Delicious!!!!!

Oh man was this place tasty! We had the Non-meat Lovers pizza (big enough to share) and the Tacos Al Pastor. I’m not sure which I liked better. So fresh and tasty and we can’t wait to go back. Nice atmosphere and wonderful service. Highly recommended.

Pros: Fresh and delicious , Nice atmosphere , Good service

Cons: On the pricey side

Wish there were more gluten-free options.

I was so excited to come here! There are only 2 vegan restaurants in Cabo San Lucas as I am staying w/friends about a 20-minute drive north in San Jose del Cabo where there are NO vegan restaurants.

The 3 of us ended up ordering the nachos w/the pastor on the side b/c 2 of us are gf and the pastor is seasoned w/soy sauce. With the pastor on the side, our non-gf friend ate that. I gave 4 stars b/c the dish was fabulous, artfully prepared and colorful.

We would’ve stayed & had full dinners but there was no way to make any of the other offerings gf. For ex., they had many pasta dishes but no gf pasta. They had a full selection of pizzas but no gf option for the pizza dough.

As a person who went to culinary school, this gf challenge is an easy fix. For ex., the Chef could use tamari or aminos as a substitute for soy sauce for the pastor. Have gf pasta & gf pizza dough available. People who aren’t gf would enjoy it just as well!

It’s important to note that when we arrived at 6 pm there were only 3 of us. A few moments later 2 others walked in. No one else was there. We left after sharing the app as we needed gf options. The other two diners never ordered and left due to no gf options. For such a small restaurant to lose business like that is a shame. I hope Chef rethinks his menu and fixes this.

On a positive note, if 2 of us weren’t gluten-free, I’m certain that the rest of the dishes would be as beautiful as the nachos were, you would have a wonderful experience at that restaurant.

Pros: Artfully prepared dish, Very sweet gal serving us. , Lovely atmosphere.

Cons: Only 1 gluten-free option by omitting the pastor

Great

We came here when they opened. They made us some cashew cheese based nachos with refried beans, & pico off menu. Quaint atmosphere with indoor, & outdoor seating. Ginger lime drink was refreshing. Restaurant offered to make my celiac friend a corn quesedilla with cashew cheese, but they had already decided to go elsewhere.

Pros: Ginger lime drink

Cons: Very limited gluten free options

I loved the dish and glad they were able to make the nachos gluten-free by leaving off the pastor.

Chef Crafted Best Vegan Food in Cabo

We were in Cabo for 3 days and encountered this restaurant via social media (Happy Cow and Instagram). We were staying at a hotel and were served mediocre and modified menu to make food vegan, like guacamole and roasted vegetables.

We were so happy to find Chef Mauricio’s crafted vegan dishes in a tiny, with good vibe, restaurant that we went twice in one day, brunch and dinner. The Chef is a converted 5-stars-hotels carnivore Chef to a vegan Chef because he was ill and then recovered due to his vegan diet. His creativity is to serve dishes at his restaurant so that non vegans will like them. That was proven here at The Best 100% Vegan Food in Cabo. Truly!

Whether you are in hotels or cruise ships in Cabo, wouldn’t you want the best vegan food and not just roasted vegetables?

Our group had Complete Breakfast Bowl, Breakfast Burrito, Quesadilla XXL, Chimichanga, Quinoa Pancakes, and organic juices for brunch. Then we came back for dinner to have Tacos Al Pastor, Tacos Asada, Tacos Baja, The Nonbeef Burger, Green Smokey Pizza, Nonmeat Lovers Pizza, and Watermelon Sorbet.

Everything was so delicious. Everyone in our group was raving the food and had such a memorable culinary experience. Thank you Chef!!!!!

Pros: Chef crafted vegan food, Taste and presentation , Chef’s creativity

Cons: Restaurant is small, Parking can be hard

Thank you so much for your detailed and heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that Chef Mauricio's creations left such a lasting impression on you and your group. It’s wonderful that you discovered us through Happy Cow and Instagram, and even more rewarding to know you enjoyed two meals with us in a single day!

Chef Mauricio takes great pride in crafting vegan dishes that appeal to everyone, whether vegan or not, and we're glad this was reflected in your experience. His journey from being a 5-star carnivore chef to embracing plant-based cuisine due to health reasons adds a personal touch to everything we serve.

We're delighted you enjoyed both brunch and dinner, and that the wide variety of dishes—from the Complete Breakfast Bowl to our Nonmeat Lovers Pizza—hit the mark for you. We’re especially happy to hear the food was not only delicious but also memorable for your group.

We appreciate your feedback about the size of the restaurant and the parking challenges. While we strive to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere, we understand it can be a bit tight, especially during busy times. Your kind words motivate us to continue providing the best vegan dining experience in Cabo!

Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit to Cabo! 🌱

Very impressed

I’m vegan and have been for 5+ years. I’m not easily impressed by vegan restaurants, especially outside of the USA, but this was impressive, the real deal! I ordered a lot of Food (leftovers for the hotel) and it was all very tasty. The prices were appropriate and not too expensive and the setting was comfortable and air conditioned. I honestly had a great experience. No complaints whatsoever. I highly recommend this restaurant

I recommend the burger, non meat pizza, tacos, cookie!!

Seriously Good Food

This place is amazing - it 100% lives up to its name. Whether you are vegan or not - it doesn’t matter - you will love the food here. We had the Tacos Al Pastor and the Smoky Alfredo Pizza. I have had a LOT of vegan tacos - and these were the best - and not by a little, by a landslide. The place is cozy, the owner is inspiring (take time to hear his story) and it’s just a must visit if you are in the Cabo area.

