Very tasty Vegan Fajitas

My vegetarian family always likes to come to this restaurant. We come at least once a year.
The favourite is usually the Montezuma's Delight, with Frijoles.
This time, I tried the new Vegan chicken-less fajitas. I also asked for a side serving of Spanish Rice.
The flavour was outstanding!
It's a bit pricier, but lots of things are, these days.
Well worth it for our special occasion, though.
The staff were friendly, and the decor is bright and fun.
There's actually a lot of vegan food on the menu, or easily adapted by asking for vegan cheese/sour cream.

Great service, good options

I loved how many vegan options were on the menu - not too many less than meat versions of the same thing! Service outstanding and food was pretty tasty but wouldn’t say 10/10 - would maybe rate an 7/10 ☺️

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great customer service , Vegan cheese available

Cons: Expensive for what you get , Salad was weird - raw cauliflower and broccoli

Overwhelmingly disappointing

Very underwhelming food here. The vegan nachos was lifeless, uninspired and while there was plenty of cheese no effort had been made to heat or melt the cheese, thus contributing to a semi warm meal which was cold and gross by the end of it. Waited almost 25 minutes for the meal which is paid for upon ordering rather than after eating when one has had time to reflect on the meal. Mine is the first review in well over a year so I can only assume most locals already know it is not worth visiting. Not a lot of choice in the immediate area for vegans on a Sunday night. Get to your local supermarket and make your own epic nachos.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options, Staff nice enough but busy

Cons: Food is not good, don't bother.

Vegan options

I last went here around a year ago so hopefully somethings have changed, I got a really small serving of enchiladas, it was overpriced and the mock cheese could be improved. There are quite a few vegan options though and the decor of the place is really cute and does fab cocktails.

Easy going mexican with lots of options

Separate extensive vegan menu, a lot of choices and different kinds of Mexican dishes. Beers are also marked vegan which is great. The staff is always so friendly and helpful (last time I went they showed me the brands and products they were buying and how to cook them at home and where to buy them in Adelaide!) Also perfect if you want to go out with your non-vegan friends and family.

Nice Mexican

This place is regularly busy and always has prompt service. Good variety of vegan options and the food itself isn’t super heavy like some Mexican can be

Fun, colourful restaurant

This restaurant was very busy when we went on a Saturday evening. But they fitted us in we were served quickly.
They adapt their menu for vegans, which was great. My burrito came with vegan cheese and vegan sour cream. And it was HUGE. It actually lasted me for the next nights dinner too!
It was buzzy and fun.
