Friendly and good

A lot of vegan options, as well for dessert, something that’s overlooked at some restaurants. Friendly staff that’s helping with the vegan options and keeps tabs on when to get the dessert menu while the rest of the table is going for the regular buffet. You have to order from the menu for vegan although there are some options om the buffet, the best is really in the menu and didn’t disappoint. Fast service so you’re eating together with other people that are eating from the regular buffet

Pros: Friendly staff, Good vegan options (even dessert choices), Love the concept and ambiance

Vegan Mexican Out of This World

Grown up vegan starters, mains and puddings all in a separate section in the main menu. No awkward asking for the vegan menu. 5 proper options for main course. We had fajitas and spare ribs.

Pros: Vegans properly catered for. Big choice., Tasty. Huge portions. , Spacious, interesting, mexican venue.

Gezellige ambiance

Via HappyCow dit restaurant gevonden. Omdat we gelezen hadden dat de porties flink zijn bewust weinig gegeten. Voorgerecht gedeeld met 1 persoon, daarna het hoofdgerecht en het toetje hebben we met zijn drieën genuttigd. En die hadden we puur voor de smaak gekozen.
De cactussoep was heerlijk van smaak (zeer pittig🌶🌶) en de warme tortillachipsschotel was erg lekker.
De spareribs waren erg goed. Bij de eerste hap twijfelde ik even, zo'n goede smaak en textuur. Ook de bloemkoolwings waren erg lekker, goede bite. De gerechten komen met ruim salade, friet en sausjes.
Als toetje nog de churros.👌🏻

Pros: Zeer ruime keus aan vegan opties, Grote porties, Vriendelijk personeel

Cons: Fruitsticker zat nog op het gesneden fruit, Papagaaien horen niet in een druk restaurant

A la carte vegan hele pagina vol opties

Er is een hele pagina in het menu met speciale vegan opties.
En ook nog nagerechten maar we zaten helaas vol.
Grote porties heerlijk.

Pros: De vegan mogelijkheden., De entourage , Het vakantie gevoel

Super lekker

Ronduit top!
Het is aan de dure kant, maar dat is het dubbel en dwars waard. De portie, opmaak en smaak zijn allemaal goed.

Update:
I went here again, but this time with my non-vegan friends. They also enjoyed it, while I felt very happy with the clearly labeled vegan options. We also ordered the vegan nachos as starter, which was very nice with 3 different dips. The cheese actually seems to melt very well.

Big portions and vegan menu

This is a big restaurant which offers a separate vegan menu with ample choices. The portions are big and you can get all you Mexican/Tex-mex favourites here in a vegan version. The food tastes good but not exceptional. They do have, unfortunately, live-in parrots which made me feel uncomfortable…

Pareltje

In de oude stad ergens midden in 1 van de bekende straatjes met eetgelegenheden vind je dit pareltje.
Heel vriendelijk personeel, en echt een ruime keuze aan vegan op de kaart. Het is ook echt heel lekker! Je hoeft niet bang te zijn dat je met nog wat trek naar huis gaat, want er word ruim geserveerd! Echt een aanrader als je in de buurt bent.

Lekker gegeten!

Mooi restaurant, ook kindvriendelijk want er was genoeg te zien. Helaas konden we niet naar een buffetavond maar a la carte was er genoeg te kiezen. Heerlijke nachos vooraf. En grote porties, overigens kregen wij het wel op, maar geen toetje meer. Daar was ik sowieso al niet aan begonnen, de rekening was met deze prijzen al hoog genoeg 😉 Desalniettemin een aanrader als je hier toch bent!

Pros: Veel keuze, Grote porties , Geweldig interieur

Cons: Duur

Delicious Food but expensive

Really good and delicious food, many vegetarian and vegan options available. Only negative thing is the price. The portions are big but almost everything on the menu ist quite expensive.

Amazing

A great restaurant with a lot of vegan options, you get a lot of food, so if you can't eat much I would recommend sharing the main (also great if you have a low budget) because the last picture is what we had left over 😅😅
The food is really delicious and it keeps you wanting to eat more.

Pros: Great food, Delicious food, Lot of options

Vegan buffet is top!

We zijn er begin november voor het eerst geweest maar dit was zeker niet voor het laatst. Het buffet was ontzettend goed verzorgd en ook erg smakelijk! Zeer ruime keuze en dus voor ieder wat wils. Wij gingen nog net niet rollend naar buiten 😅

Good vegan food

They have vegan starters, main dishes and deserts. Good and tasty food! The portion is very large and I would give them the advise to offer smaller and larger portions. That way I would have ordered a desert but now I was full. I give 4 stars because they have animals in cages and clipped birds in the restaurant. I know they are rescue animals but still no place for animals in a restaurant.

Updated from previous review on 2023-10-08

Pros: Tasty food, Quite some options

Cons: Very large portions, Animals in the restaurants

3.5 stars: nice vegan options, but pity about showcased animals

This restaurant is huge, cosy and has many nice vegan options. They have nice cocktails as well.
However, it’s crowded and they showcase living animals. They have 3 parrots (that could fly around), 2 iguanas in small glass cages and many small fish in a small aquarium.

It’s ok

It was ok, nothing more, nothing less. Maybe just a bit above fast food standard, but pricy. The big plus is that they have so many vegan options. Atmosphere was kinda cosy.

Pros: A lot of vegan options

Fine…

Vegan it’s “fine”. They have a card and buffet. If vegan they advise you to order from the menu. The service was rather slow… Nobody was looking around and they had not much time. The food is like simple buffet food but cost just way to much for what you get… My advise: if there are other options go there😉It’s just too overpriced and the food isn’t even that good so… And you are sitting at a outside table? Also kinda weird right?!

So freaking good!!!

This was so freaking delicious! Apparently they only have vegan a la carte when there's not a vegan buffet (every month), and you're supposed let that know beforehand. We didn't know about this and they still let us order a la carte, they had an entirely vegan page with dishes that all sounds delicious. The food was amazing and all the animals are rescued!

Pros: So good!, Nice staff and lots of space, Rescues animals

Cons: It was pretty hot inside
