    Amazing little taqueria serving 100% vegan food! Everything was super tasty and the service was also great! Just a heads up that the place is pretty small with not many covers available, so would be best to call and book in advance

    We were honestly disappointed by this place... We came here for dinner (either come early at opening hours to get a table or make sure you reserve, the place is tiny & it gets packed). We ordered 2 types of tacos and both of them weren't amazing... We felt like they were lacking in flavors & tasted pretty plain 🤷🏻‍♀️ On top of that, the place is really expensive for what you got & in our case, it was food that we didn't necessarily enjoy. It wasn't a horrible experience, therefore the 3/5 ⭐ but we won't come back again for sure.

    Very tasty vegan mexican food. The place is simple, the staff is friendly and the food is served in a generous portion size. Even my husband that is not vegan has enjoyed the food. We tried the refried beans and two different tacos: bistec & chorizo con papas estilo norteno. I certainly recommend this place 👍🏼

    (Translated by Google) Delicious food and micheladas are addictive. It was the first time I tried it and I'm already hooked. The excellent treatment of staff. We will definitely return. In addition, we need to have a good tequila ? (Original) Comida riquísima y las micheladas son adictivas. Era la primera vez que la probaba y ya estoy enganchada. El trato del personal inmejorable.

    (Translated by Google) Very cozy place. Missing menu in English, but maybe it is just an advantage that they do not cater specifically to tourists. Liked the atmosphere and the food was absolutely amazing. Also nice staff. Come back! (Original) Väldigt mysigt ställe. Saknade kanske meny på engelska, men det kanske bara är en fördel att dom inte vänder sig speciellt till turister. Gillade atmosfären och maten var helt fantastisk. Även trevlig personal. Kommer tillbaka!

    Super delicious vegan Mexican Food (mainly Tacos but also different kinds of starters and Quesadillas). We really liked the concept, the food tastes great, the staff is very friendly and it's nice to eat at a place that is conscious about its environment. 5/5, can definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Lika 2 years ago on Google
    Best vegan Mexican I’ve tried ! It is fairly cheap, sizes are good, flavours are amazing I wish they’d have desserts too and maybe some corn soup, but apart from that it was such a great food experience! Not just veggies in my taco but some well prepared mock meat ! I recommend you book a table if you come after 19:30

  • 3/5 L G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best nachos I've ever had, but they were out of 3 out of 4 cocktails (they were the reason we went but tried to make do) and the two drinks we got in the end were horrible. The waiter was nice but did not notice our drinks were untouched and we didn't want to cause a fuss. Would return for the food but would definitely avoid the drinks.

  • 5/5 Veronica A. 1 year ago on Google
    DELICIOSO!! My only qualm is that the place is too small for how delicious the food is. There were so many people who had to wait a while for a table to free up (and some of them waited a long time, which speaks to how good the food is) and some who moved on and didn’t have the pleasure of trying the food because the restaurant was so full. The Baja California tacos were by far the best and were absolutely exquisite. The nachos were also delicious. I got a michelada (my first one) and while it wasn’t my favorite, I could tell it was incredibly high quality and that someone who enjoys spicier drinks would have loved it. Amazing service as well, thank you so much!! Will be back.

  • 5/5 Jonathan F. 1 year ago on Google
    A truly wonderful experience. The waitress was amazing - she gave us travel recommendations around Barcelona and helped us with our Spanish. The food was excellent and the chef accommodated all adjustments to the order. Would give 11/10 if possible. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Magdalena S. 1 year ago on Google
    A lot of amazing choices of different vegan tacos. The variety and the taste are great. My favorite were the tofu tacos. Freshly prepared and perfectly spiced. Tried 5 different ones cause we couldn’t get enough. Service is quick and friendly!

  • 5/5 Dhiren P. 7 months ago on Google
    Great vibe. Amazing drinks. The service is fast . For vegan food - they’ve got the flavour right. We had a few tequila shots which got us going. Guacamole is great and Baja fish tacos are good too. Enjoy the images

  • 5/5 Max S. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved all of it, Place to go for vegan Tacos! Great Margaritas, big Nachos to start, tasty vegan Tacos and a really hot sauce. Friendly Chef and Staff.

  • 5/5 Elisabeth M. 4 months ago on Google
    Incredible! Did not know this was a vegetarian tacos place (i love meat) but damn this tacos were good! One of the best ones im my life! Give it a try really!

