Friendly staff alright food - Edit
The staff here was very kind to me and my friend with the questions we had. I ended up getting the mediterranean seitan which had good flavors but the seitan was wayyyy too spongy for my liking, I also felt like the rice that went with it didn't match the dish. HOWEVER after dinner we split the desert which was a vegan tamale with berries, it was amazing and the texture of the tamale was almost fluffy. I highly recommend asking about the desert option if you go because that was the highlight of my experience there.

Underwhelming - Edit
The cauliflower Tacos were okay, but really underwhelming compared to other vegan tacos I had in Mexico, we waited a long time and were served after many guests who arrived after us. Staff was incredibly kind.

Surprisingly delicious - Edit
Weren’t planning on going here but glad we did! They have a well-sized and clearly labelled vegan section. Got to try some great food - tlayudas and tamale with mole. Especially enjoyed the tlayuda, the mole tamale had an interesting flavour but was tasty.

Great late night vegan option - Edit
The menu is well marked with a number of vegan options. We had such a nice dinner we can back again! The guacamole is really good, the tlayuda was like a Mexican pizza and well seasoned and good portions, both tacos are good, and tamale with mole was also good. Nice atmosphere with excellent service!

What a gem! - Edit
I wish we’d tried this place sooner. They have clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu. There’s an even split of Oaxacan and Italian. I had the pozole and tacos al pastor (seitan). The lovely little patio is so cozy. And the staff were delightful.

Unexpected Deliciousness - Edit
Such a beautiful vibe this candlelit restaurant has. Great vegan options, including on the dessert menu. My son got the el pastor tacos, which had pickled onion, pineapple, and cucumbers on the side. I got the tlayuda with beans, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and vegan cheese. We couldn’t pass up the dessert option: a chocolate tamal. Wow, everything was delicious and the service was awesome too.

Excellent - Edit
Lots of vegan options, soups, salads, desserts, pastas and local - most importantly all is marked very clearly. Prices are ok, noce music and garden to sit in. Meals were delicious. Dessert was wierd but only because we did not understand what we were ordering. Overall we had a great dinner.

Tasty vegan options - Edit
We had soups and mains and the whole time there was nobody else in the restaurant.
Read moreThe soup were both very tasty and I enjoyed my spaghetti primavera very much too.
They are an Italian restaurant mixed with some Mexican dishes, no pizza’s. They have plenty of vegan options and even a dessert.
Pros: Very tasty food, Friendly staff, Clearly stated vegan options
Cons: Not fully vegan

My pasta with soy bolognese honestly tasted like packaged food heated up. - Edit
They could work with more fresh ingredients. I would expect from an italian restaurant that they make their own tomatosauce for example.

A lot of options and really tasty - Edit
A huge selection of vegan options and a great atmosphere to the restaurant! As some people mentioned, the prices are a bit strange- some things are a deal and some seem overpriced. But the quality and flavor of what I had was excellent. Will definitely go back to try more of the menu.

Lovely place for Mezcal and Food - Edit
We wanted to try the Tamal de Mole, Guacamole (with chips), and the Mezcal Espadín. Everything was really fun and tasty! The tamale was beautifully presented on a grape leaf and a side salad while the guacamole came with chips that were baked (rather than fried) to a minimally oily perfection! Smaller portions are on the small side, but getting the Mezcal really makes you enjoy the food in a slow, more appreciative way.

Served meat as a Vegetarian - Edit
The service was terrible. Very rude and dismissive service from who I believe is the owner. This man served me meat after I specifically asked for a vegetarian meal. He was too arrogant and dismissive to have paid enough attention to me when I tried to confirm via pointing to the Gnocchi meal I was ordering on the menu (which was vegetarian).
Read moreInstead, I was served the alternative Gnocchi option which was not vegetarian. It was only after tasting the meat, that I realised it was not correct. I chose this Resturant based on the fact that it has vegan and vegetarian options. Had the owner been more understanding I would not have complained but his reaction to my question as to what was served to me, was rude, arrogant and belittling. He yelled at me and would not accept responsibility when I tried to tell him that I had attempted to confirm my order with him but he was too dismissive and ignorant to pay attention. I was completely shocked with his behaviour.
Cons: Bad service , Bad food, Bad hygiene

Update December 2019, Still has many great vegan options - Edit
On two different visits, I had seitan fajitas and spaghetti primavera. The seitan fajitas were not what you would think. Seitan and veggies cooked in a tasty sauce with rice on the side. The spaghetti was outstanding. Both dishes are highly recommended. Also had salads, which are outstanding. Just the right amount of dressing, flavorful and inventive. Even more vegan options than last year. Basically restaurant is Italian-Mexican fusion. Vegan options clearly labeled. Best option in Oaxaca for vegans, by far!
Read morePros: Lots of options, clearly labeled, Delicious, English spoken, although occasionally reluctantly
Cons: Not the cheapest, Avoid the street dogs hanging around, Can have a lot of street noise
