So wonderful!!! - Edit
Jajaja is so good!!! Just had lunch with my friend there. We got there around two (on a Thursday) and only a few of the other tables were taken. By the time we left around 3:30 it was a bit more crowded, but it was still a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious--I got the nachos which were super tasty. They were very flavorful and it was a large portion. My friend got the burrito (which is smothered in tri colored sauce) and loved it. I got the jalapeño pomegranate cocktail which was a great tequila drink with a bit of spice, and my friend got the matcha coconut cocktail which was so beautiful and very tasty. Our waitress was super kind and helpful and gave great suggestions. We were too full to get dessert, but I'm definitely coming back for the churros. So excited to finally have a vegan Mexican restaurant!!! The whole experience was awesome and I definitely recommend!

Good but spicy - Edit
This is a fully vegan restaurant, and I found the food delicious. I could definitely recommend the enchiladas suizas—they were very tasty, but also extremely spicy, even after asking for the hot sauce on the side. I feel that if they hadn’t been so spicy, I would have absolutely loved them. The churros come with a delicious white sauce, and the coconut cake is a great option if you’re a fan of coconut.
Read morePros: Good enchiladas
Cons: Really spicy

Yum!!! - Edit
The buffalos flower tacos were really enjoyable—flavorful with a nice spice and a hint of tanginess.
Read moreThe Grande Nachos were also delicious and generous in size. They were definitely satisfying and something I’d order again. Overall, a solid meal, and I’d be interested in trying more items from the menu next time.

i take ppl here all the time - Edit
the food is so dang good (esp the chorizo burrito and that watermelon mocktail), i love it sm—but most important they offer outdoor dining reservations year-round! in summer there are fans, in winter heaters, covered roof yet well-ventilated—thanks so much for the reliable, accessible vegan deliciousness

Best dessert ever - Edit
Such a friendly place with great food. Everything was delicious except I was confused by the taste of the mild salsa negra until I was told it was Vegennaise based. More of a salad dressing than a salsa. And we shared the coconut leche pie. Definitely try it if you have room for dessert.
Read morePros: Menu choices, Staffing, Dessert!

Just the best - Edit
It’s tough to find good vegan Mexican food but Jajaja has nailed it. Great range of Mexican/Latin American classics with a combination of alternative faux ‘meats’ and whole food substitutes that blow the traditional meat based dishes away.
Read moreThey have several locations around NYC but this one is literally next to the F line exit which makes it a perfect stop on those cold or rainy days. #Veganuary
Pros: Fully vegan, Clearly marked allergies, Great location
Cons: Expensive

Good food and atmosphere - Edit
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.

Amazing vegan Mexican brunch - Edit
This place has so many interesting options. Way more than your average rice and beans. Chilaquiles, burritos, nachos, tacos, etc. All with very unique fillings and toppings. The brunch drinks were also great.