Appreciate more vegan option in cabo but inconsistent hours

**update- inconsistent hours- always call ahead- sometimes close without warning or posting on their social media. Also parking- even with their shared 5 care parking lot is near impossible. Twice I’ve tried to go recently and either not found parking or had them be closed. **the breakfast burritos are GREAT and so is the French toast. The daytime prices are also more economical. 100% a favorite for daytime and breakfast food.** I’m glad that there’s another vegan option in cabo (finally). I tried the nachos and an order of 3 tacos- the nachos were really delicious. The tacos were okay but pricey and I wish they would let you order individual tacos instead of just a plate of 3 of the same. I look forward to trying other things they offer. It’s not the best price/taste option in cabo but is certainly good and worth visiting when you’re willing to spend a little more.

Great food

Me and my girlfriend had the burger and the meatlover pizza, both tasted amazing! Mauricio had car trouble and arrived 30 minutes later than opening, but we did not mind waiting and he gave us an XXL chocolate cookie as compensation, greatly appreciated! We will be back again to support the vegan community here in Cabo😄

Best Vegan in Cabo

We had the Burger, Caesar salad and smoky Alfredo pizza. Everything was top notch.

The burger Patty is hand made in-house and was served piping hot. The sauce was very tasty! The Caesar salad dressing had great flavor and the croutons were delicious.

The crust on the Alfredo pizza was amazing! The menu said fermented 48hours. It was light and flaky and dusted with a garlic spice.

This is the best vegan option we’ve had in Cabo!

Truly Epic Food

Cabo San Lucas is not what I would call a "vegan friendly place." Our group of 14 travelers had several vegans in the ranks; we stumbled upon EPIC and several of us had an exceptional breakfast there. We made arrangements to return with 12 of our group members (carnivores and vegans alike) and everyone raved about their meals. A handful of the group returned for third and fourth meals!

Chef Mauricio is a wonderful person to speak with. Make sure to ask him about his journey to veganism.

Pros: Get the pizza -- they are all great!, Breakfast should not be missed, Lasagna was a big hit too

Epic!

Ok, the title is a little annoying… but the food is indeed epic. Chef Mauricio is making everything from scratch and serving them himself and trying to change everyone’s perception of vegan food.

We had the quesadillas (very big and delicious!), molletes (very very good!) for brunch and came back for dinner and had the pizza (amazing!). As you can tell, everything was great. If you like spicy, ask for the hidden arbol sauce too.

Such a gem in Cabo!

Pros: Everything!, Large portions, Decent price

Cons: Nope , Nope, Nope

Fabulous!!

This is a small storefront restaurant. There are only a couple tables so make sure you get one! My husband and I are vegan but we took a non vegan couple with us and we were all over the moon with our selections.
We started with a loaded nacho for the table. It was creamy, cheesy veggie goodness! We almost licked the plate!
My husband got the burger. He is a vegan of six months although he has tagged along with me many times. He was a little leery of ingredients but was delighted with the results! It was smoky and creamy, SO good!
I ordered the short rib tacos. The ribs were delicious the guac creamy and they were served with a tangy green salsa, delish!
My sister and her husband ordered the cheese pizza and garden salad. They loved it! The sauce is just the right amount of garlicky and the crust to die for! Light, fluffy and crispy, everything a pizza should be! The dressing for the salad particularly impressed them.
When we were getting ready to leave Chef Mauricio told my brother in law that they had only been open for a month! Well he nailed it. Don’t hesitate! Please support this local treasure!!

Edit: we loved this restaurant that a day later we went to try the breakfast menu. We each had breakfast burritos and were SO happy we did! We also had green juice and it was a wonderful meal leaving us feeling healthy and satisfied. Chef Alvarez has an amazing vegan story. He is definitely one to watch! We can’t wait to go back!

What a Find

What a find. Mauricio is a fine dining chef from Michelin Star restaurant. He became vegan and opened this amazing restaurant. Everything is made from scratch, herbs are grown on site, the flavor profiles are on point and the prices are reasonable. Even our carnivore friends raved about the food. You MUST EAT HERE when in Cabo San Lucas.

Pros: Outstanding food from a fine dining chef, Everything made from scratch in house, Friendly, small business atmosphere

Eat there now! Delicious food

I can’t express enough how great this place is. We have been in Cabo for a week and we have gone every day at least once but most days twice. The time and care put into the menu and the preparation of the dishes will amaze you. I am a long time stalker of happy cow and just registered to write this review. I have been vegan for several years and brought my non vegan family and they all had incredible things to say about the food. They even wanted to go back to try more dishes.

We didn’t get photos of everything we tried and our photos aren’t great but we are sharing them!

The family that runs this small restaurant are attentive and so sweet.

This is a must try restaurant if you visit or live in the area. I’m already planning a trip back to Cabo just to eat here again!

Pros: Portions are big, enough for 2 meals, Ceiling is fun in the evening, Wonderful family run business and nice people

Cons: Closed mid day so couldn’t eat 3 meals here

Thank you again for your support and lovely words about our family and restaurant.

Small restaurant with great character

Small restaurant. There are 14 seats inside with another 6 outside. Interesting decor of stormy clouds (cotton wool and lighting). Food is excellent. We tried a no meat lovers pizza and the ice cream of the month. Service is personal, friendly and attentive. Currently no english language menu but the owners speak english very well.

Pros: Pizza is excellent, great menu, Homemade ice cream, Only vegan restaurant in Cabo serving lunch
