Pleasantly surprised! - Edit
Honestly I was a little leery about coming here due to previous reviews regarding bad service. I am happy to say that we had great service and the food came out hot and tasty!
Read moreWe had the jumbo French toast sticks and the breakfast sandwich for brunch, along with the Detoxxx cocktail.
The sandwich was tasty but fell apart during eating. The breakfast potatoes were delicious though.
The French toast sticks were good but very deep fried and absolutely coated in sugar. Think very square churros. Tasty but wow.. you could press on the bread and see the oil it was fried in. Very crunchy sugar bombs. Again, tasty.
The cocktail was refreshing and nice though not strong at all.
Other reviewers mentioned that you either had to order inside or online at your table. We found that they had plenty of servers and buspeople to keep up with the rush, and I was glad for that.
Pros: Good food, Patio seating with some shade, Cocktail menu
Cons: Not every outside seat is shaded. Bring hat, A bit expensive

Great Dinner - Edit
Mushroom pizza was great, though I enjoyed it better than my partner. Chopped Salad was really good! Jackfruit taco was not great. The Jackfruit filling should have been cooked more and divided into two tortillas. Margarita was great. The outside seating is lovely and service is good and friendly.

Great!! - Edit
I’ve come here many times with my friends and family and overall the food has been really good. Its somewhat on the salty side and a bit pricy but the food is still delicious. I’ve tried the tacos, the imposible slider, the mushroom pizza, the baby kale salad, the string beans, and the pesto pasta.

Decent food, great drinks, confusing service - Edit
Food was good - pizza was not cooked properly and toppings slid off. Two staff were kind and helpful, two were generally sour and distant. Should get rid of counter orders and just staff tables with servers. Great wine and cocktails.
Read morePros: Lots of Vegan options
Cons: No paper menu, Online ordering adds surcharge

Not bad at all, just not great either - Edit
I hate to give a vegan restaurant anything less than 5 stars, but I found my meal at Margo’s pretty lacklustre. The tacos were very, very heavily coated in a mayo-based condiment that overpowered everything else. I would go again if invited (and some other dishes may surprise me!), but I won’t be seeking it out again. There’s too much good food in LA to opt for something on the pricier and blander side.
Read morePros: All vegan!, Very quick service, On Montana Ave
Cons: Bland, Expensive, Counter-service (would be fine if if weren’t $$$)

What a surprise! - Edit
I was looking for somewhere new to go for brunch and found Margo’s in Brentwood. I didn’t know this place existed and was so pleased to find it. I had the breakfast pizza which I could have eaten the entire thing but got a box so I could bring home. My husband had the huevos ranchero and thought it was the best he ever had. Plan to go there soon for dinner.
Read morePros: All vegan/plant based, Best huevos ranchero , Tasty food

Great food - Edit
I tried the huevos ranchos, Caesar salad, chopped salad, French toast sticks, margharita pizza, pesto pasta, and nachos. I loved the nachos, pesto pasta, chopped salad, and pizza the most. The French toast sticks were all right. The dressing on the Caesar salad tasted too pungent though. The huevos ranchos tasted too chickpea-y the day I got it but after sitting in the fridge for a couple days it tasted great.

Amazing! Yay! - Edit
The whole menu is vegan! I took my elderly parents there and didn’t tell them that. We had the nachos and the quarter pounder burger. Could have fooled me. Delicious, they really enjoyed time we spent there.

Cons: No reservations. Although there were many options, T

Great pizza - Edit
Finally, a great place is opened in SM where you can eat a decent vegan pizza. Next time I will have pancakes... Or waffles. I'm not decided yet 😁

So good! - Edit
“Fish” tacos are great & so are the nachos. Been here a handful of times, since it’s a bit of a drive from me, but as a native to the Venice area, I’m glad to see more vegan spots pop up in the Santa Monica/Manhattan Beach/surrounding places. So many to choose from & Margo’s is my go-to when I’m near home.

All vegan and so good! We had mushroom "chorizo" and potato taco; a roasted corn, black bean, and arugula salad; and a bunch of other great stuff. Everything delicious. The food arrived very quickly and the service was very friendly. We'll be back for sure!
