Well, it should have been my first clue on how this dinner was going to be when the server told us the food wasn't that great. ? We had a large group, by the time we got our drink orders the server got one, then left. Chips not great. Salsa not good at all. Main dishes were not good. The beans were horrible, rice I'd say almost tasted stale, and the portions for the price. YIKES. I'm not sure I'd want more to be honest. We tried several things between the group of 15. From chimichanga, to asada burrito, to fajita burrito, to the enchiladas. I'd say the only decent thing was the drinks (margaritas) and the taco salad.

It's a chain restaurant, so don't go in thinking you're going to get authentic, tasty food. I love a good chicken mold, but theirs was clearly from a package and not freshly made. The staff were so overworked that they didn't have time to get our order right. They offered a free Margarita but when I told them I don't drink they walked away. I won't be going back
Damn, this is not the El Sarape that I remember from years ago. My advice? Don't bother. Overpriced, poor quality and lacking service.You'd be better off eating the beans out of the can and making a burrito yourself at home.Giving it a second star only because it has really cool light decorations inside.
So much food and such good flavor. They actually took the time to not just sub out the non vegan ingredients but to put stuff in its place that’s substantial. Will take a family or visiting guest there. Would recommend the non vegans to try these dishes Updated from previous review on 2022-09-27 Book a table now
To be honest, what pushed them to four stars was having a whole separate vegan menu. The food won’t blow you away, but it was good and I appreciate having places with multiple vegan options that are also a good place to eat out with non-veg people. Updated from previous review on 2022-08-17
Being from California and Moving to WA i never thought I would eat authentic vegan Mexican food at a restaurant again. Wow, was I wrong!! Since finding this place I’ve gone back three times, everyone is so nice and the vegan menu is extensive and everything I’ve had is amazing.
We order off the vegan menu ALL THE TIME. It’s very good and plentiful portion. It is fairly pricey but we can often get two meals out of one order and it’s great for groups with non-vegan eaters.
What a great atmosphere. The food was amazing and so were the drinks. The staff was super friendly! We will definitely be back! Book a table now
I am picky about my food, especially enchiladas and this is by far the best I've had from a restaurant. So freaking good!
Comfortable setting with very cute decorations. Food and drinks are always amazing. The service here is always fast!
