They have a bathroom but do not allow customers to use it, which is against health department codes! Additionally, the person working there was not very responsive.

It's tasty, fresh, and fast. The guac is extra. It's fine to offer guac but let the customer know it's extra before you nearly dallop it on. Server had the scoop ready before I said yes and stopped when I asked if it was extra.

A lovely vegan restaurant in Santa Barbara. Fresh food. Amazing flavor and awesome service. I can’t say enough how good the nachos were. If you’re in Santa Barbara, make your way to this spot!!

Awesome vegan spot! It's a vegan chipotle and better!!! I got the nachos with the vegan sour cream and it was fantastic. My mom got a bowl and she said she would love to go back! My dad got the burrito and said it was good though it fell apart a bit but it was really good he said! The guy behind the counter was really nice!

Strange place, terrible food. Burrito fell apart. Too wet to eat and cost $20. Will never eat here again :(

The Carne asada burrito was pretty good but chorizo nachos are the BOMB! a must try even if you're not vegan!!
Nora
Best vegan nachos I've ever eaten <3 Super relaxed atmosphere, would recommend it :)
Monika Skalak
I've ordered a bowl with additional guaca and it was delicious! 10/10 recommend this place. A great mix of fresh, spicy and fullfilling food.

I really like this concept but the execution was lacking. Boyfriend and I both got bowls. His vegan carnitas (might have been something else) were good but I ordered the vegan chicken and I think they gave me the wrong meat. Whatever I got, thinking it was steak, was rubbery and flavorless. Overall both bowls were kind of mushy and mine especially had an odd flavor. Highlights were that they put a lot of guac and it's very yummy and the size of the bowls is more than enough. I think if I could taste each topping to see what I wanted to put together, or maybe if I ordered a burrito instead of the bowl, I'd like this place better.
Great food!!!!! Inside feels a little too much like a subway and I'm just not into it. Other than that though it is amazing. Hoping the ownership has changed since the scandal... I don't really like financially supporting would-be murderers but the nachos are bomb.

A nice build your own Vegan Mexican restaurant. Right away we noticed that the menu was concise and easy to understand. We got exactly what we wanted and the food was served hot. We got the nachos and burritos and I'm a non vegan and this food tasted just as good as Mexican food that has meat in it. The service was incredible the young lady behind the counter was personable and made the whole ordering experience easier with her help. The stand out thing here was the portion size!! You get so much food and you're almost certainly going to have leftovers. Having all that food sometimes you lose flavor but here you don't!! Would definitely recommend this place.

The food was pretty tasty. I had the vegan carne asada burrito. I came in and there was no one. I rang the bell and no one came. I almost left, before the guy came out. When I asked for a cup of water, I was told the "water is broken" and I needed to buy Kombucha. Okay dude. Anyway, if $13 for a burrito is okay, then I think this is a fine place to dine. The seasoning on the food was good. Given how dead they were, I'm a bit worried about how everything was pre-cooked, in terms of freshness. It was like plant based Chipotle. I just think the service could be better, and the value isn't quite there.

The best way to describe this place is "eh". The pictures and food looks amazing but the protein substitutes need more flavor. "Más sazón ! ( seasoning/flavor). Also the tortillas need to be heated up a little more as my tacos fell apart from all the juices. Seems like the guy working there was in a rush the whole time, even though there wasn't anybody waiting behind us. Not to mention his non welcoming personality. Had his customer service been better, I would of given this guy a tip. Manager should definitely do a customer service check on this guy and probably add some more flavor to the food !

The food is average. We got the loaded nachos and tacos. Not fans of the fake meat, so we just subbed it with carbs. The spicy sauces are really spicy, so beware.
