AMAZING TEX MEX - Edit
Lovely pair that makes their own soya cheese! Had vegan nachos, tacos and enchiladas. We had been craving mexican and it was one of our best meals of the trip. Would give 5 stars if I could!

Charming spot - Edit
I got the vegan enchilada, avocado salad and the vegan cake with an iced coffee, all of which I wolfed down. Portion sizes are small so I would recommend getting a portion of rice with whatever main you get.

Cool vibe, lots of vegan options - Edit
Fairly unassuming place not far from the peace park. Good music and a cozy atmosphere. It specializes in Mexican food, with a number of vegetarian options that can be switched to vegan on request. I had a lentil curry here, which was quite a large portion with a good taste, but I wish I had gotten something Mexican instead; it looked a lot better.

i was the only guest there because i went at 5pm, they know what vegan is and made my tacos with vegan cheese😄it was really yummy and around 600¥ for the tacos is a fair price (they were pretty small and i was still hungry so I def order more next time)

Delicious but slow - Edit
The space is funky and cosy and the food we ordered (nachos & enchiladas) was delicious. But it took a very long time for our order to arrive, even though we were the only customers there.

The coolest place in Hiroshima - Edit
I would give five stars if HappyCow would let me because of the accommodation and choices for vegans!! The vibe is cool, like, dark and you can tell the proprietors adore good food and rock and roll. The food was super tasty!! We have been enjoying Japanese food on our trip, but a tex-mex break added welcome variety!!
Read morePros: SO many vegan choices, Understand the concept of veganism

Fun vibe, tiny food. - Edit
Otis is a really lovely restaurant. It has many labeled vegetarian options on its menu, most of which can be veganized with their in-house soy cheese. We had their bean nachos, quesadilla, bean enchiladas, and vegan fruit cake. Everything was absolutely delicious! However, as others have stated their portion sizes are very, very small. Definitely order two or more dishes per person if you’re hungry. However, don’t let the tiny food deter you from trying a truly delicious restaurant!
Read morePros: Clearly labeled vegetarian (veganizable) options., In-house soy cheese!, Vegan fruit cake.
Cons: Very small portion sizes., Few things vegan as-is.

Quirky little place - Edit
A lot of the menu can be made vegan or vegetarian and lady who runs the place completely understands and is helpful. They have signs on wall to ask for soy cheese and also advertising when vegan cake is on offer. Portion sizes are slightly small so order few bits if you’re hungry.
Read morePros: Will easily make menu item vegan , They’ve vegan cheese
Cons: Smaller portions

It’s okay - Edit
Lots of vegetarian options, kinda expensive for what it is. Please don’t order the nachos tho- literally just corn chips with some sliced cheese melted on top.. the soft tacos were alright with beans but yeah definitely nothing special.

Absolutely Gorgeous - Edit
We walked to Otis from our hotel after finding it on Happy Cow. Subsequent to a lovely still, we came across the quirky wee restaurant. Inside it was eclectic and cool. The owner and his wife have run the place since 1987 - it regularly hosts live gigs as well as being a “mex-tex” eatery.
Read moreIt was just lovely - they have added a house-made tofu cheese to the menu so that the numerous veggie options can be easily veganised.
We had the tortillas, the pizza, enchiladas and nachos. To top it all off we had the nose delicious vegan apple and walnut cake that was fresh, moist and covered in warm blueberries.
The dishes are small but this is Japan - not the mid-west! We were more than happy when we walked away again full but not grossly so. We were totally, absolutely satisfied.
Highly recommend!
Pros: Lots of veganisable options., Delicious food., Wonderful atmosphere!

Funky and awesome! - Edit
I read the previous reviews of Otis but this was not what I was expecting. When you walk in, it’s very hippy vibe/ dive bar vibe, with writing on the walls and vinyls playing. Food was great, even if the dishes were a bit worn. Vegan soy cheese made in house available and anything can be made vegan by substituting.

Slow and not very tasty - Edit
They have many vegan options, but unfortunately, they are not very tasty. The service is also quite slow, even though there were only 7 people there including us. If you have time to spare and you're somewhat hungry, you can give it a try, but if you're starving and short on time, go across the street.

Excellent vegan food! - Edit
Very cosy rustic restaurant, we visited on a Sunday evening and it was very quiet. Full of vinyls and cds and a very tiny stage for live music (none playing on our eve)
Read moreWe shared 3 vegan dishes: Enchillada, chilli and nachos all served with homemade soy cheese which was delicious! To finish up we took two slices of the vegan cake - apple and cinammon, again, incredibly tasty.
Pros: Clearly labelled vegeterian dishes., Otis told us what could be made vegan
Cons: None.

Cosy restaurant with good food - Edit
The restaurant felt really cosy and homely. I had enchiladas which were very tasty and the vegan cake which was delicious! There was a sign to say they serve homemade soy cheese (although we didn’t try this) Would definitely recommend anyone in the area to check this place out!

Okay food, amazing cake - Edit
Had the pizza, avocado salad, vegetarian chili and some more nachos between two of us. Small portions so order enough to share. The food was okay. Most of our dishes had the vegan soy cheese on which isn’t the worst I’ve had. The avocado salad is very yummy and flavorful. Had the vegan cake, not sure what was in it but it was heated and very yummy.
Read morePros: Lots of options, Vegan cake, Nice atmosphere

Good taste of you need a Mexican hit - Edit
The food tasted good, but not the biggest meal in the world (had enchiladas and avacado with nachos but still a bit hungry), with cola all came to 2000. English spoken, English menu and clearly vegetarian marked in the menu, then I think you can ask for vegan cheese etc. Easy to find and close to the park.
Read morePros: Good options, English well spoken, Good taste

Good food, reasonable price - Edit
They serve meat as well but have a lot of vegan options. The avocado salad is nachos and avocado and is a great starter. Would recommend getting two mains rather than one as they are small, but they are priced to reflect this. The enchiladas were good, slightly spicy. They make their own vegan cheese which tastes different but good. Pizza was also okay. The nachos are just chips and cheese so would be a good starter rather than main. I got a vegan orange and almond cake which was not nice at all. It was dry and has large chucks of orange peel in it.

Decent Mexican - Edit
We had the vegan enchilada, tacos and the avocado salad with chips. The food was decent which is why I have given it 3 stars, I can’t quite stretch to say it was very good (maybe something in between!). I also had the green smoothie which was lovely and apparently the beer is good!
