For a Vegan I DO RECOMMEND IT, for a carnivore like me, it is pleasant, a good choice to satisfy our hunger.

I just don’t get-I’ve had much better vegan food. Had some tacos and the nachos- lacking serious flavor and a nightmare texture. Really let down by the close to 5 star ratings and the food YouTubers dancing for this place.

The food is so good, you forget that it’s plant-based, except you don’t have a “heavy” feeling when you leave.

This is my favorite vegan Mexican spot. They have the best food and it’s fairly affordable considering it’s vegan. I always get the Al Pastor burrito, cause it’s packed with flavor. They have other amazing items, but I tend to stick with my go to option that I listed. Overall, I am never disappointed when I go here, cause for the price the burritos are huge.

I’ve heard so many great things about this restaurant. I really wanted to love it but unfortunately I did not. It’s just OK with a lot of plant-based meat piled on everything and not a lot of fresh veggies at all. I think they could add some fresh into the mix it would be a lot better, I had the jackfruit burrito and a quesadilla but I didn’t want a big pile of plant based meat on a quesadilla so I just did cheese and jalapeño.I’m sure there are many people that love it it’s just not my style. I love Mexican with a tons of fresh veggies. The only thing fresh in my choices was purple cabbage.

I came here, hungry, a few years ago. I’m not vegan and actually missed the fact this was a plant based restaurant when I researched the place while in the area. Absolutely great food. I’ve gotten only the “Al pastor” burrito. Huge BTW. Not much in the way of ambiance but the people at the counter have been very friendly and cheerful each visit. Top notch vegan, top notch Mexican Food.

I ADORE this joint. The most delectable food I have ever had the pleasure of having. The Al pastor burrito is the size of a small infant and weighs as much. It takes me three portions to finish. The tacos are finger licking good and the service is phenomenal. Can’t wait for them to have other locations too. Thank you for bringing your amazing food to the valley. ❤️❤️❤️Vegetarian options: It’s vegan. And amazingParking: It’s in a strip mall. Plenty parking
