I have to sadly give 3 stars for the food here, but the service and welcoming atmospheric definitely give the boost to 4. Let me say I'm not a HUGE fan of "meat replacement" for vegans. I'd rather have plant based. I don't like fried food at all, it doesn't make me feel good. But my daughter LOVES Mexican food and was dying to go. We kind of just had an impromptu Mom/daughter afternoon and she chose this for late lunch/early dinner.
We got nachos with (I THINK,) Al Pastor. I liked them okay. They were very greasy, chips, sauces and the "fake meats." As I said, I'd rather keep it simple and fresh but we wanted to experience this spot we had heard raved about.
We had Asada Quesadillas, which I REALLY disliked because they were actually DRIPPING WITH grease. (Which you can see in the picture where I'm holding a slice.) My daughter liked them the best so I had one and was done. Because that much grease equals a very unhappy tummy for me!
We also got two of the tacos. We got the Pollo (soy curls,) and the Frijoles. Thank goodness these were my daughter's least favorite because they were my favorite. The tortilla itself was a lovely texture. Floppy but thicker than a flour tortilla and a BIT chewier. I really enjoyed it. Because I really dislike plain corn tortillas. These Nixtamal tortillas were delish!! The Pollo was a great flavor and the frijoles as well. It lacked texture in the actual taco for me though. Like a bright vegetable mix, cabbage, peppers, salsa? I don't know. So just okay.
The drinks we enjoyed were delicious. I had a margarita, which was delicious. And she had an Agua Fresca and it too was delicious.
As I said, the atmosphere is VERY welcoming and we wanted to support a business that welcomes everyone. Especially when they welcome Trans POC to eat FREE. That's awesome!!!
The young guy who took our order came and checked on us several times and was very friendly. That added kindness got me to 4 stars since to me it was all a bit just OKAY.
