Vegan or not, Gracias Madre is possibly the best Mexican cafe in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's somewhat a child of the raw foods Cafe Gratitude, where dishes have names such as "I am Wonderful", but don't let that stop you. Cafe Gratitude serves up amazing Mexican food using organic produce, cashew cheeses and heirloom corn. The textures are so rich and the tastes so flavorful, I can't imagine meat eaters missing the pork or chicken in their sauteed mushroom tacos or mole enchiladas with mushrooms and cashew cheese with sauteed greens and beans (below).
I've yet to have even a mediocre dish here. The guacamole is rich and abundant in flavor. There is a wide selection of salads, such as the persimmon salad with mixed greens, toasted pecans and chipotle vinaigrette with Acme bread and queso blanco, as well as soups and desserts.
The setting is light and comfortable and service is friendly. One of the best deals is to show up between 4 and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday for happy hours when there are $3 cocktails and organic beers on draft. Entrees range from $11 to about $15.
