Good breakfast bowl

The vegan breakfast bowl came loaded with a lot of the healthy rainbow food you want as a plant based meal. It came with a very generous serving of tofu and everything was seasoned perfectly. The service was excellent and the location could not be better; right on the beach. Definitely will go back when in Bucerias.

Vegan a la playa :)

Karen's is a solid option especially if you are the odd vegan out. Their menu is massive and thoughtfully does include a couple of options for us sane eaters. The vibe is nice as it's right on the water. The cuisine is not likely to blow your mind, but it's good! And I wasn't mad about the visit. So not mad that I plan to go back again soon!

Just ok

The vegan bowl is filled with good foods but in my
opinion extremely bland. I added hot sauce and cilantro for more flavor but beware the hot sauce, a small drop packs a big punch!

Pros: Great location on the beach, Vegan bowl is large and nutritious

Cons: Very bland

Update to my last post - back again and this time the vegan bowl was delicious, lots of good flavor. Maybe just an “off” day last time ai had it?

Must have vegan bowl

Karen’s place is a must visit if you love a vegan bowl. The flavour profile is amazing!! You can sit right on the beach under one of their many umbrellas or under the thatched tiki roof section.

They also have a wonderful burrito (just order without the cheese) and a portobello mushroom burger which are both excellent!

The staff there are wonderful…even had one of them help us with our SIM card.

We’ve already been there 3 times!!!

Pros: Beautiful setting, 3 excellent vegan options , Good value for the money

Toes in the Sand

Great option for a beachfront experience. Mocktails, drinks, happy hour menu with chips, guac, and salsa. Plus the vegan bowl option for dinner. It was simple and delicious.

Pros: Beach front, Clearly labeled options

Good!

They had a vegan bowl and other options that are vegan friendly, it was good keeping in mind it’s not many vegan options around, recommend here plus getting a place with a kitchen.

Nice view

This place is right on the beach and has a great view. They have 2 for 1 drinks during happy hour which is nice.

The food was tasty but nothing to rave about. They have 1-2 vegan options on the menu. I had the mexican bowl. It was tasty but the portion was pretty small.

Pros: Gorgeous setting , Cocktails are good

Cons: Small portions, Very few vegan options

Nice Place right on the Beach

I ordered the Vegan Bowl and coffee twice for breakfast. The Vegan bowl was good. The potato cubes could have been cooked a little more or fried as they were not too soft, I was there right at opening in the morning. Overall the bowl was very good and healthy. The portion size could have been a little better.

The first time I went I was not charged for the soy milk that I added to my coffee. The second time I went I was charged 10 pesos (50 cents) extra for the soy milk. I don't think those customers that asked for cream for their coffee were charged. So I felt a little vegan discrimination.

Overall, a good place right on the beach to have a vegan meal.

Pros: Vegan Options, Clean, Great location, good service

Cons: I was charged for ordering soy milk for my coffee.

Ok vegan option

This place is right on the beach which is nice but it is quite expensive. The vegan option they have is a "vegan bowl" which is more like a chili with tofu in it. Glad they have the option but it's not great..

Great food on the beach

Vegan pesto was phenomenal and vegan bowl with tofu I could eat for every meal! My favorite vegan friendly spot in Bucerias.
