AMAZING! - Edit
¡Buen provecho!
Read moreAfter stalking her instagram for THE LONGEST, and practically begging her to come to STL, I finally made it to NYC. For the first time in my life, I took the subway (all by myself too!), about a 45 minute ride one way just to make it to her food. I placed my order after I exited the subway (due to connectivity issues on the train). It was only like a 5 minute walk from the station to La Fonda so the food wasn’t quite ready yet. No worries. I sat at La Fonda’s bar and enjoyed the music and good vibes from the restaurant’s staff and customers.
The food took a while to prepare (I ordered a lot though), so keep that in mind if you’re on a schedule. When the young man brought my food, he apologized for the wait. It was an easy Sunday for me, so I had no issues with the wait. However, I did decide to sit at the bar and eat my food.
VACALAITO:
3 nicely sized fritters, made from hearts of palm, if I remember correctly. Very tasty! I ate my leftovers today - 3 days later, and they were even better! (Warm up the leftovers in air fryer for best results)
BEEFLESS EMPANADA:
Should’ve ordered 2 because I’m craving more. You get one large empanada. It was so tasty and the beef was seasoned exquisitely! 10/10 would order again!
(If you like a lil spice, order the chipotle sauce for dipping. So yum!!)
MOXTAILS:
Freggin fire. FIYAH!! The dinner came with moxtails (vegan/mock oxtails), white rice (they were out of their arroz con gandules), shredded cabbage, y maduros.
I added her Cilantro Garlic sauce to plain the rice and OMG OMG!! Do it!! I ended up ordering 6 cilantro garlic sauces and 3 chipotle sauces; they’re that good!
I don’t know what she uses for her moxtails, but the flavor and texture are insanely succulent. No weird chewy consistency to it at all.
Initially it appeared that the portion was small, but it ended up being very filling and plentiful. 10/10 would order again.
BISTEC ENCEBOLLADO:
A vegan spin to a classic Latin Caribbean dish. This plate is hefty! A huge portion of vegan bistec is accompanied by white rice, pink beans, tostones, y ensalada. I only took a nibble of this on Sunday, but today/Wednesday, I warmed it up and ate the rest. The flavors have settled in and it’s better today than it was Sunday.
I spent @ $75 before the tip, which is decent for 2 meals and 2 appetizers.
So many other things that I want to try from Black Rican Vegan, so I cannot wait to return!

So disappointed - Edit
Had a 5 o'clock reservation for 2, was told "wait, we're setting up for a big table." Seated at 5:20. Ordered the oxtails, the waiter came back bc there was some reason they had to be tacos instead (couldn't hear bc the music is so loud). I got tacos that tasted like tortilla. My husband gave me some of his arroz y habichuela, so took the oxtail out & put it in that & was just salty. $24 for barely any meat, 4pc of maduros & tortilla... Not happy. The emoanadilla flight was delicious. Been waiting years to have food from her & just so disappointed.
