Disappointing

This place was recommended to me by someone in one of the local wineries as having excellent Mexican good. Unfortunately this was not my experience. I had the sopas - way too much carrot and hardly any flavour. And the guacamole was bland and had the consistency of soup. It does have vegan options, but I won’t be going back to try any more. The people working there are nice though.

Fredh veggies - veeeery helpful staff

Staff was extremly helpful and took a lot of time to help and explain us everything. Food was good and fresh veggies. It could be a bit more spiced. But all in all it was a good one and I would go again.

Pros: Fresh food, Handmade stuff (like tacos), Very friendly and helpful staff

Cons: expected A bit more taste

Pura Vida is the bomb!

Pura Vida is a local fave! They have vegan options and several dishes that can easily be made vegan with modification. Family owned, friendly staff, nice space.

Pros: pepitas salsa , enchiladas mole, piquillos

Plenty of options on menu to make a hearty vegan meal! Great veggie selection

Mixed veggies were potatoes, squash, and kale - hello! Waitstaff provided plenty of dairy/cruelty-free options, satisfying for vegans and non-vegans in our party.

Pros: Good salads, No lard in black beans, Creative veggies and quinoa on menu

Cons: If oil free, may opt for salad and beans

We Love this Place!

Pura Vida offered fresh food, consistent goodness and friendly staff. There are at least 5 items to choose from that are on their regular menu. Ask them to hold the dairy and it's no problem. Their nightly soup special, often it is vegan, usually a light and creamy vegetable or fruit puree. We eat here often as it is our only real choice in McMinnville.

Pros: Great Mojitos!, Regular menu items that are naturally vegan, great downtown location in McMinnville

Cons: there are no vegan items on the specials menu, it can be chilly, take a sweater
