Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Excerpts

Phenomenal birria tacos, Michoaacano (spicy beef and red onion) tacos, chips and guac, everything was delicious and perfectly done. Got the Tres Leches cake to go as well and it was definitely the best we’ve found in the area. This is our new favorite spot!

Absolutely delicious!! Good portions and reasonable prices. Tons of variety, including a completely separate vegan menu. Staff are super friendly. Highly recommend and will be back.

Amazing authentic Mexican food! I am so happy there is a vegan option for every item on the menu!! It’s such a great feeling to not have limited options and to actually experience all the traditional styles with different vegan alternatives. They also have meat options, so everyone in your group has something to choose from — love that. I really wish more restaurants would adopt this method! Everything I’ve tried so far has been phenomenal: • Vegan soyrizo Mexi-gyro: 12/10 🔥 • Vegan enchiladas: 10/10 • Vegan flautas: 10/10 • Vegan tacos • Cactus: 4/10 • Soyrizo: 6/10 (I don’t love tacos in general so that’s not on them) • Vegan asada fries: 10/10 The customer service is great, the items are affordably priced, and the staff is clearly very hardworking. You can tell they’re passionate about what they do and it really shows in the quality of the food. I’d LOVE to see a location open closer to where I live in Pleasant Hill or Altoona, but that’s just me being selfish because the food is that good. 😅
