Decepcionante

Las arepas son congeladas o recalentadas, sería mejor si las pusiesen recién hechas. Los patacones están fríos y duros. Los tequeños muy bien aunque se note que no son caseros. El quesillo que utilizan no es bueno. Me da pena poner malas críticas en un sitio con tantas opciones veganas y con trabajadores tan amables. Quizás sólo fue un mal día y todo mejora. Por lo pronto sólo recomendaría el ambiente y las bebidas (riquísimas)

Pros: Bebidas muy ricas, Servicio excelente

Cons: Arepas duras, Patacones fríos

Rico!

Solo he ido una vez y pedí el plato de Degustación que tiene un poco de todo, me encantan las arepas y la salsa verde buenísima!

Genial!

Pedimos un menú para compartir que estaba riquísimo, así probamos un poco de todo.
El lugar tenía muy buen ambiente y la atención fue de 10!!

Comida de 10

Los tequeños veganos y las setas crujientes son de lo mejor que he probado. Platos sencillos, deliciosos y local 100% vegetariano y vegano.

Solo atienden con reserva

Pero conseguimos hacernos con una mesa, gracias a una pareja alemana que se iba y nos cedió su sitio.

Pros: La comida, El local, La bebida

Cons: La lentitud de los camareros., La música: no tenía nada que ver con lo que venden, Me dijeron que una salsa no picaba y era 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Great arepas

A friend and I shared the sharing platter here which was a good option—arepitas, tajades and guiso de carne were all good. However the falafel in the middle were incongruous and didn’t really work. If I went again I think I would get a couple of the individual dishes instead—my girlfriend’s arepa was good. I had the crema catalana for dessert which had a nice passion fruit flavour but was otherwise a bit underwhelming.

The bar was dark, loud, quite quiet at 8:30 on a Thursday night, and the service was functional rather than friendly.

Unique and delicious. Central American and Carribean novelties done vegan or vegetarian. A wealth of choices and a great selection of cocktails. Cozy, trendy, fun.

Good selection of nice food

We tried three different Arepas, which were pretty good. Unfortunately, most of them are with meat replacements and it is difficult to tell them apart. the ceviche one was excellent though.
The restaurant is very charming but a big minus for having to pay extra for making the arepas vegan (vegan cheese).
Quite pricey too

Pros: Great selection, Atypical menu , Very charming place

Cons: Up-charge for vegans, Mostly meat replacements, Pricey

Buen sitio para tomar algo y picar

Sitio especializado en cócteles y bebidas, donde tienen una selección de arepas muy ricas. El pan de arepa está riquísimo. Quizá las cantidades, algo pequeñas para el precio. Ambiente agradable en el local, y una terraza muy linda y acogedora para los meses cálidos.

Pros: Muchas opciones de platos veganos, Buen sabor

Cons: Algo caro, Cantidad del plato algo escasa

Amazing place

Almost everything in the menù is vegan or has a vegan option. The staff is very friendly and price reasonable for what they offer.

Excellent venue with a nice patio

The best part of the venue is the patio with lights that create a romantic ambience. But it closes at 22h.
Good vegan tapas. The mango ceviche is delicious.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice and romantic patio

Good food, messy service

Fully vegetarian Venezuelan menu, wonderful arepas and cocktails. The outdoor terrace closed at 10, we asked for a table specifically for dinner at 9.30 and they sat us outside, just to force us to move to a table indoors in the middle of the dish. When we came in cocktail in hand, there was a table with our food already served (probably for a few minutes already) that no one said was ours, we had to deduce it was based on the food that was served.

So, good food, but the service in our case was quite messy and could have been much better.

Pros: Fully vegetarian with many vegan options , Good food and drinks

Cons: Bad service, Drinks were quite pricey , Very dark indoors

Very good food and drinks

We had the vegan degustacion de rabi. It was overall very nice with a good selection la dishes. The only criticism was the mango ceviche. It tasted nice but it was bit of a let down. We were expecting something more punchy since they called it a ceviche but it was more of a simple mango salad. Would love if they included vegan tequeños in their menu.

Missing vegan tequeños!

When I asked for vegan tequeños, they told me they don’t have it *yet*, cannot wait for the day I can come back and try them!

We went on a Saturday night, pretty busy, bar-ish kind of environment with loud music, just what you expect.

The food was really delicious! I tried the four arepas, some were better then the others but overall great experience! Would love to try another one of their dishes, pretty big and varied menu. #Veganuary
