Expensive Mexican option

Several veggie options which can be made vegan but very expensive €180 for 5 mains & 3 margaritas. €27 for a veggie burrito! Service is good.

Pros: Service was attentive , Several menu options

Cons: Very expensive for standard Mexican fare

Tasty quesadillas (minus queso)

There was a deal on the quesedillas when we went for lunch, and a lot of veggie options can be made vegan as long as you ask for it without cheese or sour cream (where applicable).

The quesadillas has a lot of veg but it was just what was needed for us. It was really nicely seasoned and the staff were lovely and attentive. I also got the fresh orange juice which was so refreshing.

Pros: Quiet location, Kind staff, Tasty food

Cons: No vegan nachos as listed in description here

Solid Mexican food

Decent Mexican food for a fair price, some special prices seem to be on offer at times which make the food cheap as Dubrovnik goes in the old town.

Friendly and attentive staff and decent portion sizes.

Pros: Decent food, Good portioning, Friendly staff

Vegans options can be make

Nothing vegan on the menu but you can ask to have vegetarian nacho, buritos, enchiladas or fajitas without cheese and creme. It's a good idea to ask to have guacamole in exchange. Margaritas are good. Good service, nice terrasse.

Vegan friendly

Friendly staff, who once they knew I was vegan, quickly went through the veggie options that could be made vegan. This was basically all the veggie options by removing the cheese and/or sour cream. The food was incredibly tasty, and the portions were large and filling.

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, Good veggie choices that could be made vegan, Vegan aware

Mexican in Dubrovnik

Nice Mexican in the old town of Dubrovnik. Staff is vegan aware and can make most of the vegetarian dishes vegan. I had the vegan burrito and nachos and guac which was nice. A little expensive but no more than the other restaurants around. Margarita cocktails were okay but would not recommend.

Chicken in my veg burrito!

Ordered a vegetarian burrito with no cheese or sour cream. Came without dairy, but then found pieces of chicken in it! Waiter apologised profusely and removed from the bill, and said some chicken had got into the rice by accident. So off putting!! A shame because the burrito without bits of meat was tasty and the portions were huge.

Delicious vegetarian options

The food here was absolutely delicious and the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The vegetables tasted fresh and the food was spiced perfectly! I had the vegetarian fajitas and my boyfriend had the vegetarian burrito and we loved both of them, we were really impressed that you could take all of the meat options and make them vegetarian which isn’t something you can always do!

Pros: Delicious vegetarian options , Didn’t feel like you were missing out , Toilet on site

Cons: Also serve meat

Awesome Mexican!

Great food, lots of vegan options. When I asked the staff to take out the cheese of something he asked if I was vegan then said he would take the sour cream out too. So the staff were knowledgeable regarding veganism! Will likely reattend here whilst in debrovnik

Pros: Dishes can be made vegan , Large portion , Great location in old town

Cons: Expensive as per Dubrovnik's standards

Ok place. Massive portions

No labelled “vegan” options but veg options that you can make vegan removing cheese and sour cream.
The fajitas were served in a tray, not on a plate… in a tray.
Portions are massive!
Tacos were served on a plate but were also filled to the brim.

Great food

Vegetarian dishes on menu can be made vegan by taking out the cheese and sour cream. The staff are aware of what vegan food is. It is slightly overpriced for what you get considering they don’t do substitutes but the food was good nevertheless.

Pros: Great food , Staff aware of what vegan is, Ambient environment

Cons: Overpriced , No substitutes

Vegan tacos with chicken 😦

We asked for vegan tacos, which were served without sour cream or cheese... but loaded with chicken. Take care as there are no vegan options listed and many restaurants don't understand what vegan actually means. This really spoiled our evening which was a shame because the food was otherwise very nice

Updated from previous review on 2022-07-25

Pros: Big portions, Tasty Mexican food

Cons: Don't understand veganism , No apology or discount for the mistake

Quesadilla was really tasty and lots of flavour. My friend had the vegetarian nachos (made vegan with no cheese). Portion sizes are big. Staff are friendly and helpful. Its a shame they don't do vegan cheese.

Food is okay but very expensive

Got the nachos with guac and the vegetarian burrito without cheese.
Both tasted okay but not great. Nachos with guac were a bit bland and the burrito tasted good, but nothing special.
All together just too expensive in comparison to all the great vegan options in Dubrovnik.

Pros: Staff is willing to adapt the vegetarian choices, Okay food

Cons: Nothing special, Expensive

Vegan friendly Mexican in the old town

Very helpful and friendly staff. Can convert anything vegetarian on the menu into vegan. Could have done with more beans in the tacos, there was A LOT of lettuce and I got hungry later. Otherwise lovely.

Pros: Very vegan friendly, Great service, Good tunes

Cons: Low in vegan protein, Not the tastiest Mexican ever

Meh

If vegan - avoid. We got the burritos and fajitas, veganized (i.e. without cheese and sour cream). We got some soggy tortillas filled with the usual Mexican veggie mix (beans, corn, etc.), not a single spice to be detected, on top of half a kilo of unseasoned, dry lettuce. And expensive too!

Not worth it.

Decent food for a hungry vegan

We sat outside in the side street. The serving staff all understood vegan needs and were fine about adapting dishes. Food was filling, had the burrito which was based around kidney beans and sweetcorn. Not bad!

Pros: Can veganise food, Nice change from tomato pasta, Nice atmosphere, good service

Not bad for old town

As other reviews highlight, it is expensive to eat here. However it was nice to have some vegan Mexican food! Lots of options- including Italian choices. We found the food varies in sizes. I had nachos and had to pay seperate for guacamole- which it needed. The burrito looked amazing though! Expensive meal and drink (fizzy and alcohol on par). Overall this was a pleasant experience

Pros: Lots of vegan option- staff are aware of veganism

Cons: Expensive , Varying plate/dish sizes , Lots of flies in the area
