Improved from my last visit

Very friendly service and I enjoyed the food more than when I went a few years ago. For Mexican food in Key West I prefer tacos at Amigos or the Cafe, or the veggie fajitas at Chico's Cantina or Hard Rock. This place is just OK for the price as other reviewers said.

Pros: Friendly service, Duval Street location

Cons: No parking, A bit pricey

Decent Mexican food

This is a good veg friendly spot. I ordered the fried avocado tacos which was vegan. The portions are a little small (not your typical big plate Mexican restaurant) and expensive. I was happy with the food, but not happy about being charged $4.50 for the side guacamole which was basically two tablespoon quantity. Think I got 4 chips worth out of that.

Good Vegan Option!

Oh happy day. This was our first meal during our Key West vacay and we arrived during happy hour😄. Excellent house margarita! Everyone should make them like this. We had the guacamole app, veggie fajitas and garden burrito. All were great!

Pros: Vegan options, House margaritas , Cute outdoor seating

Good service, disappointing food

I really wanted to like this place still after going vegan, but their vegan options are limited, and the food I've gotten here the last two times I've been here was dry. I'm sure plenty of people can enjoy the food here, it just isn't for me.

Great dinner

We’ve had a hard time finding a good vegan dinner in the keys. But this was delicious. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was excellent. We dined at the bar and the bartender was very knowledgeable and gave us several options. They have a small vegetarian section but they will also make other dishes vegan. We had the black bean and avocado tacos and they made my fiancé a vegan chimichanga which he devoured.

Pros: Lots of options, Fresh and delicious, Excellent happy hour

Vegan-Friendly Mexican in Key West

Food****
This restaurant is not a strictly vegan or vegetarian restaurant, but they were more than accommodating with changing dishes around and making sure we were happy with our food! We ordered the Spinach and Vegetable burrito and asked them to add black beans and Spanish rice; which they did free of charge! The strawberry margaritas were excellent as well and they even offer to-go drinks!

Service ****
As they were super accommodating with their menu, provided chips and salsa right away and had extremely quick service, they received a great review. COVID regulations were enforced and tables were far apart to ensure proper distancing.

Atmosphere ****
Restaurant is mostly outdoors although they do have a few indoor seats and a cute bar as well.
Cute decorations and lights hang from the trees to give it a great ambiance.

Price $$$
Dishes were average of $15 dollars and margaritas were around $8-12.

Pros: Very accommodating for vegans

Cons: Not strictly vegan

Good veg/vegan options

Good Mexican food with separate vegetarian section of the menu, most of which can be make vegan. Asked the server and the beans are cooked in water and sat, no pork broth.

Pros: Vegan Tamales were good!, Nice outdoor patio
