Minor side note- Review got too long. Full review here I went to this Mexican place with a group of others months ago as per most of my other recent reviews. As can also be told from those reviews, I'm not vegan or vegetarian but the food here was tasty. I would say that some dishes worked better than others but it was overall a good place and I would possibly stop by their other locations as I know I passed by one on the Chinatown border and I think there's one other. The inside is nice and the place got pretty crowded but the volume stayed pretty low. I remember the bathroom being excessively bright compared to many other places I think from neon or something which was a bit different. They gave us three salsas/hot sauces including a habanero, fermented serrano, and salsa negra with my favorite being the serrano and then the habanero but the negra wasn't too shabby. To drink, I had the Pineapple y Mezcal with mezcal, cilantro, chile de árbol, and lime. This was a pretty tasty cocktail with the smokiness from the mezcal pairing nicely with the light sweetness/sourness of the pineapple and lime along with the bit of spice from the chili. The drink had a chili/tajin rim which went with it as well. As I was waiting a bit, I also tried the esquites with almond parmesan and cayenne. I prefer esquites over the cobb version elote pretty heavily and this version was alright. I think the almond parmesan by comparison lacked a bit of the creaminess of the usual dish but the saltiness was there and it definitely could have been a good amount spicier. We received soon one of the best dishes at least to share which were the Nachos listed as "our chorizo" with refried beans, habanero queso, salsa verde, sour cream, and corn relish. The portion size was big and the toppings were spread nicely so they weren't that many chips that lacked flavoring. The fake chorizo had surprisingly good flavoring though it was less smokey than the meat version but that is probably to be expected and overall we all enjoyed it. Also received early were the Hongos Quesadilla with huitlacoche, epazote, poblano, charred corn, and coco queso. The filling was solid as I've always been a fan of corn fungus/huitlacoche and it had good spice with a bit of sweetness from the corn. The best part of it was actually the fake cheese. I usually hate fake cheese and find either the texture or flavor to be terrible and this was surprisingly close. The only bad thing about the quesadilla was ironically the quesadilla itself which didn't have too good of a texture being closer to the less good Tex-Mex spot. It is however hard for me to find most quesadillas enjoyable as the best thing locally by my job is a Mexican antojitos cart which specializes in quesadillas. The last two things we received early were both just alright. The Queso Fundido with melted coco queso, jalapeño, tomato, and poblano served with corn chips was fine. Said fake cheese worked a bit less here as it was more noticeable that it was fake as it did not melt as well but at least the portion was decent with plenty of chips. The Beet & Pumpkin Empanadas with kabocha squash, Swiss chard, guacamole, and chimichurri was fine. The empanada was a bit thick so the flavors got a bit lost and it was a bit too sweet overall for me. For the enchiladas, the Enchiladas Mole with "our pollo," guajillo, cacao, sesame, coco queso, and sour cream, served with Spanish rice was very tasty and the better of the two. The mole had a good mix between a little bit of sweetness, a little bit of smokiness, and a little bit of bitterness from the cacao. The spices could have been a bit stronger but it was overall a good mole and honestly better than many of the Mexican spots in the city. Fake chicken tends to be pretty similar especially when shredded and if I was going to pick a dish and completely forget I was eating vegan Mexican food, I'd probably order this one. The Enchiladas Verde with green tomato, jalapeño, cilantro, jackfruit carnitas, coco queso, sour cream, and Spanish rice was also solid. Nice little bit of sourness and bitterness from the verde sauce and carnitas are a very common substitute for pulled pork for a good reason. For the tacos, the Buffalo Flower Tacos with tempura'd cauliflower, shredded carrot, celery, and queso azul was very tasty. It was a bit pricey but the cauliflower had an excellent texture and the fried texture along with the lightly sweet and spicy sauce reminded me of Gobi Manchurian from those Indo-Chinese spots. The Crispy Pescado with hemp & flax battered chayote squash, chipotle almond butter, and pickled red onion didn't exactly remind me of fish in anyway (fish is one of the few things that I think there really aren't any vegan/veggie substitutes as it can't match the butteriness or texture) but the flavor was solid with the pickled onions being a nice touch (wouldn't have minded those on the cauliflower also.) For the two bowls, better of the group was the Turmeric Cauliflower Bowl with black beans, cilantro, scallion herb chermoula, grilled vegetables, sweet potato, and sour cream. It didn't exactly remind me much of Mexican food outside of the cilantro and black beans having almost a middle eastern flair thanks to the chermoula and turmeric but it was pretty tasty. The cauliflower was well spiced. My least favorite thing by a mile during the meal was the Dinosaur Kale Salad with mango, avocado, red quinoa, smoked coconut shards, sweet potato, alfalfa sprouts, jalapeño chia-cilantro dressing but this was definitely to be expected. I've never been a huge fan of avocado, I honestly don't like quinoa much, and I hate kale. I liked the sweeter vegetables of course but there were too many ingredients that I just didn't like so this was more me than the bowl. The dressing also just wasn't too tasty. Outside of the kale salad which I expected to dislike, there were a couple standouts such as both of the enchiladas as well as the the nachos and the tacos even if they were a little bit overpriced. The queso, empanada, and quesadilla were alright while I didn't like the bowls or the queso. In short, I liked five things, thought three were okay to good, and I thought three things weren't that good.
