5 stars for the vegan food - Edit
So many delicious options. Have a full separate vegan menu in addition to main menu vegan options. Price is okay. Portions are large, especially the burritos. Vegan horchata and desserts! I just wish there was AC so we were comfortable hanging out longer.

Separate vegan menu; Vegan Gratitude burrito is great - Edit
Very filling: my burrito was huge and there were free tortilla chips before.
Read moreThe restaurant was empty when we came, though it was around 3 PM on a weekday. Hopefully they're getting enough business.

Delicious, fresh and lots of choices - Edit
Even if they serve meat there's still tons of vegan choices and almost everything can be made vegan. They are almost 100% organic! Really delicious Mexican food. My wife's favorite is the Vegan nachos.

Great spot - Edit
Updating my 2919 review.
Read moreThis is our favorite restaurant around here. We come from Petaluma too. Over the years they added a separate vegan menu with some really good items. A nice selection of vegan cakes, cheese cakes and other treats. Breakfast is now available here.
My go to item is Gratitude burrito.
We really like this place. Lots of vegan items and options. Like that they use sweet potatoes in the food. They also have horchata that’s vegan too.

Small Town Gem - Edit
This place was so sooooo good! They have a whole separate vegan menu with tons of options, which I was already impressed by. We got a burrito and the butternut squash enchiladas. The burrito was delicious, would absolutely order again. The enchiladas though? Out of this world! Will 100% visit again.

Large (separate) vegan menu! - Edit
A place we love to visit on our annual visit to Sebastopol. Would give this restaurant five stars, but I can't because they serve meat, too. Lovely server with great suggestions at the order counter.
Read morePros: Fast service, Personal attention, Great artwork for sale on the walls
Cons: No dislikes

The gratitude burrito is really good. Ask to get the green sauce on the top instead of inside the burrito
Read moreredguru
That's exactly what I ordered! The picante sauce is much better than the standard one they serve, but you must ask for it.

Best burrito ever - Edit
Many vegan options. Per recommendation I had the Gratitude Burrito and wow am I grateful 😄 seriously delicious but the tortilla shell? Omg, that was amazing. I don't think I've ever had a better tortilla. The filling was refried pinto beans, guacamole, salsa and I couldn't say what all but was super saucy and creamy and a real treat. Also the vegan orchata which was amazing!

They have a HUGE vegan menu! - Edit
The vegan menu is just as large as the regular menu! Delicious food that can be healthy or more “vegan junk food” depending on your preference. The aqua fresca is amazing too

My kids favorite! - Edit
Every time I ask my kid (who is vegan as well) where he wants to eat he says Viva. He is obsessed with the vegan quesadilla with the sweet potato and potato mixture as well as the vegan horchata. Their butternut squash enchiladas are my favorite. The burritos are great too. They also just added some beyond meat products too if you’re looking for some faux meat. I saw some comments about it not being authentic Mexican food which is completely true but I don’t think that is what they are going for so if you go in with an open mind you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Saw other comments about it being expensive but it’s pretty average for Sebastopol, where restaurants tend to be a bit pricier. The owner is really sweet as well which doesn’t hurt 😊

Grateful for decent vegan options - Edit
This place is a bit expensive but I think that has to do with the area & ingredients quality. Some of the vegan options are not great, but in a place with so vegan options I'm very grateful for their efforts. They use daiya cheese which isn't my favorite but the vegan nachos are still good. My favorite is the gratitude burrito, it is literally the reason I keep coming back! It's delicious!!!

Fantastic vegan options! - Edit
This gem of a place has more vegan options every week, and I highly recommend their "Gratitude Burrito" which is next level as well as the "Butternut Squash Enchiladas"... I also recently found out that you can buy jars of their delicious sauces... I haven't experienced their Sunday brunch yet but lunch and dinner are special....It's casual dining at its best.... if only it was 100% vegan.... maybe soon!

Lots of vegan options and smiles - Edit
I think they must have re-done the menu from the previous posts because this place has a lot of great vegan options. The vegan horchata is made with coconut milk, the staff are super friendly, and the prices are great. A must try! Also, the gratitude burrito is amazing!

tasty but simple - Edit
Good food but a little bland for Mexican food. It could use more vegan options. If you're a local, try it...but if you're visiting from out of the area, go try the house tofu tacos or burrito at Papas and Pollo instead.
