Feedback
Me (vegetarian) and boyfriend (vegan) we’re excited to try this place because of their unique vegan menu. I ordered the vegan BBQ jackfruit panca and he ordered the vegan spicy rocoto. However, I noticed something very off about the “jackfruit” and how it seemed too much like real meat. My boyfriend also tried it and said it was probably just very good jackfruit. The bill came just to find it was rung up as PORK panca. I’m also almost certain my boyfriend’s meal was not made vegan because it had real Parmesan on it. Very disappointed and very fortunate neither one of us suffered horrible stomach problems. I don’t know how someone can mess that up when we clearly asked for the vegan menu and both verbally said and physically pointed to what we wanted.
Vegetarian choices: Jackfruit fajitas, sweet potato noodle stir fry, and numerous other vegetarian options! Dietary accommodations: Plenty of gluten-free options available.
The ambiance was fantastic, and the food was decent. The ceviche had a bit too much of a reliance on artificial lime juice rather than fresh lime juice, but it was still well-prepared. The Chori-pan burger, on the other hand, was outstanding.
Had the jack fruit tacos and a La Paloma. Loved it! I'll be going back to try more dishes.
