Vegan Mexican rest. is very rare. Food was delicious. Loved their Cashew Cream. Highly recommend Gorditas and Pazole. No complimentary chips. Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita was spicy & refreshing.

I could eat guacamole anywhere, but I like that they serve it here with warm tortillas rather than the usual chips. Try the hominy. Fruit cocktails are a great accompaniment to the meal.

All of the food is so packed with bold flavor, you won't even notice the menu is completely vegan. Don't miss the Coliflor Frito or famed Quesadilla de Camote and read more on WinstonWanders below!! Read more

I literally can't wait to return & could have easily ordered every item on the menu. creamy horchata, deep mole, cashew cheese, coconut bacon, Sangria... cool spot and friendly staff. VEGANWIN. 🥑🌮🌱

One of the most tasty restaurants in the city, vegan or no. A bit of a wait around dinnertime. Get the quesadillas de camote, though beware—they are seriously filling. Save room for the mole.

I am very much not a vegan but this is my favorite restaurant in SF. Butternut squash quesadillas. Fried plantain tacos. Soju margarita.

Food is on point - start with the Totopos + Guacamole and end with the Peach Cobbler. Pro-tips: add coconut bacon to your tacos and skip the green "juice" (it's a lemony, watery hot mess)

Give their chilaquiles (tortilla chips simmered in a spicy tomato salsa, drizzled with cashew crema, cilantro & avocado, served with black beans), the open face enchiladas, & the peach cobbler a try. Read more

This is the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant I've tried! Delicious food, great service & comfortable environment. You gotta try the Totopos! Hands up! 🙌🏼😋
Steven WakuuMay 18, 2018
Such delicious vegan food options - you can't tell the difference! This spot is pretty crowded just like Los Angeles, but worth the wait. Go and put your name down and get your taste buds ready!

I can only describe the vegan Mexican food of Gracias Madre as a truly unexpected experience of culinary genius. Regardless of if you're a vegan, go for it. You won't be sorry. Read more

Fantastic vegan mexican food. The best! Really enjoyed the Tamale and the bowl. Food was full of flavor, yet still not very heavy like a lot of mexican restaurants tend to be. Highly recommended.
Laura F.August 14, 2014
Awesome food, spotty service. We got seated before another party that shared the table with us, but they got their food first. Free guac and tortilla appetizers but they also forgot to give to us.
Katerina AnnaAugust 29, 2017
Mind blowing food! Their BLTA is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Even a meat lover could be converted here. Excellent 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Everything is great, the bowls are my favorites. Or if they have jackfruit order it twice and take one home it’s that good!

This vegan Mexican spot is as popular as the day the handsome metal grates opened. Items like the open faced enchiladas and mashed black beans prove that the food can bridge the carnivore divide. Read more

