Amazing vegan Mexican food. The Nopales are awesome, and you have to try the Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream.
Florence WongJuly 22, 2016Everything! Portions were filling, ingredients were fresh and healthy, drinks were well made, taste buds were astounded.
X-tina 🦄December 17, 2018The drinks are legit and worth the $$. The pozole was delicious and so tasty 😋
Wilson Favre-DelerueSeptember 4, 2016Cruelly disappointing: too many flavours, too rich and heavy, too spicy. Fabulous guacamole and nachos though!
Easily the top 3 best Mexican food places in the city. And vegan to boot!
P ZJuly 31, 2012The corn. It's like no corn you've ever had before: chewy, sticky, earthsome, sweet. Perfectly roasted and covered with a phenomenal sauce.
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.
José AyalaJune 8, 2015Be careful with the Gracias Madre red wine, kind of strong. The vegan tacos are very tasty, but y have to like spicy food
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.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The squash quesadilla is the best vegan food in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition."

Sometimes "good vegan food" transcends & becomes just really damn good food. I'm not a vegan but I'll be back. A lot.
Amber LarsonJune 5, 2014Amazing food! Even if you eat meat you will enjoy this cuisine. Absolutely marvelous Mexican flavor.
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.
Sravanti TekumallaMay 24, 2018The flautas are excellent, but you really can’t go wrong with anything here. Great food but spotty service.
Samantha ScottDecember 23, 2018Amazing food, super busy, great service. We loved it (My 2 friends were carnivores!)
Deborah LaksNovember 7, 2015Delicious vegan Mexican food. Try the squash quesadilla and the sweet potato tacos. Yum!
KEMarch 5, 2018Gets super crowded and they don’t take reservations! Awesome vegan Mexican in a homey space.
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.
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.
Rom ComOctober 22, 2014Try their vegan desserts and vegan wines (ask them to tell you what makes them vegan).
heidi harmanJanuary 6, 2016Dont be scared by the 'vegan' - this place serves some of the better testing juices, smoothies and burgers!- Markus AarstadOctober 18, 2014There’s no shortage of fantastic Mexican food in San Francisco, but this vegan cantina is unique.
- Deborah LaksNovember 7, 2015Delicious vegan Mexican! Try the squash quesadilla and the sweet potato taco. Yum!
Abhishek KonaAugust 14, 2014It is great vegan food. But still vegan food. The place is very chill and relaxing
Iris van den BergJanuary 8, 2016Super vegan Mexica food! Love the 'chorizo' and the cinnamon ice cream :)- 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.
- Lears FoolNovember 11, 2015One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in SF - just happens to be vegetarian...
Lauren ColmanJanuary 10, 2015It is not free seating at the bar. Gotta put your name in and wait your turn.
David ☕️ KleinAugust 7, 2014I used to think vegan food was ridiculous. Then I came here. Highly recommend. Seriously.
Michael DempseyAugust 1, 2014Tortillas and Guacamole > Chips & Guac. Even though its vegan, its amazing Mexican food in the Mission.
Dhaval BadianiSeptember 10, 2016Try quesadilla and ceviche in the appetizers menu and flan for dessert
Jenna RichardJuly 8, 2013Amazing food! Must try the sweet potato quesadilla and the sangria. To die for!

"From the dinner menu, a 3-Item Sampler is a great choice. In particular, Grilled Cheese Bites (w/ tomato soup!), Tater Tots + Cheese, and BBQ Chicken Strips... Easily feeds two hungry people."
