A fantastic restaurant and shop with great vegetarian and vegan food. You should definitely have a breakfast there and enjoy pancakes with vegan ice cream.

Incredible vegetarian restaurant! - Edit
I’m not sure if they changed their menu, but this place is now 100% vegetarian and can make almost all menu options vegan. They had a variety of great options that were flavorful and filling. Highly recommend!

A love & hate relationship with this place lol - Edit
I use to always come here, but I have a love and hate relationship with this place. I use to order their enchiladas with chorizo for delivery and they would always replace the vegan chorizo with egg which is extra and which I don't consume. Also I realized that each time I would eat the veg chorizo I would feel very bloatted after, so I stopped going. Some of their meals are really good like their teriyaki bowl, and nachos, oh and their horchata is amazinggg! I recently went back for desert and I am happy to say, they have improved their desserts so I can imagine they probably improved their whole menu.

Natural vegan options - Edit
Another place that was recommended to me a lot so we had to check it out, this vegan & veggie restaurant also has a little supermarket inside. I went for the pastor tacos - before this trip I thought I wasn't really a fan of pineapple but I ate it pretty much every day in Mexico! These tacos were really good, I was only a little distracted by the guest sitting at the table next to us 😂

Would give 5 stars if possible - Edit
This place has so many options for vegans, making it super hard to choose what to eat / drink! We picked 3 plates to share - the nachos, pita bread and soy tacos. All 3 were amazing (you HAVE to try the vegan nachos - but be aware the portions are huge!). Staff are super friendly and there is a supermarket/ food store inside with all sorts of vegan goodies. A great little spot!

Wanted to give 5 stars - Edit
The taste and textures of this vegan pancake were mind-blowing, mixed with a super-friendly waiter Antony. Super Salad is also 5 stars, deserves to be top 3 in Playa Del Carmen for quality and taste

Not very good - Edit
I ate at a Bio & Natural in Tulum last week and had the avocado toast and Aztec Salad. They were both pretty good so in a pinch because Playa del Carmen is less vegan friendly than Tulum I decided to try them again. This time was really off the mark. I got the guacamole appetizer and the soy pastor tacos. The serving of guac was tiny compared to what I had been getting here in MX. The tacos were sad limp tortillas with cold little soy nuggets and some diced onion. The tacos were totally cold. I had already waited a very long time for them so decided not to ask to have them heated and eat and get out. Some of the most disappointing food in MX so far. I would only go back here if there was no other option.

Bad experience from start to finish - Edit
Waiters that act like the tips is due even though the service was terrible...
Read moreVery bad communication with the waiters as we speak Spanish and they answer and speak to us in English... They could adapt to the customers, not every customer is American...
I ordered the hamburger which is accompanied with potatoes. I asked for salad instead of the bread. I ended up with only salad, no potatoes and the cherry on the top : the veggie steak is simply disgusting and has an awful taste !
The food is expensive for the quality and the quantity in the plate.
You can eat way better vegan food in other restaurants in Playa.
It was a very bad experience and I'm unlikely to come back

Okay but expensive food - Edit
We went here twice - once for breakfast where I got the pancake sensation, which honestly, I feel bad for saying, but I couldn’t finish them as the pancakes were so bland and dry. Not very sweet. But my boyfriend loved his protein bowl. Then we both got the burger which was nice when I started eating it but then I couldn’t finish because the mushroom flavour was actually really overwhelming. The potatoes on the side were good but I don’t like that thing of throwing loads of paprika over chips (fries) because again, it just tastes overpowering. The prices were really quite high which I wouldn’t have minded paying as much had I actually enjoyed the food.

Please watch out for credit card problems - Edit
I bought some items in the shop, paid by credit card. Guy at the counter and his boss insisted that I hadn’t paid, even though I could show them online that the money had been taken from my account. In the end they let me leave with the items, because I refused to pay again. Very embarrasing and umcomfortable

Great vegan options clearly labeled on the menu. Wonderful outdoor seating and is open later than some of the other vegan-friendly restaurants nearby. I highly recommend the banana split, I think it's the best banana split I've ever had!
