la flor de la vida — Restaurant in Baja California

I can see why they have low ratings for their service: They have good products but lack serious customer service. They have a fridge with products you can grab (drinks, yogurts, faux meats, prepared ceviche, cheeses, etc). BUT BEWARE, DO NOT GRAB THEIR JARS (salsas, dressings) BECAUSE THEY WILL GET MAD. I visited their store last week and grabbed my salsa from the fridge as I have multiple times before and got charged for a salsa at the counter but came home to realize it was a dressing of some sorts instead of their oil-based smooth salsa. I called to let them know of the mishap and basically got scorned by the lady about how I should not be grabbing those jars. Mind you, I've been TOLD BY STAFF to go ahead and grab those. It's worth sharing that these jars are right next to their house-made chorizo and ceviches. A sign on their fridge would avoid some confusion and reprimanded. I know I wouldn't grab it if it...

One of my favorite restaurants. The meal changes every day and I love the variety. One meal is about 180 pesos and comes with something like a soup, salad, main dish, agua fresca, and dessert.

I like that the meals are well balanced with a variety of ingredients and they're so delicious and charmingly presented. There is always a vegan option.

The eating area is upstairs and the store and bakery downstairs is also great. Baked goods run out as the day goes on so it's nice to stop by and pick something up earlier in the day. Very nice fresh baked goods, and one of the only places I can find vegan Mexican baked goods like...

I love this place! Being gluten free and vegan is hard in the US and even harder in Mexico. This store has many pastries and desserts, not all are vegan and gluten free, but I found several options when I went! I had pan, muffins, cinnamon rolls, hand pies, and cake.

They also have vegan cheese and gluten free tortillas (made from nopales!). Many grocery items are available, like milks, flours, cookies, nuts, popsicles, etc.

The employees are great, too. They helped me find the gluten free items. I didn't speak much Spanish and the lady I talked to didn't speak much English, but she was really nice and we made it work!

I didn't have the chance to eat at the restaurant part of it, but I definitely...
