Authentic Latin American inspired cuisine

Some of the best Latin American food I've had outside Central and South America. Lovely staff.
Generous portions. Was to full for dessert but they looked amazing.

Pros: Amazing flavours, Separate vegan and vegetarian menu, Selection of South American beers

Delicious Mexican & Spanish food!

They have a separate vegan menu. You can have Milkshakes, other drinks, quesadillas, burritos, paella, churros, etc. It's amazing & the staff is very friendly as well!

Delicious dirty vegan nachos

I ordered dirty vegan nachos with add on guacamole! It is delicious! I thought it would need vegan cheese but it doesn't. I'm going to feel great when I leave rather than bloated and over full! Margarita cocktail also recommended!

Pros: Vegan menu available , Delicious , Lovely staff and feel

Love the Paella

The Paella is the standout dish here. Just make sure to ring ahead so they time to make it. The burritos and nachos are also good but some extra cheese on them would be nice 👍

Pros: Vegan options, Vegan staff

Wholesome!

Great value and tasty food. Friendly staff. Half the staff are vegan. Separate vegan menu. Delicious vegan offerings. Nice chai. We were in Launceston 4 days and we ate here 2 of them!

Riquísimo

Latin American food of this quality is rare in Australia, so it was a fantastic surprise and a real treat to dine here. The owner, a Venezuelan, takes great pride and care in offering the best dishes of the Hispanic world, all represented on the separate vegan menu. Everything was delicious but a couple of standouts - the guacamole was the best I've ever tasted and the hot chocolate was divine.
Would give five stars if I could!
Edit: the restaurant employs two vegan chefs, one of whom is the owner's son, so you know it's properly vegan and they don't cut any corners.

Yum! Great find

Fantastic little place! It's setup like an Aussie takeaway shop, but serves Venezuelan food. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and helpful. They also sell Goya and other Latin American goods. No vegan cheese, but the food is delicious!

Pros: Good prices, Good food, Vegan options

Cons: Not 100% vegan, No vegan cheese
