Love it but not the lunch menu - Edit
I usually love it here, despite the VERY high prices. However, the lunch menu is too limited and not very good. For sure great for dinner though.

Great food wonderful ambiance! - Edit
We love Gracias Madre so much we willingly battled the 101, the 405, and even Wilshire Blvd. to get there—now that’s commitment. This West Hollywood gem has been serving up bold, flavorful plant-based dishes since 2014, and it’s easy to see why it’s still a favorite.
Read moreThe menu has a great balance of clean, healthy options and indulgent bites that are totally worth it. The outdoor patio is perfect for soaking up that LA sunshine, and the cocktails? Legendary. People don’t just come for the food—they come for the vibe.
Whether it’s a Tuesday lunch or a Sunday brunch (which, by the way, is excellent), the ambiance never misses. Just a heads-up: it’s in the heart of WeHo, so parking can be a bit of an adventure. But honestly, if we lived closer, we’d probably be here three times a week—minimum. In the words of our server, and please use your best LA accent for this, “Perfect, Awesome”.
Pros: Food, Ambiance, Serivces

Could be great - Edit
This place has all the pieces to be excellent, but felt like it fell a bit short. Parts of the dishes were great (like the mushrooms), but others (like the ceviche) seemed to be missing the final touch.
Read moreThe service was not great (got forgotten for a long time), but the vibe is very cool.

Delicious Mexican cuisine - Edit
The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, airy and inviting. They have outdoor seating and in the evening with the fireplace on it's really magical.
Read moreThe food itself was great! I most enjoyed the Queso dip. It was spicy and fresh! The gorditas and the lion's mane tacos were also delicious. I love to see Mexican cuisine elevated like this. Wide selection of delicious drinks. I definitely recommend.
Pros: Delicious menu and drinks, Good service, Beautiful decor and terrace

Perfect - Edit
This restaurant was close to our hotel and we didn't realise how amazing it was until we got there. Our server was the best😄we splurged and got a few cocktails they had seasonal ones for halloween, the ceviche to start was a highlight for me! I got the masa cakes with huitlacoche (corn fungus!!) And my partner got the lionsmane tacos - both incredible but the masa cake won the show. Tres leches cake for dessert!! Was pricey but so worth it!

Everything we've had here has been really good, but always lacking something to push it over the top. Will definitely still return.

Elevated Mexican - Edit
First went to GM in San Francisco over 10 years ago and it was an instant hit with my Omni husband. He asked to go again and didn’t hesitate to indulge him. For the queso and guac to start. The queso was very hearty and had a stretch like I’d never seen before. The gauc was very fresh. I let the Hubs order and we got the maitake machaca fajitas and gorditas de chicharrón… I loved the gorditas! The mushrooms were fried perfectly. I didn’t have much of the fajitas, but the hubs enjoyed them and I figured they’d be the better item to reheat later. Overall great food and service. Not to mention a gorgeous patio.

I had put off going here for a while until I heard the SF location closed suddenly so I made sure to come by and support them and not take them for granted.
Read moreThis is the best vegan Mexican restaurant. Everything from location, decor, presentation and of course menu is top rate.
I even picked up one of the chef’s cookbooks here and been replicating them at home.
This place is a must.
Pros: Food, Ambiance , Great coolbook
Cons: Parking can be a little bit of a challenge
