    Cinnamon Toast Crunch Crusted PB & J
    Tiyra R.

    This is a ghost restaurant in the food hall which wasn't apparent to us so that was a tad bit annoying and confusing which is why I took off a star. The food was solid. I didn't care for the seasoning on the tots but that's more personal preference. The steak n cheese was great, as were the egg rolls and pb&j sandwich. I actually enjoyed the pb&j a lot more than I expected.

    Vegan Junk Food is a must!! The atmosphere is exactly what a ghost kitchen should be. I went there for a lunch date and we were a bit confused when we first arrived, because it is not its own location. We walked in and were able to choose from a variety of places to dine while waiting for our order. It was seamless and easy. Our food came in about 20 minutes and the services were so sweet. The second time we ate there, we ordered take out and it was still amazing. The packaging is simple and it keeps your food warm. I would recommend ordering at least 20-25 minutes before you get there. Trust me, it is more than worth the wait! We have tried the Philly cheesesteak, the impossible burger (so filling and delicious - I inhaled the burger in seconds!), the tots, the junky tots, the apple cobbler and the banana pudding, and both of the lemonades. Everything was a 10/10, zero complaints. We will definitely be returning. Things to consider: - Price: If you're looking for a cheap and quick meal, this is not the place to go. All entrees are $15+ and $20+ for a meal. - Menu: The food is creatively made so the menu is quite limited. There aren't a ton of options, but the options that they have are filling, delicious and fun. - Location: The location can be confusing if you're going for the first time. It is located inside of a food hall with other food vendors. You must scan the QR code on the table to order your food. It's easy once you get the hang of it though. ** Excuse the photos, it was a late night takeout type of night and I had to use the flash from inside the car. The pictures do not do it justice!

    This was my first time trying Vegan Junk Food. When I arrived I was unsure of where it was located because there was no sign. After walking around the block I realized the location is like a food market and it's one of the many places inside. I ordered the tots and bang bang broccoli egg rolls. The tots were really good. A little on the sweet side but I enjoyed them. The Broccoli Egg Rolls I do not recommend because the broccoli was just steamed and placed in the egg roll and fried. There was no seasoning on the broccoli at all. The Bang Bang sauce was very good which helped it but I would not purchase that again. The only reason I am giving this place a four star is because the tots and Bang Bang sauce saved the meal. The pricing was kind of high to me. I can't say I would be back.

    Went today with my good girlfriend! Very confusing place at first...so they're inside La Fantom food hall. You can sit at any table, scan the QR Code and choose from their menu. It will be brought out once it's ready. Drinks can be ordered from the bar. I was a little disappointed because they had a smaller menu than what I was expecting. Nonetheless, I ordered the cheesesteak and loaded tots. My friend got the A1 burger and that was theeeeee best along with totts. The cheesesteak was average and wasn't really worth it to me. We ordered banana pudding and they came out 20 minutes later to say they didn't have it. For the price I am not sure if I would return....

    Leftover tots with Philly meat and bang bang eggrolls

    Ok, so I've been vegan off and on for the past 10 years. And grew up in a vegan household so I'm quite familiar with vegan food, junk or otherwise. But when I tell you how disgustingly unappetizing this food was, it's no joke. I was really hoping from the instagram pics and videos that they were onto something. Just goes to show that looks can be deceiving. We tried the broccoli eggrolls, tater tots, philly cheesesteak, and mushroom burger, mostly all disappointing. The bang bang sauce had bang but not much else. The broccoli wasn't seasoned either. The tots were seasoned too much, salty asf! The cheesesteak was not appetizing at all. I love vegetables of all kinds but who puts kale in a cheesesteak. The flavors didn't go well together. It all just tasted like plastic wrap. Surprisingly my husband's mushroom burger was good, well the fried mushrooms were. Their juices are delicious. But sadly I've removed them from my IG and Yelp. I don't mind throwing money away when it comes to trying new food spots, especially vegan. Everyone has different palates but this food angered me and my pockets. I even took the eggrolls and cheesesteak as a baggy home to rework and it was still awful. It's called vegan junk food, I guess because it's not healthy vegan. But there's no lie, but it was in fact junk, but not at all food. Good luck but I'd save my coins and check out Hip City Veg if you prefer a vegan cheesesteak.

    Vegan Philly CheezSteak  and Totties

    The food was amazing , I'm not vegan and I would eat hear all the time. I got the Vegan Philly CheezSteak and the totties. Best tatter tots I've had in years. Also the drinks from the bar we super strong and they have nice happy hour prices

    I'm not about to play with y'all. Go try this food. Me and my peoples ordered a bunch of food and split it.  EVERYTHING WAS GOOD!!

I would describe them as a combination of classic and elevated Latin food. The vibe of the restaurant is very casual, but the presentation of many of the dishes takes it to another level.

Could work on those fried plantains as they were a little soggy. The quinoa salad was good, a bigger portion would have been nice for the price paid and maybe if it would be easier to eat if served in a bowl. The chorizo sandwich was okay. Presentation and bread could be better. We left curious about their regular menu so we may give it a try some other time. Their staff were nice but not very knowledgeable about their menu items. They didn't really know how to answer my question about their vegan tres leches and told me it was not actually vegan after indicating it had condensed milk and heavy cream.

Cielo Rojo is a family-owned contemporary Mexican restaurant in Takoma Park, MD. The space is bright, colorful, and festive, the staff is warm and attentive, and the food and cocktails are unique and DELISH! I was side-eyeing the Heirloom Savory Waffle because I wasn't quite sure what to expect. But baby...it was interestingly delish! It leaned savory, with local smoked ham, Oaxaca cheese, watercress, queso fresco, avocado, and jalapeño vinaigrette, while the local maple syrup added just the right hint of sweetness. My only regret? Not ordering an egg over easy to go with it. That runny yolk would've taken this dish OVER. THE. TOP! I did order it to go with my leftovers. The Tuna Tostadas were another winner as it was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. And then there were the sips! The Mezcla Perfecto, made with clarified coconut milk punch, mezcal, lemon, agave, coffee beans, and sparkling water, was light, smooth, and beautifully balanced with sweet and citrusy notes. And the Un Millón de Primaveras was another lovely tequila cocktail. Bianca and Kiarra took great care of me at the bar. And Bianca and I even had a much-needed MAFS "gurl, what about..." moment. Sometimes brunch comes with food, cocktails, AND a little good conversation. And I'm here for all three! Thank you, Cielo Rojo, for the delicious meal, yummylicious sips, and the nice convo. But don't just take my word for it. Go experience the yummyliciousness for yourself! Mmmm... #BonAppetit! Cheers! Enjoy!

The queso was good, but we would have preferred that chorizo. The waitress didn't check back with us until dinner was served so we didn't have time to add it. The tuna crudo was good, but too much sesame going on there and it took away from the deliciousness of that tuna crudo. I would give it a 3 out of 5. Now for the real deal...the birria was outstanding. The brisket meat comes in the consommé and is absolutely amazing. You have to get this! The carne asada was also the bomb! The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare as we ordered it and the crust was so good you didn't need any of the sauces. I ate the steak separately and saved the rest to eat as sides with that super spicy jalapeño. Everything on the dish was worth the $45. With the last two dishes as good as they were, this place is a 5 star restaurant all day long. It's with the drive and the restaurant is clean and runs like a well oiled machine.

This was a good spot, definitely a hole in the wall so I do suggest making a reservation.
