Best options - Edit
Their best options are the beverages. The wings seemed more like a chicken breasts style dish. Fries were good.

Delicious & wide range of choice - Edit
The food was really good and the menu was so big we couldn't really decide! We took the Crispy Vegan Chicken and the Oyster Burgers and for dessert the cold brew and iced Chai latte. We will definitely come back soon!

Huge, delicious selection - Edit
Huge selection to choose from with many burgers and sandwiches. I ordered the Oyster chipotle vegan chicken burger and it was exceptional. Also ordered the soup of the day which was ok. I would definitely check this place out if I’m the area
Read moreUpdate July 5th 2021:
Food and selection is still delicious. Although, service is criminally slow! Took 20 minutes to receive water. Fiancé’s food arrived 15 minutes before mine which resulted in me watching her eat. Knocking off two stars for horrible service.

Great food and atmosphere! - Edit
We struggled to finish our meals -- the burger was huge! I actually had a moment of doubt when I bit into the chick'n burger because the texture of the oyster mushroom coated with a KFC-style batter was quite chicken-like. They did a great job with the burger and the patacones tacos were really creative too. Very friendly staff and a cool place to hang out and listen to good music or watch something on the screen in the back room.

Amazing vegan restaurant - Edit
This place is great! 100% vegan, the atmosphere is nice and cozy, with beautiful decorations. They have so many options in the menu, I've had the pizza and it was quite tasty and filling. Will definitely come back to try other options! It is not a cheap place but worth the visit.

Great tacos, middling chick'n burgers - Edit
I came away with a mixed opinion of Huacamole after two very different meals.
Read moreThe first meal we ordered delivery via Uber Eats to our hotel. Our Tacos de Sodita and Sandwich Tico arrived as if they had just come out of the restaurant kitchen - still warm and not at all soggy from the take-away containers. The Tacos de Sodita were particularly great, with fresh veggies, a crunchy shell, and crispy banana/chickpea falafel balls, while the Sandwich Tico was stuffed with veggies and flavorful mushrooms.
Our second meal was an in-person visit to the restaurant. The restaurant itself has a great vibe, with abundant neon lighting and colorful murals of food and Costa Rican animals adorning the walls. However, our food - the Oyster Chick'n Chipotle Burger and Huacamole Vegan Chick'n Burger - were fairly disappointing. The Oyster Burger, while massive, had little if any chipotle flavor. The fried mushrooms had an excellent crunch, but they included the stems, which were extremely chewy and resulted in pulling entire mushrooms out of the burger at a time. The Huacamole Chick'n Burger's soy patty was a bit mushy, but otherwise tasted quite good. The fries were the biggest disappointment - undercooked and soft, with an odd dipping sauce (tomato sauce?) - they went mostly uneaten.
So is Huacamole worth the visit? Certainly! Just steer clear of the chick'n burgers and fries and you're likely to have a great vegan meal.

Great food and friendly service - Edit
I visited with my family and the food was really tasty and really filling. We had the plantain burger, patty burger, yucca fries and pizza all were excellent. The young guy working there was really friendly and helpful, as the menu is in spanish so he translated it to english for us. The place was really welcoming and we will definitely be returning.

I had the meal deal with some Venezuelan tacos, salad, yucca chips and passion fruit juice. It was one of the most flavourful vegan meals i've ever had!

Decided on the Pataburger with a salad and Yuca. The fried chickpea patty taste perfect with patacones as buns. Salad comes with a tasty dressing and yucca is lightly fried for a crunchy outside and soft inside. The customer service is great. I will definitely come here again 10/10 😋

Best Vegan Food Ever - Edit
I’ve been all over the world and back and this is a must experience vegan eatery. They have the best tacos I’ve ever tasted (ask for them how the owner likes them, with sautéed bell pepper and mushrooms). The coffee is delicious, deserts tasty, and atmosphere fun and rustic. I can’t say enough about this place. I am so satisfied after eating here.
