Vegan? Yes! Mexican? Yes! Out-of-this-world? Ohhh, yeahhh! I would have had photos to share but all three of us were so excited to eat and didn't want to stop for photos. There are plenty of other reviews with photos. But this review just shows it is so good you dont even want to waste time. We ordered grand nachos, Huevos burrito, steak tacos, Chimichanga, Mexican Coke and oat latte! 🤤 Words from my 13 year old kid "These are the best vegan tacos!" Edit: Went back the next day and snagged a photo 😋

I love the place. It was an in-kind app suggestion, and it was next to a show we were going to see. I really enjoyed the food drinks ,the service and the place was small, but really cute and adorable. They have multiple across the city and I look forward to going to them too.

Didn’t think vegan food can be this good! We didn’t know that this was a 100% plant-based restaurant. But we gave it a try anyway. And it didn’t disappoint! In fact we were quite satisfied. We ordered the watermelon starter, then kale bowl, burrito bowl, and coconut dessert, all of which were really good! For the price though we expected it to be a bit more. But it’s not a dealbreaker. We enjoyed every single bite of it. The burrito bowl, goodness, they had some vegan steak in it and it was so good I couldn’t tell if it wasn’t made with meat. The texture was so real! We were sitting in the corner and it was nice as we could see the whole place. Weather was nice so some people sat outside. Give it a try. Oh, and the music was a bit loud. But we like quiet places in general. So that’s that.

The best vegan food I’ve had in a long, long time. This place packs so much flavor and care into every dish. Rather than allowing meat substitutes to carry the dishes, they have so many wonderful, delicious elements such as their salsas, coco queso, and pickled vegetables. Fast service and a lovely vibe inside. I took my non-vegan boyfriend here and he adored it as well!

Ja ja ja Mexican was seriously next-level food. This is a vegan restaurant with such incredibly tasty food. Our server Mario was attentive, friendly and so nice.. it happened to be my birthday and they had out together a hand written birthday card which was just awesome. 10/10, highly recommend.. cannot wait to go back!

Having someone in my household who’s lactose intolerant, it’s someone’s difficult to find food options. Jajaja was the perfect solution. The flavors and textures of everything were fantastic and impressive that they could achieve such complexity with only vegan ingredients. I’m not vegan, but enjoyed it very much!

Menu has great variety of pod and drinks. We ordered the guac and taro chips as an app. I ordered the fish tacos and my friend got the burrito bowl. Tacos were so good I regretted getting just two! My friend finished her entire bowl lol Honestly had no idea the restaurant is vegan awe just picked a place to eat while walking around town. So glad we did!! Food was delicious and the ambience was on point!

The variety of food and drinks are great! I absolutely love how tasty everything was. It’s a great spot for veggie lovers and non-meat eaters. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Also, the restaurant itself had a cute mexican vibe and aesthetic. Absolutely loved it!

Delicious vegan Mexican place in the heart of the Lower East Side. My friend and I came here for dinner and it was a delectable experience. Service was spot-on. Food was delicious. Drinks were out of this world, probably some of the best cocktails I have had in Manhattan — just the right amount of spice and incredibly unique flavors. All in all, I 100% recommend this restaurant for vegans and non-vegans, alike!

Went to this place on my visit to NY. Always love supporting vegan places. Salsas weren't as good as in the Bay Area, but overall loved the experience! Both my spouse and I absolutely adored the cheesecake! The burritos were decent. Would have been gorgeous with a great salsa! Tacos were both pretty good (I forget the names of the two we ordered)

Vegan, plant based Mexican with the rich, satisfying flavors, textures and tastes you’re seeking. LOVED our visit to this quaint spot. Honestly, I love cheese, too much. It’s hard to impress me with cheese alternatives, but their marathons not only hit the mark, they exceeded them. Big portions, big taste. Healthy eating you will feel so good about, on all accounts. Give them a try at all their NYC locales.

We ordered nachos, which were fantastic, and on the side, we had Esquites, which were good! We also ordered a couple of drinks that were enjoyable as well. I appreciated that the atmosphere was very pleasant.

While most of the food was very good, one of the dishes we found a little lackluster (steak bowl?), we also asked the waitress if there was mushrooms in one dish and were assured there was not and when it came it did have a small amount of mushrooms. We may have been unlucky with this one order though because everything else was fantastic and the wait staff were very helpful. Highly recommend the cucumber cocktail if you do go!

🌮We happened to stumble upon this restaurant by chance, and the experience was unexpectedly delightful. The drinks are exceptionally well-crafted—rich, generous, and bold—clearly reflecting the bartender’s skill and attention to detail. The tacos are equally impressive, with fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced seasoning, delivering complex layers of flavor in every bite. What truly stands out, however, is their Brutto sauce—innovative, distinctive, and incredibly creative, adding a unique twist that elevates the dishes even further. Overall, this spot impresses not only with its flavors but also with its thoughtful execution, making it well worth a casual visit—or even a deliberate detour.

This is a great location, we got walk in on Sunday late afternoon . The vibe was very nice and vibrant. They have a great cocktail menu. Tried their matcha cocktail and it was surprisingly good. Their loaded nachos are one of the signature dishes and it was worth it. The portion was huge for two people. Couldn't finish it, and couldn't eat anything else after that except dessert. Had ordered raspberry pie and the portion was very small comparing the price of 9$ it was literally a bite size. Would definitely go back to try other options but they need to amp up their dessert game for sure. One less star only because of desserts.

Went here a couple of years ago with a friend. Staff were nice, the food was honestly super tasty and that bathroom sink was BEAUTIFUL. But the portions were lowkey kinda small.

The nachos are to die for. Unbelievable, so clean and not heavy. Couldn't tell the difference from any carnivorous nacho I've had. I loved it and wished I stopped there.\nI had the Coconut Queso Qu…

Great food, decor and service. The food was very clean- Lots of vegan places use too much oil, not here. Recommend the tacos and don’t skip the desserts!
