Formosa Taiwan Vegetariano - Cuenca

This restaurant offers amazing vegan Taiwanese food that is completely healthy. There are various options on the menu and a very complete buffet with sweet and typical dishes. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The venue is very quiet, with both indoor and outdoor seating options. The service is fast and the portions are large. The only non-vegan product I saw was mayonnaise. I ordered chiau fa, chiau mien, spring rolls, and two different menu options which included mock meat goulash, cassava, empanada, rice, salad, soup, and fruit juice. Overall, a great dining experience.

I ordered the mobile noodles with plant-based meat and green vegetables, and also grabbed some spring rolls for takeout. There was enough food for two people on my plate for just $3, and I couldn't even finish it all! The waitress was lovely and attentive to all her customers. It's definitely a great deal for the price, but I did find the noodles to be a bit too oily.

This restaurant is a gem of an experience that we enjoyed so much, we visited twice! The lunch menu offers a great deal - rice, soup, juice, and your choice of 4 items for just $2.75. You can also opt for the sizzling nudelplatte, served with a fried egg on top (please note, this dish is not vegan; you may need to inquire about the noodles themselves). The portions are huge and the flavors are a mix of beautiful Taiwanese/Chinese aromas (such as cauliflower) with an Ecuadorian influence (like lentils). We visited at 2:30 a.m. on a Thursday and the place was bustling with most tables full, while Saturday was more relaxed. The food is delicious and clean, not too oily (except for the optional fried empanada; choose from pineapple or vegetable filling). The server seemed overwhelmed but was incredibly kind and served with a smile, always saying "Gracias!" with a warm heart. Be patient with her as she runs around tirelessly to keep up with the rush. She truly made our dining experience memorable.

This restaurant is fantastic. Upon entering, we opted for the lunch special which was only $2.50 per person and included a drink, soup, and main course. The portions were generous and the vegetables were some of the most delicious I have ever tasted. The mock meat, soup, and fried plantains were all delicious. This is definitely my favorite restaurant in Cuenca thus far!

I recently dined at this restaurant and was blown away by their amazing vegan Taiwanese food. The menu offers a variety of healthy options, including a full buffet with plenty of vegetables and traditional dishes. The owners were welcoming and helpful, creating a comfortable and peaceful atmosphere in the indoor and outdoor seating areas. The service was quick, with generous portions served promptly. I was impressed to find that the only non-vegan item I came across was mayonnaise. I highly recommend trying the Chiau Fa, Chiau Mien, Spring Roll, and their Menu options, which include dishes like mock meat goulash, mashed cassava, empanadas, rice, salads, soups, and refreshing juices. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I will definitely be returning to.
