Delicious vegan burrito - Edit
The vegan burrito was really nice - the soymeat they use is very well prepared and flavourful. The burrito comes with french fries/salad and a side of avocado and salsa. The french fries were a little too dry and oily in my opinion.
Read moreAll in all, it’s a good vegan option for lunch in Takayama!
p.s.: If they offer the option to make their veggie burger vegan it would be even better

Veggie - Edit
The staff was very friendly. The food was very good, 4 options for vegetarians ( burger, burrito, enchilada, and a quesadilla) , 1 for vegans ( burito). The restaurant is very small so you may have to wait a little bit before you can enter but it's worth it.

Very nice people, tasty food - Edit
Small and sweet place with a very warm and nice atmosphere. It was closed when we got there at 16:20, but the lady came out to tell us they will open again at 17:00 because they were busy and need to remake a lot of things.
Read moreThere is only one vegan option. More options if you are vegetarian.
We ordered the vegan burrito, and both enjoyed it! You can choose either salad or chips with it.
The lady even surprised us by wishing us safe travels in our native language when we left :)

Exceeded expectations - Edit
We had a veggie burger lunch special, burger, drinks and chips. Tee were asked if butter was okay and about milk, so
Read moreAppeared vegan ready. The sign outside said vegan and vegetarian options. I was expecting the soy based burger to be like a meat substitute type that simulates meat, but was very glad it wasn’t. It was all delicious and language was no barrier as we have practically no Japanese.

The Vegan option is Burrito only. 🌱

Best vegan burrito in Japan! - Edit
I don't even have the words to describe how delicious this vegan burrito was! It was so filling, and the flavors were perfectly combined! They make their own soy meat, and I really hope that they will expand their vegan menu. I believe that with just a few small tweaks they can easily veganize many of their existing dishes. But in the meantime, I highly recommend having the vegan burrito if you are in Takayama!

Favourite place in Takayama! - Edit
Great burrito and fries! They make their own vegan meat from scratch and it’s delicious. We do wish they had more than one option, even if the one option is amazing. Because they make a soy cheese too I think it would be possible to make their vegetarian options all vegan. If they were all vegan everyone is happy :). The owners are super friendly and we had a good time there.
Read morePros: Clear vegan option, Vegan meat/cheese, Flavour

Great taste and excellent staff - Edit
We arrived at EvilTex for a late lunch. They quickly came to us and right away asked if a there was someone vegan or vegetarian on the table. A vegan vegetarian menu in English was readily available.
Read moreThey food was delicious! The size of the burrito was excellent! Much bigger than the portion size you normally find in Japan. It made me think of the Chipotle burrito you find in the US.
The staff was very friendly!
I intended to go back but unfortunately we made changes to our travel plans and could not make it there again.
Pros: Large meal size, Flavor, Friendliness
Cons: Only1 vegan option.Some veget. might b made vegan, No vegan desserts

So good - Edit
We came here as it was one of the only vegetarian friendly places open on new years day but we were presently surprised by the delicious burgers and burritos. It had a ‘route 66’ American diner feel and the staff were lovely. They had a good number of vege options and double checked our dietary requirements when we ordered. Beer selections were good too!

YUM! something different - Edit
Omni fiancé had a burger and I had the vegan burrito. Very understanding about vegan. I asked for fried pickles and the lovely server kindly let me know the batter had egg! When my meal was delivered she assured me no fish, meat, dairy, egg etc. was delicious! And something a little different after 2 weeks of Japanese food.
