Alright food, terrible service

It’s nice that they have options of tofu and tempeh for every dish, however the food was very average. Went for the lunch menu - the dumpling was good but the chow mein was tasteless and had to add a lot of soy sauce for flavour. They took so long to take every dish out, one member of our group received their first course 15 minutes later than everyone else. They also forgot about our fruit and when they brought it out the watermelon was almost inedible. I would have expected something a little better for the price.

Pros: Vegan options for every dish

Cons: Very slow service , No flavour to the food

Opciones interesantes

Este restaurante ofrece una carta con opciones de cocina guatemalteca, mexicana y asiática. Probamos los tacos , el jocón, rollitos y ensalada. Lo que más nos gustó fueron los tacos.

Loved it!

You know how usually in vegan places when you order tacos, you get your tacos and that’s it? Well here, you get your three tacos AND a portion or rice, beans, salad and a full plate with different sauces and herbs. It was delicious, I will be back.

Peaceful charming restaurant with many vegan options

The atmosphere was peaceful and comfortable. A calm haven in Panajachel. Had the Pepián (Guatemalan stew) with Tofu and it was very fresh and comforting. Will be coming back to try the many other dishes. Serve breakfast/lunch/dinner and some vegan dessert options

Lots of vegan options!

The food was good and filling! Often busy. I found it a bit flavorless and I exciting but definitely worth it if you want something easy

Best Tacos ever

on my second day in Panajachel, I already returned and even though I like to try new things, I had the same dish again. to the end I got sad as I realised it might be the last time I would eat these amazing tempeh tacos.
My wife persisted on asian food which was pleasant but not as perfect as my tacos.

Is situated in a patio and is quite calm for Santander street. Staff is amazing. The food is... well... see above...

Pros: Many options, Amazing staff, Quiet patio

Cons: Many vendors come by while you eat

GREAT VEGAN ASIAN OPTIONS

Had the "Menu of the Day" for just Q60 that includes miso or dumpling nasi goreng / chao min / chop sui fruit and everything has the alternative with tofu/tempeh or shitake. The miso soup was superb and the Chao min was a big dish that improves if you add the sauce.

Pros: Many vegan options, Cheap and good portions

Good variety of vegan dishes

The menu is quite extensive here, most dishes can be prepared vegan on request. We tried the Hunan wok and the nasi goreng, both were nice but could have been punchier on the flavor. The tofu satay sticks were great though. Would love to come back and try the potsticker dumplings which are apparently well known at this spot.

Pros: plenty of vegan options

Cons: some dishes need more flavor

Plenty of vegan options

Chinitas has a wide variety of dishes that can be made vegan. The emphasis is on Asian dishes such as stir fries, nasi goreng, chow mein, summer rolls (my favorite!), and dumplings. It is one of the few places you can get vegan desserts, including chocolate cake and dairy free ice cream.

The owner, Ling, really understands vegan and is a delightful person. If she isn't there, double-check that the staff understands you want vegan.

Really nice food!

We went there 3 times for breakfast and dinner and I expect we’ll make it another time before we depart Pana. The owner is very nice and the food taste great. It’s simple wholesome home cooked food at a fair price. Maybe the menu is a little extensive, but we didn’t try anything we didn’t like. The chocolate cake is to die for!

Pros: Lots of vegan items, Wholegrain rice!

Cons: A lot of people selling stuff, Not 100% vegan/vegetarian
