Nachos!!! - Edit
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.

Best Vegan Mexican - Edit
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 - Edit
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).

Sooo happy we went there - Edit
The dishes are delicious and huge, thw staff is almost too nice, it looks great and even the restroom is clean (:
Read moreThe 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 - Edit
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.

I’ve been to lots of vegan Mexican restaurants and this was definitely my favorite! Loved everything we tried, especially the crispy pescado and barbacoa tacos. And the grilled corn! The cocktails were also fantastic.

Really loved the food here. The menu is big and it was hard to choose! I ended up getting the mole tamal, which was fantastic, and the verde enchiladas which were very tasty. And the raspberry passion pie for dessert... yum!

Great vegan Mexican - Edit
Had dinner here on a Monday night and the place was almost full. Ordered the empanada, two different tacos, the enchiladas mole, and topped it all off with the churritos. Everything was great, portions were just right, but boy was it loud inside. Consider sitting outside if you're sensitive to noise.

Best burrito ever - Edit
I hesitated a long time before trying this place. But why??? I finally got there (late) and was welcomed (thanks). The food, the vibe, the food, I insist, I had the best burrito I have ever had, and a great experience all together.

Amazing food and service - Edit
I’ve been to Jajaja several times and the food has always been just amazing! I’ve had the chorizo burrito, the kale bowl and the taco tazon bowl, and I can’t get enough of the hot, sweet churros. The service is friendly and fast. I’ll be going back again for sure!

Variety of Mexican options - Edit
The nachos were great, liked the chorizo on it. Gorditas were nice.
Read moreI was excited to see a vegan quesadilla on the menu, but it was too bland. To be fair, I had this delivered and there was no liquid salsa accompanying the order, just guac.

Food is great, service not so much - Edit
Love the food here - they’re creative with their ingredients , using interesting whole foods and great textures . Taste wise everything here is pretty much 9/10 or 10/10. A small niggle would be that I’d like to see a few higher protein options, but that is what it is I guess and does not interfere with my enjoyment at all.
Read moreThe service however was extremely disinterested and unfriendly, and the music too loud to talk . A shame when the food was so good.
Pros: Interesting creative options , Everything delicious , Very quick
Cons: Not much in the way of high protein , Service not great, Expensive
