Un Solo Sol is an absolute gem. Every dish I've tried has been way more delicious than I could have expected, everything is super fresh, and the portions are generous. It's super affordable, too - more than it should be, for the quantity and quality - so I always leave feeling stuffed but in a healthy way, not heavy. My favorite dishes (so far): Guacamole Green pozole with tofu - the tofu mimics cheese in an uncannily realistic way Pupusas, especially the bean and spinach Anything with nopales, but especially the nopales platter That said...you can't go wrong here! read more

I am not a vegan, but really liked the food, flavors, and friendly service offered here! It's so rare to find a truly vegan papusa, and this place has it! I tried the papusa and the rainbow taco platter. Each of the tacos was absolutely wonderful and paired well with the salsa. I loved how fresh the ginger tasted in the B & H smoothie. We enjoyed sitting on their outside tables with a great view of Downtown Los Angeles and Mariachi Plaza. The owner was extremely friendly and I look forward to dining here with more of my vegetarian and vegan friends. read more

Solid Vegan and the food is not only to nourish the body, but your mind and soul. We had an excellent meal today! This was my first outing since my recent hospitalization and rehab to build my body back in fighting cancer. My Queen Michele and I were coming from LA County Medical Center to follow up on my surgery. We are on a new path eating healthy food and getting the right foods for our bodies. The opportunity to first learn about a place in my Barrio of Boyle Heights and meeting Carlos (the owner) who shared his experience with us in providing healthy food to be the "medicine" for our bodies, "Sunrise to Sunset"! We had the Curry Peas Bowl, Shiitake Mushrooms enchiladas and the Green Pozole with Mushrooms, I highly recommend it. We happen to run into fellow Rough Riders read more

Somehow this little restaurant does not get its fair share of applause in the LA vegan community. The food is fresh, flavorful, and healthy, and I'm so glad we finally tried it. The owner was so friendly and helpful, and he took a moment to share his mission of making health food that doesn't just avoid animal products, but also nourishes the body. I ordered the enchiladas (one Paula's Mix and one the Chickpea Mix filling). They were stuffed with so many beans and veggies and piled with more veggies on top. The veggies were seasoned so well and the salsas (both red and green) were delicious. It came with a choice of sides and a side salad as well. My husband got the 16 oz Al Pastor Bowl and a pupusa on the side. Both were delicious. The restaurant was small inside, but very clean and had a friendly atmosphere. Parking was a bit of a hassle - street parking only in a jam-packed neighborhood, but it was well worth circling to find a spot. We will definitely be back. read more

The owner was overly controlling. Before and after my meal, he hovered, talked nonstop, and wouldn't give me the space to leave naturally. After I finished eating (I still had my drink), he kept talking while holding dirty dishes and walked me all the way to the door. I left feeling uncomfortable and rushed out. If you're so proud of your higher education, you should know that respecting customers' personal space is basic courtesy. Good luck paying the rent. Luckily, there are more than 500 vegetarian restaurants to choose from. read more

Not a great experience. I had better customer service at other places. They were not patient here at all. I would not suggest going here and would suggest going to the other places. Someone told me to come here and I was so excited but they don't make you feel welcomed. The name was amazing and I loved the positive affirmations but nothing else. They tell you one thing over the phone and say something totally different when you come in person. Have an amazing day everyone, I only want the best for others. read more

Such an amazing spot, can't believe it took me forever to check it out. They specialize in vegan food and it's absolutely amazing. Whether you are vegan, watching your weight or just want to try a new delicious spot, then make a stop here! The service is amazing! They made sure that we were able to submit our order through their QR code and checking on us to ensure that the food was good. I highly recommend to check this spot out, even if you aren't vegan. You won't even realize that it's vegan because that's how good the food is. I ordered the chilaquiles and know that there was nothing left once I was done. My table order the potato tacos and enchiladas, both plates were also delicious. read more

If I could give Un Solo Sol more than 5 stars, I would. This is hands down one of my absolute favorite restaurants, and I truly cannot say enough good things about it! What sets this place apart is how extraordinarily clean the food is. The level of detail and care they put into making sure they are serving the absolute cleanest, highest-quality options is nothing short of extraordinary. It's incredibly refreshing to find a spot that prioritizes wholesome ingredients this much without sacrificing an ounce of flavor. Everyone needs to come here just to taste what truly healthy, good food can actually taste like--it's a total game-changer. Every single dish feels vibrant and nourishing. Beyond the amazing menu, the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Carlos is also very kind and goes out of his way to make every visit special, which just adds to the magic of the whole experience. You can really feel the passion, heart, and soul they pour into this establishment. I honestly wish I could eat here every single day. Do yourself a favor and check it out--your body and your tastebuds will thank you! read more

