Great atmosphere.

There are multiple vegan and vegetarian options. Some plates were huge! Fresh and delicious. Good Mexican flavours. Staff were so helpful in meeting our dietary needed. Does large groups well. We had 23.

Good for old town

A decent option if dining in the old town and Nishta isn’t open. Pretty expensive but I guess that’s the old town for you, the staff know what vegan is so will omit the cheese and sour cream off the mains. Personally wouldn’t go back as would rather go to Nishta or venture out to Urban & Veggie in Gruz district but understand convenience counts for something!
A clear sign of a tourist trap is having each dish listed in 5 languages which is the case here!

Pros: Within old town, Staff understand what to do to “veganise” a dish , Good portion size

Cons: Expensive, No vegan options (only though omitting dairy), Touristy

Tasty Food

Went one evening when visiting Dubrovnik. Food was tasty and the portions were big. We asked waiter for dishes to be made vegan and they understood without any issues.
Prices were okay for the old town.

Pros: Most dishes could be made vegan

Cons: No vegan alternatives to dairy eg vegan cheese

Great food

Went twice in 3 day, waiters helpful. Just has to ask for them to not add cheese etc. Not just a Mexican, I had a spicy tomato spaghetti with capers and olives.

Pros: Nice food, Good service, Location

Tasty and pricey.

They have vegetarian options for almost each dish (burrito, pasta, pizza, tacos, etc), that you can ask to make vegan, as staff is vegan-aware.
We ordered burritos (vegan for me and a standard one for my husband), both of us were satisfied.

Pros: Staff is vegan aware, Vegetarian dishes are specified in menu, Good location

Cons: Pricey

If you get tired of all the other good places I guess eat here...

We had the spaghetti - OK but nothing special.
My partner ordered the gluten free pasta. Waiter said it was gluten free when he brought it. We paid for the gluten free pasta. Later that night he realized it was not gluten free...

Go here if you like Mexican food and party in your mouths

Really lovely experience! Was able to adapt the tacos! Fresh yummy food and good for vegans and non vegans alike could not recommend anymore. Waiter knew what a vegan was which a massive bonus too.

Pros: Yummy food , Easily adaptable , Nice service

Meh

Very mediocre food but it was nice to have somewhere to eat out in the Old Town other than Nishta. Server knew about veganism and was happy to modify vegetarian dishes. Don’t think we’d come back though because the food was ludicrously expensive and we were refused free tap water.

Good

Had the vegetarian burrito and asked for no sour cream or cheese, it was very tasty and quite spicey! Can’t go wrong with a burrito, what else do you expect other than veg rice and beans!

Pros: Lots of veggie options (could be made vegan), Huge menu

expensive for what it is

Based on reviews here we were expecting more. We both had the vegetarian burrito which was a bit flat and literally consisted of kidney beans, sweetcorn, sauce and rice. ( Not enough rice) It wasn't packed like a burrito should be, and we were expecting more veg. Starter was nice although we were only given a tiny bowl of guacamole with a huge amount of nachos.

Pros: Vegan options available, spicy

Cons: Expensive, nothing special- quite disappointing

Good stuff

A number of options for vegans just ask for no sour cream and cheese. FYI if you don’t eat much you’ll be good sharing a main as the portions are huge.

Pros: Good value for money , Good amount of options

Cons: The mixture inside of all the options is the same

Comida mexicana com várias opções vegan

Almoçamos na esplanada. Gostámos do serviço. Quase todos os pratos têm opção vegetariana que se pode tornar vegan se pedirmos para excluir o queijo e natas azedas. Pedimos um burrito, tacos e quesadillas. Estavam todos bastante bons!!

Pros: Várias opções vegetarianas, Bom serviço , Bom tamanho de doses

Cons: Sabor semelhante de todos os pratos

Big portions

The food was really yummy and the portion sizes was massive. Had nachos 'to start' but could have just eaten that! Next was the burrito 🌯, it was tasty and flavoursome!
Staff new about veganism and explained what dishes could be altered, he also advised which would be the best one... He picked right! 😀

Hvala vam puno

Hearty fast food

We came here for lunch yesterday and had the veggie burritos without cheese, waiter didn’t understand what veganism was so gave up on that one 😂. Sadly man with moustache wasn’t there (see previous reviews). All in all a good hearty fast food meal, good service. Everything in Dubrovnik’s expensive so I didn’t think it was over priced. Would eat here again 👍

Pros: Fresh food prepared quickly

Cons: Wasn’t sure on contamination in kitchen 😱

Great Mexican

Great service- they understand vegan/vegetarian and no dairy. I was served super fast. I had the burrito and asked without cheese or sour cream. Absolutely delicious and so filling! I also had the nachos to start that come without cheese, just chilli dip. Really great Mexican food in Dubrovnik.

Pros: Lots of options - most I’ve seen in Dubrovnik , Great price , Great service

Delicious food.

I went for the vegetarian enchiladas. Then menu mentioned it contained cheese so I asked for it without. The waiter then returned and double checked if it was also the same for sour cream which was a good catch by him as the menu doesn’t state that that dish has sour cream with it. Was a lovely meal!

Pros: Decent size portion., Didnt feel awkward when adapting the veggie option

Vegan Friendly

I came here today for lunch when I discovered Incredible Indian to not be open because of a problem in their kitchen. I'm sure most places can make things vegan but I didn't really feel like bothering with explaining so I came here based on the previous review.

They have a vegetarian version of the tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and fajitas. They also have chips with various salsas and guacamole. I'm happy to say the staff understands what vegan is and omitted the cheese and sour cream on the enchiladas I ordered. The portions are large and my enchiladas were very flavorful. They were filled with beans, corn, various peppers, and zucchini.

If you're in a pinch or Nishta is too crowded definitely come here and have a meal.

Pros: Vegan friendly menu, Good service

Great change from the norm!

Great fresh spot in the old town's ground level, so good access if not feeling the staircases! Beautiful burrito makers.

Pros: Vegan friendly kitchen staff

Cons: Not yet hosting a fully vegan labelled meal though
