Where do I start with this place? Yesterday morning was my…read morefirst visit, and before stopping in, I called to ask about vegan options. To my surprise, I found out the entire restaurant is 100% vegan! As someone who was working in the area and thought there weren't many vegan choices around, this was an exciting discovery. For breakfast, I couldn't decide between my usual go-to, a breakfast burrito, or chilaquiles, one of my all-time favorites. The woman helping me recommended the chilaquiles and asked if I preferred spicy or mild. I chose spicy and paired it with a lemon cucumber chia agua fresca. The service was immediately unique. I wasn't asked for my name or given a table number, just told to sit wherever I'd like. Somehow, the staff knew exactly where everything belonged. A gentleman brought my drink, and by the time I returned from the restroom, my food was already waiting for me. The presentation was beautiful. The plate was loaded with rice, beans, chips, cheese, onions, bell peppers, and extra onions on the side. How did they know I loved onions enough to have a full size? The salsa was absolutely perfect. In fact, I thought about that meal for the rest of the day. The food felt wholesome, fresh, and made with care. The portions are huge, especially considering the very reasonable prices. And as a vegan, finding flavorful beans that don't leave you regretting your choices later is always a win! The customer service deserves special recognition. Everyone was genuinely friendly and welcoming. The restaurant was packed when I arrived, yet everything ran smoothly. The dining room and bathrooms were spotless, and the whole place felt like a beloved local gem. The food was so memorable that I came back the very next day for dinner before heading home. Once again, I asked for recommendations. I accidentally ordered the wrong item and realized it a few minutes later. The staff was incredibly kind and accommodating, something that's unfortunately rare these days. This time, I ordered the potato enchiladas and borracho fajitas, plus a re-chicken taco as a snack for the drive. Everything was delicious. I also have to recommend the aguas frescas. The lemon cucumber chia was fantastic, and the watermelon agua fresca I tried on my second visit was perfect for the heat. Also they make random sweets during the week; such as pastries, cookies, etc. When a restaurant makes you come back the very next day, you know they're doing something right. Great food, generous portions, excellent prices, wonderful people, and a fully 100% vegan menu (that isn't all soy based). I'll definitely be back and highly recommend giving this place a try.

Parking is limited, so we were happy to snag one of the last spots. This is an order-at-the-counter spot with a salsa bar, hot beans, indoor and outdoor seating, and even Mexican Coke. Indoor seating is also pretty limited, so my friend and I were glad to grab one of the small tables. I ordered the lengua and asada tacos and both were flavorful, tender, and loaded with meat. I was honestly too hungry and eager to take a picture beforehand, but I can assure you the portions are plentiful. The tacos were a little greasy, but still really satisfying. Solid taco spot if you're in Pomona.

They had a good selection of meat choices.. I played it safe and ordered a Carne Asada burrito with everything to share with my dad. I definitely plan to come back and take both of my parents soon since this place is delicious and affordable. 10/10 recommend!

Unfortunately, we did have to wait around 30-40 minutes for the buffet to be ready.. we were served mimosas right away, which was nice. Now.. when it came down to the food, one person in my party did find a vey long hair in her chile relllenos. We made it know to our waitress.. which was a sweet person throughout everything!! Then we were told that the chilaquiles and taco station was now open.. so we headed down to it. There was no one to great us at the station. We stood around for around 10 minutes and no one showed up. So at that moment I grabbed a bowel of menudo. Lucky me!! I also grabbed a long hair in my menudo.. my sister in law thought it was a piece of onion but it was not! It was a very long strand of hair. At that point we all tried our best to make the best of it and enjoy the mariachi and mimosas. Then when I returned to the taco/chilaquile station the lady was very rude!! She bluntly asked what we wanted instead of telling us our options.. and I said I'll have 2 chorizo tacos please.. she said where's your plate?? I wasn't aware that I had to give her a plate to serve me. It was an overall horrible experience. Especially because we were literally the only party in the entire place besides the mariachi. The mariachi and our server were the only pleasant people that morning. I will never be returning.

From the moment we walked in, the staff was super welcoming and took the time to walk us through the menu and their specialties, which made ordering a lot easier. The shrimp tacos were a pleasant surprise--not your typical style. They're fried and topped with a flavorful sauce that really sets them apart. Solid choice if you want something a little different. The real star of the show was the Poseidon botana aguachiles. We were originally deciding between the Poseidon and the mixta, but they mentioned they could make the botana a Poseidon style, and that's what we went with. Absolutely delicious--super fresh and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this dish. We also tried the tostada de pescado (size small), which was probably my least favorite. It wasn't bad, just didn't stand out compared to everything else. I'd personally skip it next time. One thing to note--there's a small parking lot that was more full than expected given how many people were inside. It seems like it might be shared with nearby businesses, so just keep that in mind. Overall, great experience, great food, and I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu.

Our waiter was good at first, but after asking if they had a sauce that was more spicy... he said that there would be a extra charge. Soooo... I asked when they started charging extra... when several months ago it was free. Explanation was satisfactory. I ordered taquitos with extra sour cream that came with beans n rice. So when it arrived the rice was cool... the beans were barely warm. If you notice in my photo... there is no sour cream on my taquitos. The taquitos were warm at best. Some parts of the taquitos were hard and and some of the meat was cooked ok. There was several times that the waiter was MIA. He kept the drinks up pretty good until my question about the salsa. So I had to ask the busboy for refill on salsa. Less than a minute later my salsa was at my table. Unlike the five minutes wait for my sour cream. And when the bill came... our waiter went MIA again for 10 minutes. A very nice lady came by and took care of it. For the hostess at the door... I would have given five stars for you. But today we had a very disappointing adventure
