Master Critic Review

PlantMade 7.7
East Village
PlantMade is a plant-based East Village spot that leans Mexican in spirit, with tacos and bowls built around well-seasoned vegan proteins and bright salsas. The cooking is clean and crowd-pleasing, and the menu is friendly for gluten-free diners seeking a lighter take on familiar flavors. It’s a solid choice when you want Mexican-adjacent comfort without the heaviness.
Must-Try Dishes: Birria-style vegan tacos, Mushroom al pastor burrito, Churro bites with chocolate
