Sravanti TekumallaMay 24, 2018The flautas are excellent, but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. Great food but spotty service.
Kayliegh BarnesJune 29, 2013Peach habanero margarita, Quesadilla appetizer and chilequiles FTW! Had no idea it was vegan when I arrived. Perfect 10. My date got some big point for bringing me here :)
X-tina 🦄December 17, 2018The drinks are legit and worth the $$. The pozole was delicious and so tasty 😋
heidi harmanJanuary 6, 2016Dont be scared by the 'vegan' - this place serves some of the better testing juices, smoothies and burgers!
Florence WongJuly 22, 2016Everything! Portions were filling, ingredients were fresh and healthy, drinks were well made, taste buds were astounded.
Emily FinleyMarch 20, 2016Totopos and tacos were good, if overpriced. The family style seating is bizarre. Our four person group sat at a six person table with a couple on a date.
Ying K.K.November 16, 2015Vegan, Mexican, organic, gluten free... Something else? Oh yeh, what about spicy? Good place, high price, very crowded by evening.
Easily the top 3 best Mexican food places in the city. And vegan to boot!
Ali AndersonAugust 21, 2014Unique in that the menu is completely vegan - the plantain tacos and sweet potato quesadilla were worth the trip. The service however is mediocre. Community seating.
Samantha ScottDecember 23, 2018Amazing food, super busy, great service. We loved it (My 2 friends were carnivores!)
Sometimes "good vegan food" transcends & becomes just really damn good food. I'm not a vegan but I'll be back. A lot.
Michael DempseyAugust 1, 2014Tortillas and Guacamole > Chips & Guac. Even though its vegan, its amazing Mexican food in the Mission.
KEMarch 5, 2018Gets super crowded and they don’t take reservations! Awesome vegan Mexican in a homey space.
Deborah LaksNovember 7, 2015Delicious vegan Mexican! Try the squash quesadilla and the sweet potato taco. Yum!
Sherry Lin-BrownOctober 1, 2010The dessert portions are pretty enormous -- would recommend sharing. Had the chocolate cake...very light flavor, heavy on the cinnamon, with coconut icecream on the side. Highly recommend!- Rem KoningApril 23, 2015The only vegan food where I haven't missed the meat and dairy. Tasty and rich salsas.
Amber LarsonJune 5, 2014Amazing food! Even if you eat meat you will enjoy this cuisine. Absolutely marvelous Mexican flavor.
Rom ComOctober 22, 2014Try their vegan desserts and vegan wines (ask them to tell you what makes them vegan).- Deborah LaksNovember 7, 2015Delicious vegan Mexican food. Try the squash quesadilla and the sweet potato tacos. Yum!
ViaggiatriceApril 15, 2019Wonderful, creative vegan food. Margaritas to die for. I went twice in my three days in SF.
Kim WynnDecember 30, 2010Loved the food! Atmosphere is friendly and warm. Definitely order the butternut squash quesadilla. My non-vegan husband enjoyed everything he ate. We'll return for sure.
Iris van den BergJanuary 8, 2016Super vegan Mexica food! Love the 'chorizo' and the cinnamon ice cream :)
David ☕️ KleinAugust 7, 2014I used to think vegan food was ridiculous. Then I came here. Highly recommend. Seriously.
Cassandra ClarkFebruary 18, 2018I love the food but the service is always a miss. Often treated like you should be privileged to eat here.
Jenna RichardJuly 8, 2013Amazing food! Must try the sweet potato quesadilla and the sangria. To die for!- Markus AarstadOctober 18, 2014There’s no shortage of fantastic Mexican food in San Francisco, but this vegan cantina is unique.
- Kath CastApril 4, 2016Cocktails not worth the price, tasted good but little to no booze. Sweet potato plates and cauliflower app were great. Nice light meal.
Abhishek KonaAugust 14, 2014It is great vegan food. But still vegan food. The place is very chill and relaxing
mikey ruizFebruary 21, 2012Try the Platillo De Legumbres Con Honjos Y Nabos - Roasted turnips and mushrooms with all the fixings for a taco fiesta.
Dhaval BadianiSeptember 10, 2016Try quesadilla and ceviche in the appetizers menu and flan for dessert
Gregg HananoNovember 28, 2013Warning: this place is vegan only. Which is fine if you like vegan food. But it's not fine if you go in thinking you're gonna get a fat burrito filled with al pastor.
Christian DickmannMarch 26, 2016Loved the bowl dos and strawberry margarita. The whole place was great and I will be back to try more.
- mikey ruizFebruary 21, 2012Try the Ensalada De Persimo - This tasty friend has hazelnuts, beet and persimmons with a sprinkle of queso blanco.
Don't fear the vegan-ness of the posole. It's delightful. Also the server recommended adding a spoonful of the salsa verde to the guac to up the spicy. So good!
Bryan KellerNovember 8, 2018I guarantee you their quesadilla is microwaved - lukewarm with pockets of cold. Absolutely disgusting, especially at those prices. Fortunately, our meals were taken off of the bill. Drinks were great.
- Lears FoolNovember 11, 2015One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in SF - just happens to be vegetarian...
