“Came here with a 4 other coworkers for lunch. This is my to go place, a vegan-only restaurant close to my work and probably the only one close by to San Jose airport area. So I suggested this place to my coworkers.Charlene greeted us and provided us with the menu and also gave us suggestions about what is very popular. She was an excellent host! Thanks for snapping our group picture as well!This place is small but very cozy. There is probably enough seating for maybe 15 or so people indoors and several more outdoors.Food is very delicious.I love that there are so many options here from Italian cuisine (pasta, etc), to American (burgers, fries), boba, ice cream and so much more.I always enjoy supporting such excellent vegan only, cruelty free businesses and would definitely recommend this one to others in this area.Vegetarian options: It’s vegan only so think of it as vegetarian but without dairy and honey and all that jazz.Dietary restrictions: Vegan only restaurant. They also have no onion and non garlic items marked on the menu.Ask the owner about any other allergies or restrictions like gluten or nuts.Parking: This is in a shopping complex so parking is very easy to find.Kid-friendliness: They have kid friendly menu options: like waffles, ice cream and the like.“

“Açaí what you did there! Experience (3.5/5 stars): *Food: built my own custom bowl w/ the raw base, bananas, blueberries, sliced almonds, and cacaos. Wished they had unlimited toppings like at Palmetto. *Service: can either order on the machine on side or at the front *Ambiance: nice but can be dirty if people don't clean after themselves Overall, I'd recommend coming here for a light lunch! I'm hoping to try the drinks next time.“

“I was tromping around the mall a few days ago, waiting for my apple appointment (not the produce, the IOS kind, for clarification ) when I had an overwhelming desire to soupersize my day. First of all, if you are a proper fan of this style of soup you already know how delicious it was just based on that picture. It was double tied and piping hot when I finally arrived home. I ordered it with no noodles, extra veggies and a few packets of soy sauce. The imitation bouf, york and rimp were so i tasty and lean with very generous portions! 1/3 of that container at least. Food after the mall is always so gratifying that I decided to subject myself to another outing today and see if I had romanticized the whole meal.I didn't! Bonus! It's right by the exit so you can call ahead while you're walking over and make a quick getaway. P.s. those aren't actually what they call the protein but I would really appreciate if we could make that a thing“

“I've been to a few functions at Moose Mountain Vineyards (so atmosphere goes without saying that its 5 star!) where I believe they are the exclusive caterer. While I've been mostly vegan for a few years now, I am still intrigued by what restaurants and caterers create. We are all trained to believe that we aren't getting protein unless there is a dead animal on our plates ~ and its hard to convince meat eaters of this. I'm mostly vegan by choice and don't miss meat. However, I challenge you to bring your meat eater to a function where they are catering, or have them cater your Super Bowl party, in fact - I double dog dare you.Have them serve up a table full of these nachos picture in the middle ~ don't tell a soul its vegan. They. Won't. Know. The. Difference.If they haven't completely devoured the nachos, have them take a bite into a Coxinhas (pretty sure they are in the 3rd photo). They'll think it's a warm chicken salad fritter or maybe they'll think it's a crabcake pouch , but shhhhhhh, it's jackfruit and it melts in your mouth so divinely you've eaten five before you realize you have to leave some for the other people there! (True story, I was devouring them). There's accoutrements that add to these dishes too (see pictures) - fresh salsas, etc along many other dishes that I've tried. In fact there's one with butternut squash (I think) served over rice that is insanely delicious. All I know is you'll find yourself asking the chef: how'd you make this? What's in that? I can't believe this tastes so good! And you won't be disappointed in the slightest. EVER.“

“First time trying the tacos and restaurant in general I'll only say I loved the "fish" taco 10/10 but not so much the mushroom one it tasted a little off like not too fresh but it might've been also because it took me 15 later after it was ready I'm sure I'd say it was a 6/10“

“My love for the Veggie Grill/Más Veggies Baja Fish Tacos has been an emotional roller coaster. I'm allergic to fish but I miss fish tacos so much so when Veggie Grill came out with the Baja Fish Tacos, I was one happy girl.Then, Más Veggies appeared and they changed my beloved Baja Fish Tacos - they cut them up into little squares and they were just terrible. Heartbroken, I gave up on them.Then, one day when I was craving faux fish tacos so badly that I was willing to eat the inferior version, I ordered them on a whim and they had reverted back to their tasty version!So, bottom line, if you are allergic to fish and miss fish tacos, I highly recommend the Baja Fish Tacos with the green sauce. The chips are hit or miss, sometimes they are good, sometimes they are stale. But, at least for now, the fish tacos seem to be solid once again.“
