Great Vegetarian Food in Boyle Heights. They also include Vegan food. Service was great only 20 minute wait for a family of 8. The waiter kept checking in on us if we needed anything. The atmosphere was great everyone seemed to enjoy the restaurant. I would definitely recommend this location to all Vegans and Vegetarians.

I cleaned my plate in 20 minutes. Un Solo Sol is a small business with peaceful ambience and hearty food. I had the Ghormeh Sabzi platter, it's a thoughtful portion size. Flavorful and inexpensive (considering food prices)

What a sweet little find! My friends and I were in the area for a conference and were looking for a quick vegetarian bite. To our delight, we found this awesome vegan Mexican/Indian fusion spot in the heart of Boyle Heights. Our server, who I am assuming was the owner of the place took so much pride in explaining to us how everything he was going to serve us was vegan and made in house. We ordered chips and guacamole, taco platter (pastor, choya- chickpea stew), tacos de picadillo, and taco de nopales. The platter came with rice and beans and my friend and I ordered agua de sandía and agua de guanábana. The pastor was made with mushrooms in a pastor marinade, choya was made with chickpeas, and picadillo was made with a blend of lentils that had been stewed spices for hours. As the owner explained, nothing they use is made with inflammatory artificial meats. The chips were baked, the guacamole and aguas frescas were made on the spot and nothing was over sweetened. 5 stars because this place is offering the community real health on a plate! The flavors offer you that, real healthy and flavor infused guisados that come from using real ingredients. Don't come here expecting to satisfy a salty fried filled craving. Come here with an open mind and in appreciation of what healthy good for you food should taste like.

A fantastic restaurant with great health-conscious food and exceptional service. We were served by the store owner. He's been vegan for decades and shared with us a plethora of diet and health advice, delving into topics like live gut bacteria, the benefit of leafy greens, etc. He clearly cares about his customers' health. He explained that he tries to avoid serving fried food, sugary drinks, etc. There is a single-stall bathroom in the back of the kitchen that you have to be escorted to. Give this place a try. You'll come to see that food can simultaneously be healthy and delicious (:

Thrilled to have found this place! Had a lovely conversation with Carlos the owner about healthy habits and the mind/body connection. He's so knowledgeable and authentic about what he is offering here. Had the pupusas and they were amazing. Can't wait to return and try the rest of the menu.

Finally had the opportunity to come back again and now it's a 100% vegan restaurant. Spoke with the owner and he said he focuses on using natural food and not the processed stuff. He was really nice and told me about his journey. I ordered Sandra's Saltado (Peruvian entree. Choice of tofu or Portobello mushroom, cooked with tomato, red and yellow bell peppers, red onions, and home fries. Brown rice and house salsa on the side.) I also ordered the nopalitos and cholay (Indian curry chickpeas ) tacos on the side. My girlfriend had the Picadillo (lentils) burrito. Food was extremely flavorful. We weren't a fan of the cholay. Nopalitos taco was the favorite! It's a small place with one large table of about 8 in the middle of the room and two tall chairs tables for 2. It was a chill ambiance. People picked up Togo orders and left. There is one gender neutral restroom in the back. Parking can get tricky. Glad we easily found one on the street on a Saturday early evening. Located across the street from Mariachi Plaza. They're not open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Cute lil vegan place that had delicious gluten free options. I started with the organic coffee and homemade almond milk (which was thee best almond milk Ive ever had). It was so good! Black bean papusa. Masa was so delicious and had alot of filling. I wish the salsa had a wee bit more spice but it was still very good. Curtido was fresh and crisp. Definitely a good thing to order I also ordered the homemade tortillas and so glad that I did. The freshness if the masa. The thickness. Stone ground tortillas were again so delicious. Lol i need a thesaurus. Lastly I had the pozole. With tofu. Rojo. I smacked that small bowl. The spices were on point. The broth was one of the best Ive had. Fresh crisp radish, cabbage. I would recommend this dish. It was perfect. Food was so good I ordered a red pozole (large) to go. Prices were good. Customer service was excellent Restaurant was very clean (also a plus) Wish I lived closer. I would be a regular.

One of my favourite place to grab lunch with vegan friends! The place is small, but the food is delicious and the service always friendly. One of my faves is the lomo saltado with mushroom; great flavour and you don't even miss the meat. Only downside is that there's only street parking and the ac isn't great.
