| - Long time vegan who greatly anticipated this L.A. original coming to my beloved city, but I and my husband have been consistently disappointed.
Although we both adore the decor, the music played, the comics and the Gary L. Francione quote...the food just does not hold up.
The first visit was on a Friday evening a few weeks after opening, but it was mediocre at best - to be fair- the air conditioning was broken and the staff might have been exhausted due to this circumstance. However, my husband ordered the 'big mac', I ordered the tacos and we shared the creme brule.
The big mac had great flavour, but was very poorly constructed (soggy/falling apart before it even got to the table). The tacos were very bland, but also topped with way too much chilli and nearly inedible for this reason. The creme brule was the only enjoyable part of the meal, but nothing to write home about.
The second visit, was on a weekday shortly after opening for lunch. We only wanted a small bite to eat and split the nachos and had some drinks. We had read good things about the nachos and wanted to give Doomies a second try. Sadly, the nachos were awful. Not because of the ingredients or the construction, but simply because the nachos were stale. Seemed as if they has been re-fried from the previous batch (perhaps from the evening before?) and chewy and not enjoyable because of this...
Sorry Doomies, but The Hogtown Vegan has our vote for the best vegan comfort foods and junk foods in Toronto.
