Forever - Roma

Awesome place especially for breakfast! I went 4 times during my trip in Mexico City. The eggs are to die for! Try the Enchuladas or huevos rancheros and add chorizo if you like them a bit spiced up. You won't believe they are not real.

I wanted to love this place but I was disappointed.

The cheese on the nachos was runny like water. Not nearly enough toppings.

The burger I ordered was 80% bread bun and 20% burger, which is a shame because it tasted good.

The ambience is great. they have a upstaris asian style sit on the floor type lounge....

but the food is not great..and overpriced....the cheesecake was edible at best....and insanely overpriced $80....the burgers i've tried have not been great...the protebello mushroom 'burger' is kind of a joke...just some cheap bread with mushrooms thrown on, lettuce and tomatoes..and some vegan cheese...not much thought went into it...bread was soggy from the moisture from the mushrooms....

the forever hamburguesa (made from a bunch of grains and beans) was ok..nothing i would order again....bread was good.....

food is not worth it....but great for working remotely..

my journey continues to find great or even decent vegan food in mexico city..

Fantastic food! Chilaquiles to die for, and wow the cauliflower tacos!! vegan clamato! I liked it so much I went twice in 5 days!

Comi por primera vez en el Forever, que experiencia.
esta ubicado en un edificio antiguo hermoso en la Roma, subimos al segundo piso y nos sentamos en un lounge con mesas en el suelo y cojines como si estuvieramos en Japon.
El Sandwich de Portobello Gratinado y el dragon Bowl espectaculares, tambien el latte de almendra y cheesecake de guayaba deli.
Lo recomiendo mucho!!

Delicious healthy vegan food, beautifull location, quinoa risotto & sweet potato soup my favorites. For breakfast the "a-huevos chipocludos" tofu scramble & mushroom mix in chipotle sauce with melted cashew cheese and acaí bowl. Delicious "lechita de la india" mix of coconut and cashew milk with cardamom and homemade nutella smothie with almond milk. yumminess

The staff was friendly, but the food was pretty awful. The nachos hardly come with anything on them and they're super stale. The French fries were half hard and half soggy with the paprika was caked on. Their main burger patty has something pretty hard/unappetizing in it. They had a peanut butter torte and it was also awful. It didn't taste like it had any sugar in it. Then they had topped it with a really old looking strawberry. My boyfriend's dish said it came with beans and it literally had about four beans on top. All over its overpriced for the awful food you get. Don't waste your time or money. My boyfriend and I left both pretty hungry because the food was so unbearable.

Un tarde de explociones de sabores, colores y olores. De los platos que probe no se que fue mi mas favorita..... Para chupar mis dedos y un seguro de regresar con mucho ganas!

expensive, small portions, bad service, lack of taste, bad cooking, I could go on and on

One of the best burgers ever! I was welcomed and given an English menu. I ordered a glass of rosada wine ($55) and the quinoa burger special edition ($145), which means besides the guacamole, chipotle mayo, caramelized onions and spinach on the quinoa-corn patty, there were also tempeh bacon and melted vegan cheddar spread on the bun. I really enjoyed this burger! It came with a dark-green salad with cherry tomatoes, raisins, sunflower seeds and pecans. Other mains on the menu include: Forever burger (beans, almonds, carrots, etc), raw pizza, stuffed tempura poblano pepper, wrap, raw pasta pesto, creamy pasta, dragon bowl and quinoa bowl. Appetizers (called Entrées) include tempura cauliflower tacos, pulled-jackfruit tacos, hummus, raw ceviche (marinated young coconut meat), nachos, nuggets (for kids), sweet potato fries. There are salads, three soups, artisanal beers, wine, agua-del-dia, lemonade, kombucha, coffees and more. I wish I had more time in Mexico City, so I could eat at Forever many more times.

It accepta all Credit cards, including AMEX. Tasty, big portions and Everything vegan. Service was a Little bit slow and place is noisy since tables are outside, but generally Ok.

Mexican and international vegan dishes

I went there twice because I loved the ambiance of the place. I tried their coconut ceviche (7/10 needed more lemon, herbs and salt) and raw pesto pasta (5/10 had no pesto, just chopped basil, and barely had any nut cheese on it, not salt enough). For dessert I had the raw chocolate ganache cake and it was perfect. I tasted the cheesecake the second time and it was pretty good but too sour (I think they used unripe blueberries). Overall good service, good prices but value isn't so good - the food doesn't seem to be made with love.. Or perhaps we visited on a day where the chef wasn't feeling too good - it happens! Great menu though, I'd go back for sure :)

The restaurant is set in an amazing "gaudiesque" Building in the Roma district. Beautifully decorated Forever features a second floor chill lounge where you sit down to eat in low tables on cushion seating, you are immediately transported to some ancient eastern fairytale land. Food is delicious and satisfying and the staff was very friendly.
The Cauliflower Baja tacos are a must, as well as the Chile Relleno! Also the guava Cheese Cake was delicious!

