I had the carne asada burrito. It is huge. And delicious. You can't tell it's vegan. And the crispy fries add a little unexpected crunch. Half for lunch. Half for dinner. And I'll be back!

I thought...Mexican food Vegan? Why not, Let's try. Tucked away in a little strip mall. As we entered, the gentleman behind the counter said you can scan the QR code or use one of the two kiosk to order. Small with some seating decorated with Mexican flavor. As we waited for our order, they brought ice water. We ordered chips and salsa. The salsa was homemade for sure with roasted tomatoes and very good with a kick. When our main meal came..OMG!! Portions are large and The food was pleasantly surprisingly good. My husband said the mole in his meal reminded him of how his mom would make. The beyond meat used was very good. My dish with soy chorizo was amazing as well. We walked away full, happy and had left overs! We would recommend and will come back again!

Delicious! I ordered Phatties via DoorDash while I was at work, so I didn't get the chance to experience the atmosphere in person, but I'll have to stop by another time. The service was fantastic, and my food arrived fresh and exactly how I ordered it. I got the Taquitos De Papa (Potato Taquitos) with guacamole, and it came with a green salsa that was super tasty and had just the right kick. I'd definitely order this again.

Food is delicious! I love that everything is vegan so you don't have to worry about reading every single ingredient. There are so many options to choose from and it all consists of very flavorful ingredients. I ordered a Pambazo Plate which consists of a torta with soyrizo and potatoes (that's what I chose) but you can choose from many different fillings like chicharron, nopales con chile, and vegan adobada. It came with a chile tornado and fries. Next time I'd like to try the birria!

This is coming from a non-vegan, meat-eater. Overall, I think a vegan who's used to the flavors will really really love it! PARKING - Shared in a strip mall, so would probably be busy during dinner rush, but we were able to find parking no problem. FOOD - Pretty darn good for vegan food! The birria was alright. You can definitely taste, what I assume is, jackfruit. Favorite was the rice and potato tacos! Those were delicious. AMBIANCE - We went during off hours, so the workers were attentive, not busy at all. It was quiet and the place is clean. They have good amount of seating and the decorations are quite nice. SERVICE - You order either through their kiosk or at the register if you have questions. The lady was friendly and helpful. We ate in so they brought the food to us once ready. PRICE - As most vegan spots are, it was a bit on the pricier side, but understandable. You do get a lot of food so it's worth it. I recommend the spot for vegans to take their non-vegan friends.

My boyfriend found this restaurant on Yelp for lunch and when we arrived, we didn't realize this restaurant was 100% vegan! Vegan Mexican foods, what a nice surprise! It's located next to Tokyo Express in Mission Square in Escondido. There's a parking lot with quite a bit of stalls. We got different things on the menu to share with. We got the Surf & Turf Burrito, Beyond Steak Asada Burrito, and the Quesadilla with Chicharron. All the plates came with chips to snack with. We, for some reason, got a side of Chips & Salsa even with all the chips that came with our meals LOL. Wow, thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food! Everything was soooo good - I wouldn't have known the all the ingredients were vegan if I was given my food blindly! I feel that my favorite would be the quesadilla as there was a ton of flavor in there. But my burrito was equally delicious so I can't really choose. Yum! I couldn't fully enjoy the asada burrito experience as there was too much food for me. But my mom seemed to enjoy it! Even as leftovers, they were still really good (besides the soggy wrap). Overall, a pleasant unexpected surprise of vegan Mexican food. It was definitely a great experience and would love to come back for more if I'm ever craving Mexican up in Escondido. Great restaurant for vegetarians who want Mexican!

I don't usually eat vegan food but a friend recommended that we go here. The gorditas were delicious! It's interesting that you order from a kiosk and they bring the food to you. Cute decor with traditional Mexican paintings with a few more modern signs like "This kitchen is for dancing."
