Vegan-friendly Mexican food - Edit
Most of their menu can be veganized by adding soy meat, mushrooms and vegan cheese. The main and side dishes are huge. We took our leftovers home.
Read morePros: Almost everything can be veganized, A lot of food, Easy to find, nice decoration & music
Cons: Price a little above average but worth it

Delicious burritos - Edit
The meals are super big and not too expensive since it is in itaewon (14.500 won for a big burrito meal). You could choose any meal with vegan soy steak and vegan cheese which is great! Only downside: the sour cream wasn't vegan but the burrito was very tasty anyway.
Read morePros: could make almost any dish vegan, big delicious meals , decently priced
Cons: sour cream is not vegan / couldn't be made vegan

Great vegan option, no vegan cheese - Edit
So excited that they were so knowledgeable on the vegan diet and they had lovely vegan steak. Sadly, though on the menu, she said that they don't have vegan cheese. Big portions, decently priced.

Disappointing - Edit
I went after hearing a lot of good about this place but, to be honest, I am disappointed. I ordered the quesadilla with mushrooms and vegan cheese. It was good as I ate it but nothing really special. It was very oily and I do try to eat healthily so the oil was off putting. The refried beans were very plain and I know I’ve made better at home. The meal felt overpriced. Friends had the vegan burrito and chilli nachos (meat) and they said the burrito was ok but the nachos hit the spot. None of us will be revisiting.
Read moreThe service was good but here’s the thing: I also ordered a Rumchada (horchata with rum) which I thought was made traditionally (with rice, water and spices) but now I suspect it had milk in it because I’m also lactose intolerant and I’m feeling the effects. Perhaps I’m wrong and it’s just the oil.. and yes, I should have asked before I ordered it just to be sure. But I made it clear I was vegan so if it had milk in it, the waitress should have said. Anyway, I’ve sent them a message asking. Either way it’s my own damn fault for not double checking.. I just wanted to give others a heads up.

Tasty food for vegetarians and vegans - Edit
This place serves meat but they have options for vegans and vegetarians (including vegan cheese and meat substitutes). Our food was all delicious. However, we went in with a very large group and both the service staff and the kitchen were overwhelmed. Our food was quite slow and there were some mix ups. Would recommend for smaller groups.

it was too expensive and a bit disappointing - Edit
I had the vegan burrito and I was kinda disappointed bcuz it didn't taste anyhow special and the burrito was big with lots of beans and I would've preferred more vegetables or something green. But my taste and view is different than others. So don't hesitate to try out. It was also expensive and it could be a bit cheaper. They made a mistake with my order and they didn't apologized much. And thinking that the burrito it self is 9k and with a bit of fries 14k. It's not worth it.

4 stars - Edit
This place is pretty good, I think it's definitely worth a visit if you're in Seoul as it's also super easy to find, just turn down the left street after you pass the big Olive Young on the left side of the street. I wish it came with more options however , as my fajitas weren't very filing but still pretty yum !

Tasty meal but slightly overpriced! - Edit
Had a vegan burrito plate with potatoes and the plate looked really bland when it arrived... the sauce and burrito we're really good but not as nice as the price would suggest.

lots of vegan options, tasteless - Edit
I was rather disappointed by the fajitas, considering the price (worth 10 bibimpaps). I can tell why the owner didn't remain vegan : he doesn't know how to replace cheese to make the food tasty. Everything was dry and tasteless, like a cliché if what people think a vegan meal is like. More tomato, chili, avocado or soy cream please !
Read morePros: lots of vegan options

Delicious and filling - Edit
I ordered the burrito meal (vegan). I got a large burrito stuffed with rice, beans, mushrooms, lettuce, etc. with side portions of rice, refried beans, nachos and home-made chipotle chilli sauce. Really delicious and filling!
Read moreThe place doesn't have much atmosphere - it's very clearly a fast food joint - but super yummy and healthy fast food, which is perfect if you just want to chow down!
Pros: Tasty, Fast, Great location
Cons: No atmosphere

It's alright - Edit
I get the veggie mushroom burrito with a side of guacamole and chips.
Read moreI think it's worth a try but I'm not a huge fan. The burrito is almost all mushrooms. Every time I go I ask for them to add extra rice and beans to the burrito. Never really happens though. To be honest, if I'm in the area and I'm craving a burrito I usually end up at taco bell instead. Sorry locally owned restaurant! I'm a bad person.
It tastes good for Seoul. It's definitely filling (should be for how expensive it is). I just feel like I make a better burrito at home. I'm snooty like that.
Pros: Restaurant knows what vegan is, English speaking staff, Margaritas
Cons: Expensive, Not super delicious, Guacamole is cold, what's up with that?

Good Mexican Restaurant - Edit
I have been here several times and have been very impressed with the vegetarian/vegan options which they have for pretty much everything(possibly everything). I thought maybe it was slightly more expensive than I would have liked. However, considering the food quality and that it is a Mexican restaurant in Korea, I think it's definitely worth it. I thought the food tasted pretty authentic too.

Vegan friendly - Edit
Owner is a former vegan and has recently changed the recipes for the guacamole, rice and beans so they are all vegan. They use a mushroom alternative to meat, no tofu or mock meats. Nearly all the items on the menu can be ordered vegan. Meals cost 8,000-10,000 but were very filling, and tasty if not a little too salty. They also have fresh made corn chips.
Read morePros: good value, rare mexican vegan, easy to find
Cons: little salty, light on the beans
