    carne Asada Fries
    Stephanie C.

    this the bomb, like the carne asada is marinated and seasoned and the fries are loaded up with sauce. fresh smooth and citrusy guac. pico. HELLA meat like meat for every bite and it had me picking out every piece hell yeah im definitely coming back here service was fast and friendly, she gave me two salsas and i was licking that up fr i also asked for beans on the side which was a good move bc i like them crispyyyy and yes they were crispy and light mmm but the beans were fire, some pinto beans on the side hella generous with it, normally $17 would be a lil pricey for carne asada fries but hella worth the quality here very clean inside and youll be SUPER lucky if u go catch this wonderful jazz band playing in the beer garden (here on sunday evening) def check it out

    Located within the Whittier Brewing House hall lots of seating inside with some pinball machines. This spot is located in the back corner near the restaurants. Don't let the location fool you, this place was SO good! The food came out quick, and the cashier let us switch out our loaded fries with al pastor The meal was very fulfilling, agua Fresca veryyyy refreshing, and the salsa was SO good!! If you've read my other reviews you know how much I'm a spice lover. This hot sauce is really good and doesn't lose flavor with the kick. Flavor 8/10 spice 8/10

    Finding vegan restaurants can be a challenge, so I was thrilled to discover this spot. Everything on the menu is plant-based, and the food was absolutely delicious, bursting with flavor. The 'meat' alternatives were incredibly tender, and the variety offered was much appreciated. It's located inside Whittier Brewery, with street parking and a nearby metered parking lot available. Service was fast. They share the space with other vendors, noise levels high.

    Thanks to Yelp we found this place!. We got the 4 taco combo with 4 different"meats" and Carne Asada big burrito. Absolutely delicious and so flavorful. Don't let the vegan name fool you. It's better and more flavorful than the real deal. Located in the Whittier Brewing Company Building. Very reminiscent of Manhattan city. Cafeteria style place plenty of seating. Great to come for lunch or dinner for a date or casual meet up. Samantha was super helpful and so kind. I highly recommend checking it out!

    Carne Asada Fries

    This food was delicious! I ordered the carne asada fries and I'm glad they added a big portion of them! I also ordered the horchata and it was good considering the fact that it was vegan! It's so hard to find vegan horchata these days. I'm so glad they have this vegan place! I missed the taste of authentic Mexican food and this hit the spot for me! Will come again and try more dishes!

    Four Taco Plate & asada fries

    Food was amazing would go back again service was really good very clean place. Nice people

    They really didn't care about presentation of the food. This is how it looked when I got it.

    I have tried all their food including all the proteins. I would say that they have a Good size torta. Cons: Pricing is over the top. I would rank it as the 2nd best Mexican vegan food in SoCal. 3rd best Vegan Mexican food spot in California.

    The food here is always fresh and delicious! Fresh pressed tortillas. Full flavored vegan protein options. Generous serving of guacamole with each order. Salsa is phenomenal! The staff is welcoming and friendly. The brewery is living and busy on the weekend. Must try even if you aren't vegan.

    Vegan burrito and nachos

    Yes yes yes!!! Finally good vegan food that satisfies my cravings I highly recommend giving this place a try even if you're not vegan. My non-vegan partner devoured that burrito. I loved their Al pastor meat and carne. I almost accused them of giving me real meat because of how good it was!! 10/10 will be back again and again.

    I remember being reluctant to try since it was vegan and now I'm a fan. The food is always filling and nothing has disappointed me. 10/10 on the burritos.

    Kandi J.

    THE BEST MEXCIAN FOOD IVE EVER HAD VEGAN OR NOT! Sam took my order, she was so kind and sweet. The list of proteins to choose from is vast, the flavors are insane. I tried their extra spicy salsa, if you can handle it, it's soooooooooo good. I'm already craving MORE! Ughhh I can't wait to come back!!!!!

I have to give a huge shoutout to our waiter! He overheard us saying happy birthday to our friend, and without us even asking, he brought her a complimentary dessert. Such a thoughtful gesture and definitely made the night extra special. Overall, we had a great time and really appreciated the attentive service and little touches that made our dinner memorable!
