My friend had previously been here and considered a favorite. A "100% plant-based tacos and burritos" spot. Sorry to say, the name fits here, because I think I'd have to be a drunk to come back. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it surprisingly wasn't very busy which was odd to me. To start they have the scan menu way of ordering which I've never been a fan of to be honest. With Covid I kind of understood but I think since that has died down for the most part, physical menus should be an option. It turns out you have to do everything through the scan - select your options pay, and everything. My phone doesn't work well with those scan things and the reception wasn't great for me or my friend either, so it just turned into a hassle. So, I finally order. I got the "impossible Burg'r taco crumbles" bowl it was alright, have had better plant-based bowls like this. Tried some of my friends Oshi Blackened Salmon. Not good at all. Chewy and slimy. Both of these bowls + chips with salsa was like $50. Unacceptable. I usually don't make direct comparisons in my reviews but Rojo's Mexican over on James st., maybe a 10-minute drive from here is más excellente compared to this place in price, presentation, taste just.... everything. Seriously it's not even a competition. Lastly the service. There were like two ladies whom I guess were employees they were hanging out behind the bar, sort of bussing tables. but like 3 tables still had things from previous customer or just hadn't been wiped off. It wasn't even that busy which as I mentioned above was surprising. Saturday afternoon. Pike Place. Not busy = red flag. Skip El Borracho. read more
