I think they are a little conservative with the taste to not be afraid of customers I do not appreciate. the staff was nice and helpful, eating nice, but a little bland.

The owner clearly understands veganism and even offers vegan cakes, like a real chocolate layer cake with icing. I noticed that they had previously had issues with cheese, as the "vegan queen" has been removed from the menu. The sauces and guacamole were delicious, and prices range from 28000 Kip to 48000 Kip.

However, the green sauce was delicious and we wished there was more of it. The tortillas were good, but mostly consisted of tomatoes, green chilies, and avocado with only a few pieces of tasteless tofu. It was fresh, but adding more marinated tofu would have taken it to the next level. The chorrillana was disappointing in taste, and even ordering extra guacamole didn't fully satisfy us. Overall, we enjoyed the South American cuisine but would likely skip the chorrillana next time. We also observed a mix-up with a vegan dish at another table, where the server had to be reminded by another employee. While everything turned out fine in the end, it seems like not everyone at the restaurant fully understands veganism.
