About

Vegan enchiladas, fajitas with soy protein, jackfruit tacos, and Mexican-spiced quinoa give vegan diners more than the usual rice-and-beans options. The menu also covers meat-based Tex-Mex classics and cocktails, with a rear patio, ample seating, and attentive service that works well for mixed-diet groups.
