    Finally dined here instead of delivery. Solid vegan Mexican cuisine and drinks. The staff are friendly and decor is an aesthetic. I'm glad I stopped in on a lunch date with my friend. Great for dates or casual meetings. I sat at the bar and ordered the matcha spirit free cocktail and buffalo flower tacos with avocado. Jajaja is the best mexicana cuisine I've eaten in NY. I can compare to California in my opinion. The tacos were the perfect amount of spice and flavor served with house salsa and the bar tender gave me extra hot sauce variations. Then I drank the matcha mocktail which is not listed online and special for dine in patrons. It was smooth and sweet, made to order. This restaurant should be Michelin guided with the unique ingredients paired together. I will continue to dine here. There's interior/exterior seating but can be humid in the summer so dress light. Might be a wait time for seating so you might want to reserve online or by phone if applicable. The service is fast and restrooms are located behind bar. It's very humid in the water closet so don't spend too much time in there. The bar seating has hooks under table to hang belongings. This place has a cool vibe for dates and casual dining. Located right on East Broadway and F train infront of entrance, very convenient. Let this be first choice if in East Broadway for Mexican cuisine.

    A long time ago, I lived here when the bakery that used to be here closed and Jajaja took over. I was sad and more than a decade later, finally tried it. The customer service here is absolutely amazing. Kind, lovely people. I'm not vegan but I will come here just because it's a friendly experience. Decided to try this spot for my mom's birthday and doesn't hurt to go vegan for the day so tried a few dishes - all which were great. Chips and guac were delicious. Our party of five killed the entire dish. Crispy pescado tacos were amazing. Surprised it was squash but they made it just right. The chicken quesadilla and tacos were delicious. Just enough to keep us full. My favorite was the kids menu because the build-your-own-taco option for kids is fantastic. Great way to give them control of their own meal and feel independent. Really cute! I felt very healthy after this meal. The staff knew it was my mom's birthday and I was wondering where the check was because I asked for it a while ago. Lo and behold, they had a major surprise in store! Came out with candles and churros and chocolate chip cookies. And....a card signed by the staff. Unbelievably sweet. That sealed the deal. You got a customer in me now. Amazing experience.

    A vegan Mexican spot... incredible! I was with my sister and nieces, and this was a grand dinner experience. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, but we all grabbed a booth inside... and it looks like it's a great thing that we made a reservation! The A/C was up quite a bit, but that is literally my only bad thing moving forward. We were given menus and took a long time figuring out what to get. My sis and I shared the beet and pumpkin empanadas, which were so flavorful and delicious! There was a bit of sweetness, and the guacamole and chimichurri really set it off. My nieces got the tres amigas (chips and three dips), and the sikil pak was the best one -- I've never had it before! Entrees were the real challenge, but I decided on enchiladas verde. I loved the taste of the jackfruit carnitas in it. I tasted my sister's enchiladas mole, which had a slightly different flavor profile going on, and OMG, I wish I got that! The hints of cacao were fantastic. My niece and I shared churritos for dessert, and... omg. That coconut dulce de leche?! It was to die for. I NEED NEED NEED to recreate that. All in all, go to one of the locations and have their vegan Mexican eats. You won't regret a penny.
