| - Just ate here courtesy of groupon. Here are my thoughts.
After buying the groupon, we looked over the menu and placed our order over the phone, for dine-in. i imagine, it takes quite a bit of time to make fresh vegan food, and so it does take awhile; however the best part is that they will suggest a better time for you to come so that they can accomodate you, rather than have you wait. This, once again is if you call in ahead of time.On their website, they do advise you to call in your order, but if you're just stopping by to see what they have to offer, you'll be frustrated by their long wait time. Some people looked angry at me because i seemingly came in, got seated and got my food, way ahead of a lot of people, simply because i followed their instructions on the site and called in ahead of time
The service, was warm and authentic. I had no mean servers, everyone was warm and everyday people. I won't say that they were wearing insincere, fake smiles, but they were genuine, pleasant servers.
I ordered the pura vida burrito, my girlfriend ordered the empanadas which came with cranberry chutney. She didn't care for the empanadas, but loved the burrito. I thought the burrito was great, and was reminscent of chili and I ate her empanadas. They weren't bad, just not as great as the burrito, but I made them work with the chutney and they were real satisfying. The presentation of the food was great as well.
Overall, it's worth checking out. it's a small vegan spot in a very intimate setting. I mean, i made my order over the phone and the head chef knew who i was and what i ordered. The chef will come out to the diners and make sure that everyone is well-taken care of and that the food is good.
