We pass by Nomoo all the time and my wife and I decided to try it for our weekly lunch date. It's a small restaurant with only a bar to sit, but has a nice patio playing great music. I'm a meat eater, so my hopes weren't super high, but my wife is pescatarian. Occasionally she misses having a burger, but was so grossed out by the other popular vegan burger place in the area that she hasn't tried one for a while. This one was much better!

We went around 2pm on Friday, so the lunch rush was over. There were a few people eating and only 1 person in line before us. Service was pretty quick; food came in less than 20 minutes. They forgot our shake, so I had to go back in and remind them, but then it was out in about 5 minutes.
The tacos were good. Reminded me of Taco Bell. The shell texture was a little odd because it's like a hard tortilla with a soft one on the outside, but the soft one wasn't completely soft; so it was kind of chewy. But good overall.
The burger was good when you ate everything together. For a vegan, or someone like my wife who doesn't eat beef, it's a solid alternative. The patties are kind of mushy, so there was a texture issue, but flavor was solid. When I got to the last couple of bites of the burger without any tomatoes, lettuce, or onions to mask the flavor, I could definitely tell a major difference in the taste as compared to a beef patty. I couldn't finish the last bite, but that doesn't take away from the overall experience of a nice solid beef substitute.
Fries were very good. Cheesy, salty, a nice bite from the onion, and a delicious creamy sauce.
Even though I like oatmilk, the shake just wasn't that great to me. It had a strong oatmilk flavor and the cookies weren't the best. Didn't taste like Oreos (which are vegan), so would love a change to those if I went back.
Overall, this was a really solid lunch spot. If you're in the area and looking for a great vegan burger, make sure to check them out!
