It’s almost impossible to find good Mexican in NYC + vegan Mexican = a unicorn but Jajaja got it right. From the limey, fresh guac to the jackfruit carnitas tacos + the homemade tortillas .. just YES.

Armand

The chorizo burrito was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Filled with a very generous amount of guac and their signature cauliflower rice .

I started off with the Beet & Pumpkin Empanada . The main dish for me of course was Jackfruit Tacos called Palm Carnitas which is very good. The dessert I had, Raspberry Cheesecake which is to die for

Leemor Yuravlivker

Great vegan Mexican spot . Highly recommend the nachos with guac . Favorite taco I tried was the chayote fish . Make sure to try the hot sauces ????

Anna S

The empanada , kale bowl and nachos are all very tasty. The move here is to arrive ahead of time and put your name down for a table, and they’ll text you when it’s ready.

Ann Guo

The burrito is so flavorful! And the quesadilla surprised me! Everything is soooo good! Try the coconut dream cake ! It blew me away! I’ll stop screaming now.

Stina P.

great vegetarian/vegan/gluten friendly free options. there’s a take out option if the wait is too long. try any of the tacos ! nachos and burrito are spicy

Angel

Plant-based everything (food); personally speaking I love the verde enchilada and buffalo cauliflower #mozzarella the most, guacamole and chips if just snacking with drinks

Kim Pham

Arguably the best vegan meal I’ve ever had. Absolutely unreal.

Missy Mackey

Best vegan food I’ve ever had. Loved the quesadilla and the stuffed poblano has a very spicy and complex flavor! Delicious.

Kelly Pilarski

Wonderful cocktails and the Buffalo Flower tacos were top notch. Definitely bringing the friends back here.

Lili Baz

Amazing food, cocktails and service!! Definitely get the nachos and corn ! And try the charcoal hot sauce !

Angel

Try the “organic tap water ”; it’s delicious. Tasteless actually but organically tasteless

Layers upon layers of wall and floor was removed to expose original tile work of an old ice cream parlor .

Get the nachos , but be aware, they can feed a family of 4!

Jasmine Mehrabi

Best vegan spot I’ve been to. Had the guac and chips , and the Coconut quesadilla was SO GOOD. I need to come back.

Louis Bitsko

The Enchiladas & Fish Tacos were really great. Great Mexican Food in a city where such a thing is surprisingly scarce.

Dartagnan Zavalla

Place really nice, i love places with bar , and the food is greats! My wirldfriends is Mexican and she love it!

Meg

Really enjoyed my meal here. The food was super flavorful and there was so much variety. My only complaint is that it's really loud and the tables are too close together.

Yanikza Jimenez

Nachos are huge! The kale bowl was also big and delicious. Tacos are small. Everything is delicious.

Aditi Luthra

Got sweet potato tacos , small but flavorful. So many yummy vegan & healthy options ! I️ recommend ????

The best vegan nachos I’ve ever tasted. Amazing!!!

Krystal Vadhar

Love the use of natural, non-soy bases products to make their dishes!

Karthik Raman

Palm carnitas really made the verde enchiladas . The street corn was the real winner though.

Dustin Lee

Never would've guessed it's vegan - empanada , nachos , and chorizo burrito were all tasty

Bram Hubbell

Amazing tacos ! And they have Topo Chico water.

Ruby Anaya

I’m not vegan but I eat here at least once a week because the food is SO good

Sara Marcos

That place it ask much fun for drinks and food

Kristina Rudic

Share the nachos and get the stuffed pepper .

Jim Green

Every plate I was served food on was chipped . Had the chorizo burrito and it was okay, but small portioned. I guess it's a good spot if you're vegan ? But I wouldn't seek it out otherwise.

Holiday

Chile poblano to die for.

Seriously underrated! Vegan & gluten free Mexican. Wide variety of options, and it doesn’t feel like the same thing repurposed across the menu (a common tactic at some vegan spots). Good for groups! - Alex Hunter
