I have celiac disease and i forgot i even had it by dining at Tacowala!!! The food was so fresh and they had a wide range of items. I am so excited to come back here especially because of the fun atmosphere and friendly staff!
I ordered from the app and got a decaf lavender latte and a cookie. I loved that there was a decaf option as well as the infusions being clearly labeled what was vegan and/or gluten free. I loved that they had some vegan food options as well. The latte was delicious and I would come back again for that if I'm in the area. What was not so great is that, even though I was ordering at 11am, before I would even expect a lunch rush, so many things were sold out. I was hoping to try the vegan BLT and a doughnut but those things were not available. Even the cookie I ordered was not available by the time I got there and I had to settle for another flavor. I would consider meeting a friend here for a morning coffee but not for lunch considering how fast everything sells out.
This place is amazing! The food is delicious and the menu is very accommodating to gluten allergies as well as lots of vegan options. The staff is kind and the atmosphere is really nice!
Colorful venue, great service and clean. They have gluten free options. Our waitress was awesome, very knowledgeable and thoughtful, double checked my order and recommended gf options. My fish taco was great. The chips were so fresh that we finished the entire basket. š
Food was great! This review is for my first experience which was this past Sunday - so the bar and restaurant was slow, not a lot of people. I canāt really blame them for it looking slow on a Sunday but I imagine the atmosphere is a lot better when there is more people. The style of the bar and dining room is very nice though.
Between 4 people we shared 2 appetizers - the Village Nachos w/chicken and the Spinach and Artichoke Dip. The bites of chicken for the nachos was cooked perfectly and overall the nachos were very good (sorry for the blurry photo). I couldnāt stop picking on the Spinach and Artichoke Dip either.
For my main, I normally donāt go for alternative proteins or vegetarian or vegan meals but was looking for a lighter option that wasnāt a salad and opted for the Black Bean Burger. I may not be able to give a fair review as I donāt eat black bean burgers often, but I can tell that this was definitely a consciously made black bean burger. Structurally, it mostly held up but bits would occasionally fall off while eating. Not something I took much issue with at all, as I assume there was no egg or breadcrumbs used, possibly keeping it vegan and/or gluten free. I couldnāt tell you exactly how it was made into a patty. The taste however I thought was very good, for me it tasted mostly of cumin. I chose the house āvillage simpleā salad as a side, which I was actually extremely surprised by as the dressing was outstanding for a simple salad in my opinion.
I had their Witbier/Wheat Beer - Nit Wit along with my meal which I enjoyed as well.
Overall experience was positive. I was surprised that the service seemed a bit slow for how seemingly slow it appeared. I donāt think it interfered that much with my overall experience though, our server was very nice.
We came here in date night. Max is an awesome bar tender. They had gluten free options for my husband. The food was stellar and we had a great evening.
My friend and I came here for dinner tonight.
It is was an awful experience. The restaurant messed up my order (gluten makes me INCREDIBLY sick and there was gluten in my dishā¦) and then they told me that they would be charging me for it regardless. They did not offer to make it again correctly. They DID offer to wrap it up so that I could take it home!???? Make that make sense.
I did not ultimately pay, but I had to stand my ground pretty firmly to make that clear.
I was told that if it should happen again, I would be responsible for the bill.
Iāve never had such a ridiculous experience in my life. Iām truly appalled.
Additionally, my clams were extra fishy and not cleaned well.
My friendās dish was also incorrectā¦
Wonderful service and food!!! The owner is so very nice. I ordered Kashari and asked him if I can please have the macaroni omitted from the dish being I eat gluten free. He reiterated all the items the dish has in it, and said ā and no macaroniā. We ordered baba ghanoush along with it to take out. He made a joke that he gave me extra macaroni. I knew he was kidding. When I opened the container it smelled amazing! I have had Kashari at other restaurants but here it is the BEST!! Great food, real food, not processed. Very nice man who seems to love what he does. If you like Mediterranean food, it doesnāt get any better. Itās a very small place, but he has tables just outside which is so nice to sit out and people watch. Go grab some food here, you will not be disappointed.