The green posole was worth the trip alone! Also had a nopalito/black bean pupusa that was divine. I'm not a vegan/vegetarian but my boss is and wanted to sample the food before buying her a gift card. 100% recommend! read more

A fantastic restaurant with great health-conscious food and exceptional service. We were served by the store owner. He's been vegan for decades and shared with us a plethora of diet and health advice, delving into topics like live gut bacteria, the benefit of leafy greens, etc. He clearly cares about his customers' health. He explained that he tries to avoid serving fried food, sugary drinks, etc. There is a single-stall bathroom in the back of the kitchen that you have to be escorted to. Give this place a try. You'll come to see that food can simultaneously be healthy and delicious (: read more

Delicious vegan food, for the vegan and non-vegan alike. They don't do fake style meats or anything like that. They just focus on great combinations of food. I also loved the street it was on. Right across from mariachi Plaza in Boyle Heights with really great music echoing from nearby clubs. read more

Un Solo Sol is a fine, fine restaurant. Ordering out is easily done online and something they are very good at taking care of. I prefer to sit and enjoy the setting and the view of Mariachi Park. I have been working my way through the menu and have yet to find anything at all that is not wonderful. read more

One of my favourite place to grab lunch with vegan friends! The place is small, but the food is delicious and the service always friendly. One of my faves is the lomo saltado with mushroom; great flavour and you don't even miss the meat. Only downside is that there's only street parking and the ac isn't great. read more

What a sweet little find! My friends and I were in the area for a conference and were looking for a quick vegetarian bite. To our delight, we found this awesome vegan Mexican/Indian fusion spot in the heart of Boyle Heights. Our server, who I am assuming was the owner of the place took so much pride in explaining to us how everything he was going to serve us was vegan and made in house. We ordered chips and guacamole, taco platter (pastor, choya- chickpea stew), tacos de picadillo, and taco de nopales. The platter came with rice and beans and my friend and I ordered agua de sandía and agua de guanábana. The pastor was made with mushrooms in a pastor marinade, choya was made with chickpeas, and picadillo was made with a blend of lentils that had been stewed spices for hours. As the owner explained, nothing they use is made with inflammatory artificial meats. The chips were baked, the guacamole and aguas frescas were made on the spot and nothing was over sweetened. 5 stars because this place is offering the community real health on a plate! The flavors offer you that, real healthy and flavor infused guisados that come from using real ingredients. Don't come here expecting to satisfy a salty fried filled craving. Come here with an open mind and in appreciation of what healthy good for you food should taste like. read more

Every once in a while, you come across a restaurant that reminds you of why food is so important. Un Solo Sol is an absolute hidden gem that serves a variety of dishes that nourish your soul and also teach a unique perspective on history. The mishmash of dishes ranging from South American to Indian may confuse you at first, but know that the flavors will be delicious! Items we recommend: the green pozole that's so comforting, pupusa platter with herbaceous chipilin (heartier spinach) and beans, and the Indian kachumber salad with perfectly spiced tofu. End on a sweet note with the kheer almond milk rice porridge and don't forget to try the hibiscus drink! Carlos, the owner, was lovely to speak with. read more

Cute lil vegan place that had delicious gluten free options. I started with the organic coffee and homemade almond milk (which was thee best almond milk Ive ever had). It was so good! Black bean papusa. Masa was so delicious and had alot of filling. I wish the salsa had a wee bit more spice but it was still very good. Curtido was fresh and crisp. Definitely a good thing to order I also ordered the homemade tortillas and so glad that I did. The freshness if the masa. The thickness. Stone ground tortillas were again so delicious. Lol i need a thesaurus. Lastly I had the pozole. With tofu. Rojo. I smacked that small bowl. The spices were on point. The broth was one of the best Ive had. Fresh crisp radish, cabbage. I would recommend this dish. It was perfect. Food was so good I ordered a red pozole (large) to go. Prices were good. Customer service was excellent Restaurant was very clean (also a plus) Wish I lived closer. I would be a regular. read more

Spectacular Food! It's the kind of food that Weight Watchers should sell to people looking to eat easily digestible great tasting food. You are what you eat and this is the type of food that helps build the immune system. They really need the local community to support them, I'm from out of the area and happened to stumble upon this place. read more

The food was amazing. All of the dishes had an incredible depth of flavor and we can't wait to come back again five stars.

