We picked up two burritos not realizing this was a vegan spot and were pleasantly surprised!

Absolutely amazing! We had a tostada, taco, and burrito and were blown away by how fresh everything tasted. 10/10, thanks for being a vegan gem in Monterey.

The food here is really great and the menu is huge! There are many foods that are rarely found as vegan options, so it's a lot of fun for a vegan to try them. Service is friendly and fast food is made to order. The empanaditos are also very good, and the desserts are also very delicious. This restaurant is centrally located and can be busy at times. If the parking lot is full, there is usually free street parking just a block or two away.Vegetarian options: Restaurant is completely vegan

I found this place by accident and I must say it was a great accidental find! First of all, it is a vegan Mexican restaurant. Yes you read that right: a vegan Mexican restaurant!I had the nachos and the fish tacos. Delish. This place is highly recommended for anyone who is visiting Monterey California and wishes to try authentic Mexican vegan. Also enjoyable for the carnivorous folks. ?

The food is amazing! I love the chile relleno and the spinach enchiladas. I feel like I’m not vegan when eating here!

Loved the food here! There’s great variety of Mexican food and it’s all vegan, which is amazing! You can get tacos, burritos, flautas, mole, enchiladas and many more. It’s walking distance from the aquarium which is a plus. I highly recommend this location!

Absolute best vegan Mexican restaurant in the Monterey/Santa Cruz area! Ok, maybe the only one... But legit delicioso. Don't come expecting some "healthy" vegan food, this is full on vegan cheese and meats, tortillas and rice, flavorful and 100% vegan!My only complaint is that they aren't open on Saturdays, whyyyyyy

Some of the best vegan Mexican food I've ever had. The menu is enormous; everything sounds delicious so it's hard to decide what to get. So far I've ordered the grilled pineapple veggie burrito and the chikn enchiladas...so good. This is a must-visit when in Monterey. It's close to the aquarium too!

I love this place. It’s my favorite vegan restaurant in Monterey County. The food is so good I bet half the customers or more aren’t even vegan.
