Very good

I had a lentil burger and an americano coffee. Burger was a bit dry but very tasty and a big improvement after I added ketchup. Extensive vegan options. Recommended.

Not great for vegans

I tried 2 different options from set menu, 1 was good, but small - salad, lentils drinks. If you choose curried rice you better off eating somewhere for half price with more rice and veg.

Main meals from the menu were disaster, for the price it was very small and bland.

I believe it used to be good years ago with the original owner.

They have no idea about how to cook the things they have put on their menu.

Pros: Set menu, Vegan deserts

Cons: Expensive, small and bland

Love this place :)

Vegetarian Burritos are out of this world and I also tried Tortillas con verduras salteadas. Delicious. They have a range of vegan desserts too - banana cake with chocolate was my choice. Not at all expensive either

Cute place

Got the chickpea/soy meat wrap, nothing too special but very nicely seasoned and the portion was huge! There’s also a daily menu that serves different starters and mains that you can choose from and a meat dish. We usually waited for quite a bit before our food came but the wait was never unbearable. The mango juice is so amazing that I went back there a few times just for the juice.

Healthy daily menu with natural ingredients

They have a daily vegetarian lunch menu for 25 soles where you can choose from different starters, main plates and drinks. I had it with a maracuja drink, vegetable soup and lentils with sauteed vegetables. All dishes were freshly prepared and tasty. Some people might find it a bit bland, but I really liked that it was served without too much oils and seasonings added. Felt like a healthy meal and was exactly what I was looking for.

Pros: Daily menu and a la carte, Lots of vegetarian and vegan dishes, Whole grain bread and pasta

Cons: Serves meat

Très bon

J'ai beaucoup aimé le chausson aux épinards ainsi que mon plat de lentilles et légumes mi-cuits. Très savoureux et frais !

Disappointing

Restaurant now serves meat. Waiter said there were vegan dishes but then brought out things with dairy in them. Food was very bland and overall disappointing. Can get much better for cheaper in Máncora.

Pros: Set meal in the evening

Cons: Staff were unsure of what was vegan, Bland food, No longer vegetarian restaurant

Solid meal, very average

We went here for dinner and were full and satisfied as we left. Would highly recommend the daily menu, as that is one of the cheaper and more filling options. The food was well-tasting but overall quite average.
Mancora is generally more expensive than the rest of Peru, so this place is a great option for a budget friendlier meal.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very friendly staff

Gluten Free options, too

2 days ago I had the amazing luck to find Angela's place. I was so excited that she had not only vegan, but gluten free entries , and i would probably say low gluten, to be more accurate as corn has some gluten, i think, but my arthritis is more concerned with not eating wheat. The portions were gigantic, i probably should have split the meal and taken some to my hotel room, but i had been on the bus for hours, so was really overly hungry. The 2 corn pancakes were divine, as well as huge. Much taste. I smeared them with the hummus, which was a bit bland, but not everyone loves spicey hummus, like i do. The salad was raw veggies like avacado , squash and carrot cut into very tiny cubes, not sure what that style is called , so nourishing. She also put 2 pieces of her camote, or sweet potato, bread on the plate, which are supposedly gluten free and vegan. All that came to 31 soles, yeah, that is pricey for PERU, but not considering the quality of the ingrediants, and the amount of food on the plate.

Went twice, completely mixed experience...

First-time we had the set combo, starters were nice but the main which was supposed to be "curry" was nothing more than dry brown slightly curried rice and a bit of veg. The type of veggie meal you'd expect from a meat restaurant with no imagination.

We went back due to lack of options in Máncora and had the veggie burgers with fries. These were tasty and the portion sizes were huge.

The staff are friendly.

Giving it a 4* despite the poor initial experience because I think if you order the "right" thing it'll be good. However steer clear of the curry (aka dry rice and veg).

Very average

Very average. We ordered the Ratatouille sandwich and the vegetable sandwich. The sandwiches were very dry served on stale bread and plain with not the veggies we expected. There was no sides served with the sandwiches.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Stale bread

Not that good.

We ate a ratatouille sandwich and waited ages for it. People came after us for take away and they got their food bevor us, that was kinda annoying.

