The best vegan food in town. Not only is legit Mexican food but it tastes the same flavors cruelty free! So delicious if they have tamales you have to try them! The ceviche with heart of palms is so good. I’m serious try it all!

My girlfriend wanted to try it out so we decided to check it out she ordered the birria tacos I ordered 3 tacos. The birria tacos are amazing and I ordered carnitas tacos, a al pastor and a chicharon taco. Let me tell you they were amazing too the flavor and taste was amazing! The red salsa they provided was the cherry on top great heat and flavor. The also have other dishes will definitely return

I’ll get to the point. I shared an al pastor burrito and asada torta with my husband. The burrito was THE most flavorful and satisfying burrito I have ever had. Also loved the asada! While I’d love to try all of the other plant-based “meat” choices I might just come back for the Al pastor time and time again.

The most delicious vegan Mexican food I’ve ever had in my life!!!! I ordered the vegan burrito it’s bursting with flavor and huge in size. In short, a dream of a dish. And their vegan sauce… wow, just wow. Thank you for existing I’m always craving this. It’s perfect even for non-vegans because it’s just sooo tasty!!
