Inconsistent hours

Delicious, incredible food, but the hours are incredibly inconsistent and they often do not post ahead when they will be closed, please call ahead to confirm they're open.

Delicious

We were a party of five and everyone enjoyed their meal. Everything on the menu is vegan, and they dont rely too heavily on faux meat. The portions were large and the prices were good. There were so many great things to try, and i hope to return and try other dishes someday.

Comfort food

Such great vegan versions of the food I grew up with. My non plant-based husband loved his quesabirria tacos and I had the sopes. Everything was delicious and I can't wait to come back to try everything else!

Excellent Food and Service

Always greeted with a smile and friendly employees. Had the Chilaquiles, one my of favorite dishes, Maria Cruz just has it with a twist. No complaints though, food is excellent and savory.

Pros: Food, Service, Ambiance

Cons: Maybeee, add some more spicy chiles to the salsas.

Mexican favorites made vegan w/ tons of flavor

Food
Everything was delicious! Even my 60 year old dad who doesn't like trying anything new fInished his entire rice bowl.
If I have to pick things a part, I wish they used different "meat" for different dishes to add more mouth feel and authenticity. The cheese also needs work. But bottom line the flavors were great.

Atmosphere/service
This is a casual place, perfect for lunch. It has a cute interior and nice clientele. Service is a bit slow during lunch hour and the plates came out staggered. The staff is friendly and overall it's a nice vibe.

Pros: reasonably priced, good flavor, Finally a vegan option in the RGV

Cons: cheese was really not good, only open until 4pm

One of the Few All-Vegan Places

The only all-vegan place that I saw in the Valley that offered breakfast. The breakfast burrito was not only scrumptious but very filling. My wife got the quilaquiles and they were equally as delicious. We both got the Golden Latte, which was only okay.

Pros: Variety

Cons: Golden Latte was mid

Great food, great ambiance!

Flavorful and delicious food! Wait staff is very sweet and helpful, and I loved the decor including the pink-lit vibey bathroom and all the plants throughout.

I never had a vegan meal before here. Their food is delicious, and my husband turned full vegan since meat hurts his stomach.

Pros: Lots of options, Delicious, Good price

Amazing

I have been here 4 times as of this writing. Each time I have ordered something different and each time the food has been amazing. It’s a little pricey, but I highly recommend to anyone, vegan or not.
