Amazing experience

The food alternatives are completely freshed and cooked on spot. I really loved them and the customer services is magnificent.

The mango juice is one of its kind!

1000% recommended !!!

Wouldn't try again

I came here because of the glowing reviews. It was great to have a vegan option to try, and I really appreciated it, but I wouldn't eat here again. Maybe I wouldn't be a fan of any tamal, I'm not sure. The dough was just kind of bland and mock meat is not my jam. Probably goes without saying, but it's not nutritious food, and it's in a busy mall food court. The juice was nice and the lady working the counter was indeed lovely.

yummy tamales, sweet owner

I had a really good vegan tamal here. The owner was super friendly, too! Be careful though, there are labeled "vegan" cookies that contain honey in the end! 🫣 Also I didn't like the plastic cuttlery.

Pros: good vegan options, tamales!, sweet owner, good location, Metro and Botanical Garden

Cons: plastic cuttlery, honey in supposedly vegan cookies

Awesome Tamales!!!

Dude! Yes! So I came into this area for the botanical gardens and planetarium and I opened up happy cow to find this gem. So delicious and so exciting to have this option in the mall. I would highly recommend. The tamal I got was the paisa and it was very filling. I almost ordered more food but if you’re looking for something filling and yummy start with this.

Pros: Flavor , Price , That the option existed!

Great local food

This place is located on the second floor of the shopping mall. Nice place to grab lunch after visiting the botanical garden.

Delicioso

Very good. I love tamales and it is so rare to find a veggie version. We ordered the first two menu options. Top one was a classic tamale with veggies and some sort of brown fake meet that was good. Second one down on menu was a rice one. Not really a tamale as it didn’t have masa. It had a chikn made of gluten. I really liked the first one. Both were pretty oily but that comes with tamales. The mora juice was really good. Tasted of a pina colada for some reason. Got full off just one (15.000) tamale.

Pros: Classic tamale taste, Great salsa, Helpful service

Cons: Guacamole isn’t vegan

Comida típica vegetariana/vegana

Decidimos probar la cazuela de frijoles que traía frijol verde, aguacate, imitación de chicharrón, arroz, plátano maduro y papas fosforito. La porción es abundante y el contraste de sabores es muy delicioso. La atención fue muy rápida, es menos de 10 minutos ya nos habían entregado el pedido. De tomar pedimos jugo de maracuyá, que no sé qué tenía en particular pero estaba muy rico.

Días después regresé a probar la hamburguesa vegetariana y me voló la cabeza, he probado muchas hamburguesas vegetarianas/veganas y esta ha sido de las mejores, no estaba para nada seca y tenía mucho sabor. Las papas a la francesa también estaban muy ricas y crujientes.

2 kinds of Tamales

They offer tamales from 2 different regions: one made of corn masa and the other of rice. We’ve tried corn tamales in Colombia before, so we opted for the rice one. It was delicious and a nice portion. I absolutely loved the sauces and they had no problem giving us some more. The guanábana juice was also delicious and if it’s not sweet enough for you, just ask them to add a little panela 🥰😌💚

Cheap and Disappointing

Unfortunately they did not have the vegan lasagna when I was there, so I had the rice dish instead. It was cheap but not quite enough food. I also had a drink, which was somewhat disappointing. It also took ages to make and was done when I already had gotten my food.

Delicious and cheap!

If you’re near the Botanic Gardens and looking for a feed, this place has got you. We both got the cazuela de frijoles (Colombian bean dish), and were super surprised! The serving size was enormous, at only 20K COP. The owner is very nice too.

Very tasty tamales - 100 % recommendable

It was my first time eating tamales, I have really liked them. It was delicious and also the price of 14k $ was really reasonable. I had a fresh maracuya juice with it😉the only negative point is that they use plastic cutlery. That could be improved.

Pros: Good service, Nice people , Good price

Cons: Plastic fork and spoon

Almuerzo Típico Pero Vegetariano

La sazón de la cazuela estaba muy sabroso. Si van al parque explora este es el lugar para almorzar. Mi novio ni siquiera es vegetariano y le encantó

Pros: La sazón , La atención

Cons: No aparecen en google

Un lugar rico con sabor tradicional

La atención es de primera, los platos son muy ricos y son de comidas tradicionales colombianas pero vegetarianas, lo cual no es tan fácil de encontrar. El precio es económico. Además la ubicación es súper. Todo me encantó

Something not quite right

Had the bean stew with toppings and rice. The rice tasted fermented a little and the beans too salty. The price was high for what it was. Would not return.
