i take ppl here all the time - Edit
the food is so dang good (esp the chorizo burrito and that watermelon mocktail), i love it sm—but most important they offer outdoor dining reservations year-round! in summer there are fans, in winter heaters, covered roof yet well-ventilated—thanks so much for the reliable, accessible vegan deliciousness

Best dessert ever - Edit
Such a friendly place with great food. Everything was delicious except I was confused by the taste of the mild salsa negra until I was told it was Vegennaise based. More of a salad dressing than a salsa. And we shared the coconut leche pie. Definitely try it if you have room for dessert.

The Best! - Edit
I usually order from here to my office, but the place itself is really great. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is lovely, and I can’t wait to bring my sisters when they visit. I really like this place!

Great Mexican food - Edit
We greatly enjoyed our dinner here. Food was lovely. The time we went, though, it was very crowded and noisy.

Just the best - Edit
It’s tough to find good vegan Mexican food but Jajaja has nailed it. Great range of Mexican/Latin American classics with a combination of alternative faux ‘meats’ and whole food substitutes that blow the traditional meat based dishes away.
Read moreThey have several locations around NYC but this one is literally next to the F line exit which makes it a perfect stop on those cold or rainy days. #Veganuary
Pros: Fully vegan, Clearly marked allergies, Great location
Cons: Expensive

Good food and atmosphere - Edit
The cheese dip with chips was delicious. The beet and butternut squash empanada was my favorite. The mole I didn’t love. The atmosphere is nice and service very attentive.

Amazing vegan Mexican brunch - Edit
This place has so many interesting options. Way more than your average rice and beans. Chilaquiles, burritos, nachos, tacos, etc. All with very unique fillings and toppings. The brunch drinks were also great.

Very yummy Mexican food. A bit pricey for small portions, especially on birria tacos, but even the non-vegan individuals in my party enjoyed them a lot!

Best NYC restaurant I’ve been to in a long time! - Edit
Wow, these guys are amazing! Who would have thought a beet and squash empanada with Swiss chard would be the highlight of a meal? Then the chorizo, the egg, the churros… all so, so good! Amazing!!

Lovely vibes and service - Edit
Lovely place and great service. The nachos were good but I wish I hadn’t ordered the mole enchiladas. The mole sauce didn’t have a nice flavour and the jackfruit was bland. My boyfriend’s burrito was nice so I think I was just unfortunate with what I ordered. Wish I could go back and try something else.

Tried the beet and pumpkin empanadas which were excellent. The huitlacoche tacos paled in comparison but were still good. Looking forward to trying more things here and definitely recommend it!
