| - Semi-vegan-friendly mexican food, great salsa and guac, everything else so-so.
Chips - 3 stars (not made fresh inhouse, or, if so, for shame)
Salsa - 5 stars (although I didn't like being charged for it -- should be included in the price of the margaritas)
Guacamole - 5 stars
Margaritas - 3 stars ("house" blanco is a bit off, the Sweetie's that was made with Chinaco was better)
Vegan quinoa stuffed poblano - 3 stars (white quinoa was flavorless, red/black quinoa would have helped as would a sauce/mole; black beans also needed more flavor)
Service - 3.5 stars (our waitress was very friendly but didn't really have any idea about the margarita ingredients)
+1 star for being a mexican restaurant with the word vegan on the menu (very rare!)
-0.5 stars for vegan items being only "optionally" vegan, using fake meat in the vegan chili, and not having a vegan dessert
+0.5 for stocking nearly every single mezcal
Although there was lots of room for improvement, I can't think of a better vegan friendly mexican restaurant (anywhere), so I think they deserve a 5 star "as good as it gets".
