Noemi JimenezDecember 5, 2017It’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.- ArmandAugust 7, 2017The chorizo burrito was delicious with just the right amount of spice. Filled with a very generous amount of guac and their signature cauliflower rice.
Max BpmMarch 27, 2018I 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 YuravlivkerJanuary 21, 2020Great 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 SOctober 22, 2018The 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 GuoNovember 20, 2018The 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.May 19, 2019great 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- 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
Missy MackeyNovember 23, 2021Best vegan food I’ve ever had. Loved the quesadilla and the stuffed poblano has a very spicy and complex flavor! Delicious.
Kelly PilarskiSeptember 3, 2018Wonderful cocktails and the Buffalo Flower tacos were top notch. Definitely bringing the friends back here.
Lili BazFebruary 26, 2020Amazing food, cocktails and service!! Definitely get the nachos and corn! And try the charcoal hot sauce!
- Try the “organic tap water”; it’s delicious. Tasteless actually but organically tasteless
- Guest of a GuestMay 30, 2018"You might start dreaming about this vegan Mexican spot. I get the nachos and a spicy cucumber Margarita every time." - Nathalie Rhone Read more
Tarek PertewJune 20, 2017Layers upon layers of wall and floor was removed to expose original tile work of an old ice cream parlor.
Jasmine MehrabiJanuary 28, 2020Best vegan spot I’ve been to. Had the guac and chips, and the Coconut quesadilla was SO GOOD. I need to come back.
Louis BitskoJune 24, 2017The Enchiladas & Fish Tacos were really great. Great Mexican Food in a city where such a thing is surprisingly scarce.
Dartagnan ZavallaJune 25, 2019Place really nice, i love places with bar, and the food is greats! My wirldfriends is Mexican and she love it!- MegJuly 31, 2017Really 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 JimenezAugust 17, 2017Nachos are huge! The kale bowl was also big and delicious. Tacos are small. Everything is delicious.
Aditi LuthraDecember 3, 2017Got sweet potato tacos, small but flavorful. So many yummy vegan & healthy options! I️ recommend 💕
Krystal VadharSeptember 20, 2017Love the use of natural, non-soy bases products to make their dishes!
Karthik RamanAugust 24, 2021Palm carnitas really made the verde enchiladas. The street corn was the real winner though.
Dustin LeeSeptember 16, 2017Never would've guessed it's vegan - empanada, nachos, and chorizo burrito were all tasty
Ann Marie SkjoldDecember 7, 2018I’m not vegan but I eat here at least once a week because the food is SO good
Jim GreenApril 26, 2018Every 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.
Tanya TestJuly 28, 2017Friendly staff but the pupusas and enchiladas mole were dry and disappointing. :(

"Great brunch offerings. Add an order of their fantastic fresh tortilla chips to your chicken chilaquiles"
AmateurConcierge - 7.5
"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 - 8.6
"Retro Mexican restaurant with amazing tacos but they're small so make sure to get at least 3"
