I have eaten here a few times and decided to leave an overall review this time. The food I had enjoyed in the past was their Chicken sandwiches and their fries was great too! I just had their burrito...and the taste was alright...it was just too much soy protein! I literally had to dig to find the rice.....Where were the beans, rice, and greens?? Nothing wrong with soy but it was overloaded. It didn't taste like a burrito to me....Otherwise everything else is fine. Their juices are great!

I've been rocking with this place since the grand opening! Literally it's my first stop after landing at Midway Airport. The best vegan comfort food that you'll ever have! Don't trust any reviews less than 5 stars!
