Lekker eten

Goede smaak, als je pittig wilt krijg je er huisgemaakte pepers op olie bij.
Wees daar spaarzaam mee.

Very nice place

Vibe is amazing and laid back, great to visit with friends. Great plus is the owners super friendly and chill dog!
Waiting times were short but almost too short, they brought our main dishes 10 seconds after we finished our starter and they hadn't even taken our plate away yet.
We had loaded fries as a starter and loved them. Really liked the burrito and the taco's were okay. Would have liked to see some sauce with the seitan and fill all taco's up with some vegetables. Really liked the chorizo and tempeh, seitan was good but not amazing and a bit on the drier side.

Pros: Chill vibes, short waiting times, owner's dog is there!

Cons: No time between starter and main dish

Yummy Mexican food

Really love that it is a Mexican restorant but completely vegan!
My boyfriend ordered the enchiladas, my friend the gringa and I had a burrito and we all found it delicious.
One time I went with a friend just for drinks and nachos and the loaded nachos are bomb! They bake their nachos fresh and you can really taste that they are homemade. Reallyyyy good! Also all the toppings and sauces on the loaded nachos were very yummy so I’ll definitely recommend them!
They have some cocktails on the menu but I did not try them yet. I had their homemade iced tea though and it was very good! So fresh.
The owner is very friendly but looks like for the busyness they are a little understaffed and bc of this the waiting is a bit longer so if you do not have a lot of time, this is not the place for you.
I think if they up their level of hospitality this place is going to be one of the hotspots in Antwerp city.
For me this is a place I would definitely go back!

Pros: Very yummy Mexican food , Nice drinks , Cosy terrace

Cons: Understaffed and bc of this slow service

Best vegan tacos I’ve ever had

Just delicious. They were able to create a combo for me of all the taco combinations and it was amazing! The restaurant’s vibe is also great 😎

Outstanding taqueria

I can't say enough positive things about this restaurant. They've clearly put so much care into creating delicious vegan versions of classic dishes. Everything we ordered was absolutely brilliant. If we go back to Antwerp and are looking to treat ourselves, booking a table here will be at the top of the list.

Vegan taco place

In the heart of Antwerp you can find this fully vegan taco place.

They serve vegan tacos, burritos but also burgers, hot dogs, nachos etc…

Food was okay but nothing special. Also it’s a bit overpriced for what you’re getting.

Friendly and fast service. They have indoor and outdoor seatings.

Tip: look for the dog if you’re sitting outside! 😀

Pros: 100% vegan, Lots of options

Cons: Food was okay but nothing special, A bit overpriced for what you’re getting

Best loaded nachos ever.

We had the loaded nachos (yes, the title already gave it away) and three tacos with different fillings. Everything was SO tasty. I loved how every ingredient had a distinct and rich taste. The person that took our order was super kind and helped us choosing. The home-made and melty vegan cheese on the nachos was such a highlight! Highly recommended to add this to your itinerary in Antwerpen!

Loved the food, relaxed place

Next to some traditional dishes, you can also 'compose' your own. Choose either nachos, tortilla, gringa, torta ... as base and then Milanesa, chorizo, .. as filling.
We had the Torta chorizo (14,5€) and the gringa milanesa (11,5€). Very fairly priced!
Large and spacious front terrace, on the square in front of the stadsschouwburg. And vegan icecream parlor Icelab nicecream creations is just a few steps away, and vegan shop Nieuwe Vaart just around the corner!

Service by the young waiter was very friendly, and swift.
Gave a Happy Cow sticker and it was immediately put on the window 🙌

Some more mocktails on the menu would be nice.

Not accessible - toilets downstairs, didnt see an accessible toilet.

Delicious Mexican food

Spent a long lunch on their nice and sunny terrace, enjoying delicious food and tasty cocktails. Highly recommend the loaded nachos. Never happens but I actually forgot to take a photo of the rest of our dishes, as it was just too good. Only 4 stars instead of 5, as the cutlery / napkins we received weren’t really clean. Food quality deserves 5 stars. Will definitely visit again when in Antwerp and highly recommend this place.

Pros: Nice terrace, Great food, Friendly / personal staff

Strongly recommend

We didn't order taco's, which is a shame.
We did order enchiladas and the burrito bowl as a main. Both were great, no regrets!
We also don't regret getting talked into ordering the loaded Nacho's for starters AND the churros. Even though we were completely full, I hadn't had churros since becoming vegan and couldn't refuse.
The staff is very friendly, the main dude is the smoothest guy who knows what he's doing.
Medusa, their dog, is super cute, lying next to our table. They expressly asked if we didn't mind if she was next to us.

For starters, mains, dessert, 2 drinks and 2 coffees we paid about 90 euro's.
Would recommend.

Pros: All vegan Mexican flavours, Friendly staff, Nice venue

Very pleasant

The weather was gorgeous so we could sit outside with the dog and the rooster. I had the loaded nachos, they looked much more genuine than the ones you usually get. The home made lemonade was amazing as well.

Pros: Large terrasse, open on mondays, cute dog

True hospitality

When we got here the place was closed, but the owner was having a family dinner and offered us a plate, because he couldn't let us leave without food.

It tasted amazing too!
