Health conscious food - Edit
A healthy food option for breakfast and lunch. Serving size is large and filling. Right next to the ado bus station so lots of traffic at this location.

Healthy Spot With Tons of Options - Edit
Appeared to be vegetarian and mostly vegan but they do have items with eggs, dairy, etc. But 80% vegan options all clearly labeled on the menu. Cute grocery inside with some come and go items. Had the Penuchos Snack and I am not sure it was exactly as described on the menu but it was good. Mild flavors, not salty, not heavy. Staff were super nice but it’s not fast. Take your time.

I think I need to give this place another chance.. - Edit
The first time I came I asked the waiter which platter did he recommend, and he said the gorditas, well to me they tasted horrible. The second time I ordered takeout and I had the Mayan dish with pumpkin sauce, well to my surprise it was amazing, could have used salt, but still👌👌👌

Disappointing - Edit
I had the chilaquiles and it said on the menu they came with vegan cream and cheese but they didn't have that. The green sauce tasted like it was a processed product.😡One more of many disappointing food experiences in PdC.:(

So much delicious food - Edit
Came here on a Wednesday around 7. Was able to sit outside with my dog. Ordered a “snack” of Ceviche and they made it without cilantro at my request. It was a huge portion. Also ordered the quesadillas which were delicious. My husband had the Gorditas which were also super flavorful and I had the quinoa meatballs: 5 stars! They had the most amazing buttery (but not butter) tomato sauce on them. I have no idea what it was, but I highly recommend. We also ordered a couple of juices which were just ok. We had enough food to take home and have a full lunch all for $50USD with a 20% tip.

It’s OK - Edit
I had the quesadilla and it was OK, not the best, not the worst. I was expecting it to pack more flavor, but unfortunately it mostly came from the guacamole side and the dressing that had a bit too much tomato paste in it that lead it flavor more on the ketchup side.

Many options - Edit
Many options to choose from here with vegan items clearly marked. Service was drastically slow but luckily I was in no rush. I ordered the vegan pancakes and the avocado toast. The pancakes were cool but I more preferred the avocado toast. This restaurant also has a shop that you can buy vegan friendly things in.

An amazing spot - Edit
My wife and I went there maybe 10 times on our week long honey moon. Such great vegan options and an amazingly kind staff. I loved it all, the quesadillas, and hibiscus tacos were probably our favorite. All the smoothies and juices were so good too!

Great breakfast - Edit
Nice way to start the day. We went a few times and favorite was definitely the gordita filled with mushrooms. Had me full and ready to take on our daily adventures! Always nice to have a vegan pancake too.

Lots of Options, decent food - Edit
The food was not fantastic (3 stars), but decent and we loved all the veg and vegan options (4 stars). We got sweet potato fries, hummus, pad thai, tacos, and a burger. Everything was okay, but we were very happy to have found such an easy place to eat as we traveled through from Tulum to Cancun. Parking was inexpensive on the nearby streets.

A bit disappointed - Edit
I was excited to find an organic place. Not sure if the food is really organic. The juices seemed watered down. We had some rotten lettuce in our salad and they didn’t do anything about it except apologize. The ice cream was just ok. The store is great for your organic needs but you will pay import prices.

Good all vegetarian menu! - Edit
Good service and good food but they sell chicken in the store that belongs to the restaurant. The menu is all vegetarian (egg and dairy). Lots of vegan options! Liked the food and service a lot. Dont get confused with ”Maya Chichen” its not chicken. :)

Hello, the other half of the business is an organic store, that is why Organic chicken is sold at the store , not at the restaurant. thank you for noticing and for the review.

This was just around the corner where I stayed. Had an early vegan breakfast: traditional food from Yucatan, chilaquiles and some fresh spring rolls to go. I picked some goodies from the store too. Great variety.

Tiny portions - Edit
I was there with my husband and we both ordered a tofu bowl. When it came there were only 4 tiny bits of tofu a couple of sticks of sweet potato and not even a handful of noodles. The bowl wasn't even half full. I even thought that they'd split one dish into two. As.one of the most expensive dishes at 175 Mxn, we were really disappointed. Won't be going back.

My favorite in Playa - Edit
The menu is super extensive and filled with awesome vegan options. I LOVE the mochi mochi bowl, the papadzules, and the Thai veggie noodles dish. I also always love checking out the products in the store. They always have the best priced vitamin B-12 and other vitamins and supplements.

Very happy - Edit
Currently at an all-inclusive resort where I've been surviving on fruit, bread and chips/salsa. On our short 2ish hour visit to Playa Del Carmen this was a fresh breath of air! I haven't had a proper meal in a few days and this was worth waiting for. I had the tacos al pastor (vegan) and my boyfriend had the burrito. Both delicious! Mine had soy crumble and grilled pineapple. Our waiter was friendly and spoke english which was nice but we wouldn't have minded if he didn't. Dinner was so good we ordered the ice cream balls for dessert. One chocolate and one vanilla to split. No lie, it was the best vegan "ice cream" I've had in my life..I believe he said it was made from coconut yogurt which is why it was so creamy..do yourself a favor and do NOT pass up dessert! I only wish we could go back to try more. Also, very cute spot, attractive patio and cute store. Definitely visit if you are in the area.

Delicious - Edit
Many vegan options, including some raw options. You can very easily make the vegetarian dishes vegan. I had a nice juice, the guacamole appetizer was very tasty, and a specialty dish, supposedly traditional Mayan food, i cant remember exactly what its called, something like empulzeda, curry potatoes inside corn tortillas with pumpkin sauce, very delicious. Took home some chocolate vegan ice cream, very good. Would go back for sure
Read morePros: A whole menu of vegan dishes, organic store
