I went to Ocotillo for the first time a week ago and was very disappointed. We were seated after a short wait (although there were no other people waiting and the restaurant wasn't full). We were then forgotten about completely. No one came to offer us drinks or take our order so I got up and asked the first employee I saw. He apologized and immediately helped us. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to be very knowledgeable about vegan options so I had to ask him to clarify with the chef, as most places usually do. When he returned he told me the options and modifications I can make so we went with the roasted cauliflower and falafel burger. After I got the cauliflower I noticed a green looking pesto, which I presumed contained cheese. He said they would use a carrot pesto so I was alarmed when it was not orange. So I let the dish get cold as I waited for him to come by so that I could ask. Well, he didn't come by for quite a while so I got up and asked the hostess--who happened to be vegan--what color it was supposed to be, she said orange. I go back to my table and wait some more until our waiter finally comes by again and says that it's a carrot TOP pesto and that it's supposed to be green and the hostess didn't know what she was talking about. At this point my cauliflower is cold but to be honest it was nothing special. I make better roasted cauliflower at home. It was pretty though. Too lemony for me. The falafel burger--when made vegan--is too dry so we added avocado but it still was dry. And let's talk about the decor: BORING! White walls, bright lights?! It was a little "old" for us. We won't be returning and don't really recommend it to others.
P.s. Drinks were okay.
