Great vegan tacos

I really like this place. Tacos are really good (I had crispy pescado and buffalo flower🌶️). Their guacamole with chips and veggies is also delicious😋

Pros: Nice staff, Everything vegan , Great desserts

Good but nothing to write home about

I got the chimichanga and my friend got the empanadas. The chimichanga was definitely good and the meat was delicious. The empanadas were okay and the sauces were very disappointing.

The serving sizes are small and it is expensive for little amount of food (per usual in NY).

It was nice, service was good. But I was not blown away.

Tasty

We tried just loaded nachos, and they were amazing. Guacamole was so nice and fresh, cheese was nice and hit the spot.
Mexican wine is not the greatest, but it's interesting to try as you don't get the opportunity too often.
Would love to come back and try other dishes.

Overhyped

I was so excited to come to jajaja and was unfortunately disappointed. We ordered guac to start and it was very small. There were only a few chips so we ordered more chips to finish the guac and they were $3 extra. For the main I got the quesadilla and it was bland and so small I was not satisfied so I ordered the jackfruit tacos upon recommendation that those were the most popular. The tacos were even more bland than the quesadilla! I had to get sour cream on the side just to add something so it wasn't so dry. It was literally plain jackfruit. My friend ordered the burrito and asked several times for no tomatoes. They brought it out twice and both times it had tomatoes. They also said the guac would not have tomatoes and it did. The servers did not seem to care that the order kept getting messed up.

Pros: Decoration, Food came out fast

Cons: Bland, Small portions, Not a good price for the size

Boas adaptações

A gente gostou do Jajaja. A comida mexicana é bem gostosa, com ingredientes como jaca no lugar da carne. Pimentas especialmente gostosas.

Mmmm

Ordered delivery from this location and I think the quality suffered from that but overall it was still great food. I didn’t love the quesadilla though.

Vegan Mexican as it should be

Got the Gorditas and Chorizo Burrito, both were delicious. Just some fresh & delicious food. The chorizo is to die for!!

Service was great. Food was prepared shockingly fast, and portions were huge! Also got the Mango Lime pie for dessert, which was heavenly.

Pros: Chorizo! Need I say more, Great service, Portions are large

Lovely waterfront brunch spot

We had a lovely brunch sitting outdoors on the patio (although our dogs probably enjoyed the walk in the nearby park more). The nachos were great, and I enjoyed the quesadilla as well.

Pros: Nice location, Friendly staff

Vegan Mexican Food

Everything was great, especially the jackfruit! Trust me, not everyone knows how to reslly work the jackfruit. The kind of place I would go back to on a night out. I had the enchiladas.

Great food and drinks!

I’ve eaten here several times. Love their non-alcoholic drinks. Food is great, only wish the portions were a bit bigger. I always leave hungry and I’m not rich to by myself two entrees so this is a 4-star place for me unfortunately. Brought a carnist friend here without telling her this is a vegan place until later on and she loved it lol.

Try the churros!

The food here is so yummy. I wanted to try everything but I got the vegan nachos, fried “fish” tacos, and the churritos for dessert. I will definitely be coming back! Good service and large space with a bar, close to the park.

Incredible!

Holy moly this place is good! The atmosphere is welcoming and fun and every single staff member was incredibly friendly & helpful. We had lunch here on a rainy September day after taking a red eye from Vancouver. The tacos we had were inventive and delicious but the nachos were the star of our meal- a huge portion that was loaded up with layers of delicious goodies. I want to return to try more!

Pros: Creative , Delicious, Welcoming and friendly

Nice place but expected something more

We ordered different tacos, some of them were excellent other were just OK. On the other side, the corn cobs were very tasty. The dessert (mexican wedding cookies) was nothing special.

As a plus, it is not expensive as to NYC standards.

More spacious than the LES

Same great tacos but this place has more space than the jajaja in the LES. Bigger bar too.
