Absolutely heavenly experience!

The best, most authentic and delicious tacos, served by a lovely angel (Carla). We were stangers but for a second, and now friends with a deep connection.

Pros: The food… amazing!, A great variety of Kombucha, Carla!

The go-to spot!

Spent so long chatting to Carla (owner) that we never took a photo of anything! Visited this spot three times in three days and tried something different every time. So cheap for what you get, the company and the conversation from Carla is truly wonderful and you feel right at home! Can be busy first thing in the morning, would recommend after 10:00am if you're going for breakfast. A lot of variety!

Pros: Great variety, Great flavour, Great owner

Visited again and again!

Carla who owns and runs Viva La Vegan is honestly such a gem! We visited 3 times during our short time in Puerto Vallarta and it was fab every time. Different options each time we visited too, and we basically tried everything on the menu. Carla cooks everything fresh while you chat.

Had some great conversations there too with other customers and would highly highly recommend.

Super good taste reasonable prices

The owner is very friendly and the food is very good. They also sale kombucha which is very tasty as well. The place is small so it can get crowded and waiting times can be long. All the food was very good we always bought food to take away.

Pros: Reasonable prices, Amazing food , Very tasty kombucha

Cons: Small place , Long waiting time

Worth it

I dropped in right at closing and got some takeaway.

All made in-house. Really tasty.

Owner is fantastic.

Very convenient location even if going the other way.

Cute, with a small but tasty menu

This little hole in the wall is so cute. It’s run by just the owner, Carla, by herself and she is HUSTLING. The menu is small: you kind of get what is on offer that day. So for example the special was a pasta with lentil ragout, there was one option for tacos or tostadas (chickpea chorizo), or you had a few other options. There was also an ages Fresca of the day. But everything we tried on the small menu was great, and it was fun to just have whatever Carla was cooking today! There’s a bit of a wait around lunch when there are a lot of orders called in advance, but it’s worth it for a good, fresh meal clearly made by someone who loves what she is doing.

Amazing Tostadas

Probably the best tostadas I have had! So good and so fresh. The owner is a doll, so welcoming. Drinks were also amazing. Highly recommended!

Love that it is not a franchise and I felt I was supporting a business offering the type of food (vegan) that is finding its spot in Puerto Vallarta. #Veganuary

Hidden Gem!

Such a sweet wonderful Cafe & market. Carla makes everything homemade! We tried the Hamburger, tostadas, big salad and her fresh juices. So good! Carla is the owner and the cook. Small place but she hits it big!

Pros: Excellent Home cooked meal, Owner is super sweet, Very Clean

Cons: Not too many seats
