Becoming a favorite! - Edit
Great vegan options, friendly staff, and reasonable prices.
Read moreI love the beans and rice bowl with added toppings. They make the best fried plantains so they're always a must. Sometimes there's a vegan berry crumble bar as a dessert option and it's quite tasty!
Staff is knowledgeable about vegan options so just ask if you're unsure about something.
Pros: Outdoor seating

Super tasty, wish there was more!! - Edit
I got the ginger noodle bowl to-go and I was so impressed that the to-go container was made of a compostable cardboard material since the bowl had a broth/sauce. The food was incredible. I have been on an Asian cuisine kick because it's so flavorful and filling. I loved the sauce and it was fun at the end when I finished the bulk of the food because I drank the broth like a soup. The tempeh was seasoned to perfection, but the sauce did make it kind of soggy, but delicious non the less. I loved the abundance of veggies, but there was a lot of celery. I like celery, but it was overwhelming towards the end. My only complaint about the bowl is that there were not enough noodles. About halfway through the bowl, I was out of noodles and was only eating the veggies, which is where the celery became overwhelming.

Call for COVID hours. Take out only is delicious - Edit
I called ahead and they helped me pick a vegan friendly dish of fried plantains that had black beans, tofu, carrots, red bell peppers, peas, onions and a delicious coconut curry sauce.

Amazing spot in Sylva!! - Edit
You can sub almost any meal for tempeh or tofu. I got the jerk “tofu” instead of chicken and it was amazing. You can also do a custom bowl with any topping!!

seasoning - Edit
Bean and rice bowl was just that. I got the tofu that was good on top but again no seasoning. Like no salt, no pepper. Had to cover my food in hot sauce.
Read moreNice environment though.

Yum! - Edit
Guadalupe offers several vegan and gluten free options on their menu, and seem to be willing to veganize other menu items. We sat outside with our pup and enjoyed the food and small town atmosphere.

Eccentric Small Town Restaurant - Edit
Guadalupe is a great place to eat; several dishes vegetarian, several are are veganizable (or straight up vegan) and there is often a vegan and vegetarian daily special. On some days, they have vegan desserts like a chocolate coconut pudding and sometimes they have their vegan horchata (not on a day I've been on there yet though!)
Read moreI've been there twice so far and do plan on going again.
The first time, I had the Blackened Plantain without the cheese and and with tofu; not the prettiest of dishes but so delicious!
The next time I went I had the Gado Gado salad with tofu and while I usually don't order salads, I was in the mood for something with peanuts and was pleasantly surprised with how good it was.
Another cool aspect is they use local ingredients and have an ingredient board telling you where the current local ingredient selection is from. The place looks somewhat like a 1950's dinner, with added murals, dinosaurs, and paper lanterns.
All and all, good food and good atmosphere.
Pros: generous portions, friendly staff, uses local ingredients
