    (V) Tofu Mixto Bowl with mole
    Grace X.

    Had a really fantastic tofu mixto bowl from a work lunch delivery. For some reason the tofu bowls weren't showing up on the ordering menu but I ordered a chicken bowl and left instructions to do tofu and they did. I got the mole sauce which was AMAZING, highly recommend. Portion size was pretty good, especially for the proteins. The menu is really well labelled for vegan options, and pretty much everything is vegan including sauces except for the meat obviously. Price is also reasonable. 10/10!

    I came back to try the chicken rice bowl and it was great. Very fresh and delicious mix of ingredients that work well together. The pickled onions and tomatillos were refreshing and crisp. I've never had fresh tomatillos like this in a bowl before and it's something I'm going to add to my cooking. Pairs so well with the mole. The mole on the side is something I didn't try last time and I'm glad I did. Smokey, nutty, and worked well with the bowl. The salsa roja was nice too, with a good kick. The amount of chicken is understandable for the price (~11). And even though I ate most of the chicken in just a few bites, I enjoyed finishing the bowl which has a very fair portion size. I didn't get "flavor fatigue" which usually happens in bowls after the protein is done. Maybe I just need to try more vegetarian bowls in general, bc this basically was one. But next time I'd probably get extra chicken as an add-on lol.

    I ordered here because I forgot my lunch and let me just say- they went above and beyond. I was looking for something healthy and this was delicious and nutritious. The way they wrote my name on the box added a little something that said "made with love". Next time I forget my lunch I will be ordering here again.

    I was looking for a quick lunch but healthy and affordable at the same time. Recently found this on yelp. The bowl was too pretty and it tasted good as it looks. Definitely a good option and worth a try!

    We got 2 chicken meals last night for dinner. It was really good. The chicken was shredded and tender. I loved everything in the box.

    Ask the Community - Palmita

    What kinds of oils do you use, what kind of chicken? Could you guys list the ingredients somewhere so I can avoid the stuff I need to avoid? Like oxalates, heavy seed oils… If I say no beans in a bowl will you give me more of the other stuff or...?

    Hi there! We use either canola oil or rice bran oil in our cooking, depending on the dish. For our bowls, we use boneless, skinless chicken thigh (dark meat). Please let us know if you have any other questions. Happy to help!

She was incredibly patient in explaining the menu and took the time to describe each dish and its unique features, which was extremely helpful for first-time visitors like us. My friend was interested in a dinner item, and Angelica went above and beyond by kindly checking with the kitchen to see if it could be prepared for us during lunch. The food was great, but Angelica's outstanding service made the experience truly memorable. Her friendliness, knowledge, and willingness to help made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be coming back and recommending Sun of Wolf to our friends and family.

    Every time I have come to Sun of Wolf, I always get top notch service, everyone is so friendly…read more I also like the menu selection and the vibes of the restaurant. On this occasion, we came here on a Friday evening, we had made reservations for 6 of us. I personally ordered the agua fresca-pineapple and the lasagna. We ordered 2 chips and salsa for the table and the others ordered, arugula salad, tacos de carnitas, mahi mahi tacos, hamachi tostadas and drinks such as the spicy tamarindo, mocktail and margarita. Everyone loved their selections. One of my friends ordered the chocolate tart and the chocolate was too rich for my liking but the mousse that accompanied it was soo good, very tart and tropical. This restaurant is on California Ave., no restaurant parking but there is street parking nearby, although not on this street since its closed off to vehicle traffic. There is also a parking lot and a parking garage nearby. Once you eat, you can take a nice stroll down the Ave. Check online for details but once a month, on Thursdays, the city helps to sponsor a Thursday Live events with music, giveaways and games. Even without the Thursday Live events...this restaurant is a must if you are in the area.

    Sixteen years ago, I left a one-star review because my order came with cheese after I specifically…read morerequested no cheese while pregnant. Looking back, I think it's time to give credit where credit is due. These days, I regularly order the Havasu Salad with salmon, and it's fantastic. The portion is enormous, the ingredients are fresh, and it's one of the few salads that actually feels like a complete meal. The salmon pairs perfectly with it, and I always leave full and happy. One order mistake from 16 years ago shouldn't outweigh years of consistently good food. If you're a salad lover, definitely give the Havasu Salad a try.

With over 900 reviews, I had high hopes--and I'm glad to say my meal delivered. Food (4.5 stars) + The two-taco combo (about $13) was a win for me. I chose carnitas and adobada (that saucy red mole-like one!). The adobada was rich, flavorful, and unique, while the carnitas, although a bit dry, had a nice smokiness. The sweet bite of the onions really balanced the tacos--maybe a touch more cilantro and onions next time. + Kat's carnitas burrito was bright red and juicy (I found it perfect, even if she thought it was a tad dry). I think they put some similar yummy sauce as the adobada. Generous portion, meaty, and delicious. + Will's carne asada quesadillas were cheesy and tender. He found them bland, but I thought they were fine. Plus, the generous guac portion (even if it needed a squeeze of lime) was a nice touch. + The salsa bar deserves a shout-out. Mixing the spicy corn-bean blend with hot salsa and pico de gallo? That's a flavor bomb right there. - Carne asada nachos, while generous, fell flat. There was also quite a generous portion of guacamole along with sour cream. My only complaint is the meat lacked that smokiness or char of most asadas. It felt bland--almost taste boiled. I took the meat home to doctor it up! Service/Ambiance (4 stars) + I put this under service because I'm a fan of the unexpected and getting chips with our meal was a nice touch. Bonus Star! ~ You order at the counter, grab your own drinks. Staff were minimal but efficient enough for what it was. It's casual--not full service, but they get the job done. ~ Ambiance is simple--nothing fancy. You've got a salsa bar, a drink station, and it's very much a "grab a table" kind of place. Overall, for a quick, affordable sit-down Mexican spot, it hit the spot for me. My friends rated it 3.5 stars, but I loved it. I'd come back for the carnitas burrito and salsa bar alone!

I…read morefound this place on Yelp with great reviews, and since it was nearby, we decided to give it a try. We ordered through DoorDash for pickup, and everything was ready right at the time requested. I even received a notification when the order was ready, which made pickup easy. One thing to note is that the restaurant is tucked away in the back of the plaza. The arrow on the sign in the front actually threw us off, and we ended up walking all around the building, past the pizza place and around the corner before finding it. It's located across from Star Aquatics and Fitness. When we walked in, there was a designated ordering area near the entrance. A couple was already being helped, but another employee quickly came over to assist us. I told her we were picking up a DoorDash order, and after asking for my name, she also asked how much salsa we wanted and generously gave us two containers of each variety. For food, I ordered the appetizer flautas and a birria taco. The flautas came with a salad-like accompaniment. The two flautas were cut in half and were smaller than I expected, but they were tasty and nicely prepared. The birria taco was packed with meat, which I appreciated, although I was hoping the meat would be a little juicier. The hot sauces were excellent, though, and definitely elevated the taco. The ladies seemed to enjoy their food as well, and there weren't any complaints from the group. It's always nice when everyone can find something they like. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'm glad we gave this place a try. Next time I'd love to come back and try the nachos or some of their other menu items.

It's a small place but has indoor & outdoor eating. Lively (Latin?) music & an extensive menu. If you have a large party or are with picky eaters, this place has it all.
