Upscale Mexican

Best Mexican I've had in a while! Would be a fantastic option to take non-vegan friends, the food is next level.

You Need This In Your Life

The tasting menu is incredible value, tantalising for your taste buds. Don’t miss going here. Margaritas are great too. Tacos were my favourite, corn on the cob deeeeeelicious. Cheeseburger spring rolls a necessary evil.

A consistent favourite.

I’ve simply never had a bad meal at Vandal (nor have I ever had a bad meal delivered from Vandal). I can’t fault this place, I absolutely love it and my non-vegan family and friends do too.

Great food

Great food, been there twice & I’ve had the banquet both times. Definitely recommend to try their selection of margaritas as well! Only negative is that you feel a tad rushed as they bring the dishes out really quickly.

Pros: Entirely vegan, Value for money, Nice drinks

Cons: They rush the dishes out a bit

LA/ Mexican fusion comes to town

Loved the idea of LA/ Mexican fusion. The set menu at $25 for seven dishes is great value.

Each dish on the set menu was delicious from the guac , to the spicy sweet corn to the croqueta . The highlights for me were the cheese burger spring rolls which resembled a mini chimmichanga .
Lots of taco options to choose from for the including Korean flavours for the final dish
Please don’t expect traditional Mexican, this is a fun fusion kinda place.
Be sure to check out the margaritas too.

Pros: Set menu is great value, Plenty of vegan options, Fun venu

If you were stranded on an island

And the only thing you could eat were the tacos from Vandal, you would be living your best life.

Pros: Massive, diverse menu of all-Mexican cuisine, Unique, inventive dishes , Take-away available, special price for 3-set taco

Unique flavours

Heading to Newtown for a vegan feed and this was where we ended up. The menu looked incredible and like everyone around us we went for the set menu. It was one amazing dish after the other, with delicious plant based takes on croquettes and tacos. With so much to choose in Newtown, I'd definitely recommend this one if you're having trouble deciding where to eat. Also has a seperate nut free menu for allergic people.

Set Menu

There were 6 of us and we all had the set menu. The food was absolutely delicious and all 6 courses were very different. Being a set menu, there wasn’t really that much food for each course and we were all still hungry afterwards. If you just want a smaller meal this option would be good, otherwise order a meal. The staff were super lovely and always making sure they were checkin in. The cocktails were expensive but dangerously delicious.

Pros: Lots of variety on the menu, Full gluten free menu, Modern layout, very aesthetic

Cons: Slightly on the more pricey side

Epic! Highly recommended

Went here on a date night for dinner and loved it! The set menu is incredibly good value. I wish I wasn’t so full as I wanted to try all of the tacos. The one I had (Korean inspired bulgogi) was so delicious! We added the cookies & milk for desert and it was decadent and delicious. To top it all off, the staff are incredibly friendly. Can’t wait to go back!

Pros: Fully plant based, Really affordable , Friendly staff

Good value set menu!

We had the $25pp set menu and whilst the dishes were small, there were so many that by the end were full! The churros were also delicious! Service was great and we had the classic margaritas which we liked a lot

Amazing Food, fitout, vibes, everything

We went there with high expectations and came away blown away by how good this place is. Tacos are so good but the set menu was next level good. We had 7 courses and every different taste was incredible - unique - tasty AF 😂

Highly recommend this place

Vandal and Gigi's up the road are the two best Vegan restaurants in Newtown, if not Sydney

Pros: Great Fitout, Great price, Great Staff

Cons: Gets real busy

Highly recommend the set menu!

I went here for a post isolation treat and treated myself to the set menu!
Such a great deal, value for money! You get to try a small plate of so many dishes!
Everything was so tasty & I can't wait to go again!
