Food is overpriced. VERY dirty when I visited. I have been told by an employee named Dani that they break so many health codes, but since they are vegan they don't get checked as often as they should. I have gotten sick eating there, probably due to the poor refrigeration that is listed here. Same employee also told me that the fake chicken that they serve there, is not even legal to serve in the US. My opinion... this place should be looked at a lot closer, based on what a current employee is saying.
