The Mustard Seed

"A Few Quick Things: Parking: easy as it can be in Cerritos Ambiance: Amazing, so relaxing with some smooth jazz and the sounds of a nearby creek Now the Meat (wheat, gluten, & soy) and potatoes: On the menu they have in parenthesis what the meat substitute is made out of. Service: Alexis was amazing and took great care in asking where we were on our Plant Based journey to see what foods we might be more comfortable with. Food: EVERYTHING on the menu is vegan, which I got confused because while eating we could barely taste the difference. Loaded Cajun Fries: AMAZING! The dish is well balanced and you really get the feeling of pigging out without the bloated stomach from the normal fats and oils. The dish and food in general had a great clean taste. Cheesesteak Melt Wrap: This was a 7-8/10 for me. The sauce was good and carried the dish, but it lacked a flavorful punch. I also got it without Ranch which it normally comes with. After putting a little bit of salt it tasted much better as the flavors really shined afterwards. One thing I always check is to see if places cook their veggies independently because most places overlook that step. It looked like they did so kudos and I think just a smidge of salt can really help those wonderful veggies shine. Overall the construction of the item was well done and the tortilla was toasted beautifully. The plate also was a bit big for the wrap so I didn't get that WOW factor when it was delivered as when I think of a cheesesteak anything I'm expecting a hearty looking meal. So perhaps a smaller plate when there is no side dish to accompany it. Wet Burrito: WOW! Knocked this one out of the park. The whole dish was well balanced and although I had never had a Colorado Chile Sauce with crema the sweetness it brang actually did well with the dish. Absolutely a must eat! Beignet: Vegan Pastries are rough, but these were good. I would not say life changing but of the beignets I have had (only a few) these were cooked amazing with a nice crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. The caramel sauce was runny which I assume is because of it being Vegan, I think I could do without it but it comes with it so you can try for yourself :) TL:DR You need to try this place if you want to experiment or get your feet wet with Vegan food and if you already are on that journey then this place will let you feel satisfied without the guilt just as they say on the website."

"This place was very nice and classy when we walked in, there was classical music playing in the background and the televisions had birds and other nature videos playing. It felt outdoorsy with all the plants everywhere, but in a fancy way. The tables and the walkway to the restroom were very nice and naturistic. The waitress was very kind and helpful. We ordered the breakfast burrito, which has "Just Egg" and was very yummy with a side of salsa. The Loaded Cajun fries were very tasty also, loved those! We had the Peach Cobbler Beignet and really liked those too. The Aguas Frescas were both good, but we really liked the Hibiscus Strawberry one the most. Overall, this is a great vegan restaurant that I will be coming back to."

"The service is amazing! The ambiance reminds me of a forest, it’s nice. The menu is multicultural and fully vegan, which I really appreciate because we need more vegan restaurants. But, the food is just ok, could be better. I think the best thing we tasted was the Loaded Cajun Fries."