  • 5/5 Ana P. 4 months ago on Google
    This place is AMAZING! Loved the food, so flavorful, fun, delicious, amazing servicey great margaritas in a beautiful street in thr historical center of Barcelona. Can't wait to come back again.

  • 4/5 Océanne F. 9 months ago on Google
    Small place, quite casual, the tacos were good, especially the Baja California one. You have to ask for sauce if you don’t get it with your plate right away. The guacamole appetizer was good and the size was perfect, just enough for the both of us.

  • 5/5 Raido P. 6 months ago on Google
    If you feel like a tequila and some true vegan food? This is the place you want to visit at least - this is the place I want to go back. Nachos and rest of food were really good. The tequila they had was a good one - so I encourage you to drink it without salt and lemon as it was smooth enough and it was perfect. Food they offer is for humans so it was a quality you perhaps would not expect from this small place.

  • 5/5 Gatos S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is cozy and comfortable The menu is varied 100% vegan The food is delicious and the portions are large You have to try the Baja California style, Cauliflower is delicious. The waiter a boy with dilata was very nice (Original) El lugar es acojedor y comodo La carta es variada 100% vegan La comida esta deliciosa y las raciones son grandes Tenéis que probar el de estilo baja california, la Coliflor esta deliciosa.

  • 5/5 Arthur M. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious food, with very generous portions at honest prices. Special mention for the nachos, totally decadent with all the toppings. The real deal. On top of that, the owner, Lalo, is a passionate and friendly dude. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Natacha B. 4 years ago on Google
    Will def come back, the nachos were to die for!! Huge portion, delicious cheese and sauces! The tacos were also very good, especially the one with seitan. Great initiative, you guys!! Vegan mexican, what else could you ask for? :) We paid a total of 35€ more or less for the nachos, 3 tacos each and 1 drink each.

  • 5/5 Gemma B. 4 years ago on Google
    Mexican restaurant with nachos and tacos. All of the dishes we had were full of flavour and the service was very quick. There aren't a lot of seats in the restaurant though.

  • 5/5 Neolwen 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely love this place and they have the best micheladas I've ever tried (I'm half Mexican !) They are also dog friendly which is a plus

  • 5/5 Tom S. 4 years ago on Google
    Authentic vegan Mexican food. Pretty good.

  • 5/5 Omar S. 3 years ago on Google
    This place absolutely rocks!! The nachos are killer!! Probably the best and most delicious vegan Mexican food I’ve ever had so far. I went alone and I’ll admit it, I found the portions to be a little bit too big for me but it was so tasty I couldn’t stop eating either. If you’re hungry and go there alone, you will leave more than satisfied. One of the places I will go back to but with a friend knowing I won’t be able to pull it off again on my own.

  • 5/5 Lauren D. 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible selection of vegan tacos, all made to perfection! Super friendly staff. Probably the best vegan place I've visited in Barcelona. Will definitely return!

    (Translated by Google) Well, not spectacular, not bad ... well. I think that being Mexican my standards are high but it was, again, good. Thank you (Original) Bien, no espectacular, no malo....bien. Creo que siendo mexicano mis estándares son altos pero estuvo, de nuevo, bien. Gracias

  • 5/5 SarahEtLoic V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) * Delights and cute dogs * Having lived 10 years of my life in Mexico, I never thought I would one day be able to rediscover the flavors and textures of iconic dishes from the homeland by becoming a vegetarian. Especially those of the tacos al pastor, which I highly recommend. So I was more than happy to find this restaurant. If you are cute dog lovers (like Sarah), you will be delighted to see pictures of adopted dogs on a corner of the restaurant wall. In addition the manager is very nice. (Original) *Délices et chiens mignons* Pour avoir vécu 10 ans de ma vie au Mexique, je ne pensais pas pouvoir un jour retrouver les saveurs et textures de plats iconiques de la patrie en devenant végétarien. Notamment celles des tacos al pastor, que je recommande vivement. Je fut donc plus qu'heureux de tomber sur ce restaurant. Si vous êtes amateurs de chiens mignons (comme Sarah), vous serez ravis de voir des photos de chiens adoptés sur un coin de mur du restaurant. En plus le gérant est très gentil.
