Update for 2024: I've been here several more times recently and had pretty good experiences. It's definitely a dive bar, but has good vegetarian options and the food is tasty. There is a full bar, and the drinks are just okay most of the time, unless you order from the cocktail menu. They do have some CBD seltzers which I appreciate if I don't want alcohol. The service is always friendly, chill atmosphere.

Had brunch here on the weekend. The place was empty which seemed nice but should have been telling. I and others in my party ordered the brunch burrito, and added chilli verde. But this chilli verde was ridiculously spicy. I mean after 3 bites, our mouths were on fire and we couldn't taste the burritos anymore. And we weren't a crowd of mild eaters (I at least order Thai food with 3 stars every time and love hot sauce). Seeing as how it wasn't mentioned on the menu and we weren't warned, the waitress should have offered us something else when we complained at how spicy the verde was. But instead, she cluelessly brought another plate for us to scrape the sauce onto to get it off our burritos. She only brought one plate when my friend repeatedly asked for a second. She also still charged us for the sauce we couldn't eat. Duh. Apparently that batch of jalapeño was really hot, she relayed from the kitchen, but that's not an excuse. You're supposed to taste test and warn people. Ruined brunch. For a vegan place, it wasn't very good and this just sealed my resolve to never go there or...

As a new vegan, places like this make my transition really easy. I went in for lunch on a Friday and found the spot relatively slow (for some reason). I had the meatball sub (special for the month of January) with potato salad and my girlfriend had the French dip with a side Cesar salad. Let me tell you, the French dip was absolutely incredible. Had a perfect spicy after taste from the grilled peppers and onions and the dip was hot and full of flavor but the absolute star of the show was that meatball sub. It was a last minute change after the asking the bartender if I should have that, or the Bleu cheese burger with bacon and let me tell you I am SO glad I changed my mind at their recommendation. The sub came out hot, sliced in half with hand made meatballs that were absolutely PACKED with flavor and the perfect texture, covered in a light (right) amount of tomato sauce and grated parmesan cheese. I paired it with a draft beer and finished it off with a double Blanton's (priced surprisingly well) and I was ABSOLUTELY smitten with my choice. If you haven't been to this place, you HAVE to try it. Support local vegan eateries ESPECIALLY this place. It's amazing to have that sandwich come out of that small kitchen space but let me tell you, vegan or not - this place is worth checking out. I absolutely...
