So true.....So good but so rude...

Yes, as others have mentioned they really are the rudest and most arrogant servers. No one ever smiles there and they practically throw your food at you. I call ahead and pick it up on my way somewhere else so I don't have to sit in there. It's a cute, punk-rock, little place, but I can't stand bad service. I return for the food and the food alone. The Tofu, mushroom, potato burrito is better than sex and I've heard great things about other menu items (although I can't seem to pick anything else). I tip low or take it to go so I don't have to tip. I honestly don't think that tipping is a requirement. Like any job we should all get paid well and it's not my fault if they don't. I get extras and gifts at my job because I do my job well and I'm very friendly. These folks get low tips because they are SUPER rude. It's not that difficult to be friendly to customers. If it is then get a different job!

Pros: Amazing food, Prices good

Cons: Terrible Service

Sooo Good

Okay - let me preface this by saying that the service is slow. If you want a quick meal go somewhere else. If you want some of the best Vegan Mexican food in San Diego go to Pokez. I've yet to have anything that I did not love! Also, there is a tattoo shop right down the block that uses all Vegan ink (ask for Eternal Ink) called Seven Seas. Ask for Sergio as he does excellent work!

BOMB!

Little busy went on my lunch break took 30 minz for my food, but over heard the waitress say that one of the cooks called in sick. Plenty of cool stuff to look at on the walls while your waiting. But most importantly the food was AWESOME. Tofu, Mushroom Taco GREAT!!!!!
