La Chia Vegana — Restaurant in Lake Worth Beach

This restaurant moved to a new location in Lake Worth Beach in Dec. 2023, so I would suggest reading reviews after that time for a more accurate depiction. We are so excited to find this cute place and the owner is very nice - Puerto Rican by way of NY - which is why the menu has a latin flair. It's a very small vegan restaurant with two large tables and 4 bar-top seats along the front window. The food is delicious, but it can take a long time to get your order. My husband adores their buffalo mac 'n cheese! It's pretty spicy so if spice is not your thing, you could order it without the buffalo. I love the arepas and the acai bowls. The nachos are so good too. LOCALS TIP: You have to try the empanadas! They are not on the online menu because of limited supply. You have to buy them at the restaurant. Yum yum!! PARKING: There is no parking. The first time we were on our bikes and the 2nd time I was picking up, I parked illegally. (yikes!) It would be great if there was parking off the alley and a bike rack out front. I would suggest parking along the street In the neighborhood behind the restaurant or on the other side of Dixie on the street and walk across. It’s worth it! 😊

UPDATE: We ordered a lasagna, gluten-free and vegan for our Christmas dinner with our family and it was...

I was looking for a vegan restaurant and to my surprise La Chia Vegana popped up in my search. I’m originally from the Lake Worth area and I would have never imagined there would be a latino vegan restaurant here!

The restaurant front is located on the main road so if you drive fast you might miss it. Street parking seemed a little sketch but luckily there is a public parking garage near by (ParkMobile app).

The place is small, homie and really cute. The customer service was good and welcoming. First I ordered the green smoothie and it was good and refreshing. We had an beeph empanada and Mexican corn, which was a great way to start our delicious meal. I’m Puerto Rican and couldn’t help but see that they had a “Bórica Bowl” on the menu, so I had to order it. It has quinoa con gandules and Jack fruit meat. It’s incredible how the quinoa con graduales and the Jack fruit meat had an authentic taste to it. I wasn’t expecting it to taste as good as it did, but damn it was delicious! Before leaving I had to get a dessert, and let me tell you, the coconut guava cake hit the spot! Will def come back to this place. Support local and...

I love acai bowls, try new ones everywhere I go and always give small businesses a shot. I was so disappointed by this one. First, when I walked in and stated I was there to pick up my order, the guy did not utter a single word. He just looked at me, tied the bag, and handed it to me. Is this how people just do business now? No one greets you but they talk to their friends that come in or the other staff very friendly, they don't say hello, here it is, thanks for stopping by, just blank stares. It's not welcoming at all. It makes a person feel like you'd rather not have their business. There's another place I usually get my bowls from when I'm in the area and believe me giving this place a chance was disappointing knowing that I could've went there. As for the bowl, it was nothing special, didn't have much fruit on it, and melted pretty quickly. I didn't take a picture of it because there was nothing to take a picture of, it was so ugly. Maybe something else tastes better but I'll never know. Edited to add that I had a very hard time finding the place, didn't see a visible sign from outside to confirm that I was going in...
