all vegan, almost all mexican/colombian menu with a few wild cards like chicken parm š®š¹ even has vegan chicharrónes āļøas a cali girl i am picky about burritos and i thought they were good but not great. everything else i have tried has been excellent!
Had to make an account just to come and write this review. We had the big plate (can't remember the name but included most of the Colombian staples from the rest of the menu), 2 empanadas, the avocado fries, and a smoothie. So so good, would honestly have gone back if we were here longer. The arepa on the big plate was completely fresh, still very hot. Love!!!
Came here for dinner on a Friday night and was surprised to be the only table. Seems like they do more take out than dine in, but the restaurant space was nice for a casual dinner. Food was good and I really liked my margarita
The review addresses orders for delivery. When VSpot first opened almost twenty years ago, a vegan-only restaurant--featuring Latin food, no less--was an innovation, but, at least in Brooklyn, it no longer is. I'd say that, at least half the time, delivery orders are messed up. Just last night the dessert I ordered wasn't what I got. The online photos, even if the item delivered is what I ordered, don't always resemble what is provided! We're a household which has ordered delivery weekly for years, but is stopping because orders are incorrect or missing something *most* of the time If you're eating in, I'd recommend the food.

I stopped in for lunch and had a burrito and added fries. It was very good and a large portion of fries. I was very full. Will be going back again soon.
The arepas and nachos we have had here have been phenomenal, in our view (and gluten free, for those interested). Really tasty, varied, and fresh. The variety plate has also been good. The kale salad was not bad, but pretty forgettable. The place/ staff remain a bit quirky, though admittedly the prices are reflective of NYC/ the hood (i.e., yes, expensive for what in certain contexts is fast food). But the right items are quality stuff, and for that reason, it's highly recommended!
Love this place . Fast service and great pricing. Flavor is typical to Colombian food.
Visited this spot after many years and am happy to say that it has held up nicely! We ordered the four empanadas, arepas, burrito and quesadilla. Everything was great!
Stopped in here to get dinner before a show and was blown away. Itās definitely on the expensive side, but itās worth it - their chicharron in particular is awesome, havenāt had a good vegan version of that until now.
I have been coming to this place since I was little starting 10 years ago. Although it has increased in price it is worth it. The BLT has always been my favorite and introduced me to yummy vegan food

We were surprised by how expensive the food was, but it was WELL worth it. I got the combo plate and my partner got the burrito. They were both incredibly flavorful and filling. Well worth a visit.
I ordered the VSpot burrito which was good & very filling. I only wish they would mince up the mock meat in there a bit more. I added fries to my order which says is an extra $5.75 & a huge portion was served (which I couldnāt even finish) but when I got the bill they had charged me $7.00 for them. I mentioned this to the server & he said itās wrong on the menu but gave it to me for the original price. Tbh, I didnāt even need the fries as the burrito was substantial. I wanted an arepa but they charge $13.00 for one there! I grew up on arepas so I know how much they cost to make lol!! The same goes for empanadas which are $5.99 ea or 4 for $19.99. Seems kinda bonkers to me but thatās just me. I like VSpot but itās not a place I run to often. The Philly cheesesteak looks like it got nixed off the menu as well. #Veganuary
I've eaten here many times and most of the menu items are great. Especially love the Chk'n Parm Sandwich. The service is pretty hit or miss, and they raise prices without updating their online menu sometimes, but the food is worth these annoyances.
Great food, good portions, helpful staff. The online menu and payments system made it quick and easy as well.
Mexican and Colombian food. Quick and easy digital order system by the table. You cannot tell all is vegan, real cheesy flavors! Not very big portions so order a few dishes. Quite loud music in an ok facility.
