It was ok. Nothing great. I would not say healthy. Ordered potato tacos and everything was deep fried. Little flavor. Disappointed.

Just finished an incredibly delicious fresh meal here. I asked the cashier about cross contamination and she said if we specify the chef will use a pan instead of the flat top to reduce the risk. The fryer is only gluten free. I tested 3 items with my Nina tester and all smiles! No gluten found.

NOT gluten free friendly at all! Lady behind the counter did not even know what options were gluten free, and the first two dishes my wife asked for they were out of stock! We ended up going somewhere else. The menu does not state what is GF...

Amazing vegan Mexican food. This is a real find. The restaurant isn’t fancy but the food is delicious. Lots of gluten-free options too. The staff was very knowledgeable about what could be made gluten-free. We had the taquitos, a taco ranchero, and a chick’n taco with hot sauce. All were great. I think even meat eaters would like the food here. So glad we gave this place a try.

Expeceptional food at good prices. We had five dinners in our party and we each ordered different entrees and each was deliousous. We will return every time we visit Pacific Grove. I wish they would open a restaurant in Sonoma Country for we would be regulars.

All vegan facility with a mostly gf menu. Corn tortillas can be subbed for anything and they're homemade, so I don't know why anyone would want wheat tortillas anyway! The fish tacos are gluten, but the other meats are soy-free mushroom-based or soy-based. Daiya cheese, but not too much-- this food doesn't need to be drowned in cheese anyway. Refried beans were delicious. Wish I'd had room for dessert!
