best veggie mexican ever!. wow, i really, really like pokez. their portions are ridiculously large and incredibly tasty. i ordered a to-go meal for my wife and i the firsttimenot realizing how big the portions were and was shocked by the two huge bags they handed me. we had enough food for a party. for the low, low price i was totally shocked and then we couldn't believe how delicious the food was. their veggie and vegan options are just superb. a huge potato and tofu burrito smothered in sauce and cheese, wow! rolled tacos, enchiladas, vegan machaca. they are honestly one of my favorite places in sd. somebody here seems troubled by tattoos and hipsters. well, i don't have a tat and it's been a longtimesince anyone would mistake me for a hipster, since i'm more likely to give off a sort of unintended undercover cop vibe, but i'm just as nice, polite, and respectful to everyone i encounter, regardless of their appearance, and guess what, the people working at pokez are always super nice, friendly, and chatty with me because i'm nice to them. it's not complicated. pokez is a must for anyone that appreciates top quality food served in a genuine environment, prepared and served by real people. leave your elitist credentials at home and you'll have the best mexican meal possible. if you prefer a pretentious and overpriced restaurant with lousy food served with flourishes of nonsense and more attitude than you can muster up yourself, downtown san diego is your kind of place. but, i don't see the need to knock pokez. don't miss out on their unique and delicious menu.
