• A must visit in CDMX

I've been in Mexico City for five days now and this was BY FAR the best food I've tasted in the city. As a vegan who doesn't speak Spanish it has been very overwhelming and discouraging trying to order and explain what vegan means, even with key words translated from English to Spanish. When I walked into Vegamo I was greeted and asked if I would like a English or Spanish menu (amazing!) The restaurant was relatively empty so I was lucky enough to enjoy the top floor to myself with a great view of the street and an adorable dog saying hello to everyone who passed by. Many people came and went to take orders to go and I spent over an hour enjoying my meal and delicious house made Limonada. The atmosphere was cozy and comforting in such a busy city. The staff spoke English and were very welcoming and friendly. I hadn't had a chance to connect with anyone about veganism since I arrived so it was great to joke about people's silly thoughts about vegan eating fish, chicken, cheese, etc. As I said, I ordered the Limonada to drink and I thought the pizza would be a good choice. They advise on their menu that certain items take longer to make, and the pizza was about 25 minutes. Time flew by and the wait wasn't a problem. The veggie pizza was incredible! The amount of veggies was amazing (nine different vegetables), the sauce, crust, everything perfecto. I ordered a Pad Thai and pesto pasta to go as well as there isn't anything close to my hotel that is vegan. They are beautiful and I can't wait to try them. Everything I ordered came to only 311 pesos, amazingly affordable with such quality to the food! This restaurant deserves much more than five stars, it was an eleven for me. Mucho gracias!
