Sadly Disappointed - Edit
Super nice guy, and everything sounded delicious, but unfortunately we didn't like any of it. We were super excited to try it and got a lot, but I couldn't recommend any of it other than it was vegan food if you needed to eat in a pinch.
Read moreThe chimichanga tasted like bland mush.
The pita BBQ tacos were probably the best of what we got but I didn't love the BBQ, and the mushrooms were chewy.
The guac was good, but the chips tasted stale!
The curry taco bowl was also pretty bland, but I liked the curry rice.
The avocado cheesecake tasted very strongly of avocado, wasn't sweet, and the texture wasn't great. I was done with it after a bite.
I had a breakfast burrito previously that was ok, also pretty bland. Now I know that it wasn't just a one time thing.
Most of it just seems like bland cauliflower and broccoli with either too little sauce or under seasoned ingredients.

Pepe is one of the nicest people on the planet and the food speaks for itself! Do yourself a favor and anytime you're in Lincoln, make sure you stop in. If not for the food, stop in for the supportive and creative atmosphere!

Simple and delicious - Edit
Visited a few months ago and got the burrito and some enchiladas. The burrito was super simple but so so good. It was like something my mom would make. I cried a little. Ride your bike here for a little discount and the full experience of having a crazy delicious healthy and filling meal at your friend’s house after a long day of playing outside. Thank you Pepe! I hope to be back someday.

So excited to find a vegan spot on my vacation. Small menu based on what is locally available. We split the Chile relleno, bbq burrito, and taco curry. It was all fantastic!

Low-Guilt Feel-Good Place - Edit
Many vegan/vegetarian entree, side, dessert, and drink options in a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. Plant-based books and magazines on all the tables, flyers for upcoming events plastered on the front windows, and local art on the walls made me feel like I belonged.
Read morePros: Very friendly worker, Easy to order and pay, Even easier to enjoy
Cons: In a part of town I'm not usually in, Constantly busy, which is arguably a pro, Limited options available the day I went, but okay

Nice people - great food! - Edit
Love the fresh vegetables, beans, herbs and spices. It always smells so good when you walk in. My daughter and I split a black-bean sandwich with fresh veggies and homemade sauce that was awesome-and huge! We also split a dish of vegan nachos with beans, guacamole, vegan cheese and salsa that wasn't even on the menu, but Pepe made up just for us (really a sweet guy-and great cook) Sometimes they have entertainment too :)
Read morePros: they now take VISA, Friendly staff, Healthy and fresh real food

great food, but no raw menu - Edit
The menu was quite small, and little to no grain-free options. She seemed bemused when I asked about a raw menu (none, apparently). I drove out of my way to find some raw food and came up empty, but we did eat some delicious local mexican-inspired dishes, with plenty of raw greens on the side.
Read morePros: fresh local greens
Cons: no raw menu

Wow - Edit
I heard multiple people in the restaurant exclaim, how great the food was, and couldn't believe it was vegetarian. I ordered vegan style and it was just as exceptional.
