Got the guac medium per previous instructions but still was bland (but fresh and fine). Mushroom tacos were quite oily and street corn plain was pretty good. Passable if you’re nearby and need to eat but not a gem by any means.

I had the Grilled Portobello with Impossible Chorizo and it was amazing. Recommend the blood orange margarita as well.

It seems the menu has changed since the older reviews here because I was basically told none of the entrees could be easily prepared without dairy. I was curious to try the mushroom huarache but was told the cheese is already mixed in and can't be removed. The waiter offered the mushroom enchiladas without sauce. However, there was some confusion as I was first given chicken enchiladas and then the correct dish but without modifications. At this point I didn't want them to waste more food so I ate around the cheese. Overall an unfortunate experience. The mushrooms were well prepared, though. My companion enjoyed their food and the (spicy) guacamole is recommended (it's not very spicy). This is not a bad restaurant but please reconsider coming here if you're specifically looking for plant-based options.

I also had the vegetales and couldn’t finish because it was so much food! Highly recommend.

Sent back to kitchen but new order was tasteless. Only positive was savings on cost.
