Reviews
The food was delicious, with a nice amount of variety on the menu. The outdoor seating was very nice, it was a good balance of being outdoors and being sheltered from the elements. With the shade overhead, I imagine it'd even be pleasant midday during the summer. There was also a DJ playing music (this was a Sunday), which I didn't expect but was fun.
My only complaint is that it took a while (~30 minutes) just to get our orders taken. This didn't seem like it was a typical wait, given how a few other tables who sat down at basically the same time seemed to get served much more quickly. Overall though it was still a great experience!
This was my first time here and the food and staff are superb! Ramon our server explained the different vegan dishes along with gluten free options and checked for allergies based on our questions. Everything was so delicious. They offer valet parking and have a pleasant outdoor seating to enjoy your meal. I definitely will be going back and highly recommend this restaurant for food, atmosphere and service!!! Thank you to the staff at Gracias Madre for making our visit so welcoming!!
I love the vibe of this place. The inside is so chic and relaxing. It's well designed. We dined indoors but facing the patio which was nice. We tried the salsa trio which was good and spicy. We added the pineapple salsa which was good as well. We split the Caesar salad and I didn't love it. It felt sorta bland and definitely needed more dressing but it was a good size. We also tried two different tacos and I those were wonderful. My friend said it was the best vegan taco they have ever had. I feel like everything was a good value. Wish I ordered something else to drink though because the water tasted off.
In town for business and popped into the Newport Beach location for brunch. Sat at the bar with Carrie and she was wonderful! Gave me so many recommendations and was very attentive. The Ser Mia was probably one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had in my life. The esquites starter is also a must. Decor and atmosphere is beautiful, 10/10 recommend and will be back!
Delicious Vegan Mexican food. Everything was very flavorful. The ambience is great. Service was excellent. Multiple servers continued to make sure we were happy and refill drinks. I love how you can light candles and write a prayer.
I love this restaurant. Whether in West Hollywood or in Newport Beach it has well balanced flavors. Each restaurant has a different vibe but at their core food excellence is important. I ordered an Enchiladas Verdes with Asada added. Let’s just say it. Plant Based and delicious that’s what’s going on here.
This trendy restaurant is a hidden gem in Newport Beach serving locally sourced vegetarian food. Crafty cocktails are delicious. Ambiance and decor is beautiful and cozy. Server was friendly & tentative. Came here to celebrate my birthday with my girlfriend. I am a vegetarian so this place was perfect. Food was delicious and love the flavors, all vegetarian! Ordered the prix fixe power lunch and shared dishes with my friend. We started with the Queso Fundido with a nice kick of spiciness and the fresh Ceviche - all so tasty with a burst of flavors. We then shared the Little Gem Caesar and 3 taco flight. The 3 tacos were so yummy with so many flavors - sweet, smoky and spicy. All so unique full of nice flavors. I really want to come back to try the other dishes.
Service was exceptional. Not particularly vegan eater but for their offering it was very tasty. Tequila selection was superb and cocktails very well made.
