Looks like they have a ton of locations around the city which is a total plus! The food was amazing and I wish we had time to come back.

Can't wait to go back

Tried the beet and pumpkin empanadas which were excellent. The huitlacoche tacos paled in comparison but were still good. Looking forward to trying more things here and definitely recommend it!

Mmmm

Both non-vegans and vegans in my group agreed this was excellent food. It’s not the best Mexican food I’ve ever had but definitely one I’d have anytime.

Cons: Can get very busy with slow service

Tasty Mexican food

This restaurant is so cute! Options to sit inside and outside with great ambiance. The menu had many interesting options so it was hard to choose. I ordered the Brunch Tacos and it was probably not the best choice for me personally since it was spicy and very messy to eat. But it was quite tasty and flavorful with an interesting combination of many different elements. The portion was small, only two tacos, so I still had plenty of room for dessert. We ordered two pies to share: Choco Picante, which was good but not sweet enough for my taste, and Raspberry Passion, which was absolutely delicious! By far my favorite part of the meal. Fruity and refreshing, loved it! I would come back to try other dishes since I wasn't crazy about the one I ordered. But it was a great experience anyway. It is not a cheap restaurant but the prices are fair for what you get.

Good food and atmosphere

The cheese dip with chips was delicious. The beet and butternut squash empanada was my favorite. The mole I didn’t love. The atmosphere is nice and service very attentive.

Fantastic!

We had a fantastic Mexican #vegan meal. Best Mexican vegan restaurant that I have been in. And they have 3 locations in NYC. One inside of Whole Foods. @jajajamexicana We went to the one on east Broadway. We had tamales. Tacos. Gorditas. Elotes con queso. Churros. Horchata. Micheladas. Definitely recommended

Pros: 100% vegan, Big menu, Delicious

Cons: No parking? But is NYC 🤷🏽‍♂️

Soooo good!

Probably my favourite place in New York City now that Candle 79 is closed. We ate a LOT when we were here, and all of it was good. I only managed to get a (blurry) photo of the churros, so I guess the cocktails were good, too!!

Pros: Food was tasty, Churros, Cocktails

Cons: Very long wait , Busy

Nachos!!!

We had so much fun sitting on the outdoor patio drinking margaritas and eating the fabulous nachos. We also split an empanada which had very flaky crust that I haven’t seen in the vegan world often. They know what they are doing with texture. The cheese and sauce combination in the nachos really put them over the edge. The staff was helpful and friendly, answering all our ingredient questions and telling us about the restaurant. Fun and easy.

Pros: Great flavors , Filling , People watching

Best Vegan Mexican

This has to be one of the best restaurants I've been to. Amazing food, and all of it is vegan. Their vegan queso is particularly good. Tacos, quesadillas, and enchiladas were astounding!

Very yummy

I mostly stuck to the tacos and they were all pretty good. The churros were good as well. Omni friends were happy with the food as well (but they gave it 4/5).

Excellent food but not a place to talk with friends

Great food at this vegan-plant-based restaurant but our friends and us could not understand each other under this level of music.

Pros: Food was great, Service was fast, Place looks great

Cons: Music was soooo loud, We were not able to ear the waitress ofr friends , Asked 4 times to reduce the music level: no result

Sooo happy we went there

The dishes are delicious and huge, thw staff is almost too nice, it looks great and even the restroom is clean (:

The nachos starter is huge, the quesadilla was delicious, the burrito looked amazing but wasn't really like eating a buritto - it was covered in sauce so we had to eat it with a fork which was weird. The ginger & grapefruit drink was tasty, if you like those things.

Pros: Great food, great variety, Patient and kind staff, Clean and nice design

Cons: Small tables

Not worth the trip for me

We ordered some non alcoholic drinks and they where undrinkable. I wasn't a fan of the food either the nachos where okay. The staff was very kind tho I just don't think this was it for me however everyone around me seemed to like what they ordered maybe its a hit and miss.

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Cons: Not the best food
