I’m giving this spot a 5 star in comparison to other vegan spots I’ve visited. I don’t feel you can really compare a vegan restaurant with a normal spot fairly.
The staff are friendly, the vibe is trendy/hip and the food has a balanced flavor to it. It’s all in the sauce for spots like this where the meat substitute tends to be bland or mild.
We had the Guac Burger, Quinoa Taco Salad, and a side of air baked sweet potato fries.
The Guac Burger was pretty tasty. My initial bite was “ok”, but I was able to capture the wholeness of the burger once I dived in with my second bite. The mildness of the Black Bean patty was met with tanginess of the salsa and mouthwatering chipotle aioli. The burger doesn’t look like much but is packed with complimentary flavors.
The Taco Salad is mainly chopped romaine with taco fillings, but the sweet and sour of the dressing brings everything together very well.
The sweet potato fries are good while they’re hot, but I would recommend bringing your own ketchup if you’re not up for the unique taste of beet ketchup.
