Jajaja Plantas Mexicana - Review - New York - The Infatuation
"If you’ve never had vegan Mexican food, or just want to try the best, check out JaJaJa. The popular spot has multiple locations across Williamsburg, the West Village, Hudson Yards, and the Lower East Side. “You would be surprised how many Latin Americans frequent our restaurants specifically because they are plant-based and want to enjoy flavors they grew up eating,” say owners Nima Garos and Koorosh Bakhtiar. While Garos and Bakhtiar are actually first-generation Iranian-Americans who fell in love with Mexican culture after spending summers in Cuernavaca throughout their youth, their chef, Rufino Colex, is originally from Puebla. Order everything from jackfruit tamales, flan, and coconut queso quesadilla, to the excellent meat-free chorizo. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
