use impossible brand

Gem in Reno

Delicious all vegan Mexican fare. 'Meat subs include nopales, hibiscus, mushroom walnut. Refreshing to see options beyond the mass produced meats popular in a lot of places. Don't skip it.

Pros: Delicious, Tons of options, Lovely staff

Cons: Not close enough to my home

Soooo good!

I had the burrito with carne asada and the animal fries. Both were absolutely delicious. Like really amazing! Yes, it’s a little on the pricey side but for the quality and amount of food it’s 100% worth it. And the people working there were super nice.

Tasty but very overpriced

Tacos with mushroom walnut meat were fairly delicious but tiny and i find it a bit frustrating you can only pick one protein, and adding a tiny portion(a few spoonfuls each) of rice and beans cost 6$! Shame on me for not asking for prices ahead of time I guess. It sort of feels like you're being overcharged to pay what is I'm sure the high rent of the space and lack of customers. So walked out the door after paying 35$ for a meal and drinks that was maybe half of the amount of food that a 12$ chipotle burrito would have been. I would not go back unless it was the only option.

Pros: Nice ambience and staff

Cons: Overpriced tiny portions, 6$ for tiny side of rice and beans, Can't select multiple proteins

Am I Too Critical?

There’s a lot to love about this place and maybe I need to try it again. There were just a few holes in my experience to give it the best rating.
First off all I’d like to say the service is great and it looks really cool in here. There’s obviously a lot of love in the creation of this place. I love the options and the kombucha I got is delicious. However, the other drinks we got came in plastic cups. I mean, plastic cups aren’t the WORST or anything but they are wasteful. When you’re paying big time vegan restaurant money then we should be getting real cups.
That’s another point is the prices are spicy. And if your food isn’t spicy enough they don’t have any hot sauce. I’ve never been to another Mexican restaurant without hot sauce available. Most Mexican restaurants have 2-4 sauces! Buuuut the food itself was pretty flavorful. In fact, the crust on my chimichanga was perfect and flaky. But for the price I’d expect a bit more guac on it.
Do you see how I just keep typing “but”. That’s my feeling about this place. It’s actually very close to being perfect but it’s not actually that close. Hahaha does that even make sense?
Anyways, I would totally try this place again and you should totally try it too. I think I’m just being too critical.

Pros: It’s All Vegan!, Kombucha, Service

Cons: Pricey , No Hot Sauce, BUT

I felt the same way. I wanted to love it as one of the only fully vegan restaurants in Reno, but I found it to be overpriced, the food was bland, and I was given plastic utensils to eat with (and I think everything was served in disposable trays). At their prices, I want real dinnerware and forks and more flavorful, amazing food. I will try it again to see if anything has changed as it's been a couple of years since I've been there.

Vegan Mexican in Reno

Walked over from Peppermill, and enjoyed a wonderful dinner here. I got the burrito walnut/mushroom, and my husband (non-vegan) got sopes with al pastor.

Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful Plants behind counter, Decor

Amazing

The al pastor burrito was one of the best I've ever had and I really can't wait to try everything else on the menu. My non-vegan boyfriend had the special of the day and raved about how good those "fish" tacos were. The woman who served us, who I believe is the owner and head chef, was just lovely. Overall one of the best vegan restaurants we've been to and we'll for sure be back.

Pros: The food is fantastic., The staff is attentive and nice., The decor is super neat and the vibe is chill.
