Best vegan/gluten free burrito I've ever had, ate it on the beach at sunset and it was a 10/10 experience.

Not only is this place gorgeous, the waiter Joseph was so kind we came back 2 other times after. Joseph answered all our questions, greeted us with a kind and wonderful attitude, and was all smiles. I can say the service here? Gorgeous. The food here? Delicious. The atmosphere here? Upbeat. The view? Breathtaking. This is one of my favorite restaurants ever! And if you’re #glutenintolerant they’ve got you. The birds are also the entertainers. When you tip, they get part of it too ;)

This is my favorite Mexican food in Monterey. Not only is it soooo good, you get so much for such a great price! But, I also ordered online to see if there is a way to make the quesadillas celiac friendly and they were so accommodating and very on top of their recipes and made me a gluten free option that was so good. Very sweet people!!
