Great - Edit
Second time going to Jajaja, first time this location. I got the side of fermented beans, flan, and kale pancakes- don't be afraid, it's basically just for coloring, the kale is completely undetectable. Just fluffy, stretchy, delicious pancakes. All were great, flan was incredible. Wasn't exactly what I remember flan to taste like, but it was it's own unique delicacy, possibly even better
Read more*gorditas with daring chicken - very good
*nachos - great
*mole tamal - very good
*es quite - good, but a little funky tasting. Maybe less cream sauce
Their sauces were also great, my fav was the charcoal, the rest of the table like the yellow/orange fruity one. My gf had the chilaquilas also from the brunch menu, which I thought were delicious. My friend had an horchata drink which he loved.

So happy to have found enchiladas again! - Edit
OMG these enchiladas were bomb. I could barely tell it was plant-based and the roasted dragon fruit inside was amazing. Will definitely have to come back for more.

Nice Food - Edit
Service was nice and it was fun to see an all vegan menu. Maybe we chose poorly, but none of us were properly wowed by our dishes - everything was fine. In the end it felt a bit expensive for what it was. We had the quesadilla, enchiladas mole, and chorizo burrito, and everything was nicely seasoned and flavoured.

Favorite vegan restaurant - Edit
This place is super cute inside and the staff was wonderfully kind. The food was just perfection. You can tell that a talented and inspired chef(s) created the dishes with pride. The prices were very reasonable too! I highly recommend the Mexican street corn, hearts of Palm carnitas tacos, and churritos

I haven't had veganized Mexican food very many times but this was the best I've found yet. Really enjoyed their queso dip too. Free shots from the bartender as we were leaving. I'll be back next time I'm in NYC

Wonderful dining experience - Edit
Excellent all vegan restaurant in the West Village. My wife and I dined here on 2/20/2023 and the food and service were excellent. We enjoyed the nachos as an appetizer. Wow, what a great nacho experience. We also split an order of the Mexican Street Corn and that was delicious too. I opted for the all day brunch selection of Kale Pancakes and my wife chose the Chicken Tacos. We were both very satisfied with our choices. The Kale pancakes were really filling. The restaurant was smartly decorated and the ambiance was superb. The waitstaff was extremely friendly and helpful. We can't wait to go back again.

Great Mexican food - Edit
The food was very good and so was the service.
Read moreThe only downside that portions were rather small and you really need more than one main dish to have sufficient food.
Pros: Fully vegan!

All Vegan Mexican? Yes please - Edit
The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We got the nachos appetizer-which was a lot of food for just two people. Then we shared a quesadilla and churros. I was absolutely stuffed and we had skipped lunch so came hungry. Everything was well prepared and arrived quickly. Quite Spicy but very good. #Veganuary

Exquisite flavours - Edit
I am not an expert on Mexican food so I can’t say how good a ‘substitute’ the food is. It doesn’t matter: the flavours are exceptional. Whoever designed the dishes deserves recognition.
Read moreI visited on the evening and the venue’s vibe is trendy, slightly bar like atmosphere (but clearly the restaurant is the focus).
You must try this out. I had 3 plates - that was definitely enough.
Sadly I visited during a period of alcohol abstinence and didn’t get to check out the extensive tequila and mezcal (and associated cocktails) menu.
You must visit. There are 4 branches of this place. Also seems to do takeaway/delivery.

So many celiac safe vegan options. Delicious street tacos. Excellent service. As a Texan, I wasn’t expecting this delicious fare and such a wide selection of rare tequilas. Ate there three times!

So good - Edit
We came in and were seated at a nice booth. We got lemonade, nachos, and a burrito. The nacho’s were super good. The burrito was so colorful and delicious. The lemonade was bitter but still good. We spent 43 dollars for 2 people and still had leftovers. Great would love to come back soon.

Great place - Edit
A friend brought me to my birthday dinner. We tried several dishes and really enjoyed them. Loved churritos. And the fact that they have clearly GF options is a big plus as my partner is GF so finding a place for both of us can be a challenge. Planning to go back.

A wonderful thanksgiving - Edit
We stopped by on Thanksgiving day and had the most wonderful meal! Highly recommend the breakfast tacos, queso, and churros! Also the charcoal salsa was by far out favorite. Would recommend getting an appetizer or side as the entre portions may be too small depending on your appetite. Can't wait to go back!

Delicious - Edit
I had a great time sitting at the bar—the bartenders were really nice and the cocktails were excellent! I love the chayote squash tacos (I always ask for extra chipotle almond butter on the side—it’s sooo good!) the coconut dessert and quesadilla were excellent as well! Great music and atmosphere

BEST VEGAN MEXICAN - Edit
Ok so this place has the best vegan Mexican food I’ve ever tried!! An absolute must try is their loaded nachos (share at least for two but even better for a group) and their Matcha Energia drink is just wow. We also tried tacos and ceviche and loved it all. Super friendly service, great vibe and interior. Definitely recommend when in NYC!
