Huge, delicious selection

Huge selection to choose from with many burgers and sandwiches. I ordered the Oyster chipotle vegan chicken burger and it was exceptional. Also ordered the soup of the day which was ok. I would definitely check this place out if I’m the area

Update July 5th 2021:

Food and selection is still delicious. Although, service is criminally slow! Took 20 minutes to receive water. Fiancé’s food arrived 15 minutes before mine which resulted in me watching her eat. Knocking off two stars for horrible service.

Pros: All vegan

Great food and atmosphere!

We struggled to finish our meals -- the burger was huge! I actually had a moment of doubt when I bit into the chick'n burger because the texture of the oyster mushroom coated with a KFC-style batter was quite chicken-like. They did a great job with the burger and the patacones tacos were really creative too. Very friendly staff and a cool place to hang out and listen to good music or watch something on the screen in the back room.

Looking forward to returning to try more yummy things on their menu!

Amazing vegan restaurant

This place is great! 100% vegan, the atmosphere is nice and cozy, with beautiful decorations. They have so many options in the menu, I've had the pizza and it was quite tasty and filling. Will definitely come back to try other options! It is not a cheap place but worth the visit.

Great tacos, middling chick'n burgers

I came away with a mixed opinion of Huacamole after two very different meals.

The first meal we ordered delivery via Uber Eats to our hotel. Our Tacos de Sodita and Sandwich Tico arrived as if they had just come out of the restaurant kitchen - still warm and not at all soggy from the take-away containers. The Tacos de Sodita were particularly great, with fresh veggies, a crunchy shell, and crispy banana/chickpea falafel balls, while the Sandwich Tico was stuffed with veggies and flavorful mushrooms.

Our second meal was an in-person visit to the restaurant. The restaurant itself has a great vibe, with abundant neon lighting and colorful murals of food and Costa Rican animals adorning the walls. However, our food - the Oyster Chick'n Chipotle Burger and Huacamole Vegan Chick'n Burger - were fairly disappointing. The Oyster Burger, while massive, had little if any chipotle flavor. The fried mushrooms had an excellent crunch, but they included the stems, which were extremely chewy and resulted in pulling entire mushrooms out of the burger at a time. The Huacamole Chick'n Burger's soy patty was a bit mushy, but otherwise tasted quite good. The fries were the biggest disappointment - undercooked and soft, with an odd dipping sauce (tomato sauce?) - they went mostly uneaten.

So is Huacamole worth the visit? Certainly! Just steer clear of the chick'n burgers and fries and you're likely to have a great vegan meal.

Buena comida

Buen ambiente, atención y comida. Menu facil de leer. Probamos el sandwich tico y panini capresse. Muy buenos los dos. Personalmente me encantaron los camotes fritos.

Pros: Todo es vegano

Cons: Deberían agregar unos cojines a las sillas de las, Mesas, de verdad sin eso son incomodas. , La música un poco alta para mi gusto

Great food and friendly service

I visited with my family and the food was really tasty and really filling. We had the plantain burger, patty burger, yucca fries and pizza all were excellent. The young guy working there was really friendly and helpful, as the menu is in spanish so he translated it to english for us. The place was really welcoming and we will definitely be returning.

DELICIOUS

I had the meal deal with some Venezuelan tacos, salad, yucca chips and passion fruit juice. It was one of the most flavourful vegan meals i've ever had!

Haucayum!

Decided on the Pataburger with a salad and Yuca. The fried chickpea patty taste perfect with patacones as buns. Salad comes with a tasty dressing and yucca is lightly fried for a crunchy outside and soft inside. The customer service is great. I will definitely come here again 10/10 😋

Best Vegan Food Ever

I’ve been all over the world and back and this is a must experience vegan eatery. They have the best tacos I’ve ever tasted (ask for them how the owner likes them, with sautéed bell pepper and mushrooms). The coffee is delicious, deserts tasty, and atmosphere fun and rustic. I can’t say enough about this place. I am so satisfied after eating here.

Pros: delicious fresh food, reasonable prices , pedestrian friendly area to walk it off

Cons: stomachs have limits
