As authentic as you can get! - Edit
Love the vegan options here. If you want no frills, vegan Mexican food come here. I got the huarache with vegan "meat" which turned out to be vegan carne asada. It was AMAZING. The texture and taste was so close to the real thing and the meal was very filling for the price. Wish I could give 5 stars!

Delicious tacos - Edit
The vegan tacos de al pastor and asada are amazing, tortillas are hand made. We tried the pozole and torta de vegan asada which is also delicious. Can’t wait to try more items.

5 Stars for their Vegan Menu - Edit
Ask for Vegan menu! The Huaraches was our absolute favorite!!! But it was all delicious, even coming with fantastic vegan meats, cheezes, and sour cream! The vegan steak meat was great in the burrito. Some dishes have a bit of heat, like the combinacion esparanza.

Would give 5 stars if I could...
Pros: Flavorful, Friendly/helpful Staff, Full Vegan Menu
Cons: No vegan horchata :(

Amazing! - Edit
I came because of the recommendation of their vegan pozole (only served on the weekends) but they have a separate vegan menu (what?!) - something unexpected in this cute, authentic Mexican restaurant. Ordered the mole enchiladas, which were amazing - definitely a new go-to.
