Joaquina is the best vegan chef I know in Puerto Escondido, she can make any dishes out of anything in her fridge. It’s like magic what she can do! Her warm personality is an added bonus

Juaquina is the chef/owner here and is extremely helpful, fair priced and friendly. She is a wonderful person and serves great food. It’s her first year as an established restaurant and she is super popular for vegetarian and vegan food. She is super accommodating and will make things custom order with advanced notice. Great falafel and fantastic hummus. Vegetarian Veggie Burgers were awesome. She is a vegetarian herself and cares about the quality of the food.

Joa puts SO much love and care into her cooking and only uses the best ingredients. It's the best deal in Puerto, Vegan food or not. If you're not Vegan, you will still have one of the best meals you've ever had, especially for the price. I highly recommend this place!

Looking for tasty, home-made cooking style vegan food on a budget? Look no further. Went there with the family, everything was made from scratch. Soup, burger patties with rice, salad, hummus with veggies, "ratatouille", dessert!! 100 pesos!?! Even hot sauce was made on the spot from scratch. Lovely lady owner. Go support.

An excellent vegan restaurant with unbeatable value for money! El menu del dia for just 100 pesos changes everyday, and every dish is absolutely delicious. The portions are generous, and the quality of the food is outstanding. Joaquina, the owner and chef, is super friendly and passionate about what she does. You can feel all the love she puts into her cooking. Every day is a new culinary discovery. Highly recommended! A must-visit for vegan food lovers.
