Good portions but not the best sandwiches

We had the tofu sandwich and the seitan sandwich, both had way too much cheese on, and the fries were a bit oily and soggy. The seitan was good, and had a chewy, pork texture. Decent value for money and might go back to try the empanadas, but I wouldn’t recommend the sandwiches.

Pros: Good portion sizes, Nice fresh juice

Cons: Too much cheese on sandwich, Soggy fries, Not many staff

Porções gigantes e preço justo

Restaurante 100% vegano com diversas opções desde salada até churrasco, empanadas e sanduíches. Também tem sucos muito gostosas e sobremesas deliciosas. As porções são realmente grande (mesmo mesmo) e alimenta 2 pessoas. O copo de suco tem uns 500mL.
O ambiente é agradável, a comida chega bem rápido e toca música ao fundo (rock).

Pros: Tamanho das porções , Valor, Música ambiente boa (rock)

Decent food, massive portions

We had the seitan estrella which was fantastic, and the lentil patties which were a bit bland but the altiplanic potatoes and salad they came with were great. Both meals were so big we couldn’t get close to finishing them. The fresh juices were ok. The vibe was nice.

3 times amazing, 1 time very disappointing

We have been here 4 times in total - 3 of those times were amazing! Especially the Seitan Estrella and the Tofu Ceviche, which are some of the best vegan dishes we have ever had. And the juices were also very good!
Tonight was our 4th time here and we ordered these 2 favorite meals. Unfortunately, we were so disappointed..
Apparently there are 2 sisters cooking on different days of the week and we coincidentally always visited when one of the sisters was there. Tonight the other sister was cooking and the quality difference was huge. We almost couldn't believe we were eating at the same place. Everything was different - the juice and smoothie were watery and both our dishes almost had no flavour. The Ceviche was very watery as well and the Seitan missed the great flavourful sauce and the fries tasted like they were old.
I gave 4 stars because our overall experience was good. But I would give the first sister 5 stars & the second sister 1 star.

Pros: Good variety

Cons: Quality difference between the 2 cooks, Closed one day a week, so check before you go!

Vegan Chilean in the Desert

Amazing to find a “fully” vegan restaurant in San Pedro de Atacama. I put fully in quotes because they seat you on one half of the restaurant for vegan and the other side serves meat. We really enjoyed Altaplanica main dish

Updated from previous review on 2024-12-27

Pros: Fully vegan menu, Delicious

Cons: Very slow

Great food

Great selection of food and cheaper if you come at lunch and get one of the plates. Thai spaghetti, empanadas and bowls etc all great. Can't go wrong.

Large Rare Steak on the Next Table

Shares one side of a quite open space in a building with an omni restaurant on the other side of an aisle I had eaten and was hoping for dessert. I enjoyed my experience-until one person on a table of two next to me (between me and the wall) was served a large, rare steak. I smelt it, and had to get up and leave immediately. I got up so quickly that I forgot my sunglasses and had to go back about 15mins later. That was when I saw the couple requesting their bill at their table and realised the 2nd person at the table didn't even eat (let alone vegan).

Really disappointing experience. The guy who ordered the steak couldve been asked to go to the other restaurant when he ordered. I did hear the waiter explaining the setup when they walked through the door. I just didn't hear the guy order, or I would have respectfully asked for them to now sit in the vegan restaurant.

Very weird and thoroughly disappointing. I couldn't eat there for the next 4 days of my San Pedro stay. I chose to eat at Roots. It was Omni, but at least didn't pretend to be vegan and could eat in the outdoor Court yard where the smell isn't trapped.

Cons: Rare steak served., Not offered dessert while waiting for quite awhile

Lol imagine dragging the only vegan business in San Pedro for something they can't really control, and advocate/patronize for a business that kills animals. Vegans really do themselves a disservice sometimes.

If you are at an omni restaurant you aren't shocked to smell meat next to you in a confined space. Stumped as to why a restaurant is not able to ask a non patron to seat in the correct restaurant. If you've been there you would know they are distinct, and that a collaborative existence would surely mean the other restaurant would say "over here". Pretty sure a restaurant wouldn't allow someone to sit down with their own sandwiches. Or walk into a restaurant with a Macdonalds lunch.
I'm surprised that you don't think restaurants trying hard to provide for a narrow market deserve no kudos. But hey, some people just have very narrow minds.

Good food

Small place but wide variety on the menu. I liked the tofu babaganoush bowl and my husband's lentil burger was fantastic. The only downside was the live music was so loud we couldn't talk to each other across the table.

All vegan, lot of options and traditional food

They have a lot of options. I love that they have traditional options but vegan: Ceviche, chorrillana, empanadas, some sweets like alfajores. Fresh pressed juices too!

Pros: All vegan, Very tasty, Traditional food with local ingrediente

Tasty food and relaxing atmosphere

The hamburger sandwich I ordered was very tasty and the atmosphere including the mural painting was very nice and relaxing.
The crepes as a dessert were also delicious.

Only negative aspect is that it's not obvious that the cheese can be ordered non-vegan or vegan.

Pros: Friendly staff, Metallic straws instead of paper straws

Cons: No direct distinction between vegan and vegetarian

Fantastic Food

This restaurant shares it's space with another one. When you walk in the door, the tables on the right are where you want to be.

The food was extremely delicious!
We wanted to visit another time but it was closed that day.

Great saitan!

Ordered the saitan asado and the saitan lomo salto. The asado was great, just a little soggy due to too much tomato, the lomo was delicious and this is coming from my bf who eats meat. He described it as healthy fast food loaded fries.

Pros: Lots of options, Fully vegan menu, Delicious saitan (not to chewy)

Cons: Music was quite load, not sensory friendly, Live music, take that as you will, Shares restaurant with another that serves meat

Lots of vegan options

Seitan empanadas were good (& huge!), tortilla was good, juice was good (though expensive), crepe was fantastic and I also enjoyed the vegan snickers.

Unfortunately, the quinoa empanada was dry and a little tasteless. I added some of the sauce that comes with the free bread and that was an improvement.

Best Vegan Option in San Pedro

We practically became VIP customers at this restaurant. We went for lunch and dinner practically every day. Good food, not too expensive and quite honest. It practically "saved" us during our time in Atacama. The service was good, although not excellent, but very pragmatic. The location is good, in downtown.

Praticamente nos tornamos clientes VIPs neste restaurante. Íamos no almoço e no jantar, praticamente todos os dias. Comida boa, não muito cara e bastante honesta. Praticamente nos “salvou” neste período em que tivemos no Atacama. Atendimento foi bom, embora não excelente, mas bem pragmático. A localização é boa, bem no centro da cidade.
