Reviews
Such a cute restaurant! Definitely some IG worthy spots. Plenty of parking and space to sit. Very friendly service and the food came out fast. The birria tacos were SO good. The best vegan ones I've had. Ate them so fast, I didn't even get a chance to take a picture. Also got the mango fresa agua - yum. Coffee cake to go was a huge size and tasted like a churro pastry! It was great with coffee the next morning. Overall, highly recommend.
I wanted to clear up what an earlier reviewer said- this restaurant actually DOES have gluten free options. When I called, the waitress said that everything besides the flour tortillas is gluten free. I got a fiesta bowl with jackfruit barbacoa and it's flavorful, and the portion is HUGE. Definitely will order again!
Finding a good plant-based restaurant or grocery store in my area proved a bit challenging, but I stumbled upon a gem in Downey! I decided to treat my best friend to dinner and drinks. The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered gorditas, guacamole, and nachos. I had a margarita, and my friend enjoyed her nachos with a refreshing cucumber drink. We also purchased a cup of *Champurado* to go, after sampling it - and it's truly exceptional. My gorditas featured a delicious mushroom "meat" and soy chorizo. The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.
This quickly became one of our go to places when we moved to Norwalk. The food is definitely and has large servings. Everyone is always sweet and the restaurant is clean and has a very cool ambiance. You can ask to sample the different proteins before ordering which was really nice since I can be really picky while trying new vegan meats. The chicken is my favorite. Super juicy and tasty. The staff is great.
Loved the food! Loved the customer service! I tried their protein blend and it was delicious. I am thankful they introduced me to a vegan healthy protein that they use. Now I know what to buy and try to blend on my own at home. Not sure if it'll come out as good, but I am happy they shared what they use. The ambiance was lovely and well decorated. I will be a returning customer for sure.
