The first time i ate here it was great, the helpful server offered several vegetarian options, everything was great and the prices seemed worth it. I couldn't wait to go back. The second time was awful. The portions were cut in half, literally- the appetizer on our first visit had 4 empanadas, this time, just 2, but the price was the same! The server looked at our party like we were from outer space, said none of the entrees could be made veggie (??? it's Mexican food, throw some veggies and beans on top instead of chicken!) and 3 out of 4 people had to eat the same meal. $20 mediocre enchaladas- they are crazy! In a city where the #3 (and rising) rated restaurant is VEGAN, these places need to realize Philly is a Veggie-town, and maybe Zocalo wouldn't have been empty for dinner if they had a more diverse(or at least flexible) menu, with reasonable prices, and nicer staff.

All the rave reviews are well deserved. Horizons menu is the most creative and delicious i've ever tasted. If i HAD to stretch to find fault with this restaurant, it would be with the servers- I can't tell if they are slightly pretentious or slightly uncomfortable. Either way this place loses no points, i love it.

I absolutely loved this place BEFORE they changed the menu. The staff are great, it's a really nice place, but now their is almost nothing for vegetarians. They used to have several creative and delicious Veg dishes, but now it's down to the same old same old - veg lo mein, fried rice etc... bring back the hot and sour cabbage!

Great atmosphere, great food, great music. Very quick and attentive service without being ""stalk-y"", our drinks where always full. Not a huge vegetarian selection, but what WAS available was absolutely fantastic. The seitan dinner gives Horizons a run for there money. Much larger portions, less expensive, just as delicious(if not more). If i lived in the city i'd go to Ortliebs once a week. Highly recommended!

My husband and i are vegetarian, and had a hard time finding decent food to eat on our trip to New Orleans. Even the fanciest restaurants had no creativity, just offering the boring ""portobello and rice"" (not all vegetarians like mushrooms, people, get creative!!!). Mona's was delicious! Definitely the best meal we ate on our entire trip. Just sorry we hadn't discovered it sooner, we would have gone everyday!

Thank goodness for this place! Interesting and tasty vegetarian options in a deep-fried meat city. We ate here several times on our vacation.
