My sister and I stopped in Jajaja Mexicana for lunch. The restaurant is inside Whole Foods, and is in the far back of the dining area. We each had the turmeric cauliflower bowl which was absolutely delicious. We also shared chips and salsa and were able to try the hot sauces The charcoal hot sauce is a must try! I highly recommend checking out Jajaja!

Located at the 2nd floor of whole foods and it is my favourite Mexican vegan restaurant. Do not miss the street corn and enjoy the loaded nachos.

Out of 15 highly-rated places I went to in New York, my boyfriend and I agreed this was 1 of only 2 worthy of 5 stars. Nachos were delicious, with the perfect amount of toppings. Alcohol drinks (blackberry cooler & grapefruit y tequila) were excellent. Friendly staff.

Service is always great and the food is phenomenal! I loveee their horchata esp since it's not often that you can get it vegan. You can also get it spiked. Also the space itself is really pretty.

TIP: This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor of Whole Foods.Excellent experience at this new location! Even though it’s technically inside a Whole Foods, they have managed to capture the feel of the other locations in their part of the upstairs level. The Chorizo Burrito and Agave Margaritas were both fantastic, offering a wonderful insight into the bold flavors that can be produced from a vegan menu. The service was fantastic, as Jose took my order and then served my food and beverages at the bar.Vegetarian options: Menu is ALL VEGAN and incredibly delicious!!!

This place was great, especially for a late night bite after an event. With an hour left of business, (They closed at midnight, we arrived at 11) they accommodated us & we did not feel rushed. The decor was gorgeous & very elegant yet not too luxury.The drinks were good & the food was quickly served & tasty. I must admit I did not enjoy the sauce under the tamal, it was definitely an acquired taste for me. Those who were with me agreed. We had serveral different tacos which we loved & the queso fundido was a hit with the perfect kick.As for desert, we noticed all of our cheesecakes had different consistencies, again probably stemming from the fact that they were almost closing & had to thaw it out of the freezer. 1 of the cheesecakes was literally still almost frozen & had to be poked to be eaten.All in all it was an experience I would try again but possibly at an earlier time.

I was really excited to try this place. Unfortunately, the food was incredibly sub-par. I ordered the queso fundido which was $14 and was just tortilla chips with a small cheese dip, honestly it just tasted like a crappy nacho cheese dip with plain chips. Maybe I just ordered the wrong item because the other customer photos look so good but IDK if I'll be back. The cashier was very nice and she assured me the plate was a decent size but you just get a lot of plain chips.

Came here on a weekend with a couple friends - love that it's a quieter location! It is tucked inside a Whole Foods on the second floor in the back. The pumpkin and beet empanadas never miss! And our food came out very fast after we ordered. Definitely a good fast place for a quick dinner :)

This was my first time having vegan Mexican food. My friend and I shared the queso fundido. The portion of chips to dip ratio was a little off since we had to ask for my chips but the flavor was delicious. I would have that again. My friend ordered the Enchiladas Mole and I ordered the Pollo Fresco burrito. The burrito was very filling as it is packed with a lot of rice. I ordered the guacamole with it which was tiny for $3 more. My burrito came with vegan sour cream too. I had the frozen sangira swirl margarita. It was good and super strong. My last drink was the pineapple y mezcal. I asked for it to not be made spicy but you could still taste the spice. Wasn't the worst but I would drink that again. Customer service is excellent and very clean. I loved the bar set up and appreciate that they had hooks at the booths and the bar for coats/purses. The bill was about $140 which is typical for NYC restaurants. If I was craving vegan I would probably go again.