Un Solo Sol is such a delight that even my carnivorous husband loves it! I love everything about this restaurant. It's as home style as it gets. The decor is simple, but the art on the walls is colorful, eye catching and thought provoking. It celebrates Boyle Heights, and the Mexican and Central American experience. I like sitting by the window so I can people watch the mariachis across the street or the skaters doing their tricks. Everything on the menu seems delicious so I try something new every time. This week I went with my husband who had the Al Pastor Bowl and I had the Diana's Pupusa plate. I'd been really interested in trying these because they are made with yellow corn and the fillings can include the traditional loroco and beans, but also nopales and I love nopales! As a plus the plate was delivered with delicious steamed platanos. The food is well cooked, fairly priced and served at a reasonable time. No long waits. Carlos, the owner is often there to greet you and even though you can place your order via the QR code, he comes by and takes your order. I need to eat here more. Next time, I will try Patricia's Pozole and Felipa's Stuffed Platanos. read more

I haven't been here in years. I was in the community and decided to stop by I ordered some taquitos The photo showed it had guacamole but I didn't see that it stated did not include guacamole. It was very dry, I ordered a side salad it was $7.50 for a small side salad. I went back got the black bean pupusas very dry. Would I recommend yes. Would I come back ? No no no now I remembered why I stop coming. To expensive and the food is not that great. Just because Boyle heights got gentrified doesn't mean you have to too. read more

Omg I don't even know where to start. This place is just amazing. Please please visit it and support this local place. We need it to stay for many years to come. Everything is vegan and actually very healthy. Unlike other places that claim to be healthy this local place is actually one of the healthiest. They use organic, clean, fresh, and delicious ingredients, including healthy cooking oil, not toxic and inflammatory seed oils. I have tried many dishes and they have been nutritious, comforting, and delicious. My mom is an amazing hispanic cook, and I grew up with many of these dishes. She has competition now LOL! I tried their pupusas and they're the absolute best, fresh maize dough (masa), no lard, not greasy, no unhealthy and toxic vegan cheese, simply great. Also, their enchiladas are devine, they're fresh, great, and delicious. They make them to order and not to mentioned their tortillas are hand made, yum! I also tried their bfast tofu with cactus (nopales) and it was extraordinary. Deserts are also delicious! Also, the service here is delightful. The owner is very friendly, kind, funny, and caring. The ambiance is also pleasant, relaxing, and cozy. Please don't think it twice and give them a try, you won't regret it. read more

Cute spot & serves healthy food in the community! Love that they have different serving size options (bowls versus platters) so I can properly satisfy the appetite I have at the time. The servers are really attentive too. Would totally recommend checking this spot out for some healthy, yummy vegan food! read more

We made the (not-so) mistake of watching a vegan food show on YouTube that featured vegan pupusas. While the vegan pupusas they featured were not from here, this prompted an impromptu vegan pupusa date night. We got two chipilin and bean pupusas and one loroco and bean. They didn't have a cheese option (or I missed it), and I admit, I was a bit apprehensive to have a pupusa without cheese, but I should not have been. The masa's consistency was chewy and moist and delicious, and balanced the mashed beans and the veggies perfectly. I just wish they gave more of the curtido and salsa. My partner got a pozole verde with mushrooms. We also got a champurrado and some fried plantains. Everything was so delicious. This is a small space, so I can imagine it can get crowded (although when we went, it was ok - got filled up the later it got) -- we parked on the street a couple blocks down. read more

Finally had the opportunity to come back again and now it's a 100% vegan restaurant. Spoke with the owner and he said he focuses on using natural food and not the processed stuff. He was really nice and told me about his journey. I ordered Sandra's Saltado (Peruvian entree. Choice of tofu or Portobello mushroom, cooked with tomato, red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, and home fries. Brown rice and house salsa on the side.) I also ordered the nopalitos and cholay (Indian curry chickpeas ) tacos on the side. My girlfriend had the Picadillo (lentils) burrito. Food was extremely flavorful. We weren't a fan of the cholay. Nopalitos taco was the favorite! It's a small place with one large table of about 8 in the middle of the room and two tall chairs tables for 2. It was a chill ambiance. People picked up Togo orders and left. There is one gender neutral restroom in the back. Parking can get tricky. Glad we easily found one on the street on a Saturday early evening. Located across the street from Mariachi Plaza. They're not open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. read more
