A lot of vegan options, not all of them are good - Edit
It's a restaurant with many vegetarian and vegan options and they are well labeled. Nevertheless my vegan spaghetti carbonara was too greasy and the meat alternative was missing (it was basically just spaghetti with cream, pepper and onions.). The atmosphere there is really nice though. You can only pay by card if 5% is fine for you (and they will add 10% automatically to the price).

depends on what you choose - Edit
I went there twice. The first time was disappointing, the second time was better. The taco reminded me of a burrito rather than a taco but it was alright. I had a small bite of the chili which was good. They have many vegan options but you kind of need to be lucky to choose a good one.
Read moreMy original review after the first time:
The fries were lacking salt, but compared to other restaurants in Nicaragua they were good. So was the burger patty. The bread looked and tasted self-made and very (!) dry. After one bite, the burger completely fell apart. It wasn't horrible, just not very enjoyable. The portion size looked small, but since I was chewing on the bread for ages, it was big enough for me to feel full at the end.
They charge 10% for the service. You can also pay with a card, but that's an extra 5%.
They have many vegan options and I might have chosen the wrong one. I am sure there are better ones.

Lots of options! - Edit
I wish I was hungrier! We chilled out in the hammocks here and I tried the garbanzo ceviche. Cool spot!

Sehr leckeres veganes Frühstück verfügbar - Edit
Ich liebe die Bananan Pancakes so sehr, dass ich das andere nicht versucht habe und immer diese bestellen musste (die Portion ist auch richtig schön gross) 🙈 Die Tacos, das Tradicional und die Pizza kann ich tagsüber/abends auch sehr empfehlen. Getränke sind alle unglaublich süss - für meinen Geschmack zu süss, auch die Fruchtsäfte sind nicht ohne Zuckerzusatz erhältlich.

Cons: Besser mehrere Male erwähnen falls vegan erwündcht

Good food - Edit
Due to Semana Santa they had a reduced menu with only two vegetarian options which they could veganize. I took the tipico which was fried green plantain with vegan chorizo, tortilla chips and a lovely warmer pot with beans. Everything tasted really good, it was very greasy though. Service was friendly, although not the quickest.

Different vegetarian options, for me the wrong dish choice - Edit
I had the grilled watermelon. I just had to try it but I didn't like it too much to be honest. Maybe it was just me but it tasted more than hit butter than watermelon. The veggis were pretty taste less and the rice was good. I guess from such a uncommon dish I expected more.
