Great place

The place has great vibes and you can tell the food is made with love. It’s delicious, hearty and fresh. The staff are very friendly.

It’s specified in the menu which dishes can be made vegetarian and vegan. They have vegan protein (heura chicken substitute) and cheese. I’d really love to return and try more of their dishes 😋

It’s better to make a reservation — when we came on Saturday they were fully booked and only accepted reservations for Sunday. However, we were lucky and they had a table for us outside. Not sure what it looks like on weekdays, but it’s better to book to be safe.

Highly recommended and really worth a visit 🧡

Keen to try more of their items at some point

Full disclosure: I'm mostly reviewing this restaurant because my brother, who's friends with the owner, has nagged me to do so. Normally I'll visit a place more than once in order to have more information to go by, but I guess this will be the exception to the rule.
I had a very nice lunch today, which consisted of homemade guacamole and totopos that were shared (together with a non-vegan starter) and a chipotle enchilada with vegan meat and cheese that I enjoyed on my own. The dish, fairly mild, was served in a cassole/clay casserole, which was a pleasant surprise and added beauty while keeping the contents hot for longer. That said, it didn't take me that long to stuff my face with it, towards the end choosing to add some seemingly plain rice that was going to be too much for my little niece. Here I screwed up big time, as it turned out to be cooked with chicken broth (:(), so beware. This was solely my own fault because the item wasn't intended for me and I didn't think it was necessary to check with the restaurant first.
I hear from a local vegan that La Picantina delivers consistently, so whenever I get a chance I'll be delighted to give it another go, and perhaps update this here review.
