The chefs at Gracias Madres don't get many gluten free requests from customers and that's because gluten has already been stripped from nearly everything on the menu, along with meat and dairy. This sister restaurant to Café Gratitude focuses on healthy, local, sustainable Mexican-based vegan dishes. But don't be mistaken thinking it's all "healthier than thou." The flavors and textures are authentic, satisfying and delicious. And they are not afraid to use the deep fryer (try the kicky Coliflor Frito) and spicy peppers. Staffing the bar with a top notch mixologist who creates some of West Hollywood's best cocktails doesn't hurt either.
