I really enjoyed this place. It gives me Deep Ellum boujie, which we love boujie, yet relaxed at the same time. The vibe is a lil pretentious, but it's all good! I'm here for it! I wasn't interested at first, because she said it was a Vegan restaruant and tho I dn't have to have food with parents, when I'm in TX I want MEEEAAAAT! However, I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty EVERYTHING was. What did we order, it was January, it's now March *I apologize i'm posting so late* there were some drinks to be had, so I honestly don't remember, BUT we did order a lot of different things and the 3 of us shared all of things that touched our table, except for drinks.

Shoals is in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas, a narrow bar and restaurant with a variety of Latino dishes made vegan. I was a bit daunted at seeing so many spicy symbols on the menu, as spicy food does not agree with me, but we were able to get most dishes toned down a bit. The shiitake ceviche cannot be made mild (my boyfriend loved it, though), but the empanadas can if you ask for the sauces on the side. The Beyond arepa was also pretty good. And I loved the plantains. I threw caution to the winds and ordered a capirinha, and it was very good. I would definitely eat at Shoals again if I'm back in Dallas.
Such an unexpected delicious meal! Came here to catch up with friends over lunch! I had the cubano! I have always wanted to try one so it was so great to find a vegan friendly version- completely met and exceeded all my expectations! The fried plantains were perfectly ripe! My friend had one of each empanada and said they were 10/10! I need to come back and try some arepas! My only complaint is that the tables were kinda sticky.
Had an amazing time at this restaurant! Came in for one of my best friends birthdays (we are both vegan) and the food was so so good, service was great. I’ll definitely be back to try more. We got the Shishito peppers, plantains, kale salad, I got the Cubano and my friend got the Arepa (not pictured), and lastly we got the shiitake ceviche and some drinks. Recommend giving this place a try if you’re in Deep Ellum!

This fantastic vegan restaurant, owned by a Black entrepreneur, is located in the bustling Deep Ellum neighborhood in downtown Dallas. The food was outstanding and the bartenders served up innovative cocktails. The ambiance is cozy and dimly lit, making it ideal for a casual meal.
The beyond arepa at this restaurant is very tasty! I also tried the shiitake ceviche, which had only a small amount of shiitake mushrooms but was still delicious. I appreciate that this is one of the few vegan restaurants in Dallas that serves alcohol. Thumbs up!
Great environment, the food was fantastic. I highly recommend getting the Arepas. The atmosphere is also very nice for such a busy street. I really appreciate that they play music from vinyl records
The restaurant offers delicious and affordable food that is packed with flavor. It is hands down the top choice for vegan options in the area. Even my meat-loving boyfriend enjoys it.

The food, great! The drinks, incredible! Our server last night, miserable. Bad day maybe. My group was kind and tried to lighten the mood, but our experience was painfully awkward.
Are you vegan and looking for amazing Latin American food!! Look no further. This place has won our hearts. Arepas was amazing. Drinks, food and the company we found at the bar.
