Some options

Limited vegan options but they were clearly labelled on menu. Ended up with tofu quinoa burrito. The basic elements were fine but all of them were very muted taste wise. It desperately needed a sauce or salsa/something with some flavour to perk this up.

Mehhh

All 4 vegan tacos tasted very similar, so I didn’t find it very exciting. Wouldn’t probably go back there again as it wasn’t worth it.

Delicious!

Had dinner here on my first night in Singapore and it was great! They had a limited menu running but was able to order 3 different types of soft shell tacos and a portion of fries. Efficient service and tasty food!

Awesome vegan and vegetarian options

Awesome Mexican inspired cuisine with vegetarian and vegan selections clearly marked out in menu! The moment I stepped in, I was enthralled by the Mexican theme in their decor and ambience. Wonderful place to dine and chill out with non vegetarians and vegetarians. Food contains allium.

We tried their
✅Braised Tempeh Tacos (Vegan)
Tacos are one of their signatures. I tried the Braised Tempeh Tacos (Vegan) and I was in awe! The lemon & lime creme and hot sauce created a complex and fascinating flavour, while the braised tempeh bits added a nice "meaty" bite. Soft flour tacos, stuffed with Tempeh, pico de gallo, lemon & lime creme, hot sauce
✅'Overloaded' QUINOA & TOFU Burritos (Vegan)
Soft tortilla stuffed generously with Mexican rice, refried beans, salsa, guacamole, tofu then sealed with a taco shell and grilled to perfection. Served with nachos and guac!
✅'La Neta' Mexican Tempeh & Avocado Burger (Vegan)
Came with a huge chuck of char-grilled spiced tempeh patty, smashed avocado, pickled onions, medium salsa & organic greens. Served with sea-salt French fries and more pico de gallo
✅Braised tofu organic Quinoa Bowl (Vegetarian, omit egg to make it vegan)
Organic quinoa, avocado, sous-vide egg, pickled onions, micro radish cress, cucumbers, red & orange grape tomatoes, sweet lemon dressing. A very balanced dish in terms of taste and texture.
✅Fresh Churros
Housemade freshly fried churros, cinnamon sugar, dark chocolate sauce
✅Salted Caramel Polenta Waffles
Vanilla bean gelato, Salted caramel, banana, peanuts
Their churros and waffles were crispy and delicious. Satisfying end to our meal.

They also has an Impressive range of alcoholic drinks such as Margaritas, Micheladas, Cocktails, Craft Gin & Tonics, Tequila, On-Tap Beers, Spirits, Single Malts, Wines and Champagnes.

We tried
Muscle Mary (Margarita)
Mezcal Sour (Cocktail)
Blackberries & Apple Basil with The Botanist Gin
Elder Flower Lemonade (Housemade)

Vegan friendly

Had very well marked vegan options for many of their dishes. The braised tempeh was great with a some spice. The tofu was mild. They had a good assortment of craft beers as well. The wait staff was friendly. The only downside was the smokers at the outside tables. Will eat here again.

Awesome ambience with great variety of Vegan options

Delicious Vegan/Veg Mexican meal earlier @platypuscantinasg . They offer a handful of Vegan options and few Veg options. Do check with staff for recommendations if you have specific dietary requirements. Staff are very friendly and approachable. Restaurant has good ambience, spacious, serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Awesome place to hang out w friends/ date night🥰!

We have tried the below:

🌮Vegan Braised Tempeh Tacos – This is my favourite! Order this! Highly recommended!!! It’s little spicy and for tempeh lover like me, love this with the lime juice being squeezed on it. It’s made of soft flour tacos, stuffed with Tempeh, pico de gallo, lemon & lime creme, & hot sauce.

🍔MexicanVegan 'La Neta' Mexican Tempeh & Avocado Burger- Served with generous portion of fries and salsa sauce, this is a filling dish which you can go for! Char-grilled spiced tempeh patty, smashed avocado, pickled onions, medium salsa & organic greens. I like it that they believe in serving a real wholefood non-gmo, minimally processed pant-based burger, instead of those new-fangled meat substitutes. #plantbased #indeed

🌯 Vegan 'Overloaded' QUINOA & TOFU Burritos- Soft tortilla stuffed generously with Mexican rice, refried beans, salsa, guacamole, tofu then sealed with a taco shell and grilled to perfection. Served with nachos and guac! Filling and love the chipssss! Yummmmz.

🥗 Veg Braised tofu organic Quinoa Bowl (Can be veganised by excluding the egg) – Love the greens in this bowl. Ain’t this colourful! Like the tofu toppings and generous portion of quinoa too.

🍹 Drinks- We had housemade elder flower lemonade, craft gin & tonic, Muscle Mary (Margarita) & Mezcal Sour (Cocktail)

🍨 Veg Desserts- Salted Caramel Polenta Waffles and Fresh Churros with cinnamon sugar and dark choco sauce. Sweet tooth will like these.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Few veg options, Spacious and good ambience
