Plant based!

Fabulous Latin cuisine!! They had some very authentic stuff. They are now plant-based first and foremost, and then you can add or swap in eggs or cheese upon request. We lived in the Dominican Republic for a year and had some amazing dishes that were sooo perfectly authentic and legit. Wonderfully fun, cultural experience on top of amazing veganness.

Best

This is my favorite spot with vegan food in all of chattanooga. Quite a drive for us from downtown but it’s so good it’s worth it. I have yet to try something on their menu that I didn’t like. Fresh tamales, papusas, quesadillas, arepas.. all amazing. My partner always gets the daily special no matter what day it is and he loves it.

Pros: Good price , Great taste, Friendly, helpful staff

Cons: A bit of a drive from downtown

So good!

We went fully plant based just before Christmas 2021. Since we are fairly new we haven't been eating out. We decided to try this place for my husband's birthday. We all loved it, even my omnivore teenager! We liked it so much we went twice in on week. Will definitely be going back again!

Pros: Lots of Vegan options, Yummy brownies, Good portion sizes

Confusing

Happy to find this place on accident but will be hesitant to
return. Menu has items labeled as vegetarian or plant based but not vegan. Server did not seem to understand difference between vegan and vegetarian since he said everything was vegan but (there are eggs on the menu).

Cons: Menu does not clearly identify vegan items

Delicious

The food was delicious. You don't really see a lot of vegan places with this selection of food. I enjoyed everything I tried which included empanadas, mumasas, quesadilla and a few other things I can't recall the name of. I would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Pros: Good food, Different selection than most places, Very friendly and helpful

Cons: Limited seating area

Latin Cuisine in rural TN?! YES!!!

Randomly found this place during a road trip. Had a tasty variety of empanadas, mamey smoothie, and some mangu (mashed green plantains). Wish I lived nearby, would be a regular. I did ask if some items were vegan, and was told that everything is vegan (though it's not, since dairy cheese and eggs are served). So might want to verify ingredients on some items.

Pros: Rare find of vegan Latin American food , Well prepared and tasty, Good prices

Nice clean and friendly environment. Their food was delicious and hot, they also had fresh squeezed juices and cookies. They also said you can call ahead and they will gladly have your food ready for pickup. Absolutely delicious!

Cons: Mainly vegetarian, so just specify that you , Want it vegan

Love this place!

Love the daily changing chef’s menu and all of the staple Latin sides! A Latin cuisine dream 😍 As a Colombian living in the south it’s so hard to find Colombian pastries and food that reminds you of home.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Very affordable, portion sizes great for price, Clean/friendly environment
