Lovely people and you can notice that on the cooking. They prepare the food with so much care that everything was perfectly cooked.
Flavour was amazing!
The place is very authentic! Located in the Mercado Central.

Wonderful family restaurant

We had a great experience at tostometro. The greatest grilled veggies we have had in Nicaragua! The squash sauce is the owner's mother recipe, cilantro dressing on salad is awesome, the plates are beautifully dressed and the staff is very welcoming.

Pros: Veggies are perfectly grilled, Sauces are wonderful , Very friendly family joint

Plant based goodness

Absolutely loved this experience. We ordered the vegan burgers and while we were waiting we were given a complementary starter with carrot blinis with two punchy, creamy dressings. The burger was unlike any I’ve had before - the buns were smashed plantains and it was stuffed with roasted veggies….with extra vegetables on the side for good measure! All the flavours worked perfectly and it was so wholesome and delicious. We were then brought a dessert but it contained honey so I didn’t have any.

Pros: Healthy , Delicious , Lovely service

Cons: Honey in dessert

Great Flavour!

Honestly worth coming just for the experience to try something new! The food was delicious and very different from anything we had ever tried before! Just one Vegan option keeps it simple for ordering! We have a vegan blog www.plantbasedescape.com check us out for Vegan recommendations in central America.

Best food in granada

I loved the owner and how fresh and local everything was...the word burger probably isn't the best to describe the vegan one it's more like a very healthy vegetable sandwich with toasted platanos instead of bread and the most delicious homemade salad. So healthy and delicious

An experience for your taste buds

They serve just one thing here, the plaintain burger, and they do it phenomenally. Instead of bread, the buns are tostones. The vegan burger was full of fresh, delicious vegetables and flavorful housemade sauces. Don’t expect this to be just any old meal, it’s an experience.

Pros: Vegan option, Unique flavors, Fresh vegetables

Unique!

The vegan burger is so so good. I’ve never seen a plantain burger before so it was nice to try something new. The people working there were also really sweet. Got a free mini starter and mini dessert which also tasted great. And I’d recommend the ice tea - super refreshing! The decoration was pretty too.

Fresh and delicious

Very good idea to create burgers with plantains. I enjoyed the taste and combinations of the grilled veggies. I would add avocado then it would be totally perfect. I paid 250 cordobas

Pros: Combination of grilled veggies, Plantains

Cons: It could be served with more veggies

Expensive but small portions

Ate here today, while nice it was quite expensive compared to other places. The vegan option was basically just charred veg, but the sauces were lovely.

Paid c$300 for the vegan one which was a small burger size

Pros: Unique

Cons: Expensive

A must try in Granada!

The food here was absolutely fabulous… it’s a simple but friendly family run restaurant with basically one thing on the menu but omg is it good! The sauces are made by the matriarch of the family and are absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend enough!

Nourishing

The menu here is quite simple, there's one vegan option which is vegetables between plantains. I think it varies slightly by day, I got lightly roasted veggies on the side with nice sauces and while I was waiting for my food they brought me a few slices of carrot with their sauces to try. It was so nice to get so many fresh veggies with some flavorful homemade sauces. The team are very friendly and were patient with my terrible Spanish.

Amazing Plaintain Burger

Very inventive, feels like a gourmet dining experience, for just C$200. They only have one thing on the menu (with a choice of veggie or meat), and they do that exceptionally well. I ordered the veggie burger, also got some tiny bites to try the sauces, and a mini dessert of pumpkin jam with ginger honey. The burger came with a side of grilled veggies, but I saw that the chef arranges every plate a bit differently. The sauces were mind-blowing!

Very unique

Had the vegan "plantain burger" here, which was pretty good, but also very messy. What made the burger good was the plantain. What I didn't like was that there was only one vegan option. The staff was very friendly and hospitable, though!

Pros: Unique plantain burger, Very friendly staff

Cons: Not many vegan options

Best Dish I had so far

This Burger was awesome. It could come with fries or more vegetables because it was no so much food. One guy at another table ordered two burgers.

Pros: Vegane option, Vegetables only, Fresh

Cons: Could be more food

Delicious Plantain Stacked Burgers

First time I've eaten burgers with plantain as the buns. And they worked a treat. The veggie option was top notch. Was also given some nachos and fresh tasty sauces. And topped off with a free desert too - which was also good, but sweeeet.

Pros: Impressive veggie burgers, Tasty sauces & juices, Good prices

Good burger

Lovely authentic place with really good burger. The "bun" which is fried green plantain is so, so good and the sauce they put on the burger is amazing. I was a bit disappointed that there were only vegetables on my burger and no source of protein and still paid the same price as for the meat burgers but wouldn't complain:). You should definitely try it out!

Pros: Yummy bun and sauce, authentic, freshly prepared

Cons: No vegan source of protein

The Best Granada Has to Offer

They have one thing on the menu because that is what they do well. They don’t need anything else because it’s THAT good. For 440 cordobas including tip, we had two Jamaica teas and two vegan burgers with plantain bun. It was so unique and flavourful. Unlike anything we’ve ever had. This restaurant has set the bar high for everything else in Granada.

Pros: Service is exceptional, The music and ambience, The passion of the chef

Cons: Location is hard to find, They also serve meat, The don’t have the pumpkin jam available for sale

Amazing and unique veggie plantain burger

Delicious, family owned by the kindest people, and very reasonably priced. It’s located in the Granada market but has a very peaceful atmosphere. The vegan veggie plantain burger is fantastic, and their sauces are vegan and homemade. Vegan paradise 😊

Amazingly good and fun meal

Delicious grilled veggie sandwich with grilled plantains as buns. Very substantial and flavorful. Two delicious sauces to accompany the "Banana Burger" were an avocado sauce and a pumpkin sauce. Great ginger juice. Food prepared by a young man and his mom (I am guessing) helps with the service with lots of joy. The cafe is located in the busy central market area and its entrance is behind various street carts selling goods. Look closely and you'll find and it's totally worth it.

Pros: Delicious and fun veggie fair, Authentic Nicaraguan , Enjoyable place to be

Cons: A little challenging to find - stick with it, Some dishes contain meat

Amazing inventive meal!

Love the use of plantain as a base for the “burger” and so delicious plus a fab veggie options available. Family run business, mother and son! Lovely people, great to support a local business, especially one that creates such good food!

Pros: Veggie option (might also be vegan) , Great local spot in the market, Mother/son business

Cons: Tricky to find!
