"Finally! A great Vegan Mexican Food joint! I was able to see someone post on social media, and decided to drive out to give it a try! They had a huge selection for their Vegan menu! Best of all was that also had other selections as well! I want to apologize at first because the pictures I took of the food was after I plated them from a togo order, just to be a little safer from the COVID 19 craziness. I’ll make sure to take better photos next time! Food Cauliflower Taco Jackfruit Taco my wife was the one that got these, I tried a bite, and thought they were pretty nice but definitely spicy. I don’t know if there will be an option to get no spicy next time. I enjoyed it at least. Al Pastor Taco this was pretty good, well marinated and cooked, but I believe this may not be the same pastor you may expect from like a taco truck. Still pretty good. Vegan Fries this was quite good, we ended up getting half jackfruit and half cauliflower, but I believe next time we would just go w the cauliflower for more texture. Vegan Quesadilla this was by far one of my kids and our favorite dish. Had the nice little crunchy texture on the outside but loaded on the inside with vegan cheese. Everyone should give this a try. Again I’m glad we were able to try this place. There were even markers for people to stand, and everyone kept their distance with masks. Will be back, and will be aiming for those Nachos! Until next time !"

"Reading some of the previous reviews, my expectations were low, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The service was great. They filled up our chips and salsa almost immediately upon running low. They came by several times and asked if we neededanything, but not so much that it was annoying. The place was about half full, so not sure if that was a factor. Anyway, nothingto complain about there. The queso was great. I didn't have a can of Rotel dumped into it, but I actually prefer it that way.Rotel has a kind of metallic taste. If you want a Rotel like queso, just mix some salsa in and it's even better than Rotel. Thesalsa is top notch AND it comes warm which I love. The beans and rice were good. They seemed a little less salty than I'm usedto, but I prefer that as well. There's too much salt in everything already. If you want you can always add more. I tried thechicken quesadilla and while I thought the queso was little bland, my kid loved it. I got the pambazo which is a basically atorta with potatos and a teeny bit of chorizo, where the bread is slathered in something called red guajillo pepper sauce. Notmany places serve it, but it is really good. The one here was made in a way I'm not accustomed to. The ones I've had had theguajillo pepper sauce baked into the bread. Here, it was slathered on after the fact, making the bread wet. It still tasteddelicious, but you have to eat it with a fork and knife unless you're willing to make a huge mess, and there's no saving it forlater unless you're a fan of soggy bread. Maybe it's a regional variation? Not a big fan of doing this way, but like I said, itwas still good. Prices were not great, but not horrible either. All in all, really good. If this place was closer to my homeI'd come here often. For now this will be my pambazo place."

"Came here for a quick dinner on a Friday evening. They were pretty close to empty and we were able to order right away. Considering a lot of the ingredients are prepared fresh the tacos were served pretty quickly. I was attracted to visit here from the wide variety of unique taco options relative to what I've seen around town and my experience certainly lived up to that. I tried a turkey with sweet mole taco, pork with mole pipian taco, and a beef sope. The turkey with sweet mole immediately popped out to me as the most unusual taco option and I thought it tasted great! The meat was more rich and moist than you would expect from turkey, and the sweetness in the mole was subtle but you definitely notice it. The pork taco was also quite good, but was more distinct from other mole experiences than I expected. The chilles or seasoning used to make it a red mole were the most prominent part of the flavor and the richness from the mole was more in the background. I still liked it a lot, just different than I would have expected. The only downside with the tacos, and the reason I can't give them 5 stars, is they cost $4.20 when the size is more in line with what youd find for under 3$ at places of similar quality around town. The sope on the other hand was much more filling and my strongest recommendation if you are to give them a try. I had never tried before, but the fried corn dough as the base was fantastic, it almost reminded me of a mini ego waffle if it were made of corn. It's topped with pretty much everything you'd get from a standard taco here with a meat of your choice. In terms of bang for your buck, 2 of these cost much less than 3 tacos would and it's about as filling. Overall, I don't think you'll be dissapointed if they give them a try. However I wouldn't imagine this becoming part of my regular rotation if I lived in the area given its price relative to comprable options."
