Salad verde was real good - Edit
At first sight there are not many options on the menu but once you ask the staff they can make something vegan for you. I had the salad verde and it exceeded my expectations. It was fresh and flavourful!

Mexikaner, nett - Edit
Das Lokal ist optisch ein Hingucker, es gibt auch sehr viele Plätze im Freien. Die Speisen sind leider nicht extra gekennzeichnet, wir mussten nachfragen. Auf Nachfrage gibt es aber auch vegane Optionen. Man kann zwischen Burritos und Taccos wählen. War sehr lecker, hab ich so noch nie gegessen, sehr knusprige Füllung.

Beware - was served meat - Edit
We were visiting Monteverde and looked up veg-friendly places on HappyCow. We were excited to try this place but unfortunately although we ordered from the plant-based menu, they served us two dishes with meat. Very upsetting as we noticed in one dish but ate part of another dish before realizing. They were very apologetic and discounted our bill, but this was very disturbing to us.

Cons: Not careful enough about serving vegetarians

Very helpful staff, delicious food - Edit
I had the avocado tacos, and the cherry lime spritzer. I asked if they could accommodate onion free, and the server was very helpful. She checked with the kitchen and let me know which items could be both vegan and onion free. The food was very fresh and it was delicious!

Lack of flavor - Edit
The restaurant is so cool! I was so sorry to be dissapointed by the food as it was lacking flavor. The staff was really nice -they were sharing ponchos for the people sitting outside as it was so cold and windy😄

Okay Because So Few Vegan Options in Area - Edit
Standard Mexican fare. We were happy to find it because it had been difficult to find vegan food in this area, and at least they had a couple things on the menu we could eat. Funky vibe.

Worth a visit whilst in Santa Elena - Edit
Great vibe and friendly service. They have a lot of vegan options and a seperate vegan / veggie menu. Staff are knowledgeable about the vegan diet and suitable options. We chose veg and mushroom tacos - They were OK but weren't the most flavourful. We may have chosen not a great option though. The burritos looked great! Offer a range of cocktails and beers too.

A whole menu of veggie options, all of which could be adapted to be vegan. Good menu for carnivores too. Would 100% go back if we were on CR again.

Una desilusión - Edit
Los tacos veganos fueron muy básicos, la tortilla se rompieron sin necesidad de agarrarlo, el relleno del taco estaban muy aguados. El chifrijo vegano estaba muy aguado, y no dan aguacate entero, lo que dan es una salsa, además el chicharrón de garbanzo estaba muy pastoso.
Read morePara terminar los precios del menú no coincidían con la factura.
No lo recomiendo hasta que cambien estas observaciones.
Pros: Presentación , Lugar acogedor
Cons: Precio, Sabor, Textura

Plant based vegan Mexican food - Edit
They have plenty of vegan options. The burrito was pretty good. It’s a very American inspired and touristy place. Staff is friendly. We liked the place.

Great food - Edit
Oh wow, they have an extensive “plant based” menu, thought several things have cheese or dairy they will make it without if you ask! Easy to be veganized. Huge portions of food. The tacos were delicious.

Tasty mexican food - Edit
They have a plant based menu with mostly vegetarian dishes, but well labeled vegan foods as well.
Read moreI asked for an originally non-vegan dish, without cheese. They said it would be vegan that way.
I’m not sure.
It's my fault, I should have chosen from the labeled vegan dishes.
Pros: Plant based menu, Rich flavours
Cons: I’m not sure my food was vegan

Few but amazing vegan options - Edit
Menu is a bit limited with vegan options but the ones they have make up for it. Husband and I both got the veggie-chifrijo and it was so darn tasty and filling. The chickpea chicharrones were the shining star. We checked with the staff and the creamy avocado sauce is indeed vegan. The place can get busy and loud in the evenings but it's a lovely slice of street side atmosphere.

Good quality mexikan food - Edit
Pretty good service. A few good options but would be even better with more protein and maybe a bit larger portions for the Fajita For Two. They have a plant based menu but most of the options are lacto ovo.

Great labeled options - Edit
They have a “plant based” menu (including vegan and vegetarian options) with at least 4 of them labeled as vegan. I tried the BIG pozole and it was yummy and REALLY big. It comes with nachos and it’s perfect for a cold day. The staff was very lovely and helpful.

Slow and barely existing service - Edit
Ok food, nice atmosphere, very poor service. Remember to order everything when you arrive, including la cuenta. Your night will otherwise be spent waiting for beverages and food items that never show up (at least not outside the bill).

Limited vegan options but good! - Edit
There are definitely limited options for vegans, but there are a couple choices and the food is good. It’s a cute place with a great view and the staff are friendly and helpful. Prices reflect the tourist nature of Monteverde but aren’t crazy high.

The menu is not helpful but the staff are. Mostly it's about finding vegi menu items and taking out the cheese which is kind sad. The food is very fresh though and delicious. Quite a few options really.