One of the best vegetarian restaurants in town. Amazing food & atmosphere. You cant go wrong w any order. Try Brussel sprouts while you wait for the main course
Ajay KulkarniJanuary 3, 2015
Some of the best Mexican food I've had. Quesadillas are amazing. Ask for the special hot sauce. Add it liberally to everything.
Jennifer PoreJuly 11, 2018
Amazing vegan Mexican food. Even a non-vegan won’t miss the cheese. The tempeh chorizo was a stand out!
Ashley MowreyMay 30, 2015
I used to really love this place, my recent visits have yielded abrasive waiters, entrees being served before apps & half the table waiting while the other half eats. Those tortillas though... Perfect
Gaurav B.August 7, 2014
Sangria is great and the mushrooms were really well cooked. That's all good I have to say. They try to make their vegan food delish by deep frying everything!
Christine WuMarch 22, 2015
Absolutely amazing flavors. The Tamal mojado was rich and filling, and the empanada was Devine! They have a 24-hour reservation policy, so call ahead!
TedMarch 11, 2017
I'm not a vegan and am usually hesitant about vegan food. But Gracias Madre was amazing! The food is very flavorful and with big portions!
VegNews MagazineAugust 29, 2012
Mmm, Quesadillas de Calabaza. Warm butternut squash and caramelized onions fill two fluffy tortillas, while the house-made cashew nacho cheese and pumpkin seed salsa make this dish entrée-worthy.
SFistAugust 3, 2014
Some of the nicest vegan fare in the Mission. Chilaquiles, the open face enchiladas, and the peach cobbler are noteworthy. Read more
Timothy HongOctober 16, 2017
Flavorful and fresh, can't believe everything is vegan! Totodos (chips) to share. I got the enchiladas verde which were fantastic.
Danielle WallisDecember 8, 2014
Fantastic vegan Mexican food. Can't say enough great things about this place. I was even enjoying their eclectic Saturday night music playlist!
AmberMay 22, 2017
Unlike EVERYWHERE else, you're not allowed to sit at the bar to bypass waiting for tables. The bartender will tell you testily to go see the hostess. The food is great, though.
Allison AbbottJuly 10, 2015
Sweet potato quesadilla big enough to be a dinner in itself! You'll be seated at large tables with other parties - I think that's kind of cool, but not everyone's scene.
Well + AwayMarch 31, 2016
Don't miss the pumpkin and cashew cheese quesadillas, fried cauliflower (WORTH IT) and avocado ceviche. Read more
Kayliegh BarnesJune 29, 2013
Peach habanero margarita, Quesadilla appetizer and chilequiles FTW! Had no idea it was vegan when I arrived. Perfect 10. My date got some big point for bringing me here :)
DailyCandyDecember 31, 2013
"High-end Mexican fare, showcasing only natural ingredients in meat- and cheese-free enchiladas, gorditas, and tacos. Even the most obnoxious of omnivores can get down with quesadillas de camote."
LexaDecember 10, 2017
The sweet potato quesadillas were our favorite, as were the flautas de campote! Vegan and filling and very tasty!
Taylor LeeJune 19, 2018
Even if you are not vegan, this place is super delicious. Very flavorful food including the flautas de camote and tres bowl!
Kevin GMay 17, 2018
Amazing, amazing, amazing all vegan Mexican food. A little pricey, but completely worth every bite.
JCFebruary 24, 2014
I am very particular about guacamole, but what they serve here is amazing! And it comes w/ tortillas instead of chips!
LenaSeptember 19, 2014
Vegan, gluten free Mexican food. I loved guacamole! Good place but the service is a little bit slow.
Pam ☕️ OFebruary 29, 2016
Esta rico el pozole. Light savory broth that is delicious with cashew crema. Great Sunday brunch dish.
Margot MazurOctober 17, 2015
Come during happy hour and get one of everything. That includes the sangria. The red salsa on the table is a necessity. 💕🔥😋
ViaggiatriceApril 15, 2019
Wonderful, creative vegan food. Margaritas to die for. I went twice in my three days in SF.
GourmetLiveJune 3, 2011
Food blogger Genie Gratto says, “Don’t miss the enchiladas con mole, which are topped with cashew cheese so good you won’t believe it’s made from nuts! They also make fabulous guacamole"
Kyle CampbellMay 15, 2015
Save room for the Apple-strawberry Cobblerserved warm with toasted coconut ice cream. A MUST!!
Sarah LizFebruary 17, 2014
Butter nut squash quesadilla is a messy must. Flavors come together nicely and I forgot I was eating vegetarian.
Heather RodriguezMay 12, 2018
Great vegan Mexican. Excellent sake and tequila drinks.
Diana DumbraveanMarch 7, 2015
Vegan Mexican food? Delicious! Better than most Mexican places I tried. Quesadilla was devine!
Meg FarmerApril 2, 2017
I was skeptical at first, but this place was fantastic. Drinks were strong, food was delish, atmosphere was lively.
AleNovember 20, 2016
The freshest, most fulfilling mexican cuisine. Try the Coliflor Frito and the Empanadas (filled with smoky plantains).
SJune 14, 2016
An amazing combination of sweet, spice and mild flavor in one dish
joahnnaMay 18, 2015
The sweet potato quesadilla is delicious and filling. Really good food and healthier/less greasy than traditional Mexican food.
Christian DickmannMarch 26, 2016
Loved the bowl dos and strawberry margarita. The whole place was great and I will be back to try more.
