Great Vegan Options in Ponce

This is the restaurant to go to in Ponce if you’re looking for vegan food. Selection of salads, pizza, tacos, wraps, etc. We tried the vegan tacos with vegan chicken and tofu. Delicious!

Delicious burger and juice

The ‘vegan burger’ was awesome but comes on a bun that is not vegan. The veggie pita pizza was pretty lame. The juices were great.

Best option in Ponce

Solid stop for a true vegan meal in Ponce. Nothing was great. The arroz maposteado and quinoa and bean salad were by far the best dishes I had.
Food generally lacks flavor. A lot of things were very greasy. But given the lack of options in the area, I’d gladly go back.

Pros: Vegan options, Friendly service, Fresh

Buenas opciones, pero expandiré en algo que me preocupa

Yo le notifiqué a 1 empleado que le deben sazonar el tofu con especias ya que no le echaron nada, solo lo sacaron del paquete lo picaron y pusieron por encima en la pizza vegana. Otra cosa es que te hacen pensar que la "vegan quesadilla" de $8.99 no lleva queso vegano y si quieres queso vegano, te costará $2 extra, haciéndote pensar que la quesadilla costaría $11 cuando ya se supone que la quesadilla es con queso vegano, DEBEN borrarle la parte de que "You can add vegan cheese". ¿Si yo digo que no le añadas queso vegano, me estarás dando queso animal, y si te digo 'sí, añádele queso vegano' me estarás dando queso animal queso vegano? No tiene ningún sentido y me parece mensaje engañoso y cobrando extra por algo que ya dice que ya contiene queso vegano sin "ADD VEGAN CHEESE"... 🤨🤔🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Visita del 3 de diciembre 2023:
Recomiendo el Vegan burger (vegan "chicken breast"), sabe rico👍🏼
Pregunté a la chica sobre ingredientes del pan que usen y ella me dice que no tiene esa información, pero que le compran a alguien que se los hace. Entonces yo no pude confirmar que sí fuera pan vegano, pero pensando que es posible que cuando son panes hechos en casa, suelen ser bastante simple y suelen ser ingredientes basados en plantas, pues pedí el Vegan Burger, pero cuando lo ordeno, ella no me notifica que el pan de este "vegan burger" no es el mismo pan que estábamos hablando. Cuando le pregunto me dice que era otro pan el cual tampoco me logró decir ingredientes cuando al parecer de ese pan sí tuvieran esa info, como quiera ya yo me lo estaba comiendo, so ya no pude hacer ningún cambio. FINALMENTE: yo desepcionado con el hecho de que ella no me dejó saber, le explico que no me lo dejó saber y que al ella no hacerlo, posiblemente me hizo que yo sin saberlo, estuviera pagando por ABUSO ANIMAL. 🥺💔🤦🏽‍♂️ Espero que me equivoque, y el pan no tuviera nada animal. Si sí tenía abuso animal... I'M SORRY LITTLE 😭ANIMALS. SOY VEGANO POR LOS ANIMALES pero es posible quw pagué para que les abusen💔💔💔

Watch 📽 "EARTHLINGS" on YouTube for the truth.

Tremendo. Esto es un error grave. Puede aver gente que pidieron una quesadilla pensando que tiene queso vegano pero realmente consumaron secreciones de animales. 😵😷 espero que hagan el cambio en el menú. Brutal.

Good vegan options

This place has a menu with vegan options clearly labelled. I disagree with previous reviews stating the food was lacking in flavor - I felt my vegan pizza was quite good. We also ordered vegan fajitas with tasty vegan chicken, beans and quinoa. Friendly staff as well. Overall I think this place is a decent choice.

Friendly service but the vegan dishes can be improved.

More seasoning for the vegan dishes will be great.

Pros: Friendly , Choices, Great drinks

Cons: The vegan options need more seasoning.

Great vegan optipm

I normally look for 100% vegan restaurants which are non-existent in Ponce. But this place did not disappoint with their separate vegan menu and delicious vegan soft-serve and good coffee.

Pros: Separate vegan menu with lots of options, Vegan soft serve (they change flavors weekly)

Carry out options good

We showed up but right now they are only accepting carry out orders. The woman working showed us a qt code so we’re able to order, go get gas and then our order was pretty much ready.

We ordered vegan tofu tacos and the panchega . Both ended up being the vegan chicken as protein but it was still good. The chips that came with the tacos were stale but no matter- everything
else was great! Loved the detox juice which was carrot, ginger and apple mix!

Pros: Amazing juices
