Let them know - Edit
Non of the menu options are marked vegan here but if you let them know they will make you something great so don’t let it put you off, I had a modified version of the Yucatán burrito. Lovely owners and family run

No vegan options - Edit
We were excited to try the vegan options here but there weren’t any. They offered to take the cheese off of three dishes to make them vegan, but they had no vegan cheese substitute or alternative. Sorry but this is not a vegan option! Literally anywhere can take ingredients off if you ask. We went somewhere else… thankfully there are several much better restaurants in St Ives like Scoff Troff, HubBox, the delightful Source Kitchen and St Eia, none of which are vegan but who offered truly creative vegan alternatives to the dishes on their menu. Come on Mex! It’s 2022! Try harder!

A number of vegan options - Edit
Not marked but the staff were very helpful offering a number of vegan options. The options were vegetarian dishes without the cheese. We had nachos which were nice. Other options included burrito and quesadilla.

Nice place - Edit
Not enough vegetables at all in main courses. Starters of nachos by far the best thing.

Wait all year to come back - Edit
The food is brilliant - I don’t bother going anywhere else for Mexican food these days because I know it won’t compare. The nachos and the vegan combo are awesome starters. I order the yucatan burrito and ask for it to be vegan with wedges - I usually bring my own vegenaise as they don’t have vegan mayo and I personally like the combo. It’s so good that I try to eat everything even way after I’m full (the portions are big).

Incredible! - Edit
We had an incredible meal here, still talking about it 24 hours later. Really helpful staff and easy to amend any veggie dishes, they don’t feel that they’re lacking at all, with cheese removed. Had the burrito and honestly it was the best I’ve had. Huge portions and even a pudding of churros (with raspberry, pear or passion fruit sorbet instead of ice cream!)

Very cosy, good food and service - Edit
Not many vegan options in St Ives but via happy cow found this little gem and loved it. Went twice in three days to have dinner. Very good service in this small restaurant (only 8 tables), very quick in serving the food, very friendly waitresses. Had the vegetarian fajitas made vegan, very delicious. Good Latin music playing. Highly recommended while in St Ives.

fantastic food, knowledgable and friendly staff - Edit
Tried here as there are good reviews on Happy Cow. I mentioned I was vegan on booking (booking is essential!) and they said they accommodate many vegans and have vegan wraps.
Read moreAs we arrived a couple were leaving saying they enjoyed it so much they had booked for later in the week...good start.
The waitress had remembered I was vegan and said all the veggie options were available as a vegan dish. I had the veggie/vegan combi to start and the burrito for main. The food was beautifully presented and delicious.
If only I had saved room for dessert...the waitress said they could make the churros vegan and they had two vegan sorbets!
Really lovely atmosphere and great food.
Pros: vegan choices , delicious food , beautifully presented
Cons: book to avoid disappointment!

Mexican delight - Edit
I've been meaning to review this place for a while as our experience here was superb. We booked a table in advance and mentioned to the staff that we were vegan and whether we could bring along our own vegan cheese to use. This was not a problem and the staff were more than happy for us to do this. With this great news, we ordered the vegan nachos and burritos with our own melted vegan cheese on, which were both superb. Some Mexican food can be bland and flavourless with hardly any spice but this was excellent and I would definitely recommend. This was then washed down with some ice cold modellos. The staff and the atmosphere are brilliant, but if I did have one negative it would be the lack of vegan desserts. I'm hoping on our return this may change and hopefully they will start using vegan cheese also.
