Excellent falafel pita - Edit
We shared a wrap and a falafel plate. Both v good. And the actual pita itself was exceptional. The very busy cook was friendly.

Fresh and delicious food - Edit
The owner of the restaurant was extremely friendly and accommodating of any requests that were made. The food that was served was very rustic and very freshly prepared. We had the pita sandwich and the falafel platter. Would definitely recommend eating here.

No longer on the dock! - Edit
He’s moved but he’s just as good! Lots of people come in after getting their groceries at the market to get hummus to go. I got the falafel and it didn’t disappoint. Owner speaks Spanish, English and French and that’s just the languages I heard while I had lunch.

Great hummus! - Edit
This tiny place made some of the best hummus I’ve ever had. The falafel sandwich was great as well. They do serve meat but are more than happy to accommodate vegans. The owner was friendly and kind. I will go back!

Falafel deserves 5 stars - Edit
If you’re like me and have lived in New York for many years, you may associate shawarmas with late-night drunk food. This was one of the reasons why I hesitated to visit this place at first, despite it being highly recommended as one of the best restaurants in PV for vegans.
Read moreBeing a vegan myself, I ordered the falafel sandwich and watched Sammy, the owner, cook everything from scratch in his one-person kitchen. To be honest, my expectations were low because all the falafel I’ve had in the U.S. have been bland and dry, but was I blown away by this one. Sammy’s falafel sandwich is a warm, hearty, comforting meal packed with flavor. The falafel is moist and well-seasoned, the garlic sauce and hummus do well to bring out the flavors of the falafel, and the warm pita wraps everything together like a hug.
I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sammy as a person. We talked all about his passion for getting people healthy. Having not had the most healthy lifestyle when he was younger, Sammy is very conscious about food and nutrition. He does marathon trainings on the side and uses the menu as a way to play around with food to see what types of food can help sustain one’s energy without any spikes or crashes. This is food that not only tastes delicious and keeps you feeling full but also gives you enough energy for the whole day. My favorite thing about Sammy’s food is that it does not create gut inflammation, which means I can eat here every day without any digestive problems, and believe it or not, that is hard to find here.
One of the things I love about this place is that you can see all the spices he uses on the wall behind the counter, which makes the food feel so much homier. This is the what a home-cooked meal tastes like. As a health-conscious person myself, I prefer to eat foods like this more than foods that get marketed as “healthy” such as smoothie bowls and salads because these traditional recipes carry the wisdoms of people who understood how to heal the body with food and only food.
Pros: Healthy, Delicious, Traditional

Delicious and inexpensive - Edit
Delicious falafels, babaganush, hommus at an inexpensive price for the region. Small and simple restaurant, with a good service. Not many options, but enough for one to have a great lunch. I recommend the “Arabic plate”, that showcases all the vegan options in one order

Interesting Option - Edit
The atmosphere is nothing to write home bout but the food and friendly service more than made up for it. Ordered the hummus with warm pita and falafel sandwich, all fresh tasting. Who goes to Mexico to eat Mediterranean food? I do. Will definitely come back.

Perfect vegan lunch - Edit
Small shop with bar style seating, just a few blocks from the beach, food is made right in front of you. I ordered a falafel and a hummus plate which came with warm, fresh pita bread. The hummus and falafel were both probably the BEST I've ever had. The falafel balls were fried right in front of me and accompanied by a cucumber salad, cabbage, hummus, tahini, etc. One sandwich was very filling and satisfying. Though the shop does sell meat, the owner himself is vegan and told me the meat options are to help his store survive in this area. Super sweet guy who will happily answer any of your questions and modify your meal to your liking. I HIGHLY recommend this spot!

Don't let this simple falafel joint pass by your radar because it looks small. Their falafel is top notch, as are the dressings. Remember to try one of their taste house-made drinks!

Amazinggg 😍💕 - Edit
I would give this place 5 stars if I could. The owner was super friendly and we talked the entire time. I ordered a falafel, he made it fresh right in front of me and asked me if I was vegan. Everything he had there was homemade by him. His falafel beat my all time favorite back at home! I would definitely recommend if you are in the area.
