Gracias Madre
Gracias Madre is a well-regarded restaurant that serves Mexican-inspired cuisine with a modern touch. The food is purely vegan. However, the food at Gracias Madre is far heartier than some vegan cuisine. Every food on the menu, from tacos and enchiladas to homemade chips and guacamole, is healthy and filling.
Gracias Madre uses regionally sourced seasonal ingredients and classic Mexican flavors. The organic Be Love Farm in Pleasant Valley, California, offers vegetables, and heirloom corn is used to make the hand-made tamales and tortillas. The nuts are used to make vegan cheeses. The dining area is warm and cheerful, with whitewashed walls, a wood-beamed ceiling, and sturdy wooden furniture that is reminiscent of historic Spanish Mission buildings. The dining room is lit by a few candles, rustic wall sconces, and soft lighting. However, due to the shared tables and bustling atmosphere, the overall ambiance is more sociable than romantic. In the evenings on Friday and Saturday, the restaurant is frequently extremely packed. It is advised to make reservations.
