East Germany is not known for its Mexican cuisine, but this place is decent! can not compare with California, but will remind it of a sun of a dreary evening.
The cake is the hammer! and the offer is also very fine. you will also get rich for a whole past. Conclusion: time and again.
This is as close to good Mexican food as you are going to get in Leipzig. And it’s really good (and cheap ! The variety of vegan food is impressive it’s been something like 20 years since I’ve had Jalapeno poppers what a treat. The food is also spicy and there is a salsa bar with a mild and a spicy salsa so you can flavor it to taste. The coriander salsa was delicious. We loved the Tijuana fries and Jalapeno poppers and Chicano cheezy fritters. The fries were encrusted in seasonings and nice and deep fried. The poppers had a really crispy deep fried coating and the cheese came bursting out as we ate them. We also ordered the nachos with extra sour cream and guacamole. I haven’t had cheese sauce (the liquid cheese from my childhood for decades and it was really fun to experience again. The sauces on the nachos weren’t super flavorful (cheese, guac, sour cream and the cheese sauce had a flavor that didn’t really go well with the others. But we countered this by loading the nachos with the delicious salsas. The portion sizes are HUGE and we would have been full with sharing just one starter. But we gorged ourselves and split the small nachos as well (which aren’t small! . And we took the fries home. They also offer free water, which is rare for Germany. The Lonestar Bakery is inside Atacolypse and has a wonderful selection of cakes. The devils food cake was really creamy and not too sweet, and my favorite was the orange, walnut, white chocolate cake which was sweeter and had a wide variety of flavors. Update 13 May 2018: OK now I’ve been back a few times and I have some favorites: the Texas Fajita tacos (have to ask for the hard shell and the chimichanga (it is a special so it is only there sometimes . The fajita tacos are really flavorful with varied textures between the vegan “meat” and the fresh toppings. The chimichanga was BBQ and simple, but it worked really well, and it came with a side salad with a light, fresh cucumber dressing. And we always get the jalapeno poppersI’m really enjoying exploring all of the options at this place! We brought a big group there and it worked because it was a nice day and their biggest table was available when we got there. It was hilarious because one of our friends had no idea the dinner he just ate was vegan! Beautiful outdoor seating in back and there is a bathroom. Update April 2024: so sad this place is going to permanently close at the end of the summer! Updated from previous review on 2018 05 19
