After waiting for never-ending permits and red tape to clear in order to open her brick-and-mortar space, Lourdes Marquez-Nau (AKA chef Lulu) has finally been able to open the first 100-percent, plant-based Puerto Rican restaurant in the Bay Area.

Her plant-based, Puerto Rican dishes are full of flavor and soul, like a pasteles plate with rice, maduros, and gandules (pigeon peas); relleno de papa (fried stuffed potato) with seasoned Impossible Meat filling; and Bori fries with deep-fried plantains topped with onions, Impossible Meat, mojo, and mama spread. ¡Sabrocito!
