mostly vegan - Edit
I had lunch there and the owner asured me that it is vegan. But after eating I had the taste of eggs in my mouth and therefore I think the lentil burger was made with eggs.

Pros: nice ambience, good simple food, cheap
Cons: not sure about vegan food

Tasty veggie food - Edit
We came here for the lunch buffet twice during our stay in Cochabamba. Lots of salad choices, choice of two soups, two mains, and comes with juice and soup for 20 bos. Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is peaceful with Indian music and decor, and the owner is friendly and helpful. This place is popular with the locals but it is a good idea to come early, because they tend to run out of food and the buffet can get pretty picked over by 1pm! Best to come early!!

cheap vegan menu, food a bit of a hit and miss - Edit
Had lunch there twice and really loved the restaurant settings, it's a nice courtyard, far away from the busy traffic. The menu of the day is very cheap (15 bolivianos) and quite filling. The first time I went it was delicious (fried plantains, seitan in a rich sauce, lentil soup) the second time was disappointing, they ran out of food and what was left was quite dry and very salty. The owner is lovely.

Mostly Vegan! - Edit
I live in Cochabamba and plenty of times had lunch here. I love that there is a buffet of salads and that they have bolivian dishes made vegan. So if anyone visit Bolivia as a Vegan I suggest you come and try some of our food. The price is now around 3 dollars. you have salad buffet, soup, main dish, dessert and juice. Never mind you should be careful picking your soup and main because normally one is vegetarian. The same for the dessert. Never mind you can always find something vegan.

Pros: Tasty bolivian food, Salad Buffet, Cheap
Cons: Not to much, Not 100% vegan

Tasty food, can also buy gluten meat to take away - Edit
Location was tricky to find, but it is very close to the Spitting Llama bookshop on Calle España, between Colombia and Ecuador. Look for the yellow building and enter through the white arch. It shares a lovely courtyard with Ñaupa House Hostel and a number of other businesses (Mocafé is also nice).
Read moreWhen we went, 20bs per person bought us a delicious lunchtime buffet. On metal trays, we helped ourselves to the dozen inventive and tasty salads, and were served one of two vegetable soups plus rice and a choice of potato and gluten meat curry or a gluten meat and vegetable skewer. Condiments of various kinds were available to spice things up. The courtyard is a lovely place to sit and it was popular with other locals. We left full and happy.
The lady on the till was very friendly and didn't mind my bad Spanish. If you order a day in advance, she also sells gluten meat (seitan) to take away for cooking at home. 30bs bought me 500g, which came in a ball for slicing, frying, roasting etc.

Great find in Cocha! - Edit
Lunch is a buffet for 18bs, which is a great deal! I always leave very full. There are over a dozen salad-type things to pick from, and always a variety of great homemade sauces/dressings. The buffet includes your choice of one (of two) entrees (usually including a fake meat), white or brown rice, and a choice of one (of two) soups. The juices are always homemade and desserts are light and fruity. It really is a great place, but easy to miss! The name is painted on the outside wall/windows. Wonderful!

Good Buffet (but a bit hidden) - Edit
The restaurant is at the back of a courtyard that also has another restaurant and a hostel (keep your eyes open, the sign is only a portable one near the entrance of the courtyard through a passageway). The buffet now costs B$18 (about US$2.50), and includes your choice of 2 entrees (one of them vegan), 2 soups, a whole-grain roll, and a lot of salad items/condiments. Mostly a mix of Bolivian vegetarian and some international dishes (some dishes were even a bit spicy--especially for Bolivian standards--and they did have hot peppers as a condiment). For beverages, they have mate (not specified which kind) and juices. The tables in the courtyard are mostly shaded, and the courtyard has a lot of character--a nice relaxing place to eat outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of the nearby streets! (There are also tables indoors.) Only 2 disadvantages I could think of--they're only open for lunch, and the buffet is a one-time through opportunity, no refills (so big eaters may want to keep that in mind), though portion sizes of the food they serve you from the buffet (versus the self-serve part) are good.

Great food mostly vegan! - Edit
I just came from this place, and it is wonderful! It`s a one time all you can grab buffet for 13 bolivianos which is less than $2us. The food is kind of Indian, but not really, but very much worth the price. There were only two or three things which were not vegan on the whole buffet! If one time up is not enough, seconds are easily affordable!

Cons: Not 100% Vegan, Not much!
