Flavourrrr and so many options

Had a whole plant based menu! The food was just so tasty. I had the wet vegan burrito with tofu meat and the vegan loaded nachos with mushroom meat and was SCRUM.

Taste = yes

We had Nasi Goreng all day so having some Mexican was a nice break! Friday nights is the tapas menu which was surprisingly good. 30k each dish. We got 6 to share between us and a few drinks.

We had two which were already vegan and 2 we had to make vegan.

Service was actually first class and taste was great. Mushroom taco was great!

Do not skip this place!!

We came here on a Friday night so unfortunately we weren’t able to order from the plant based menu as they have Friday night tapas. The staff were very accommodating and altered 2 meals to make them vegan for us. We had the classic chips and salsa with homemade guac, jackfruit quesadilla with homemade red sauce, mushroom taco (altered to make vegan), and fried mushroom (altered to make vegan) and we got a side of the vegan queso fresco. Each dish was incredible! The mushroom tacos were to die for! After eating so much local food, this was the perfect meal. Do not skip of visiting this place!

Delicious

After 3 months travelling in Indonesia and only really eating local food, this was a change and it really hit the spot! Chose a selection of tacos from the plant based menu and they were so so tasty! Also had cinnamon churros to end . Very happy and will go back!

Pros: Tasty food!

Very good, but limited options on Fridays

We came here on a Friday, which is when they have their tapas special. This means that there’s a different menu and the plant based menu mentioned in other posts here is not available. They were still able to make the mushroom taco and the jackfruit quesadilla vegan, both were good.

Update: Came here a second night and ordered off the plant based menu, great options and so delicious!

Such good food

They have a whole plant based menu which is great. The food comes out soooo quickly as well. And the sangria is amazing!
Edit: we went back a few times and still loved it, but just double check they’ve given you 100% vegan food as they put non vegan sour cream on top of our vegan nachos

I recommend the vegan wet burrito!

Tasty food, nice interior

Good separate vegan menu. Both got wet vegan burritos with tofu as our choice of ‘meat’. The plant based queso is made from tofu and doesn’t taste much like cheese but it was a tasty addition! Got large sizes which seemed normal, I reckon regular would be a bit small. Came with a selection of 3 different salsas which was nice. Would recommend although on the pricier side.

Maybe the best vegan food in Kuta

Separate vegan menu. Wet burrito with mushroom birria was super good. I got the regular size. There is also a large. They serve it with 3 salsas. All the salsas were vegan too. Best vibes as well. Great music and lighting. Of course, the food isn’t as good as in Mexico or the U.S. because of the lack of all the ingredients maybe, but it’s above what you would expect in Lombok, Indonesia. I think it’s really really good considering this!
One note: the mushrooms were a bit undercooked and not roasted in the spices for long enough like they should be for maximum flavor. And even the spiciest salsa wasn’t spicy at all. But still, best food I’ve had in Lombok.

It’s ok

good food, but nothing special.
We had the burrito, the mushroom tacos and the jackfruit tacos everything was ok. The service was ,,very bussy“ and it was difficult to get the attention to order something more…

I want this in my town

Top notch food, vegan options for everything, extremely tasty, portion sizes were perfect. A little on the pricier side but worth it in my opinion.

Very good restaurant

Apparently they don’t have any vegan cheese and they acted like they’ve never had.. 🤷🏽‍♀️
We had the jackfruit tostadas : sooo good!!
And the burrito : the M size is not so big but if you had something as a starter before you should be fine

Get the tacos! If the burrito ask if they have vegan cheese.

Burrito was ok, can see they add spice and flavour though salads are not wrapped and missed the point. Ask if they have vegan cheese available then the burrito will probably be good. If not the crispy mushroom tacos are always a a win!

Great Mexican

It’s been a while since we had Mexican food and we were pleasantly surprised! It wasn’t too expensive for four tacos. Options include crispy mushrooms and jackfruit tinga which is way more exciting than just beans and rice!

Best vegan food in Kuta

I read many good reviews about that place but I didn't expect it to be that good for a mexican restaurant in Indonesia. I ordered the regular burrito in large and they really serve you a huge portion. The burrito filled with jackfruit, mind blowning vegan cheese, beans and delicious red rice. It left me stuffed and satisfied. The guacamole on the side tasted freshly made and was a great dip for the tortilla chips.
The prices are not cheap at all but you'll get your money's worth out of it. I'll definitely come a second time.

Great vegan Mex for Indo

Mexican in Town has a cozy, modern atmosphere with somewhat cliche murals. I wasn’t expecting much from Indo attempts at Mexican, but was impressed with the tortilla chips and salsa.

The guacamole wasn’t too bad either. The burrito was made with a high quality flour tortilla. This was one of the best Mexican inspired meals I had in Asia over months.

Pros: Several labeled vegan options, Fairly “authentic”

Cons: Expensive

Amazing jackfruit, but interesting buritto style

Jackfruit filling was incredible (seemed so much like chicken it was almost off-putting) but the buritto came with all the contents on the side and just rice, beans and jackfruit inside - would have preferred everything wrapped up together. The corn also had sour cream mixed in which wasn't on the menu, so vegans be careful of that one. Happy our cocktails are also well priced.

Amazing to have some decent Mexican

This place is good! I’ve been 3 times during my stay in Kuta
On mondays they do 2 for 1 burritos which is a brilliant deal and they have a happy hour 5-7pm for 2 for 1 cocktails
The portion sizes are lil small but they do have a large burrito option which is similar to a normal sized burrito and the taste makes up for it
The filling can be jackfruit apparently but each time we got tempeh and were still really stoked
If you tell them vegan no cheese no dairy they usually adapt it just let them know no cream corn extra beans instead :)
The sauces/salsa on the side that they give you along your meal are definitely what makes this place so great
Make sure to sit inside as it’s a more relaxing environment with less bracelets kids coming to harass you to buy their goods

Also the tostadas are in my opinion the best things on the menu definitely get them!!!

Pros: vegan options when you ask for it, authentic mexican taste

Good mexican food

I ordered the big burrito and asked for it vegan. The waiter thought I meant vegetarian so I had to specify no cheese, and one of the sides still came with cheese.

The burrito came with tempe instead of jackfruit because they were out. It was tasty and the portion size was good but be sure you are careful with your order!

Super tasty, small portions

Bursting with flavour. They do tempeh when they've run out of jackfruit. The tostadas are my favourite, then nachos (both gluten-free). Their sauces are very tasty.

It's a cool place and atmosphere, but pricey for the area and portion sizes.

Pros: Flavour, Variety of burrito, quesadillas, nachos etc., Cool vibe and decor

Cons: Pricey, Messed up bill 4 times, Only serve bottled water
