Gracias Madre

If you know me, you know I love a good vegan meal! Yes, I mean an actual meal and not just pizza. I was recently criticized for wasting quite some money on food and certain restaurants. But unlike some people I’d rather actually have a a tasteful meal, sorry not sorry.

I mean would you add cheap fuel to your car? I think not, so why not spend your money wisely when it comes to food.

Gracias Madre has been one of my favorite places for vegan food for a minute now, specially they’re Mango Sopes. To die for!

There’s just something I love about making my way to WeHo from downtown to have Mexican vegan food with some of my favorite people. When I say Mexican food I don’t mean nasty tacos or an oversized flavorless burrito. I’m talking about totopos con chile, quesadillas de calabaza, enchiladas con mole negro and flautas de camote. It can’t get any more Mexican than that, specially in WeHo.

The only down side, is having to make a reservation if you’re planning to get seated on a weekend night. But honestly, the wait is so worth it.
