Great

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

*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!

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

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

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

Pros: Great food, Great service, Reasonable prices

Good food and nice staff

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

Pros: Fun atmosphere, All vegan

Wonderful dining experience

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.

Pros: Delicious food, Great ambiance, Excellent waitstaff

Great Mexican food

The food was very good and so was the service.

The only downside that portions were rather small and you really need more than one main dish to have sufficient food.

Pros: Fully vegan!

Best vibe of any restaurant

Gosh this place is incredible, I went with my fiancé for an evening of incredible food and fun lively music.

Downside is this place is so popular, plan on making reservations and to be sat 12 inches away from the next table. Still worth it, 5 star experience

Get the chick’n Fresca burrito, you won’t regret it!

Pros: Incredible vibe + music, Food was delicious

Cons: Pricey, but not bad for NYC, Very packed restaurant

A bit disappointing

This place was really hyped up in other reviews so we were really excited to go. Over all the food was okay and we left regretting our choice. The Nachos were good though

Pros: Decor and location , Nice staff

Cons: Loud, Not the best flavors

All Vegan Mexican? Yes please

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

Pros: Varied menu, Cute ambiance, Attentive staff

Cons: No longer have flan on the menu

Exquisite flavours

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.

I 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.

Gluten Free Oasis

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!

Pros: Gluten free savvy, Tequila selection , Service

So good

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

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.

Pros: All vegan, Great taste, Good selection

Cons: Pricey (most places are in the neighborhood)

A wonderful thanksgiving

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

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

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!

A home run

The cocktails were amazing and the nachos were big and delicious enough to split as a meal. Can’t complain!
