Go-to voor vegan Mexicaans eten

Ben hier al een aantal keer geweest en kom zeker nog terug. Alles wat ik al heb geproefd was lekker.

Pros: Veel keuze, alles is vegan , Lekkere seitan, Veel vegan kaas alternatieven

Cons: Porties soms wat klein (bv churros), Sommige items eerder prijzig

Amazing food, great atmosphere

Great for couples, kids, or group dining.

We started with the loaded nachos, which are a MUST. For our main course, we got all of the tacos (favorites were the two tacos with seitan and the tempeh, but all were great). Very well-spiced and delicious sauces! We also got the enchiladas, which were good.
Kids enjoyed the kids menu nuggets, fried, and salad.
For dessert, we had their loaded churros as well as regular churros. Both were incredible! The banana cake was also good, but be prepared for a more artificial banana flavor vs banana purée.

The restaurant owner was very kind and positive. We will definitely be back!

Pros: Food was delicious, Ambiance is both eclectic and chic, Friendly staff

Cons: Wait time inconsistent- entrees were long wait

horrible

I had a horrible experience eating there. I had to grab a menu myself, then had to practically beg to order, had to wait for my food for 45 minutes and then paid 15€ for a tiny burrito, the stalest salad ever and 3!!!! nacho chips. If you tell me the burrito comes with nacho chips please for the love of god give me more than 3. The bathroom was really gross and makes me wonder what the kitchen looks like. On top of that, the sever was completely overwhelmed and seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown. It would be great if you hired more people instead of treating her so poorly.
Definitely won't eat here ever again.

Nice food but slow service

The food tasted good, but we had to wait very long before we could sit, even though we had made a reservation. When we finally could sit somewhere we had to wait long to get our food and we did not get it at the same time. It was also quite expensive for the amount and quality of the food.

Pros: 100% vegan, Nice location

Cons: Disappointing service, Expensive

Very tasty Mexican food. We had the chicken crispy burger, enchiladas and the tacos with different filling. Everything tasted delicious. We will definitely visit again when we are in Antwerp.

Pros: Staff was very kind and helpful , Nice place to sit outside next to a little park, Everything on the menu was vegan

Cons: Don’t say yes on extra’s before you know the price

Disappointing

We were disappointed. It took more than half an hour till our food came, while it wasn't really busy. Maybe half an hour isn't that long, but was annoying is that we didn't got our food at the same time. We were not the only ones. At the table next to us, one person has finished eating while the other two still hadn't gotten their food. 3 taco's would be a meal, but it was a small meal. The taco's tasted allright, but there wasn't much filling. I find the €5 for one taco a bit too much. The soup tasted good, but expensive for what you get.

Pros: Vegan

Cons: Expensive , Very slow service

Fantastic taco’s and atmosphere

This is such a nice place to visit! Mexican vibes & beers, with amazing food & friendly staff. They have home made seitan to choose as a filling for the taco, I recommend it 10/10.

Mexican vibes

All vegan restaurants with delicious homemade cheese from cashews (so not the junk!) 🌮🥑 THEY HAVE SEITAN 🤩 Also tofu, jackfruit & chorizo 😋

We had Enchiladas which were delicious 🤤 We specifically asked which item is the best/most Mexican worthy 😜 For desert; apple crumble and churros (sharing).


Loaded nacho’s are a MUST try!! Delicious 🤤
Second time, we waited for an hour before they brought our main course while we didn’t even had received our nachos yet brought the wrong dish. However, they offered a free drink to make up for it and quickly provided the right dish and nachos.

Pros: Protein packed 😍, Delicious 🤤 , Great service!

Okay food but overpriced

They had a good selection based on their menu and it was all vegan, which is great!

14.50 euros for a burrito is overpriced especially when it's mainly filled with rice and lettuce and the actual filling of "chicharron" or "chorizo" is barely in there. Most of the drinks on a menu were overpriced as well, in Antwerp you shouldn't have to spend 4.50 euros for a beer.

It wasn't busy while we visited but they still took a while to take and serve our orders, the couple next to us waited almost 45 minutes before the waiter gave them menus. I wouldn't call their service great.

It's placed in a good location by the market and near Antwerp Centraal station, so it was that going for it.

Pros: Decent menu selection, Good location

Amazing food

We had the loaded nachos, five tacos with different fillings and the burrito with jackfruit. All very tasty!
The weather was lovely so everybody sat outside at the colourful tables with nice music playing.

Great vegan Mexican food!

The owner is super friendly he brought out all of his favourite dishes for us to try and each one was delicious! I particularly enjoyed the tacos (they’re authentic & homemade) and the loaded nachos.

Pros: Homemade authentic tacos , Friendly owner

Nice mexican food, a bit overpriced

We had a jackfruit taco and seitan wrap with salad. All very nice, 15eur is just a bit steep for a burrito unless it is out of this world

Pros: Vegan mexican with fake cheese and meat

Cons: A bit pricey , Didn't want to give tap water

Good food, slow service

We sat down after walking through the Saturday market just next to it. The place is cute and colorful. The waiter was very nice, but they were heavily understaffed, so it took over an hour from we came there to the food arrived.

My girlfriend ordered three tacos and asked for which filling she should choose, to which the waiter said that we could choose three different fillings for only 50 cent more, something that the menu didn't say. So I dedinitely recommend doing that. The other dish we had was enchiladas. The presentation was ugly and it swam in tomato sauce, but it was quite tasty.

Nice latinx music when they put it on outside around 16.

Pros: Get three different taco fillings

Cons: Very slow service, Never has Hugo spritz, but it's still on the menu

Nice vegan mexican food

The food was very nice, but on the heavy side (although this was expected).

The experience overall was a bit disappointing, because they were very understaffed and the restaurant was quite full.

So we received a portion of fries that we hadn't ordered, we were told we could have tap water but it didn't come, and when we asked again we were then told that you can only order bottled water. The place was also a bit too loud to be able to talk comfortably (because of the music).

Pros: Great selection of vegan food

Cons: Understaffed, No tap water, Loud

Tasty but expensive

Had been highly recommended this place , and although it was pleasant, was not the best burrito I've ever had. Felt €24 for a burrito and a margarita quite expensive! But still great to have a fully vegan Mexican with a big menu. Had also been confused if it was fully vegan as it's called "vegan tacos & more" and then menu doesn't actually say it's all plant-based, but it is 🤗

Must visit!

I guess I should be looking for an appartment in Antwerpen because this taquiera is worth moving cities for😉Damn!! I ordered the small tacos, ended up tasting all four fillings (seitan with green salsa is my fav). Loaded nachos, yes! Tequila sunrise, yes yes! Am so coming back when my next city trip takes me to Antwerpen! Love love love, the food and the people
