Okay

Most items on the menu are vegetarian based and then you can add meat, but this means there's not much substance to the base meal. Can add things though and the burrito was fine

Only meat dishes when we came

We were looking forward to this very much because there are not that many vegan options left in Langkawi after the pandemic and many restaurants are closed.
We went there at 01.00pm (usual opening time is 12.30pm) and were told that we should come back at 03.00pm because they did not have any ingredients right now but would reopen at 03.00pm. Accordingly, we waited for two hours passing the time in the mall, walking around the shops of Cenang and getting drinks somewhere else. Other potential customers did the same. When we returned after two hours, we were seated and given the menu, and were told that only the mains were available (these are vegetarian by default, meat is add-on). Upon request the waitress confirmed that the sides were available, too. However, when we wanted to order tacos and burritos without the cheese, we were informed that apart from lettuce, only meat was available. They did not have any vegetables at all, no beans, no guacamole, nothing.
We left very disappointed because we wasted two hours for nothing and I think we should have been told about the situation when we were seated, not only when we were ready to order, especially since vegetarian is the default version of the mains. Instead, the waitress said that the mains were available, which led us to believe that everything with the mains was fine and we were even more disappointed when we learned that only meat was available.
The reason they gave was that they had a full house the day before and thus they ran out of stock, which I understand, but I still think they should have handled this differently and it is not good customer service.

I still give two stars because the staff apologized and were very friendly and understanding, and the venue itself looks nice and is very cozy. The location in the mall is quite a good one as well and it is easy to find.
This is just a snapshot in time and other reviews are better. Still, we will not be back.

Pretty average

Got the loaded fries made vegan and it was a pile of cold soggy fries with black beans. No seasoning.
Also got the taco which has no protein in it, just salad and salsa.
I won't return unless I was really strapped for options 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really good

I got a vegetarian burrito and asked for no cheese/sour cream. It was delicious!
Best part: they agreed to pack it in my silicone reusable container for takeaway to avoid plastic. Really nice staff too.

Not bad, and at least open.

Pandemic ravaged Langkawi is a different place. Many restaurants have changed menus or are closed. This place is in the mall and remains open with regular hours. Burritos and tacos can be made vegan by leaving out cheese. Very friendly staff. Not very Malaysian but, after checking out four other closed or 'no vegan options' restaurants, it hit the spot.

Pros: Easy to vegan-ize a few dishes. , Good service. , Central location (Pantai Cenang).

Cons: A bit expensive., Small portions. , Not much protein.

Good little mexcian

A lot of dishes are vegetarian by default (pay to add meat) which was good. Food was tasty but nothing special.

Nice burrito's

There are some vegetarian items on the menu. The owner does not understand 'vegan' but when you explain and ask for no cheese and no sour cream, you get the most yummy vegan mexican dish! It is so well spiced, the textures are great and the sauces are so good, that you can't imagine that people want non-vegan add-ons. It is perfect as it is without any animal cruelty 😊

Pros: Nice waiter

Cons: A bit pricy

Good vegetarian mexican options

Excellent food and service. Vegetarian options available for all of the mains on the menu (ask for no cheese if Vegan). We couldn't identify anything else non vegan served with our food but check with waiter if unsure. Staff were friendly, amazing views of sunset and good drinks. A hidden gem, up a few flights of stairs off the main street. A town where vegetarian/vegan options are more difficult to find so this is a winner. Food was really really tasty.

Pros: Service, Food, Views