The sandwich itself was nothing special, didn‘t taste of that much and the bread was obviously old. Therefore we paid too much.

Cons: Too pricy, Old bread, Waited too long

Delicious vegan food!

The lentils with a veggie salat are very tasty and a solid portion. The Quinoa Tabulé was a bit smaller, but not less yummy.

Pros: Pretty big menu of vegan options, Vegetarian dishes can easily be veganized, Friendly staff and nice atmo

The food is really tasty and you are happy to choose :). We had some sandwiches and a cake. It's a bit pricey for Peru.

Simple and good

Good food in general. I went there 3 times and I was never disappointed. Could be better with more food / bigger portions for some dishes.

Great pizza, whole grain bread etc.

My husband and I, both vegan, went to Angela’s desperate to have a tasty vegan meal. We were positively surprised. The prices are, compared to local prices, a little high but it’s worth it. I had a “green” pizza which is made of whole grain wheat with a tasty topping of creamy spinach, paprika, champignons and instead of cheese they put tomatoes. My husband had the vegetarian Gulasch which was actually vegan and it was also very tasty. Afterwards we had vegan pancakes and an apple strudel, which were really good. We also bought whole grain bread and banana bread for our breakfast the next day. The bread was the closest to German bread that I’ve tasted to far in Ecuador. The place was owned by a German women before, therefore the name “Angela” but is now owned by a Peruvian lady and run by two nice Peruvian women that kept up the concept and foods. 👍🏻

Pros: Many vegan options, Great vegan bread and cakes, Nice waitress and service

Cons: A bit pricy but high quality ingredients

good food. bit expensive.

Solid vegan and veg options for Mancora. A little pricey, but I’m always happy to pay the price in non-vegan friendly areas.

Pros: menu, hummus!, vegan cakes

Cons: price

Good veg food

I had a veg burger (garbanzo) it was moist, great flavor, ripe dark red sliced tomatoes were yummy, came on a freshly made chabata bun. 18 soles. I didn’t notice any meat on the menu. I went back for a second burger.

Amazing salads

I went to Angela's place, thinking the restaurant looked a bit too casual and relaxed for there to be good food, but know what? I was pleasantly surprised.
I went twice and both times got a salad, because I loved it so much. I don't know what dressing they used, but it was really good.
One time I also got a quinoa burger(the vegan option), which was also really good.
Overall I'm really impressed with Angela's place and I would recommend it if you're thinking of eating there.

Pros: good food, vegan options

Okay but overpriced

Went here a couple times during our stay in Mancora. The first time I had a dinner menu consisting of a falafel tzatziki and main was a spinach and cheese pastry with lentils. The second time I had a chickpea burger. The falafel starter was tiny and the pastry quitedry. The burger wad okay but for the price paid (around 25 soles, no side included) I was pretty disappointed. The service was also extremely slow even when no one else in the restaurant. We came to find Green Eggs & Ham had some great, reasonably priced veg-friendly brunch options and amazing beach view.

Good dinner

We have been twice here. Food was good for vegetarian food in Peru. The Tzaziki was very good and the lentil dishes, too. One day we also had a very good pizza. We just saw the burrito at some one elses plate and they looked good. The waiter was very nice and relaxed.

Pros: Only vegetarian place in town, Nice and friendly staff, Good music

Nice Vegan Find in Mancora

A nice find with an extensive menu. Juices, extractions and smoothies. Fresh baked breads, salads, sandwiches, pastas, lentils.

I especially enjoyed the bread and 5 dips platter to share.

Pros: on Main Street near commercial center

Cons: not always open, slow service

Not as good as expected

I was excited to eat here, but unfortunately the food was dry and not as tasty as I expected. After talking to a local, once Angela sold the restaurant, the quality went down. A big bummer, but still a place to get vegetarian food. Gordo Gorila a few places down the street was much better and at a better price.

Excellent, healthy menu

This place is vegetarian. The menu is very healthy - whole grain rice, sugar free options. I had the menu and chose falafel to start and then pesto pasta with a sugar free homemade lemonade for 22 soles. I thought it was very good, nice presentation and friendly staff.

Pros: healthy meals
