"I have given this place 3 tries. Bad experience every time. They promote that they have vegetarian/vegan options and have a specific place on the menu titled this. First time: table full of vegans, they were aware far in advance. The OWNER came to our table and told us that everything on the vegetarian section of the menu could be made vegan. I ordered the stuffed yucca and portabella mushroom dumpling without cheese. I had to point it out to the waiter because I was having trouble pronouncing the correct name, so it was pointed out, talked about, and written down. Or so I thought. As all of the food comes out, I'm starting to realize mine isn't coming. After a while we ask them about it and the waiter tells me he doesn't recall me ordering it, although everyone sitting around me remembers. The owner then comes up to me and tells me that that can't be made vegan... Luckily everyone shared their food, which WAS good food. Bad attempt number 1, but let's try again. Second time, I go in with friends, order the guacamole as it was the best thing I had last time and basically what had me interested in going back. It comes covered in cheese. I had no idea, as last time it had none on it, and despite being on the vegan/vegetarian side of the menu, doesn't note that cheese comes on it. I tell the waitress I was unaware that it came covered in cheese, she just says, yeah it does, and then asks if I want another. I say yes. I only ordered something small because I was planning on eating my fair share of guac, but she never brought it. Third times a charm? My mother and I go, and I ask for the guac and stress that I want NO CHEESE on it. The waiter asks if this is because I want it to be vegan (yay I tell him yes and he says we also put egg in it Weird...glad he caught it though. Egg and cheese in guacamole? And no note of it when it's on a section of a menu that is labeled vegan/vegetarian? I really think that should be noted... I ordered, I don't recall what, but whatever it was there was no note that there was cheese on it. Low and behold, it comes covered in two types of cheese. Super! I was pretty surprised as the vegan conversation had happened when ordering the appetizer and then he had made sure to direct the vegan special to me and the nonvegan one to my mother. When I tell him he just looks at it, laughs, and says oh yeah, I forgot about that I give up on this place, but I hear other vegans have loved it..."

This restaurant always serves fresh food and is the top choice for vegan cuisine.

We had the vegan pupusas, plantains, and yucca. Everything was some level of burnt and we were left with terrible tummy aches. It’s so close to my partner’s house, though. Maybe we would try it another time?

The Sweet Fried Plantains and Homemade Chicken Flautas were not amazing, but the Homemade Spanish Flan for dessert was definitely worth trying. The service was excellent as well. I will definitely be ordering from this restaurant again in the future! View menu

Honestly we went expecting anything amazing it is a snoball... but omg my hubby who hates snowcone items ate mine 100% the jerk... but it was so good. I got the blue berries with cheesecake and the fresh fruit was a perfect surprise. Highly recommend and want to go back!

The plantains were extremely disappointing. It's embarrassing to sell such low-quality food. The tamale was also terrible. I suggest avoiding restaurants that serve cuisine from various countries, as they are likely not skilled at making any of it. It's not worth it. I recommend shutting down the restaurant and considering a different career path.

I have to disagree with the other comment. For 8.95$, I has the biggest vegan burrito ever. It was simply delicious, and I know sometimes making tasty vegan food can be a challenge. I cannot speak for the other plates, but the one I had was fantastic. The servers are nice and the owner is simply amazing. You will be well served at this place. It is a small restaurant, nothing too cheesy or fancy, but it really delivered more than I expected personally. View menu

I ate here after reading a few bad reviews.. long bike ride tired and hungry. The food was fresh, made to order and delicious! I’m vegan.. which they offer a nice selection. I brought my son tonite and he was blown away by the food!!! Why this place isn’t pack is beyond me!! It’s El Salvadorian.., what a beautiful change! My new favorite place.. spreading the word and love!!! Thank you for the love you share in your food!!! And the guacamole.. are you kidding?!!!

Most of the vegetarian tapas can be made vegan (except the yucca dumplings). My table shared the vegan pupusas (amazing, can't say enough about how these were), the sweet corn tamale (we ordered a second, because we were fighting for bites of the first), the avocado and tomato salad (refreshing and light), and the fried plantains (good, but not as good or unique as the rest of the food we had). The place is TINY, but the servers were really friendly and helpful and the food is worth the wait! Will definitely go back next time I'm in New Orleans!
