Limited vegan options

It looks like this place had more vegan options in the past. The owner does understand what vegan means however. The only two options we were offered were a vegan burrito and guacamole with tortilla chips. Took a full hour to prepare, but very delicious as everything appears to be homemade.

Pros: Opening hours, Owner understands veganism

4/5

Decent little restaurant with tasty food - I visited it three times as it was the closest place that was consistently open for both lunch and dinner.
Some dishes are small (enchiladas) some quite large (burritos) - I suggest asking depending on your appetite.
The quesadillas lunch plate was particularly tasty and definitely large enough!
I also tried the soy and coconut ice-cream but I didn't enjoy neither the flavour or the texture, so can't recommend it.
The music played was good too!

Overpriced, tiny portions

I had great expectations about this place (all vegans seem to go here during their time in Ishigaki), but I was very disappointed.😒I came twice, once for dinner and once for lunch. Both times service was very slow and all items were tiny (the soup in the lunch set was literally two spoonfuls). Furthermore, the place itself is too dark (not comfy dark) and the A/C really needs checking out. The only good things about this place are that they indeed know what vegan is and the food tastes nice.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Tiny portions, Overpriced

Delicious food

Cozy Mexican style restaurant with many vegan options such as quesadilla, burrito, vegan plate and more! We had the vegan plate which is Japanese style dish and the quesadilla. Different flavours bath both delicious! You should reserve first.. we didn’t but was during a typhoon and luckily someone cancelled and we could take their place!

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere

Super tasty burritos!

Such a cool Mexican style vibe in this restaurant, excellently decorated! Very tasty food and you can see the chef preparing your fresh meals. Quite a small place only seats around 20 in the whole restaurant but a very friendly and personal feel to it. Vegetarian options for both the lunch and dinner menu. New vegetarian and vegan menu for dinner time with more options !

Pros: Vegetarian and Vegan options , Decent size portions , Fast service

Cons: A bit expensive , Have to check what time it opens as it changes

Disappointing

We were left very disappointed after our visit. Although there appeared to be a lot of veggie options on the menu, the barman informed us that none of it was available- but they could make us the nachos without cheese. We decided to have this before looking for dinner elsewhere. The portion was small and very unexciting for the price. That atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly and helpful- maybe best for a drink rather than a meal. They also had a lot of reserved tables and after checking if we had a reservation sat us at one of the few remaining seats at the bar. So it seems strange that their kitchen was so poorly stocked if they were expecting a busy night.

Pros: English menu , Helpful staff

Cons: Expensive , Lots of food on the menu wasn’t available

Great Mexican food with plenty of vegetarian options!

Great little restaurant. The decor is so cool too! The menu has plenty of vegetarian options. We had the nachos, veggie burrito, quesadilla and some sangria. Everything tasted so fresh and there is an English menu available. The nachos were maybe the highlight, the sauce was really delicious and plentiful. Really recommend, especially as there are limited vegetarian options on the island.

Pros: Lots of options , Local produce, Great decor

Limited choice

I came here because it's the only place that opens till late. There's no vegetarian menu but there are some food which are vegetarian. The staff can speak English quite fluently. I ordered Jalepanos and Salsa with Tortilla chips. Both are delicious. However, I would appreciate if there are more vegetarian / vegan choices.
