Pure Luck Restaurant and Pub

707 N Heliotrope St
LA, CA 90029


So after an amazing matinee show of West Side Story at the Pantages Theater, Steven and I wanted to find a good place to eat and I suggested we use my fancy phone app that finds vegan restaurants and it suggested Pure Luck. I picked this one because it was right across the street from Scoops which serves vegan ice cream, but it was too cold to get some afterwards haha maybe another days

It is a small restaurant off of Melrose with good service and good atmosphere. Some may call it a "hole in the wall" place, but I think it has character:)
They serve vegan "mexican", but I had the chickpea salad, which was similar to chicken salad but made with garbanzo beans and served over romaine lettuce with a vegan caesar dressing. I really enjoyed my meal.

Steven ordered a tofu taco and a baja burrito with a side of sweet potato fries. I can personally say the fries were great and he said he really enjoyed his meal and would like to try the burrito with the tofu next time because the he liked the tofu in the taco. He also got Mexi-Coke and said it was good and came in an awesome bottle.

The coolest thing that happened though was at first they forgot or lost our order so we had been sitting and waiting without food for about 45 minutes and the waitress came to apologize and the meal was free!

We gave a good tip though because they were kind and the food was still good.

Overall, I'd say it was a good restaurant and I would go back to try something else at some point, however, it was not the most amazing place in the world. Fun place to sit and talk with friends and I will go back when I can get some vegan ice cream afterwards:D

I am excited to try out more vegan places in LA though because there are so many. Half the fun is the spontaneity and exploration!

hope you enjoy:)
you are loved.
