I’m giving this place 3 stars because I keep coming back for the food. The food is good. BUT service needs an overhaul. Loooong wait times: it might say 20 min wait but it’s really 50-60 min or longer. No real consistency with the food: food doesn’t look like the pictures they post; check what you order it might not be in the bag; barbequito says it comes with a side of mob sauce but they never include it and when you ask they’re like you didn’t pay for it. Some of their meals are very expensive: small portions for what you’ve paid. The staff: they just need to be friendly or courteous or act like they want you to eat the food. I just want the best for this place. I will continue to support but please have your staff wear a mask ???? covering their nose too.
I got the 2 tacos with the brisket(impossible meat i believe) on the gluten free corn tortillas and the deep fried grilled cheese. Thev tacos were nice and the salsa thy came with was probably the highlight (like a sweet tomato salsa almost like a fusion of marina and Mexican style salsa) . The grilled cheese was amazing. It looked like it was covered in bread crumbs then due friend, vegan of course. Overall great place. And a great vibe right next to lake Merrit.
Having lived in Texas and eaten a lot of meat BBQ, I was honestly a bit skeptical about vegan BBQ. But Vegan Mob truly blew me away. Highly recommend the shrimp and grits for brunch - the shrimp was perfectly fried with a crispy, crunchy coating and the grits were so creamy I couldn't believe it was vegan. The ribs were also super flavorful with a great texture. Highly recommend for vegans and non-vegans alike. The location is right by the lake too, so it's perfect to get your food to-go and then sit for a picnic by the lake. The line can be quiet long, so would recommend placing a pickup order ahead of time.
This is some of the best vegan food I have ever had. May never need meat again. The flavors and textures are perfection. The wait is always super long but it's never not been 110% worth it
This was unexpected, I was told about this place but was truly skeptical about it and now that I have crossed over to a no meat lifestyle , it has been challenging to find tasteful substitution for my favorite meals.
BUT THE VEGAN MOB HAS DONE IT!!!! The flavors are wonderful, the texture doesn't make me miss meat at all. So, saying ALL that to say , if your vegan...go. If your thinking about Vegan food...go. Of your just hungry and want to try something different....go. Either way get your A#$ some.... you'll thank me later????
