| - I want to love this place and my first visit I did. I'm actually really sad to give this place 2 stars, because on a good day they are 5 stars, but that's the problem. Consistent quality.
My first visit, I had just an app and a cocktail, and I was blown away. It was so good! My next visit, tried those famous cauliflower tacos and was blown away- so good.
The visit I tried potato tacos. They were not great. Really dry and bland. I thought, maybe this just isn't the right thing to order. I tasted my friends chorizo and tofu tacos and they were pretty good though.
Next visit, apparently the manager went on vacation and didn't order any food. They were out of 60% of the menu. We got the fried guacomole- just unfried because they didn't have any of the crumbs. Went ahead and ordered the cauliflower tacos and the chorizo tacos, since they were out of nearly everything else. This time the cauliflower was fried too long and dark brown and soggy. Still edible, but not as delicious.
Then take another friend yesterday. We split cauliflower tacos and jackfruit sandwhich. 2 of the 3 cauliflower tacos are awesome. The 3rd has raw coating on half of the cauliflower... wet sticky brown stuff. That was not good. Then the jackfruit sandwhich. Sorry for this... Yuck. It was gross. I cook jackfruit too. To be more detailed than "yuck". It was bland, like no salt or seasoning. There wasn't any pop to the flavor, no salt, no acid. The texture was mainly mushy with a mild sweet undertone. It was just disgusting. I tried adding lots of salt and lime juice... anything I could put on it to make it palatable. It was just terrible. The salad that came with was good.
So, this place is hit or miss. It bums me out, because I am strictly plant based and really appreciate vegan restaurants that do more than just fake meats. The staff is always polite, the casual atmosphere is cool, but if the food is great one day disgusting the next. Well, that's not okay- that doesn't qualify for 3-4 or 5 stars. They have to get it together. I really hope they do too, because it could should and has been great.
