This is such a cool place, great vibe & stunning decor. Food is amazing with lots of vegan / vegetarian choices . Also, prices are reasonable considering in west Hollywood.

Eater

The most recent meat-free effort from those behind Cafe Gratitude, Gracias Madre follows a slightly more formal model in which guests are urged to make reservations for vegan Mexican cuisine . Read more

We had nachos with guacamole and the tacos . Quite spicy ???? but very good. We had the IPA and the Kombucha as drinks. The staff was nice as well

Kayleigh Harrington

The chips and Guac are delicious but you can also swap the chips for sliced cucumber . Add jackfruit tacos and a margarita to your order for the perfect meal.

Matt Opsahl

Brunch outside on the patio . French toast is to die for. Snowcone cocktail a true original. A fuller experience than SF location. Love this place!

Asher Socrates

The vegan Mexican food is good. The atmosphere and vibe is delightful and welcoming. Try the appetizer plate to get a sample taste of the most popular menu items.

Love this place!!! The food is amazing! You have to try the coliflor frito , fried cauliflower with spicy creamy sauce on top, so good. It's vegetarian but definitely not healthy.

Bobby Tawil

What a place. Great menu and a lot to choose from. Horchata Latte was AWESOME! Cauliflower was great! Hash browns great! Great cool place to spend a long brunch at drinking tequila

Ruth Szotten

A fantastic vegan Mexican restaurant . Everything was delicious & fresh. Try crab cakes for starters and flautas for mains (and the pumpkin empanadas if they're on special again!)

Jennifer K

Best Margos in LA! Loved the ceviche tostada . Amazing service especially about allergies (mgr brought special binder for guests w/common allergies to for ordering. Beautiful spot. ????❤️( Not vegan )

Michael Falso

Cocktails are NOT to be missed here, even if you came just for the food. Gorditas are divine, chipotle cashew cheese and fresh salsas really make everything shine!

Hamilton Fortuna Bautista

I didn't expect this place to be as cool, vibrant and fun. It was all of it. I know this is odd but I had the chocolate with some pepper on top. Fantastic!

Mezcal El Silencio ????

Beautiful Mixology ???? #MezcalElSilencio cocktails by Jason Eisner, beverage director from #GraciasMadre ????by #deboraducciph great outside seating . Creative bartenders .

Ken Mizuno

Coconut ceviche tostadas with a side order of mango salsa is the bomb. Filling yet light and healthy. All the cocktails are to die for.

ブルーノ

Always worth a visit when in L.A., even if you're not vegetarian . Not cheap , but cocktails are delicious and the place itself is pretty nice.

Natalie Guerra

Wow this place is insane, especially for being a vegan Mexican food . Their drinks are also incredible. A very trendy spot, also good for meetings during the weekday afternoons.

Chloe

My fav vegan restaurant in LA. I find it's better located and value with more delicious food than cafe gratitude.

Paul T.

The nachos are very large and good, share these to avoid getting filled up before the entree. The outside seating area is beautiful and great to enjoy cocktails .

Michael Falso

Love this place...but still think $12 for chips and guac is not only outrageous, but excessive- and the portion is equivalent to around ½ an avocado . Save 5$ and dip chips in hot sauces in the table!

AIDA King ???????? official INSTAGRAM @aida.loves ????

Undeniably one of the best vegan places in town ! Non-vegan peeps will love it. My fav is the plantain dish. Their desserts - all incredible.

PureWow

Three Miracles. Smokey mezcal replaces tequila , while lime , mint , sparkling wine and spherical ice cubes frozen with absinthe make this one memorable.  Read more

Monica Patrick

Had plenty of offerings to choose from for certain dietary restrictions. Bar atmosphere was great. The selection of tequila and mezcal was over the top.

Asher Socrates

Nachos !!! Valet parking is available or meter parking . Arrive early and enjoy happy hour at the bar before your reservation .

Martini Mike

I have to say this place is kinda rad. Yah I said "rad". OMG the sexy women behind and in front of the bar . :) Deliiiicous cocktails . Try the guac . Get your sexy on.

Jenna Fain

Vegan Mexican food , FTW! The cauliflower and flautas are pure flavor and magic. Ask for hot sauce and you'll get a chipotle mole sauce you'll wish they'd bottle...

Jaime T G

The daily menu was phenomenal and super good price. Loved the tacos and the green negroni

CJ Bruce

So good. I already want to go back and try more. El Plato is a pile of magic. They also have an extra spicy salsa you can get if you ask.

Enrique Gutiérrez Arzate

I ordered the Taco Trio and it was very good, and very filling. Their horchata and jamaica are very good as well

Staff Picks

Enjoy a chic Mexican dinner in a beautiful courtyard in West Hollywood at Gracias Madre. Highlights include the guacamole con tortillas and sopes con piña. Read more

Sravanti Tekumalla

Everything here is ???? — reasonably priced and delicious. Don’t miss out on the daily specials — their fajitas were my favorite.

Marina Jamieson

I highly recommend the Flautas de Papa . They're delicious. I didn't really enjoy the Tacos , felt they didn't have much flavor, just grilled eggplant in a wheat taco with lettuce... Not very exciting

Mina Khalil

Great environment, tasty food with a ton of chilli powder/hot stuff. if you can't do spicy , do your self a favor and just don't go.

Johnnie Skywalking

Bowl is great. Pick standard one. Too much twist is often too much. Enjoy sun at terrace seat by drinking michelada .

Félix

Very classy , very tasty and aaaall vegan . Supercool service and nice place, totally worth the wait you can have!

Ruby Anaya

Incredible mezcal cocktails . After trying over 10 dishes the pozole was the clear winner.

Connie Chiu

Love the outdoor vibe and decor. More than the food and the food is bomb. It's a very ritzy crowd though.

Jennifer

This restaurant is a perfect spot for date night . Sit at the bar and play footsy with your beloved. Share some guacamole while you're at it.

Josef Szotten

Some of the best vegetarian food in LA. You have to try it at least once.

Al S

Excellent Mexican spot that happens to be vegan . Solid cocktail list . Potato flautas were great.

W H

Delicious vegan Mexican food (I'm not even a vegan ) ... Wonderful flavors esp celery soda ... Sit in the beautiful courtyard

Anna D

Very great lunch spot ! It’s big so the wait was non existent and it’s a nice area if you are around BH.

Anna H

Great food and a stylish space. Recommend the nachos , taco salad , enchiladas , and ceviche . Margs are pretty standard.

Patrick Traughber

The jackfruit tacos , plantain chorizo quesadilla , and the scorching madre cocktail is amazing.

Erik Franks

Everything is excellent. Had the mole enchiladas and Dude Abides drink
