"The entry to Casa De Luz feels like something out of a fairytale. It’s set back a bit from the busy street outside, accessible by a long, brick walkway full of tall bamboo stalks and overhanging plants. The menu is defined more by fresh, seasonal produce than by any one cuisine—we’ve had mushroom tacos right next to bowls of butternut squash soup—and it’s all served cafeteria-style for about $15. It’s entirely vegan and generally tastes “healthy” in the sense that you kind of wish it had a little more salt. None of it will blow your mind, but you also won’t leave with the overwhelming desire to take a very long nap in Zilker Park down the street afterward. " - nicolai mccrary
