I had the best experience ever for my first time eating in a all vegan restaurant. Food was 11/10 delicious and amazing service by Sara and Rey, thank you so much guys for your kindness, I felt very welcomed ❤️

Great option for authentic vegan Mexican food in NYC! Good flavor in the enmoladas, almost like you're in Puebla, México 😋

An absolute gem of a vegan mexican inspired restaurant! Jajaja Mexicana has an amazing menu of so many classic and traditional Mexican dishes, while adding their own spin of modernism! They had so many options to choose from I had to try everything! Everything I had was absolutely delicious! The space was beautiful with plants and flowers! We got here around 6pm without a reservation and it was pretty empty then it quickly filled up around 7pm! The service was amazing; all staff was quick, tentative and overall great! I'd definitely come back whenever I visit the city! 🇲🇽

All vegan, all delicious. Super nice server, food was incredible and delicious. The black salsa in the bottle on the table was absolutely amazing. The chorizo burrito was also wonderful. The chips with cashew queso and salsas were also great. Everyone was very happy with their meal (vegans and omnivores). Would absolutely go back!

We love Jajaja, the space, menu, staff. Anthony was great and friendly. The NA drink options are great, food is always a 10/10, not to mention they have in house desserts that are incredible. Highly recommend trying the tres amigas, buffalo cauliflower tacos, chimichangas or enchiladas verdes

Jajaja is always the best but Sara was unbelievable tonight!! Sweetest service, best vibe, so kind and genuine. The whole staff is so lovely. Anthony helped us out at the end too and was so so so kind and helpful. My sister and I had the best time and we felt so well taken care of. Love Jajaja forever! Everyone who’s a part of it should be so proud, such a special place♥️

Everything here is amazing! The food is so good that you’d never guess it’s all vegan especially not being vegan myself! The staff are all incredibly friendly too, we had Zara as our server she was so kind and attentive throughout the night. Highly recommend this restaurant!

My wife and I have been coming to jajaja in Williamsburg for over 4 years now on a regular basis and also order from them on UberEats rather frequently. I can honestly say that they are one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, especially our regular waiter, Rey. While I have tried a few dishes that missed the mark, I would say that the vast majority of the menu is delicious. We particularly like the Nachos, Huevo Burrito, Chorizo Burrito, and Jalapeño Pancakes. The warm hibiscus-cinnamon chef's tea is great for a cold winter's day.

Both the food and the atmosphere were amazing! I’m not vegan, but the dishes were incredibly flavorful so much so that I forgot I was even eating vegan food. The mocktail menu was fun and delicious, and the customer service was outstanding. This was my fifth time visiting, and I still can’t stop recommending this spot to my friends.

This is hands-down the best Mexican food I’ve had outside of Mexico. The cocktails are just as impressive—the sotol and cucumber was incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced. The birria chilaquiles are outstanding, and you absolutely can’t skip the side of esquites. I’ve honestly never had anything here that wasn’t excellent. The staff is warm and welcoming—special shoutout to Rey. Thank you for the great service and your infectious smile.

Everything was amazing. The service, the decor, the music, and the foodddd. Our server, Ray, was super attentive and answered all of our questions with ease. We got the chai tea, cinnamon tea, beat y pumpkin empanadas, picante tamal, chimichanga de birria, quesabirria, and a side of esquites. Everything was yummy. 8.5 average out of 10. Definitely recommend!

Amazing experience! Rey was very helpful for the menu! I'm a non-vegan eater and I have to say the food here is phenomenal..my favorite thing was the beef and pumpkin empanadas and the esquites! Quesabirria for it being vegan was definitely an acquired taste but enjoyed it overall.

Really great spot. Best Mexican food I’ve had in awhile. I had the mole enchiladas and they were great.

Vegan and Mexican? Yes, please!🌮🇲🇽 Happy ambiance with beautiful Mexican music playing, food is absolutely delicious and friendly staff. A must for Mexican food lovers.

Drinks and food were delicious (although we ordered a dish asking for no cilantro - tastes like soap to my partner… the dish still had lots of cilantro of it in the filling - when we told the server she said the kitchen removed the cilantro from the top of the dish, but not from the sauce). Would definitely return though, love that there’s a vegan Mexican place in New York.

