Pick the burrito!

I went there two times and ordered the burrito and a burger. The burger was okay but slightly disappointing but the burrito was perfect! So good it compensates the disappointment of the burger and makes me leave a 5-stars review.

I tried to go back later but the place was closed despite being shown as open on google and their social media.

Pros: Delicious burrito, Good value for price

Cons: Disappointing burger, Random/confusing opening hours?

Lacklustre flavours

A group of 3 of us came for dinner here and ordered a range of dishes. I thought the ceviche was really delicious, which came with tortilla chips and we also got guacamole. The ceviche didn't actually taste anything like ceviche and more like a fancy salsa, but I still really liked it. Then the hotdog with creole potatoes were kind of flavourless. The vegan pizza, while covered in various toppings, was shockingly bland. We did finish everything and in a pinch if nothing else was available I would return, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

Delicious food

Food was so good and portions were unexpectedly massive. Got the quesadilla combo split between 2 people as a snack and it was a ton of food. The refried beans as a side weren't great, kinda funky, but everything else was super yummy

Loved it here

Very cute and small place. I had their Lasagne and it definitely looked and tasted different than a lasagne but it was so so delicious and such a special flavor experience. Can 100% recommend it!

Muy rico

La comida fue muy rica, fresca y mucha.
Lamentablemente el té helado no fue frío y no había hielo tampoco.

Me parece que toda la comida es vegana, eso me gustó mucho.

Pros: Mucha comida vegana

Cons: Bebidas no eran frías

Missing some fine tuning and love

The ingredients of the burrito were quite nice altogether, but the vegan cheese was not melted at all. Felt like it was prepared too quickly. The burger was not great, the patty was really dry, bites without sauce where dry and tasteless. The potatoes were good. The portions were quite big and the staff was friendly.

Deliciosa comida vegana y variada.

Es un lugar muy agradable para compartir y probar deliciosas comidas, hay opciones vegetarianas, pero noté más opciones veganas en el menú y eso es increíble. A parte, la atención es muy buena y ofrecen un menú muy variado. El menú del día es muy nutritivo y delicioso, con gran sabor y cada día es algo diferente.

Pros: Muchas opciones veganas , buena atención , variedad y economía.

Cons: No siempre las opciones en el menú están , el menú es con código QR y eso no es accesible.

Underwhelming menú del día

2.5 stars if HappyCow would let me.

While reasonably cheap at COL$16.900, the menú del día isn’t much of a bargain here. You’ll get a tiny portion of pretty decent soup, a juice, and then a quite small boring main plate consisting of white rice, an undressed salad of little bits of shredded lettuce, and then two absolutely delicious fried lentil bites that are just good enough to make you wish you’d ordered those off the menu instead.

I ordered the chocolate cake since I was still hungry, and it arrived half crumbled apart. Tasted good, but not much different than a regular one you’d make at home — just a solid spongy chocolate cake.

Note that 10% service fee is automatically added to your bill without being offered to opt out. Swing and a miss for me.

Good place if you want to have a Burger

The vegan cheese sauce is really good but the patty was a bit dry. It has lots of veggies on it and my burger came with mushrooms. I liked the combination. The burger is so filling and if you want to have the combo it comes with potatoes. The staff is nice and the prices are ok.

Not a fan

Personally i felt like food was just eh. Kind of flavorless and all was mushy if that makes sense. The burger was ok, lasagna was confusing and hard, the arepa had an odd flavor and the empanada was probably the best thing... worst of all after i had already tipped them (right in front of them) by placing a tip inside the jar that said 'tips are voluntary' they added a 10% tip to my bill... it was all very awkward and i didnt appreciate that. Wouldn't go back.

Pros: Fast

Cons: Not tasty

Good vegan fast food

I shared a burrito (definitely too much for one person with normal appetite, too many different types of proteins in the same burrito) but everything was good !

Yummy Vegan Arepa

Super excited to find a place that has vegan arepas. Had one for lunch and it was delicious!
Returned the next day and had the burrito for dinner. Absolutely massive and very filling.
The three sauces they offer with meals are all vegan and are really good, as well. Creamy garlic, sweet mustard, and spicy ajo.
Definitely would return!

Pros: Vegan arepas, Varied menu, Nice staff

Cons: Serve some dairy products (cheese)

A burger that tastes like nothing!

I had a vegan burger and it tasted like nothing. The lentil petties were plain and because I don't eat cheese it was substituted with plain slices of tofu.
This restaurant isn't worth it especially for it's prices.

Pros: The waiter was nice
