Met Daniel the GM this evening and he was pleasant . Shared a little about why we enjoyed the location and it was taco Tuesday so had a great time with my wife. Everything was fresh and tasting so delicious. We have made Gracias Madre a part of our outings when we can make the time for date nights

We went for a family dinner to celebrate an anniversary. Food was amazing, and every dish had it's own delicious flavor! The service was fantastic! The waiter paid particular attention to the children in iur party. He has added the extra bit of personalized attention that makes for a truly memorable evening. We will definitely be back!!

The ambiance is amazing, service was great, but food just fell a little flat for me. The guacamole app was probably my favorite thing! The drinks were also delicious! I was just expecting more flavor from the food.

The friendly greeting at the door, an excellent waiter and tasty food made for an enjoyable early evening dinner. A special thank you to waiter Gabriel who cheerfully answered questions, made suggestions, and ensured we were happy, even assisting having the music turned down slightly, so our table of six could enjoy the ambiance and hear each other too. We'll definitely be back.

We took our vegans out for a birthday dinner and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Restaurant is welcoming, good ambiance. We went on Sunday and the crowd was light so it was very quiet and enjoyable. Food was enjoyed by all, even us meat eaters. Many lovely flavors. Server was enthusiastic and helpful but we would have appreciated seeing him a bit more for refills, etc. My only gripe is that this place is coastal and the large doors to the nice outside dining area were wide open. It was chilly for a mid-Feb evening, even eating inside. We will go back.

Nachos were amazing.

Slow service for just appetizers and two rounds of drinks. Our drinks sat at the bar for longer than necessary. I went to the bar and retrieved our drinks. We'd actually finished our appetizers at the table so we had the bar tender ring out the table and we had our second round at the bar. We made it work. Also, the bar staff was not too friendly.
Cozy spot with yummmy foood , glad they brought back the happy hour on tuesdays ! obsessed with the taquitos , tried the new asada fries . and ended it with the taco flight !! BEST
We had a great time at Gracias Madre. Love having so many delicious, vegan options, and being able to eat Mexican Food without feeling sluggish and bloated after all of the cheese and not so good fats. Elton, our waiter, was a delight. Good service, very nice and fun to talk to. Great night.

Overall good experience but not the quality I'm use to from there. Rice was hard and food was incorrect twice. Unfortunately it was some of my guests first experience. I will still return but wish they had a better first impression

This vegan sit down restaurant is just a great way to end a family vacation! The food is delicious!!! The outdoor seating is really pretty. There music outside was a little loud. The service was great, out waitress was so kind and attentive and we had 4 kids in our party and she was patient with them! Highly recommend!!!!

Server negatively affected overall experience. Server asked if this was our first time dining here. We said yes. Server responded "You know this is a vegan restaurant" in an off-putting tone. We did know that and then asked about the menu. Server response was "What do you want to know?" Not very helpful for first time customers. Food came quickly and was freshly prepared and hot. Server did not check in with us after that. It was challenging to get their attention. Would describe overall service as bare minimum effort which caused us to not enjoy the food or overall dining experience. Not likely to return.
I'm not vegan but my gal is. enjoy the creativity and taste of the selections . Excellent drink selection and service is stellar. Ambience and decor is fascinating. Give it a try meat lovers
