The Aztec Burrito was delicious! Everything on the menu looked tasty ... Can't wait to go back to try more 😋

This is a somewhat eclectic spot on the Hampden main street. They offer a wide variety of entrees (with a southwestern/hispanic twist), including burgers, burritos, and enchiladas. All were tasteful and decently sized portions, but were quite pricey. They have lots vegan options, and supposedly started the first Vegan Week in america. They have a lot of seating indoors and can accomodate larger groups. Definitely worth a visit!

The food, the service, the location, everything is amazing! I have always enjoyed brunch at this location, but decided to try their lunch services with my office for our holiday get-together! What a wonderful experience working with Sam and the team! Everything was so nicely done and we truly felt spoiled! We had a variety of dietary restrictions: vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, and everything was very accommodating. A great location for our group and the food, just delicious! Thank you!

This is thebcoolest diner you'll ever visit. The unique decor (Buffalo heads, antique ceiling, dolly Parton on the bathroom stalls, and old portraits) makes this place a delight to visit. You'll see something new each time you swing by. The owner is friendly and the food is good for the vegetarians and the carnivores among you. The vegan food needs work as what is on the menu is highly processed and salty...but at least they gave it a shot.

This place is great! They had a specialty drink menu, and the drinks were delicious and huge! We didn't eat this time but I cannot wait to go back. They have a gluten free menu, and a ton of vegan stuff!

What a beautiful, creative, peaceful, uplifting design both in place and menu!! Excellent service. I look forward to returning. We were there on a Friday at 10am and with about 11 tables of guests it was easy to have conversation.

Two friends and I had brunch here today and the food & staff was excellent! There was a short wait (despite it being a Sunday morning) with seating inside. The menu is fantastic with plenty of choices like alcoholic & non-alcoholic crafted beverages and insanely good appetizer, meal, & desert choices. The three of us shared several dishes and all throughly enjoyed everything! After our meal my friends and I wanted to take a few pictures with the gorgeous artwork inside (we were also dressed in costumes from a prior event) and of course, staff was extremely kind and let us take photos as long as we wanted. Thanks to the staff for making such a wonderful experience!

I’m not vegan at all, I literally will each any and everything, as long as it’s not still moving on my plate. But, I first visited here with a friend on 11/2/2025 and I was pleasantly pleased. My friend told me that we came while the restaurant was undergoing construction, but the place was still nice. They had moved the bar from the back of the restaurant to the front and was still in the midst of changing the atmosphere with more decorations. The food was amazing, I got the regular French toast and the stuffed corncake. Each were delicious and a must get again! My friend got the pumpkin curry soup and she wasn’t really a fan, so the waiter was super accommodating and offered to take it back to the kitchen. She loved the way my corncake looked and tasted that she wanted one of her own. We also got the vegan waffle and the cauliflower wings. The wings were breaded super well and were so crunchy with a good kick to them! The best I’ve ever tasted. We’ll most definitely be back.

Such a welcoming and warm service! They really made us feel at home. The food was delicious! I had the Goldi-lox Omelette and 🧑‍🍳💋, I think it was the best omelette I have ever had. My partner got the huevos Motuleños and also loved them. Finally, we got the Lisa Marie hot cake, which sounded “interesting and like such a weird combination,” but it was so good! Can’t wait to visit them again!
