Love this cute little cafe

A local vegan treasure with so many great options. The vibe is cool and the clientele are all locals. Service is a bit slow, though friendly waiter, but other than that a huge variety of food on the menu including cakes and frozen/chilled foods to go. A great vegan find. I had the chipotle oyster burger with salad which was a Cole slaw and a very large cappuccino with my pistachio cashew cheesecake.. yummy all around

Falafel to die for

Staying in a hostel with not much vegan options I found these guys which deliver, falafel wrap was super tasty and camotes o yucas. Not cheap but great options for vegan

My favorite restaurant in San José!

I love the Casado Vegano - it's the perfect meal. If you're feeling more indulgent, I'd recommend the Crunchy Wrap or the Nachos. Both are incredible! Here's a pic of my nachos. (I took a little bite before taking the pic. I couldn't help myself!) There are TONS of toppings, and the chips are crispy and fresh. I usually order to-go, and everything has always been well packaged in eco-friendly containers. Oh, and the Mac & Cheese is great, too! Definitely give this place a try!

I enjoyed a hearty and very flavorful lunch. It was the special of the day; sancocho with lots of veggies and chunks of seitan, a nice salad and rice.

Pros: Hearty portions, Tasty food, Friendly service

Happy Vegan

Grateful for a 100% vegan restaurant/menu! Friendly staff, Spanish & English language, variety, juice & smoothies. I got the Chik'N sandwich with sweet potato fries and a Tropical drink, partner got their version of Crunchwrap Supreme and a Ginger drink. So fresh, so satisfying and fun, not greasy at all.

Pros: Easy to read menu, Delicious freshly made drinks , Bakery and To-go cases

really good

There is a big variety of meals to choose from. You can get bowls, burgers, and pizzas (just to name a few). The waitress was very nice and could speak good English which made the communication easier.
The burger I chose was delicious, the beverage of the day (pineapple & ginger) was refreshing. There isn't really anything to complain about. The meals are not cheap but appropriate for what you get. The restaurant accepts credit and debit cards. You will also get free wifi if you ask for it.

If you are in San José and you are looking for a vegan restaurant, choose Huacamole. It will probably be worth it.

Very disappointing

I was so excited to try this place, not sure if we got unlucky but the food was not good. Got the no fish tacos and oyster mushroom burger. The fried mushrooms in both were really overdone, they tasted burnt and there was zero mushroom flavour. Expected much higher standard for the price. The only saving grace was the yuca fries.

Delicious vegan food can also be junk food

Big portions of tasty food. A must for ethical (not dieting) vegans
The oysters pops are phenomenal, and the burgers are juicy and big. Try the yuca as a side for a local flair.

Pros: Oyster pops!!!

Lovely!

I loved this place!
Just tried the no fish tacos, but was amazing! Yuca fries are not many, but better, because tacos are huge! The no fish is incredibly tasty and very crispy!
Staff is very nice!

Great place, amazing burger

Had the most amazing burger here. The Oyster Chipotle burger was recommended by the server and was delicious. None of this fake vegan meat stuff, just layers of amazing breaded oyster mushrooms. The orea shake was also great. Wish I had more time in San José to try out their other options.

Pros: Oyster Chipotle burger is amazing, Friendly service, Nice neighborhood and nice restaurant

Expensive but good burgers

I had the pineapple express which had beyond, a thick pineapple slice and vegan deli slices. Good fries and vegan mayo. My parter had the oyster mushroom burger which I don't think was as good but very tasty.

Amazing food

I can't fault a single thing from Huacamole, I got the classic hotdog and my partner got the Choripan hotdog and they were both really well made and a great blend of flavours. The next day we got the crispy wrap with Mac n cheese and they were so good and so much food I had half for lunch and the rest for dinner. The cinnamon rolls are delicious too. Wouldn't miss this spot if you're in San José

Great burgers, a little pricey

We both had the 'chicken' burger. It was pretty good although a little disappointed by the cheese - stingy and a bit tasteless. The wedges and dip were nice. Overall a decent meal and I know its a nicer area but felt it didn't really justify the price tag.

We arrived in time for opening as the business had informed us and yet when we arrived we were told that they didn't open until 12.30, not really sure what happened there! They let us browse the menu inside anyway. Not too much of a problem - just something to be aware of if in a rush.

Excellent Vegan Spit

Being a visitor to San Jose, finding this place was amazing. It's tucked away but well worth a visit! The Panko style Oyster Mushrooms were amazing. If you're vegan and not eating here you're missing out, if you're not vegan then you're still missing out it's that good. The staff were so lovely too, I was so tired and they really made me feel welcome.

Pros: Good sized menu with lots of choice , Vegan desserts!!, Excellent staff and decor too
