This tiny market is neatly organized with great service. The all organic produce section was clean, fresh, and vibrant. We picked up a few small fuji apples which were delicious, sweet and bursting with flavor.
Magda Luna Cafe
Vegan Fajitas
Magda Luna is a charming cafe with warm, friendly service. The home-made quality and care put into their dishes is both comforting and satisfying.
The vegan fajita plate was delicious. Everything on it was super fresh, including the lettuce, tomato, and onion. Details all too often neglected in my opinion. The beans and rice were spot on, especially for being vegan. The tortillas were excellent, thick, hearty, and flavorful. And the sauces, clearly made from fresh ingredients, are simple and yet complex with overtones of citrus. Overall, the food was clean and healthy without compromising on taste.
Most of their dishes are available 100% vegan. The rice and beans are always vegan.

Chipotle’s Sofritas – ok
Status
I had the opportunity to sample Chipotle’s Sofritas yesterday. The first bite was my last. I was, in a word, underwhelmed. The texture threw me off. Tiny pebble sized bits of tofu squeaking between my teeth. Perhaps, it’s better inside a burrito. I would make the pieces larger and add a rougher texture infused with more flavor.
It could be my bias against Chipotle. Their food, in general, is just ok. Why would Sofritas be any different? It’s a shame because I love tofu, especially hodo tofu. I do applaud their efforts for using sustainable foods (in whatever percentage that may actually be) and for creating a vegan dish which is very much appreciated. Sadly, Sofritas just don’t live up to their potential.

Calafia Cafe
Calafia is located inside the Town & Country Village, across the street from UC Stanford, in Palo Alto.
This restaurant is a great compromise when dining with non-vegetarians because the menu is split 50%-50%, one half vegetarian the other half meat eaters. All ingredients are sourced locally and organically as often as possible. There are quite a few vegan options on the menu and they’ve happily accommodated requests to make something vegan (when realistic, of course). We’re fans of the Vegan Love Plate, Wakame Salad and the Vegetable Soy Lentil Quinoa Burger (lettuce cups instead of brioche bun). While it may be on the comfort food end of the health spectrum, Calafia really knows how to make delicious vegetarian food.
The ambiance is warm and comforting. It’s best to dine early because this place is really popular and get’s crowded after 6:30 or so. We’ve waited for 30-45 minutes at peek hours. I would also avoid letting them seat you in the market side, the service isn’t as good.
