Ecónomico - Edit
Una opción muy económica cerca de la Universidad del Rosario, el menú trae sopa, plato fuerte, jugo y postre. Solo la comida no estaba tan caliente y el jugo estaba muy desabrido, el postre también era muy pequeño pero esta bien por el precio.

Indian & Peruvian Food - Edit
Very cheap option in the historic central area. The place is huge and although it says they open in the morning, it seems like they only fully open to cater for people around lunch time. Their menu is pretty much heavy on lunch options and not very breakfast suited. We got in around 9am and they were not fully open as a restraint from my understanding. They were able to offer us/make us tamales, we were happy enough since we were doing a tour at 10am and the tamales kept us full for the tour. Very heavy “breakfast” ngl, but we were happy with it😄Great option!

Menú del día of your choice - Edit
They serve a menú del día (soup, main, dessert, drink) for 16.000 pesos and you choose your main from 5 or so options. You also get the choice of juice or tea for drink. Food was out quick and tasty, service was efficient and friendly. We both left feeling very full!

Nice inexpensive place to eat with the locals - Edit
Went on to Happy Cow and this was the closest place to where we were sightseeing. Walked in and asked for the menu and they pointed to 4 items which were the "meals of the day". We got a soup, meal, and drink for about $3.50USD per person. Everything was tasty, and the Patacon was really good. This place has a Southeast asian vibe and also offers yoga classes and has a small vegan food booth in the front.

Must visit: cheap, local & delicious - Edit
I really don't understand why they have such bad reviews, this was just delicious! We stumbled upon it by accident. It's very cheap and the main dish comes with a drink and a starter. Even though the name says 'vegetarian' everything was vegan on the menu. It's not the coziest restaurant, but the food is healthy and delicious and you eat with locals. They have a small shop and I bought some wheat gluten for homemade seitan.

Great staff - Edit
Their staff is super friendly - they were closing up the shop for the day but still squeezed me in for a delicious meal. The waiter was very considerate and asked if I am vegan and offered options to replace certain items for dishes that had cheese. If you are hungry, this place will stuff your face for under 5 dollars.

Good choices and efficient - Edit
Good value for money for lunch. You pick from a range of mains and get a small soup, small salad from a self-service salad bar, a juice, and a small plate of fruit. The mains we had were good but not amazing and the juice wasn't to our taste, although I think it was just that the fruit wasn't our favourite and not a problem with the juice (people who arrived after us got a different juice). You'll probably still be full at dinner time.

Food is good, but not the best. It is a good option when you're around. Not pet-friendly which is pretty inconvient for some of us. It has a small market with some great options.

Hostile attitude - Edit
I made a special effort to go there, managed to get past the cult vibe and asked the man at the counter where I should sit. His response: "You want to eat?" Odd question in a restaurant. So I repeated that I was there alone for lunch and wanted to know where to sit. He pointed out several already prepared dishes on the counter and said, "option 1 option 2, option 3." I asked if he could describe what they were, but he just repeated the numbers. I don't know if they were to be served cold or microwaved, but this plus his hostile attitude was enough and I left. I had addressed him in Spanish, which I know is accented, but totally understandable. He insisted in responding in English baby-talk. I tried to give this restaurant 1 star, but this site will not allow that for vegetarian restaurants.
Read morePros: Not far from better options

pretty good - Edit
They have a choice of 5 set lunches, 4 of which were vegan when we were there. the food was good but not exceptional although with the soy cheese and fried stuff more on the heavy side (which can be lovely, depending on what you look for).The locality is spacious but rather dark and not very atmospheric. Because it opens right to the street, the car exhaust is always present.
Read morePros: cheap, lots of vegan options, comfort food
Cons: atmosphere is not very nice, heavy food

not great - Edit
Too heavy, not for the vegetarian that likes light fresh foods and vegetables. If want dishes full of rice pasta etc...then you may like it.

Good vegan tamal - Edit
[Went there on July 23rd, 2015, and they told me that they were open everyday. Although, they were closed earlier than what they told me so I can't be sure.]
Read moreI went there for the breakfast, and I chose the tamal (COP 6.500) which was filling and good (the tamal was filled with potatoes, carrots, chickpeas, green peas, TSP and seitan). The juice was at 2.400.
They told me the menu was at 8.800, which seems okay, but I didn't try it.

Cheap and decent food - Edit
Plenty of vegan options and all the meals are really cheap! I had a meal with fried plantain which was decent but nothing too special. My two meat eating Colombian friends had the same but didn't really like it. It came with a very nice vegetable soup though. My vegan friend ordered a burger and thought it was good but not great. But anyway for that price (7000 pesos) I won't complain too much!

Definitely worth trying! - Edit
We really liked the set menu, it was a decent value, quite a bit of food and a variety. The Hare Krishna atmosphere is nice and they have other events and cooking classes too. They also have lasagna and sandwiches, and natural foods to go like soy milk powder and almonds and honey.
Read morePros: good value, central location, nice people
