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

My husband and I decided to try this place out for dinner after being in the area. I absolutely love this place! They have great prices and the portion sizes are huge. I can easily have a few meals out of one meal from there. Their cornbread that comes with the combo meal is amazing! The food is so good, the atmosphere is uplifting/happy, the staff are friendly and quick, excellent place all around. I highly recommend.

In town for a skating event. Randomly looked up restaurants near my hotel. Seeing their pictures and other reviews sold me. Upon arrival I was greeted right away. Everyone was friendly and wanted to make sure I was taken care of. The food was great. Now I'm not vegetarian, but I didn't feel like eating any meat, so I had a vegetarian enchilada which came with rice and beans. They had a decent amount of options for vegetarians, now if you're vegan I don't know. I also ordered queso dip to go along with my chips. That queso had a good consistency and the regular salsa that came with the chips was good. The only thing I will say is the vegetarian enchilada said it came with avocado sauce on top, now I don't know if I misread the menu or what but I'm pretty sure it said that, but when I got my food, the sauce on top was white. I believe it was queso. I informed the server. I saw him take the menu to the cook to discuss it. Soon after another server brought over freshly cut avocado. I think there may have been some confusion or maybe they realized their mistake and gave me the avocado as a substitution for the sauce. I love avocado so I'm not complaining, I made it work. The atmosphere was great. I went around 5ish on a Saturday and it was raining really hard so it's probably why they weren't busy at all. That being said, the noise level was very low even with a few groups nearby. Now the desserts were great. Whenever I go to Mexican establishments I usually order flan, but unfortunately I didn't see it on the menu. I had a hard time choosing, so I ordered the churro cake to eat there and a tres leches cake to go. That warm churro spice cake paired with the ice cream and whipped cream was too good. It was really sweet though, but the ice cream helped to combat it. I enjoyed the tres leches cake 2 days later and it was really good. My food and dessert all came out in a timely manner. It also helps that they give chips and salsa automatically upon being seated. Whenever I come back to town for another skating event, I will definitely come back to this place, and hopefully bring others with me. I hope to try their fried ice cream next time around. Also before I forget, the portion size was good too. I was able to bring home leftovers.

The chips are crispy and the salsa is decent (a few little chunks of onion, which I enjoy). The queso had a great flavor and was the perfect consistency. Portions here are HUGE. My daughter and son could have shared the dinner portion of Chicken on the Beach. I got the Tacos Alhambre, which were good but could have used a touch more steak, but this could have been because I asked for pineapple 🍍 to be added. Other than that, the mixture tasted great, but I also wish the tacos had been plated standing upright rather than open faced. (The open faced design meant that the tortillas got a little soggy from the filling mixture and fell apart, so I ended up using a fork and knife.) My hubby got the enchiladas enmolada - 3 shredded chicken enchiladas with a mole sauce, black beans, and rice. The mole sauce had a good flavor but was a thin consistency - it would have been more flavorful if the sauce had been thickened.