Beautiful décor and friendly staff make this Mexican restaurant a must-go for plant-based visitors to NYC/Brooklyn. The restaurant is situated near a shopping hotspot and we really enjoyed our meal. We dropped in for lunch and went for: -Picante Tamal -Chorizo Burrito -Chimichanga de Birria And were impressed with the premium presentation and excellent flavour of each dish. Our only regret is that we could only order so much! Staff were very friendly and quick despite there only being one server on at the time. If you're a fan of Mexican food then you can't go wrong. 5 stars.

What an incredible experience at Jajaja this past Monday! As soon as we got to the door we were greeted warmly by the staff and seated quickly. The menu had so many options that I asked for recommendations from the staff and everything was DELICIOUS! I completely forgot it was vegan everything was so flavorful, and the drinks were some of the best I've ever had. Our service was amazing start to finish. I felt very taken care of shout out to the manager Jesus for leading such a great team! Can't wait to return!

Ja Ja Ja Williamsburg is our favorite spot in New York! This all vegan restaurant has incredible food, and somehow even more incredible service! We visited for brunch + dinner while visiting and both times had exceptional service. Not to mention the location is gorgeous, plus have a mini patio! Our brunch was outstanding!! We had the Chilaquiles Verde, Elotes Pancakes, and Breakfast Tacos. Over a week later, and we are still gushing about the pancakes. We also ended the meal with churros which were delicious. We went back for lunch since I couldn't leave New York without having their nachos! HANDS DOWN the best nachos I have ever had! We also ordered the Chorizo Burrito, Empanada, and Spanish Rice. Their rice is the best Spanish Rice we have ever had. We genuinely loved everything we had! I am coming back to NY later in the year, and already have this as my number one spot to return to! 10/10 both times!

One of the best restaurants I been to! Who knew vegan food can be so delicious. The appetizer, main, and dessert were all amazing. Best part afterwards I don’t feel bloated or guilty :) Everything was well thought out, from the food to the decor. Appreciate all the little details.

I really liked that place. Everything was very tasty. I was also very hungry and the food was brought quickly. Many of the dishes were gluten-free. Cozy atmosphere and good service. One of the best Mexican places. Thank you ❤️

This place is gorgeous, location is beautiful with views of the city and the food is delicious and nutritious. Buffalo cauliflower tacos with guacamole is possibly my new favorite food ever. Everything we ordered here was spectacular. Our waitress was so great too, very professional, helpful and prompt. Easy to see why this place is so popular

Of course one of my favorite places to eat. Lots of delicious vegan Mexican food —whether you eat meat or not, you must come try! This time we had the nachos (arguably the best in the city) and the buffalo cauliflower tacos. I can’t believe 2 tacos cost $12 these days. Good thing the cauliflower was so crispy and delicious. Drinks are good and all liquor is certified vegan. Seating inside and outside. Good to get reservations on weekends just in case!

I’ve ordered delivery from them several times and it was my first time visiting one of their physical locations. The Williamsburg restaurant has many seatings available so was good for our big group. Everything was delicious and I enjoyed them all! Nachos were a bit saucy but still yummy. Tacos were great and my favorite was the crispy pescado - the smoky flavor caught me off guard, but I liked how hot and juicy it was!

JaJaJa is an absolute game-changer! I’m not vegan, but I was genuinely amazed by how incredible the food tasted. You’d never know it wasn’t your traditional Mexican fare. We just walked in without a reservation around 4pm on a Sunday – super convenient! The vibe inside is fun and cozy, making it a great spot to chill and enjoy a meal. The service? Top-notch. The servers knew their stuff and were really friendly, which always makes a difference. Now, onto the food! I dove right in and completely forgot to snap pics (we were starving!). But trust me, the chimichanga is something you don’t want to miss. Crispy, flavorful, just perfect. And let’s not forget the hot sauces! They're a must-try, and you can even buy them to spice up your meals at home. At just $5 a bottle, it’s a steal! In a nutshell, JaJaJa is highly recommended whether you're vegan or not. Great eats, awesome service, and a cool atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back for more!
