Price/value was good. Open 24/7! - Edit
Was hungry and had a veggie hotdog and black bean arepa. It was okay for Cartagena. Open 24/7. The waiters were vegan-aware, English speaking and a nice guy.

Not The Best - Edit
Small place that according to Google Maps is open 24/7?! I went here twice during my time in Cartagena, the second time mostly because of convenience and a lack of other options.
Read moreUnfortunately ALL the vegetarian options contained cheese, and there was no vegan cheese. On my first visit I had the Arepa Cesaria Evora (17.800 COP) and the Arepa Andrea Echeverry (17.800 COP) - both without cheese. The Cesaria Evora was dry and very disappointing. The Echeverry was alright. On my second visit I had the vegetarian burger without cheese. It was alright.
I'd only go here as a last resort, there are way better restaurants in Cartagena.

A arepa é seca e dos vegetais que oferecem só se sente o gosto do pimentão - Edit
Decepcionante. Queria muito provar uma arepa colombiana e essa é muito fina e seca.

bob marley? - Edit
ordered that one following a happy cow user recommendation... it was different for sure.. first time i had plantains like that.. but flavours didn’t live up to the hype.. toppings could have been more creative.

Nice Arepas - Edit
Not the best vegan arepas I've ever had, but good enough for a snack. They have a veggie section in their menu which I appreciate. Prices are fair and the place feels very cosy and authentic. 😄

Loved my arepa here - Edit
I stopped in on a hot day for a beer and a black bean-onions-mushroom arepa. No regrets! Totally delicious and they probably used an entire cup and a half of beans.

Fine food - Edit
My vegetarian partner had the cheese, onion and mushroom arepa, which he describes as "fine". I asked for the black bean and cheese areap to come with something other than cheese, as I am a vegan. Was told avocado would be extra and could have tomato. When it came to paying, both the tomato and avocado were additional, at 5mil each, making for a very expensive arepa.
Read morePros: Several vegetarian options
Cons: Charge for adaptations to vegan options

Easy spot for a vegan snack. - Edit
Quero Arepa was my first stop while in old Town, food and price was fair. The arepa itself wasn't the best but I was able to pick what I wanted inside and enjoyed it just the same. Easy wifi and friendly staff.

Super rich arepas - Edit
Delicious arepas stuffed with mushrooms. They swapped cheese for guacamole per our request. Surprisingly the arepa itself was dry and the worst part. But the filling was so bursting with flavor it made the entire experience worth it.

Sorry to hear the others found that some dishes were out of stock. I think the place might be a bit ‘laid back’ looking at the speed of the service staff.

Often out of stock for Veggie Dog, Veggie Burger - Edit
I went to try the Bob Marley and the Veggie Dog. Went on a Sunday night, they were out of the Veggie Dogs, they said they just ran out, so I left saying I would come back another night. I went back on a Tuesday during the daytime, to make sure they would have the Veggie Dogs this time. They didn't and said they hoped for an order to come in on the coming Saturday. So I had the Bob Marley, which was great, and the wok vegetables - also tasty. Two plates was too much, so I took the leftovers to my hotel for the next day. I went back a few weeks later and again they didn't have the Veggie Dog, so I said I'd have the veggie burger - which they said they also didn't have, because it comes from the same veggie protein as the Veggie Dog, and they were out of it again. Eventually after another visit, they did have the Veggie Dog and I liked it. So if you are planning to go for dinner and you want to eat vegan, you may want to stop by in the daytime, check the menu and see if what you want will be in stock.

Expensive and incompetent - Edit
We ordered a vegan arepa with beans only to find out all of the arepas are made with butter. We had to taste it to find out. We asked for advocado in place of the cheese and had to pay. We ordered falafel and it came only as falafel with no lettuce or tomato or anything fresh.
Read morePros: Falafel was ok
Cons: Expensive, Not actually vegan, Incompetent staff

Good option, cheap and tasty food - Edit
Dedicated vegetarian menu. None of the options were vegan, make sure you ask for your meals sin queso. Very good price vs big portions. Really enjoyed my visit here, service was a bit slow but staff was lovely. Cash only.

Comida Deliciosa Vegana - Edit
There aren’t a whole lot of options in CTG for vegans. So finding the amazing food here felt like striking gold! The Thai Stir Fried Rice was loaded with veggie and sabor! Topped with falafel for protein, but it really didn’t need it. I also tried the falafel burger with fries. Very tasty dishes. This was my favorite dining experience of the week.

Vegetarian friendly - Edit
The restaurant has a vegetarian page in its menu which was great to see in Cartagena. Unfortunately almost all of those dishes aren't vegan and when I requested cheese be substituted for a vegetable I was told that cost would be extra. I tried a black bean arepa without the cheese and it was pretty underwhelming. The fried plantain with veggies was alright.
