San Marcos vegan restaurant - Edit
Extensive menu with lots of different combinations. Unfortunately they were missing a few when I went.
Read moreHappy to substitute different rice as I wasn’t feeling like a spicy one that day. Good to have vegan places in San Marco. There is a nice view as well!

Best tacos ever - Edit
First off, best tacos of my life. The flavors were amazing. And the sauces they bring to the table were tasty. Staff were friendly and the food came pretty quick (I saw previous comments about slow service.

Lots of choices and great comfort food - Edit
The food here is truly delicious, the menu is big and quite easy to navigate, basically you choose from tacos, burritos, sandwich etc, then choose your filling, some are cheaper than others (soy crumbles, beans etc) and some are more expensive (beyond meat crumbles etc). We liked that concept.
Read moreWe found the burrito to be the best, it's the biggest portion and so most reasonably priced for it's size and FILLED to the brim with veggies and "surprises", you have to eat with knife and fork it's so filled haha. But the tacos are delish too.
Only downside is that service is slower than you'd expect and the food takes a long time to arrive. Even when we went off peak and were the only ones there (when we arrived) the food still took about 45 minutes to come.
Still, I'm giving 5 stars as it's the best vegan place in San Marcos in terms of ✅cleanliness (they don't seem to have a fly problem like the rest of the places here on the high street, and they aren't next to an open sewer(!)), ✅views, ✅taste and ✅price. We came here every day!
Pros: Tasty food, Good views, Reasonable prices for tourist town
Cons: Slower service

A lot of choices, good food (except for cheese fries) - Edit
Loads of comfort food choices and good vibe, friendly staff. Didn't care for the "cheese" fries, the cheese sauce didn't have a lot of taste. The fries themselves and the burger were nice though

Really good tacos! - Edit
Nice, friendly people. So many different types of plant “protein” (mushrooms, seitan, tempeh, jackfruit, beyond, etc). Also, they give you an entire basket of sauces and toppings. Will be back! Cash or Venmo/paypal. #Veganuary

Really really good - Edit
The tacos here were better than the majority we tried in Mexico. I had a burrito which was also excellent, so much choice of fillings you could eat here for months without getting the same thing twice.

Amazing view - Edit
The setting here is great with an amazing rooftop view. The food left a little to be desired though.
Read moreFor example, the nachos were very greasy but still a bit bland.
Another thing of note: they are cash-only.

Nos encantó este sitio, con un ambiente muy especial y una cocina muy cuidada y hecha al momento. Todo lo que probamos nos gustó mucho, e incluso nos llevamos una burger arbacoa de lentejas para comer más tarde que también estaba deliciosa. Absolutamente recomendable

Great vegan food in San Marcos - Edit
We came here for lunch, enjoying the patio on a rainy day. We had a torta and a bbq seitan burger, plus Cajun fries and a chocolate peanut butter bar for dessert. All of the food was delicious and the service was attentive.

Makes you want to cry of happiness 💛 - Edit
PLEASE go there!💗One of the best vegan food I had in my whole life.DELICIOUS! PLEASE go there!💗One of the best food I had in my whole life! I came here one time, and the next day I was still dreaming about it so I came back... and then I came back 2 hours later hahaha. I ate there 5 times already and I will come back everytime that I need to eat out in Atitlan. The option of (2) tacos is cheap if you are on a budget. (Cheapest option I found in San Marcos) I only tried tacos so far but I am waiting for my first burrito as i'm writing this and I don't even need to taste it to say that it's gonna be one of the best burrito I had in my life as well. (Heard a girl yesterday saying that she just had the best buritto ever.) It's the kind of food that makes you cry of happiness when you eat it. 💛🌿¡DELICIOSO! ¡POR FAVOR ve allí! 💗¡Una de las mejores comidas que he probado en toda mi vida! Vine aquí una vez, y al día siguiente todavía estaba soñando con eso así que regresé... y luego regresé 2 horas después jajaja. Ya comí allí 5 veces y volveré cada vez que necesite comer fuera en Atitlán. La opción de (2) tacos es económica si tienes un presupuesto limitado. (La opción más barata que encontré en San Marcos) Hasta ahora solo probé tacos, pero estoy esperando mi primer burrito mientras escribo esto y ni siquiera necesito probarlo para decir que será uno de los mejores burritos. Yo también lo tuve en mi vida. (Ayer escuché a una chica decir que acababa de comer el mejor buritto de todos los tiempos). Es el tipo de comida que te hace llorar de felicidad cuando la comes. 💛🌿

Mucha variedad - Edit
Nos costó unos minutitos comprender la carta, pero probamos un poco de todo gracias a la gran cantidad de opciones para elegir. Pedimos tacos (4 tipos) y estaban muy ricos, mi favorito fue el con tempeh. Pero lo que más destacamos fue el burrito ranchero con jaca, si van pidan eso y no se arrepentirán.

So many options! - Edit
I loved zen Eats. They have a bunch of choices and then choices with choices. If you want tacos you can choose from at least 12 fillings. I ate there a few times, enjoyed everything except the cheesy fries (there was too much sauce so they were swimming and soggy). Prices are good, the view from the terrace is good, great fully vegan spot.
