Excellent vegan food is hard to find but they nailed it! The atmosphere and lighting are so cool and service is outstanding! I'll definitely be back, Cubano is delish!
What a cool vegan restaurant! The space inside is so cool! Amazing natural light, great colors, and tons of plants. Nice Happy Hour deals. I got the Tropical Fizzy! Shout out to them for having a fun menu of non alcoholic drinks that aren't just cocktails with Zero Proof alcohol, I love trying fun drinks but don't drink alcohol! I didn't get a jalapeño essence, but the drink was yummy anyways! The Callaloo was likely my favorite dish of my entire Denver vacation. I chose it because I'd never had it before & wow was jt a good choice! Creamy, veggies, and warming! I'd compare it to a creamy spinach artichoke dip- so would be good to dip bread or chips into. The papaya slaw was also fun to try! Papaya, pineapple, & pink!! Great balance of sweet and acidic. The quesadilla was really yummy too- and was large enough for me to enjoy for more meals. The staff were kind and welcoming! Love that they're committed to clean fresh air inside! I'd definitely come back here to try other dishes. I will say- the porta potty door to the bathroom did scare me. I was like oh no- a porta potty is the bathroom they have here (insert sad face), but luckily it was just a unique door to a real bathroom inside.
Amazing food and drinks, we tried a lot of different items and all were great! Definitely shareable. The inside was so cool. Will be back soon!
Warm eclectic atmosphere, friendly prompt service, great selection from diverse cuisines, delicious food and cocktails, who could ask for more?!?!
I give this meal a 3.5 but it has more potential so I give 4 overall. Service was also very good. We got Buss up shut, nice flavors and a little spicy that comes with tasty corn bread. Now the coconut Curry was just average, not enough flavor, lacking some salt, and the roti it came with was very oily. Add jackfruit instead of tofu, it's better.
First off this place is straight VIBES! Felt like I feel into Miami x NYC west village. Vibrant colors, trini vibes. Greta music. Ordered some food to go, normally would never check out a spot like this but my friend is going vegan. All I can say is WOW!! The coconut curry is so flavorful, we got it with jack fruit - never had it and damn it was good. They were able to achieve such a rich and robust flavor that had me coming back. Also the portions are HUGE! Always a plus imo. Also got their quesadilla that was equally huge and flavorful. Their black eyed peas where so flavorful, idk ifs like a rue or gravy but damn its good. Also the plantains were great not al sugary like the East coast. Service was great. Also have a great HH! This spot is a must try regardless if you eat meat or not.
Updated review (3.5 stars): Cubano is still fine, and mustard is still overpowering. Chips+salsa is great. Hibiscus fizzy is SO much better than the guava. Guava one is just sour, but hibiscus one is really nice, and the flower flavor comes through a lot. Way too much ice though. Also got the bakes+ranch for a side. It was kinda lame; I don't even understand why it's on the menu, to be honest with you. Just extremely dense bread with some ranch. Miscellaneous notes: Restaurant is in a really sketch part of town, parking is a nightmare, and the internet connection is atrocious. I also just strongly dislike their sorta quirky branding - especially in their voicemail - but that's personal.
