So good, we went twice in one week!

Lots of vegan options, very clear on the menu and in their own vegan section. We were really surprised by the jackfruit taco, as I'm not usually a jackfruit fan, but it was amazing. The churrros are also a must try.

Pros: Vegan (and gluten-free) churros!, Heaps of vegan options, Great mocktails (and cocktails)

Cons: We found the corn chips a bit too crunchy

Whole vegan section

Most the vegan offerings are nachos in various forms HOWEVER they were amazing. The spicy corn dip was a favorite, loaded nachos were plentiful and indeed loaded.

Pros: Fresh vibrant and flavourful, Very helpful staff

Cons: Wine sizes are tiny as it appears most are here, Bit small and cramped

Best Vegan options in Queenstown

My wife had the cauliflower popcorn, and honestly it was like THAT scene from When Harry met Sally. I’ve never seen her enjoy food so much! Top marks Margo’s. 👍

Underwhelming

The nachos were mid in my opinion but my partner liked them so maybe a matter of taste.

The taquitos were okay and the salas were good.

The churros were the worst I’ve ever had, unbelievably dry and scaly. And my spicy marg should’ve been much better.

Great to have vegan options that aren't an afterthought

Cute and quirky restaurant with a separate vegan menu. Great options that are flavourful and well thought out. Our waiter Paul was excellent and advised us on how much to order (we were going to order way too much 😂). The Queso Fundido, Taquitos and Artichoke taco were all outstanding.

Disappointing experience

I wish I could rate the food, but we got ignored and left without having an order taken for far too long, so left (after paying a ridiculous amount for one margarita). The venue was loud, and clearly set up for Instagram pics - style over substance. The tacos coming out to other tables looked pretty small for the price. I had been really looking forward to going here, so my experience was a big disappointment. Maybe try it if you’re more interested in taking photos, than being served.

Edit April 2024 - gave it another go and actually tried the food this time. We got shown to a table and had our order taken quickly. Most food came out fast but we were almost about to leave when the taco (just one for $15!) finally arrived. Food was too expensive for what you got.

Absolutely delicious

We visited tonight (April 2024), I understand they have recently changed their menu. The food was absolutely outstanding, this is the best Mexican food I have had in New Zealand- particularly for vegan offering.
They have a separate vegan menu which is well thought out, with incredible flavours - no need to substitute anything or feel as though you are missing out (because you definitely arent). Service was also excellent and food came fast - I would give five stars if I could.
Recommend the taquitos, artichoke taco, and the hippie nachos. 10/10 divine! They also have great hot sauces of varying spice levels.

Absolutely delicious!

Good selection of vegan food to choose from. They have an updated menu as of April 2024. We had the vegan fajitas which were divine! Also great options for non-vegans. Staff were very friendly and food came very quick.

Pretty good

A number of vegan options. We got the queso and chips which was good but wasn't overly impressed with the tacos. Lacking a little bit of flavour.

So freakin yum

It’s the best place we’ve eaten at in Queenstown. Actually one of the best place I’ve eaten at ever.

The food and the service is 10/10. We got the Vegan set menu which is “a bit of everything”. Delicious and “Value for money” is an understatement.

Even the design of the menu is good and it’s all colour coded for dietary requirements.

Can’t fault it

Super friendly staff, pointed the fully vegan section of the menu before even knowing we were vegan and altered one of the non vegan drinks to become vegan for me. Plates are designed to share so ends up being well priced. We got a taco, the nachos and a drink each and that was too much. The kai was well balanced and so tasty.

Amazing

Dedicated section of menu for vegan, drinks menu marked with vegan options as well.

Food was absolutely Devine best Mexican I’ve ever had, and the service from the staff next level.

Bookings are a must we tried to walk in one night and then struggled to get a booking for a couple of days

Pros: Dedicated section in menu, Food amazing

Cons: No vegan churros

Sadly no seperate vegan menu. Friendly staff explained each dish but music so loud we could'nt hear. Very interesting combinations of flavours (in a good way).

Pros: Good fresh interesting food, Very good service.. staff enthusiastic, Good athmosphere

Cons: Very loud (might be my age)

SO UNBELIEVABLY GOOD

We had the absolute best time here! There were lots of vegan options and we tried almost all of them! We had the tortilla chips with red and green dips which were very tasty, taquitos were delicious and possibly my favourite dish, artichoke tacos were yum, mushroom fajitas were sooooo good and the vegan cheese nachos were good but we were pretty full by then. The staff were all very friendly and we had a lovely evening!

Delicious!

Absolutely stuffed myself cos I wanted to try everything. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I shared a few dishes with my friend, my favourite was the crispy artichoke taco. The mushroom nachos were a bit more standard than the other dishes and a tad too salty for me but still really tasty. The dessert was also delicious.

The ambience is very loud without any soft furnishings to absorb the din. There was also a big eruption of noise as the music got really loud, the staff sang and banged instruments and pots for a customer's birthday. It was funny after we realized what was happening, I guess it's just something they do for fun but it was very intense. I imagine it would be very unpleasant for anyone with a sound sensitivity.

Overall I loved my experience there. My non-vegan friend was also really happy with all the vegan dishes. It is a popular spot so make sure to book a table, it took us a few tries to get a spot.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Knowledgeable friendly staff, Cosy atmosphere

Cons: Noisy, Requires booking ahead

Proper mexican fajita

Huuuge portions! Very vibey place with friendly staff. I had the vegan fajita which came out sizzling hot and hit the spot. Best to go here with company so can share the food and explore more of the options. I went early evening but got the impression it gets quite busy during peak hours so may wish to book in advance.

5 stars! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I really wish I could give this restaurant 5 stars!

They offer a very thought out seperate vegan menu which has a lovely selection of Mexican inspired dishes. They even have a fully labelled drinks menu!

The food was absolutely amazing! I was very impressed with the flavours and freshness of all the dishes we had. . . and each dish had a unique flare which made them stand out from regular Mexican dishes.

The vegans in our group had the smashed avocado guacamole, spiced kumara enchilada and the highlight of my night the bad hombre style fried mushroom fajitas which were absolutely mouth-watering! You should definitely try it! For dessert we shared a cashew cheesecake which was disappointing after such amazing mains.

The staff were the best I’ve seen in a very long time. Our server was not only friendly and genuine but was very knowledgeable of the menu items. He actually looked like he wanted to be there!

The restaurant was buzzing with people and had a lovely atmosphere.

Pros: Vegan menu - food / drinks , Fantastic, attentive, friendly staff , Delicious food

Cons: A little pricy - especially the drinks

Decent vegan options

Good vegan options. Enjoyed the banana blossom taco, but wasn't a massive fan of the enchiladas (basically like eating walnuts).

Pros: Vegan section on menu

Cons: Food is hit and miss
