Chi Chi Vegan - Moreland Ave

**5/6/2022 **Let me start off by saying this is a very tough review for me because I typically don’t write anything below three ⭐️ . I’m a vegan and foodie! I love patronizing at small cool places like this. The the three stars are really for the food, I want to emphasize the staff were amazing! At the time of this review this place was pick up with two kiosks when you arrive or you can order online. Again, I want to preference that the staff were extremely courteous, responsive, professional and sensitive to my concerns. I had to have my tacos remade twice, first time they were cold second time they were slopped together and missing cilantro and onions. They did get it right, and they did seem under staff - I get it with the pandemic. Let me get into this review based on everything we ordered. Our order came up to $66.02. Mexican corn - delicious on point but pricey $6 for 1 piece of corn Carne Asada Taco - dry, flavored well decent size taco $5 - the sauce I got on the side was super spicy, I like a little spice, but I couldn’t enjoy it. It came out cold so I sent back and they gave me a warm one. Fish Taco - Meh got sauce on the side dry $5 this was also served cold. I sent this back and they made a fresh one for me. Veggie Chimichanga with vegan beef -my husband said was good $16. Rice - don’t waste your money 4oz of dry hard rice for $3.50 over priced and disgusting. Beans didn’t try at the time of the review 4 Oz $3.50 over priced. Chips and Gauc - chips were not fresh and guacamole was super salty and I love salt, this was expensive for what you get 4 Oz of gauc and small bag of chips. Pico - okay nothing special Queso - spicy and salty taste like a bean base vegan cheese I would not order Mango frozen drink - our girlfriend enjoyed but it was $9 for 12 Oz or so the drink very beautifully presented and described as delicious. I’d honestly like to think that this place was having a bad day, but for all the issues I had I’m left to think that was the not the case. I hope others have a much different experience than I did, I’m not sure I would give them another try. To the owners: I understand I’m a small business owner, so please know I empathize with you, but I hope my review along with others will help you think about improvements. I would recommend higher quality food for the price, served hot, list portions for the rice and bean (there is a photo but it’s hard to gage size). Please mention that the spice part for your sauces and cheese because it was more than mild. I hope this review is helpful, and encourage any review to try for yourself, you make love it!

Definition of a hidden gem.

Really a take-out with a couple of tables. Nice staff. Cooked to order. Inventive tacos that some hit the mark, while some just ok. Falafel tacos are a stretch. The location - off Moreland. Newer spot for both vegetarians and vegans.

We ordered delivery and by the time we ate it, the meal was pretty underwhelming. The chimichanga is…well, it’s a burrito. And ours only had rice and beans in it, but every extra is $4. I appreciated that they kept the pico separate to avoid getting the burrito soggy, but that could’ve come in a separate container. It was a modest portion. The quesadilla was definitely lacking a healthy portion of protein as well. And the “queso” was pretty bland. The falafel tacos were the highlight.

My 4 stars are for the tacos. I tried the carna sada steak, the chicken with pineapple and the mushroom asada they were all good not great. Portion size was very nice for each taco. They all lack salsa the mushroom which I thought would be my fave was my least favorite. The carna sada steak one was the one I liked the most. Now the Mexican street corn was another story. Tasted frozen by texture, though I was told it was fresh. It was totally disgusting. I could not eat it, and I had a hard time even swallowing the one bite. That I give negative start to. So again, my 4 stars are for the tacos alone. Also, my friend got the chicken quesadilla and did not think it had enough to it. He wanted more salsa, and some Pico plus said they gave a tiny amount of cream I give the place a 7 outta 10 7.5 if it had more salsa. He gave it 6.5 and said maybe more if they had they were out of. I will definitely go back buy never getting that corn again it was awful

This place was great. Food was prepared quick and it was actually really good!! There’s a lot behind the building or street parking available. Minimal seating but they do offer indoor and outdoor. I’ll def be back!!
