Omnivore here, highly recommending this vegan gem. Got a hot tip that their nachos were delicious…and they were scrumptious. Exceed expectations of even non-vegan versions. Made with Juanita’s (best tortilla chips ever) and smothered with all the typical goodness in vegan form.
Don’t worry if the small indoor seating is full, there’s a nice heated patio with more seating in the back.
Will be back for one of their many margarita options!
Don’t sleep on this gem! Grab some yummy food asap!

The food was absolutely delicious! I had the curry tacos and they were insanely yummy. Loved the outdoor seating and super cozy even in the cold weather thanks to the heaters. Played the provided games for some nice family time instead of having our phones in our hands.

Potato salad and queso were out of this world. Vegan queso is rare, so this is very special. Tacos were OK. Four stars overall because we had to wait almost 30 minutes for our food (and we appeared to be the only customer).

Every item but 2 things at most on the menu were cauliflower based. I didn’t feel like cauliflower so ate queso with chips (decent spice) and corn chowder (spicier than queso). I’m vegetarian but personally wouldn’t return. I’m also never chose cauliflower at picnics would prefer other meat alternatives.

I had the curry tacos and they were amazing! Met the owner who is a delight!
Everything I’ve ever eaten here is delicious and fresh. Affordable. Owner and employees always have great energy and it’s a cool atmosphere with disco balls, a nice patio area, games, etc. They are also very environmentally conscious. Highly recommend.

Such a cute place. We ordered the nachos and the chickie-churri street tacos, and both were delicious! The service was nice and fast as well.

Super awesome healthy and tasty tacos! Seriously great food made from scratch and with love. The service was friendly and down to earth. The atmosphere is ultra comfortable with casual indoor seating as well as fun spacious backyard. I highly recommend this vegan gem. The crunchy vegan tacos are perfectly seasoned. And the chickpea tacos were delicious and filling. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu.

ALL VEGAN, GOOD QUALITY, AND GREAT HOSPITALITY!!!!
It is always refreshing when there is top notch customer service, especially in Portland Proper. I did not catch the persons name but this last Wednesday she was there ***hint to owner to give a bonus***
The atmosphere was great. It was seating in a covered patio. I would bring a jacket during the winter but that's an assumption. But it's eclectic and you have to watch out for a dinosaur plant. If you're taller like me you will bump your head into the branch that lays over the walk way. It's not a hard plant but it will give you a startle.
Now, for what matters, the food. It's good. The tacos are not traditional, so don't go here if you can't handle fancy tacos. I got the BBQ ones and they were so full of flavor! If you're a big texture person they have a hard taco option, as these were soft on the inside and outside. The watermelon gazpacho was interesting. It tasted great!!! But I wanted a straw as it was like spooning a savory aguafresca. The quesa was great as well. The only food item we didn't like was the Chipotle chorizo 'meat' on the Ceasars salad. It tasted like the soyrizo stuff (it is handmade just a simular taste and texture). The salad was good. It had a perfect blend of seeds and big crispy green kale. But overall 5 stars in food.
Finally the cocktails. We were skeptical as the mixes are pre-made in house.... but they were so flavorful! The mango margarita I recommend (my counterpart had 3). I loved the jalapeño Mojito it had spice but it wasn't overwhelming allowing it to still be refreshing! And the Mezcal based Poloma was good, but if you don't like smoke flavor avoid as the Mezcal used is ultra smokey (which I liked).
Overall this place is a must go to in my book. I was surprised we were alone when we were there. They have a small menu but everything we had we liked.
Vegetarian options: All vegan and they have quality vegan queso!!!
Parking: The main street and all the side streets had plenty of available parking spots.
