Damn good food

Wasn’t expecting much coming here but was blown away by the taste. Phenomenal food. Seasoned amazing. The sauce was to die for. Tacos with so much in them you can barely hold them. 👍

Pros: FREE PARKING!!, Cozy vibe, Clean bathrooms

So happy I found this place!

This food was amazing!! Such a unique menu with traditional Yucatecan food as well as interesting fusion items. I got the L.A. Brat Burrito. Delicious! The interior is super cute with Mayan decor and handmade pillows. It is family run and they are super friendly. Highly recommend!

Great Food, Great Service

I went for something of a taste test and got the Spicy Beach Taco. It was delicious, very spicy, and all in all a great experience.

Love this food - my new fav go-to place!

Wasn’t expecting it to be so good and they have such a different menu compared to other vegan places, specializing in Mexican.

Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08

Pros: Great food, not your average Mexican food , Mindful of people with allergies and welcoming, Such a nice family owned place

Cons: Wish they had a bigger place, Wish it was a little more home-like or moody

Phenomenal service, met the co-founder/owner who was so friendly! Ordered the Watermelon Mint Agua and Three Taco Platter.
Delicious although some of the sauces were spicy for me! Super chill on a weekday! Would totally visit again!

Pros: All Vegan/Plant-Based and Eco-Conscious Place , Amazing Service with Friendly Owner/Personnel, Easy Parking Below Building (2 Hour)

Cons: Cozy Interior (but Super Well Kept and Cute)

So fun to dine in!

I order from these guys regularly. Tonight me and my wife went for a dine in date night and it was amazing. We had one of every taco and they’re all so good. Food came fast and the owners are so friendly.

Yucatecan style food adapted for vegans

OK, add me to the legions of vegans who love this place. It's Yucatecan style food adapted for vegans by nice/cool people. Tacos, yes, but I usually go for those hearty, filling bowls. I've been a regular since they opened about a year ago at the corner of Olympic and Westwood. Enjoy now before the world discovers this place.

Pros: Great, innovative, flavorful plant based food. , Nice people who will laugh at your jokes , Easy parking

Totally awesome surprise!

Didn't know they were here until my son spotted the huge "Vegan" signage and we b-lined in (had planned for Poquito Mas across the street). Terrific food! We gotta the Phat Hass bowl and taco, and a great blueberry Jamaica. Delicious! #Veganuary

Pros: Great choices, Clean restaurant, Nice, dedicated owners

You Son of a Gun, I'm in.

Housemade Yucatán Cuisine from Mérida Mexico. Find Tacos, Bowls, Agua Frescas, Jackfruit Pie in a cute, clean and bright casual kitchen/dining room setup. Vegan Owner Chefs Gregory and his partner Heather are actually awesome and so attentive so please go and expect the royal treatment. These vegans are so lovely and enthusiastic that the feeling of friendliness shines right on through to the flavor of their food which is cooked to perfection.

I ate some tofu tacos on flour tortillas, drank a decidedly delicious blueberry jamaica agua fresca and polished off an order of buñelos! The seed salsa was unlike any I've had at any taqueria before, totally tasty.

My favorite part of their inventive and exciting menu is there's only one item with pbc-meat (skip it) the rest is real food and that's refreshing. A great addition to and a simple but friendly place to dine on the west side. Absolute awesome food and great energy. Looking forward to coming back for the tamale pie!

Muchas Gracias!

Pros: vegan owned and operated, interesting menu items, deep fried daikon!, open all day

Nice spot

Staff are nice, food was good. Nothing that jumped out at me in amazement and I don’t think I’d go out of my way for it, but if I’m in the area again I would stop by again and try more options. Give it a try for yourself.

Pros: Vegan, Expensive tacos, Parking structure

Delicious hole in the wall

Amazing food! Ordered some burritos that were full of flavor. The guac was delicious! Good portion size for everything! The agua de jamaica and watermelon were so refreshing! Perfect for the warm day! The two owners came by and talked with us and are such friendly people!

Simply phenomenal

Who doesn’t love tacos? Surely not me. The food in this place is phenomenal. Full of flavor, generous servings, and the owners are super friendly. Pictured are the Blueberry Jamaica Agua Fresca, the Kibis, Phat Hass taco, Spicy Beach taco, Jeff’s Breakfast Hash taco, and Pastelitos. I loved it all.

Pros: 100% vegan, Lots of options, Tastes great

Cons: I didn’t have enough stomach to try everything :(

Excellent food made with love, and the owners are so kind and welcoming.

We stopped by and were welcomed with such kindness. The food was excellent! Fresh ingredients, with a truly homemade taste. Like eating at a friend or family members home, both the flavor and the welcoming vibe. The location is a bit tucked away within a small shopping center, and is well worth the trip regardless of where you are traveling from. We enjoyed talking with the owners and learning about the family history of the recipes they use. Highly recommend!

Pros: All vegan menu, Fresh ingredients and perfect flavors, Excellent service, warm and welcoming

Great food and great people

Came to check out this place with my son, he got the Murica burrito and I got the spicy beach burrito. We also got a Blueberry Jamaica. Both burritos were delicious. I really liked the Murica one. The customer service was great and the wait was not long. Will definitely visit this place again

Pros: Great food , Variety

Cons: Small eating area

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the BEST food I’ve ever had!

My family and I tried Hijo De Su Madre last night and it was fantastic!!

We had the mash made in heaven, the Mayan hummus, the phat hass, banh mi, spicy beach, and Jeff’s breakfast hash tacos, with the crema de coco for dessert (which is their delicious family recipe). And EVERYTHING was perfect!

This isn’t your standard veganized Mexican food. They have such unique, flavorful dishes (and the sweetest owners). You’re seriously missing out if you haven’t eaten here yet! I know my family and I will be coming back for more ASAP😄

Pros: Delicious , Filling , Wonderful customer service

My new favorite

Very tasty food. And very creative. Big portions for very reasonable prices. It didn't even feel like restaurant food but something your mom would cook up for you.

Talked with the couple running it and was very impressed with Matt's big plans. They got passion for saving the world.

OMG!

First of all, the customer service is unmatched! Our host/hostess greeted us so warmly and helped us decide what to order. We opted for the LA Brat, Spicy Beach, chips & guacamole, and crema de coco. All were incredibly flavorful. We were then offered the opportunity to “try” the Hijo’s Batidos. Assumjng we would get little sample cups was exciting enough, but we were gifted THREW full sized drinks that were so delicious I can’t put into words. We also were offered a trial of the Sikil Pak, which was incredible. The menu is soooo lovely, clearly curated with flavors and love. Our entire family LOVED the food and the experience. The only thing that sucks is that now we’re gonna be hankering for this place all the time and we live on the other side of town.

Pros: Customer service, Food, Quantity

Oh! I forgot we got the Crema de Coco for dessert as well. It’s the perfect amount of sweet after an already perfect meal!
