Lets give this place a very Honest Review. I'm not vegan, so I cant say if this is the best (ive been to a few vegan places) so i have a reference of what it should taste like. My review is more concerned with my experience and observation of dining there.
Flies EVERYWHERE. While you eat they will land on your food, flies sitting on their trays of desserts and cooked items. Its a enclosed space, (and it was uncomfortably hot) why is there such a fly problem?
The part owner/preparer dosent have basic ingredients onhand and keeps running out to the supermarket across the street to buy avocadoes and vegetables to fill customer orders. What? And. when I commented the avocadoes are not ripe his retort was that in baja this is the way it is because its so hard to get fresh veggies. Really? No this is not accurate. I had tried 3 of their dishes. 2 of them were tacos third was a veggie burger. When i ask what is the main ingredient if not soy his response was "its a secret"
While standing outside, his brother walks in, one guest asks him where to buy ice cream, he suggests to try his ice cream, the guest explains they want milk based. Guess what the owner says. "You see this scab on my arm, do you know what comes out of this scab, it is milk, yes its milk" (While pointing to his arm with scab marks). What/who kind of person who runs a dining establishment speaks like this?
This is what I observed. 2 brother work together, One brother prepares food, the other goes around town promoting the restaurant to tourists via word of mouth. I observed this happen twice in my presence.
When they time to pay the check came, he didnt have change for $200 pesos and again had to run out and make change. Then he joked about what a inexpensive meal I got.
I felt my $$ was worth more to them than me having a good experience. At least 3 times they asked me to leave a note on their business wall in a different language and asked me to leave them positive reviews online. Im leaving an...

Read moreOk this is the hardest review for me to write. My wife and I are not vegan but we occasionally eat healthy and work out in an attempt to purge our bodies of our evil eating habits. Our first meal with Chef Andres was a vegan pizza. My wife and I would not rate it high but we wanted to come back because Chef Andres is one spectacular ball of positive energy! ( Im also half Italian and grew up in NY so I'm picky about pizza) We did have a smoothie on that visit that was good and great when you realize all the healthy ingredients in it. Our second visit was breakfast waffles with fruit. We both enjoyed them! We would see Andres around the beach in the morning with his dogs and he approached us like long time friends. Last meal I told Chef Andres it was up to him to make me never have a beef hamburger again. He showed us the art of making his vegan burger. It was really good and had so many ingredients. I forgot to say I do not like mustard which ended up on the burger but it didn't matter because it tasted so good. Visit his place, drink a healthy smoothie and stand close to him so you can absorb his...
