Nice Patio - Good not Great food

Went here for dinner. The patio in the back is beautiful and the cathedral is next door so it’s got a good view. Not many vegan options to choose from but what I had was pretty good. I got the fajitas and the peppers, onions, and mushrooms were cooked well but very oily. The tableside guacamole was delicious. Not cheap.

Pros: Nice atmosphere in the back, Good service, Cathedral view

Cons: Pricey, Not a lot of vegan options but some

Great Mexican restaurant

This restaurant is pretty fancy.
You can see the woman making the tortillas so they are very fresh. We ordered nachos and they made the guacamole on the spot right before serving.
I do not recall them having many vegan options but still a great place.
I had the fajitas and I enjoyed it very much.

Pros: Fancy if you like, Fresh food

Cosy atmosphere with friendly staff

Went here on a whim with my husband, and the outdoor seating in the back was very romantic. Had many vegetarian options but not that many vegan, didn’t mind though as we only went once. Food was good but a bit tasteless (like many other dishes I tried I Mexico). The vegetables could have benefited from more seasoning. Drinks were very good though and staff very friendly! A bit pricey but give its location in the very central parts of Valladolid that was no surprise. Was a nice visit.

Ver bland, limited options, too expensive

Don’t bother going, not many plant based options, ambience inside horrible. No flavour in the food whatsoever. Sad sad food.

Beautiful garden and housemade tortillas

We spent a very nice lunch here. We ate in the backyard terrace which is adorable and found nice vegan options. Guacamole was super good and made in front of us by the waiter. Also our children loved to watch how tortillas were made. Probably a bit pricey, but it's on the central place of Valladolid, it's the prices you can expect in this area. As Valladolid is a touristic place, it can be difficult to have a table sometimes.

Pros: Nice outdoor seating, Tasty food, Some food is made in front of you

Cons: A bit pricey, Can be crowded

Worst taste of food

If you look for healthy good tasting food don’t go there. I was waiting 40 minutes for disgusting food that I returned. The waiter was friendly and brought empanadas that weren’t deep fried, still I disliked the taste a lot, worst food during my Mexico trip. Also it was very pricey for the low standard.

Pros: Friendly waiter

Cons: Food is low frequency , Weird taste, Too much animal food in the menu

Beautiful place but...

The place itself is beautiful (the patio outdoor). I ordered a pasta with veggies (not in the menu) as there was no option for vegan pasta. It turned out good. Overall I didn't find the vegan options on the menu very exciting... And it's pricey...

Not bad

It was ok, not many vegan/vegetarian options, and some of them are small and not cheap. But, the place is very nice, great atmosphere. I think it's a good place if You are with non vegan/vegetarian people

Nice service; acceptable food

Warning ⚠️ Veggie fajitas come with a black bean sauce that is made with pork butter (has pork fat); so they’re not even veg, make sure to say you’re vegan. I was told by the waiter and got the sauce replaced.

Service was great and food was okay, nothing crazy but it was descent. Staff were very aware of what is vegan which I really appreciated. They gave me other sauce instead of the non veggie one.

Note: If you order Guacamole they make it in front of you which is nice.

Je eet in de prachtige tuin. Er is zelf een vijver met 2 schildpadden. Ik at een gevulde courgette. Prachtig opgemaakt bord en heerlijk vers!

Good food, nice touches

This restaurant is aimed at tourists (such as myself): the food is not especially Mexican, and the prices are more than the places off the tourist strip. Nonetheless, we had two cocktails, guacamole, the free tortillas (see below) and two entrées for the price of drinks at a restaurant in any US city.

As noted, there are dishes marked as veg. There isn't a lot without cheese, but it only takes one or two options to get fed, and we found more than enough.

The tortillas are made by a woman prominently placed near the entrance to the garden. I tipped her, as did a lot of others, and for good reason. If all you do is order guacamole and grilled vegetables, you could assemble for yourself a few of the finest tacos ever using those tortillas.

Pros: Handmade tortillas, Good cocktails

Cons: Palpable feel of pandering to tourists

Pocas opciones veganas

El restaurante es bonito, tiene un patio con fuente muy tranquilo. Hay una señora que hace tortillas a mano. Hay un menú vegetariano, pero si eres vegano debes tener cuidado y preguntar los ingredientes ya que varias cosas tienen caldo de pollo o lácteos. Pedí una parrillada de verduras (fue lo único 100% vegano que encontré) y estaba rica.

Pros: Bonito jardín con fuente, Tortillas hechas a mano , Buen servicio

Cons: Pocas opciones veganas , El mesero no sabía bien lo que es ser vegano

Good food!

Despite mixed Google reviews and slightly higher prices, we decided to give this a try. Service was good and food was decent portions! Good English from staff which was very helpful. Empanadas and panuchos for starters were the best part but made a vegan burrito and vegan fajitas which were very filling! Just remember to ask no cheese or cream!

Pros: Good portions size

Cons: Expensive

Lots of Veg Options

Great little Mayan fusion restaurant. Large menu with 2 pages dedicated to vegetarian items. Some are already vegan, others can be modified. I had the veggie panuchos and the grilled veg plate. Both were good. We also got a pitcher of the chaya juice, which was refreshing! It also has a nice atmosphere. We sat in the courtyard behind the restaurant. It was also cool to watch the lady making traditional mayan tortillas on a griddle they had set up outside.

Pros: Lots of options, Excellent food, Creative plating
