Nice restaurant near the airport

We were here on our first and last day in Costa Rica.
The food is good but a bit overpriced.

Pros: Good food

Cons: A bit pricey

Pricey for very mediocre food

Much more expensive than any of the other restaurants in the area and we found the food wasn't very good. The tacos didn't even have fresh tortillas, just lettuce, a bit of avocado and vegan mayo with the cauliflower wings. Overall, were left disapponted.

Okay

The texture of the foods are great though the taste is a bit bland. VERY fresh ingredients.

Great food after long travel day

I got the onion rings, house made iced tea, and the veggie burrito. All were amazing, the food came in fresh and warm, and the server/cook was very nice. Don’t have any complaints😄

Great stop if you are near the airport

Good selection and everything was very tasty. I had a few hours to spare at the airport so took a cab into town.

A great find!

This lovely restaurant was a five minute walk from our airport flat and after a long day of travel, we couldn’t have been more pleased! The menu is entirely vegan and nicely varied. We had the homemade chickpea burger which was delicious along with beautiful, large salad. The portobello burger was meh but there is also a quinoa burger which the folks sitting next to us said was very good. We will absolutely return here we head back to the city at the end of our trip.

Stopped by to get a chickpea burger to go. the restaurant staff were friendly, and the food didn’t take long to appear. Nice vibes in the restaurant.

obviously i should have eaten the food there, as i then got stuck in traffic 🙈 but we live and learn. still tasty 45 minutes later 🍔

Great Food - all organic and vegan

We made this our first stop and one of our last stops in Costa Rica.
Great owner, organic, great dishes. We got their Crispy Chante Burger twice and I really liked the patacones on our last meal. They also had a locally made passion fruit (maracuya) cake our first meal.

Yes it is a pricier option than other places but it is also using organic ingredients and make many things like their chickpea and other patties in house.

Pros: Great Ingredients, Interesting Menu, Veganized Costa Rican Dishes

Ordered Delivery

Ordering delivery was a little confusing. We called and the menu on Facebook I guess is not updated. They said to look on Instagram but it’s the same menu. No website. Then then told us to order by texting them in WhatsApp. The delivery was fast. About 30 min from when we ordered. The food was amazing! I regret not taking pictures. We had the Crispy Chante burger, the patacones and the chalupas. Also, got the quinoa burger which was not as good but still very good!

Pros: Really good food, Fast

Cons: Hard to order delivery/take out

Good food.

This is the first/only place I’ve tried in San Jose. Maybe I’ll come back and edit this after I’ve eaten other place. This place is small, but has a large menu (picture added). I got the nachos, the eggplant burger, a watermelon drink, and a slice of chocolate cake (pictures added). Everything was very good. The total was $29 US, which seems very high to me.

Good

The patacones were delicious. 🤤 Definitely recommend.
I did not care for the chifrijo. I think it probably was good just not my flavor profile. I was expecting a plate of rice and beans with the "pork" but it came more like a soup.

Pros: All vegan , Inexpensive

Tasty chalupa!

I had the chalupas, it’s 3 hard shelled corn tortillas with beans, soy meat lettuce, pico de gallo and vegan mayo. Easy walk from park.

Pros: Everything is vegan, Tasty juices, Friendly staff

They have a variety of options, also smothies and fruit bowls! Even my dad who isn't a vegan loved their burger. If you are in Alajuela it's a must.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Delicious food, Great service

Delicious Vegan Food in Costa Rica

The food was absolutely delicious! The chickpea burger was great, the french fries were much better than the usual, and the guacamole burger was divine. It was a welcoming and very clean place. And the waitstaff spoke English when our Spanish was inadequate. I highly recommend this place!

Pros: Everything on the menu was vegan , Food was delicious , Welcoming and clean

Cute spot near San José

Th food was good but the bread to pattie ratio was too big for my tastes. Would definitely go back to retry some of the other dishes.

Lovely place

Came into this place after seeing it close to me; ordered vegan Nachos, a dragon fruit and pineapple drink. Everything was excellent, service was not too fast nor too slow.
I also had the best blackberry pie I ever had, highly recommended.

Pros: Everything is vegan, perfect if love options, The waitress had the cutest smile, Service was great, the food as well

Cons: Little expensive but worth it if you ask me

Super neat spot

We came right before they closed and we're going to order to go. They were super friendly and insisted it was ok if we stay and ate there. The food was super fresh, quality ingredients and prices affordable. Definitely will return.

Very good vegan food and yummy dessert

The vegan food was very good and the vegan dessert, a cake was delicious. They have a lot of vegan food but i stayed just one day in Alajuela, so i could try only one meal.

Pros: very good vegan food, Friedly Staff, yummy cake

Stinking service

I don’t like leaving vegan places negative reviews but I feel the need to call out how bad the service was here when we visited.

We felt distinctly unwelcome from the moment we walked in. Staff couldn’t care less and made no effort to be friendly or welcoming. It was an awkward, uncomfortable experience and I wish we’d gone elsewhere.

Cons: Bad service

The food was good

I ate here with my boyfriend, the food was good. We got burgers and we both really liked them. I can’t say I was impressed by the Oreo milkshake tho or the cupcake we got. I would say if you order something, go by what others have had and liked.

Pros: Juices are yummy , Lots of options , Yummy burgers

Cons: The fries are ok, Sweets not worth it

Worst service ever

The service there is so bad. Their card machine wasn’t working and we needed to hop into our cab with no more time to go to the atm as they suggested so we ended up leaving hungry. We ordered food here when we arrived to CR (which wasn’t tasty or nice at all) but we thought to give it another try as we want to support vegan businesses .. but unfortunately they left us unsatisfied both times plus they were out of a lot of food and not to talk about the ambience which is basically not exist.

Cons: Rude people , No ambience
