Amazing Tofu! - Edit
The food was so tasty! I had the Buddha Bowl with extra tofu which was incredibly tasty. Not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best vegan food in Costa Rica. Good work and keep it vegan.

Vegan in Jaco - Edit
The place is super cute, I sat outside in the balcony area. The staff was beyond welcoming and helpful. I ordered a strawberry milkshake, Mac n cheese and their BBQ burger. Here is were things need improvement, the milkshake tasted like a very bland smoothie, their Mac was okay (if you love nooch this is for you) and the dish I was excited about which was the burger, disappointed me a bit, the flavor was there but the faux bbq was very salty, the sauce that came with it helped blend the flavors. Overall it was a nice experience and these are things that can be easily worked on.

Straight fire - Edit
Amazing vegan fare right in the heart of Jaco! We ordered the cauliflower wings which are gargantuan, the fried tofu sandwich, and the surf bowl. All were beyond delicious. Would not hesitate to return when in Jaco.

Best food we had in Costa Rica - Edit
After eating lots of rice and beans for 2 months (not complaining) we were excited to have some western food. The Mac and cheese was Our favorite- definitely order that. The cauliflower wi ga were breaded and fried to perfection- plus great ranch dipping sauce. We also had a salad bowl and sandwich. Everything was great, wish we could have tried more!

Servicio nefasto - Edit
No tenían la mitad de los platos que quería probar. Hice un pedido para llevar y me aseguraron que tardarían 25m, despues de una 1 hora me fuí (les advertí que tenía prisa) sin haber visto los platos y habiendo escuchado continuas quejas desde la cocina.

AMAZING!!! - Edit
Absolutely amazing! A must go to! We went 3 times during our visit. We took my husband’s parents who aren’t vegan and they also loved it. The owner/chef visited with us on each visit, she is an absolute sweet heart. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I can’t wait to come to Jaco again just to eat at Karma!

Only 100% Vegan in Jaco - Edit
The first & only 100% vegan spot in Jaco! With limited options in the Jaco/Hermosa area this place delivers. The owners are incredible & kind, and the food is delicious! Get the fried tofu sandwich & carbonara! Both were incredible, filling, and delicous. (Skip the mac and cheese!) The menu is diverse from traditional comfort foods, pasta dishes, sandwiches, to salads/bowls/etc. Full bar as well, try the vegan pina colada😄Ambience is great as well, comfortable inside and a small patio overlooking the main strip of Jaco. Fair prices & Worth the support of the vegan community in Jaco!
