Great vegan cuisine--their three dips are amazing, especially their cheese.Loved the two cocktails I ordered, and given their extensive Mezcal list, I know I'll be back for more. Wonderful service, servers and manager were so kind and accommodating! And don't forget to order dessert.Dietary restrictions: Our server asked right away as we ordered, if we had any allergies.

We were very warmly greeted by a couple of the staff members when we arrived without a reservation, and were immediately seated at a table as it was pre dinner rush and there was room.They were very attentive throughout the night, checked in on us frequently and were really nice about our late third person who we waited for before ordering the food.We ordered a few things including the sweet potato tacos, the “fish” tacos, and the chorizo tacos, as well as the enchiladas and some starters, all of which were super tasty. The drinks were also super tasty! I love that we weren’t rushed out! We left saying we were really looking forward to coming back!A cu little later we got the bloat though, so I’m a little weary of something that didn’t quite sit well with us, but it was so tasty we still want to give it another try!Vegetarian options: Vegan menu so vegetarians can order anything and everything from the menu! Bon probecho!Dietary restrictions: Vegan menu so vegetarians can order anything and everything from the menu! Bon probecho!Parking: Lots of street parking when we walked up but may be a little cluttered during the dinner rush.Kid-friendliness: Big enough place and tasty food, I think it’s perfectly fine for the family taco night!

I'm Mexican and have lived in Mexico/traveled all around the country so I'm notoriously hard to please with Mexican restaurants outside of Mexico - that said, this spot is a hit. My friend and I split three orders of tacos so we could each have one of each - the jackfruit, chorizo, and sweet potato tacos. All of them were straight up fire - so full of flavor and a great combination of different tastes in each taco. Hard to pick a favorite, but I think I liked the sweet potato best. Mexican food is wonderful because there are a ton of plant based options, and Jajaja does a great job in showing that. They have fake "meat" but they also just have veggie dishes that don't pretend to be meat, and both are great. The decor here is super cute, the service is great, and the food was fabulous. Can't wait to return.

An absolute gem of a vegan mexican inspired restaurant! Jajaja Mexicana has an amazing menu of so many classic and traditional Mexican dishes, while adding their own spin of modernism! They had so many options to choose from I had to try everything! Everything I had was absolutely delicious! The space was beautiful with plants and flowers! We got here around 6pm without a reservation and it was pretty empty then it quickly filled up around 7pm! The service was amazing; all staff was quick, tentative and overall great! I'd definitely come back whenever I visit the city! ??Vegetarian options: All vegan menu

Disappointed.The bartender grabbed the ice and mint for my drink with his bare hands, when asked if he wasn’t using any gloves or tongs, his answer was “my hands are clean” drink wasn’t good either, he clearly had no bartender experience. I wouldn’t come back or recommend this place to anyone, didn’t feel comfortable, didn't like the drink, very bad customer service.

I did not do my research and I was unaware that this was a Vean restaurant. I’m not vegan but every was delicious. We had the chorizo nachos and the a latte each. I just wished the nachos were a bit thicker.

Honestly, the only saving grace of this place was the girl who waited our table, she was really nice. Besides that, a very bad experience. The food was absolutely bland and under seasoned, and also hard to digest and the drinks were way too sugary. Not going back for sure.

One of my favorite places for tacos!I've had my fair share of vegan tacos (including from multiple Michelin star restaurants), but Jajaja comes in at the top 3, hands down.They use really fresh ingredients and put a lot of thought in the details. I love their service, decor, music, and obviously the food. Most noteworthy are the tacos, but their nachos and cocktails are wonderful too. A really cute spot for a date, but you also might want to come with a group so you can try a bunch of their taco varieties!