I liked this place, but it was a bit too good to be true. The burger I had was decent, but a bit formless and mushy. The tofu scramble was tasty and I'd have it again, but it was missing a little oomph... basically just silky white tofu that wasn't nicely browned or creatively prepared. I guess my experience is similar to others who found it decent but still lacking something.

I still think it's a great place and will go back to try more, but I think a bit of creative direction in the kitchen could lead to some more impressive plates and a killer brand. They've really just opened so it may take some time to get things right.

Depending on the day, you can get a fresh delicious vegan meal or a completely prepacked refrigerated non fresh meal. So if you're feeling lucky go for it. As said, some days it's really good.

I was stoked to go have some vegan American comfort food after six months traveling in the Mexican countryside.

We were first shocked by the extremely high prices (relatively). After paying $15 for incredible vegan tacos at Por Siempre, seeing two tacos for $55 and veggie burgers for $125 was a bit of a shock. We decided to splurge though and both got an expensive sandwich (veggie burger and rueben). Ruebens were one of my favorite sandwiches when I ate meat, so I'm always stoked to get a veggie one.

Well! First of all, we waited quite a long time for our food. No biggie, it's Mexico and we've learned to drop our entitled American service attitudes. But then we realized that they'd taken our plates over to these two girls who were photographing the food so they could take pics while we waited! I'm not one for wasting food, so I ate it anyway. One might imagine that the food they made for promo photos would have some extra love. Hopefully not because our food was fairly mediocre. The burger was extremely lacking. My wife paid an extra $25 for avocado and tempeh bacon and got a couple small slices of avocado and three shriveled, flavorless pieces of ordinary tempeh. It came with sweet potato fries, which were decent.

The rueben was a bit better, but still lackluster. A proper rueben should be stuffed and messy, but this one was very stingy. The best part was the veggie chips that came with the rueben. These were delicious, although you won't like them if you don't like a lot of salt like we do.

They did bring out free aguas de sabor "for the wait", but the whole photographing thing was still pretty tacky.

Service was very friendly.

Some of the food here was tasty and some wasn't. The cauliflower tacos were very tasty and very fresh. The gnocchi was fried which I have never seen before but it wasn't too bad. However, the tofu in the quinoa bowl was mushy/soft and lacking flavor. My reuben was also just ok, but nothing to write home about. I think it really depends on what you get as some stuff is pretty good and other stuff is just mediocre. The ambiance is nice though with nice design. Service was also a bit spotty and slow. My mom's food came out 10-15 minutes before ours and I had to go in and ask where our food was because I thought they forgot the rest of our order. They do have an English menu.

Very nice place, I had the cauliflower tacos and lentil salad and a green juice. All quite tasty.

I've been traveling in Mexico almost three weeks, and this is the first all-vegan restaurant I've been to.

This is a casual restaurant in a hip neighborhood. We took a break from exploring the anthropology museum to hop in a cab an come here for lunch

We had the vegan nachos, Reuben sandwich, veggie burger, aho lemonade, and topped it off with coffee and the chocolate ganache cake. Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. We're often disappointed by the portion sizes in vegan restaurants, but not here!

The price was a bit more than we've paid at other places in Mexico, but completely worth it. I'd come back again without hesitation.

Was pretty excited to come to this place. Upstairs the seats are closer to the ground similar to a Japanese restaurant and there's hare Krishna music playing in the background. So a nice relaxing funky and hip atmos. The menu is only in Spanish so if you can't speak or read it well, you will need to get your google translator out! Sadly our lack of Spanish and the staffs lack of English created a bit of confusion with our order... And we didn't get quite what we wanted. In the end we were served the la khaleesi (salad) half portion 60pesos, full portion Mac n cheese 90pesos, and a beer and aho lemonade. The salad was a real let down... Said quinoa and marinated tofu with kale and nuts etc... What we got was lots of kale, a miserable sprinkling of quinoa and 3 small pieces of tofu! It's the first time is had a vegan Mac and cheese and I was impressed... Great with the chili sauce. Not a fan of the aho lemonade - not refreshing like I was hoping. Finished off with vegan ginger and berry cheese cake for 75pesos.. This was ok at best. I think it's generally very over priced for what you're actually getting.

Served hotcakes to my nephew but wanted to charge extra for syrup. Chilliquilles were good but not that much food. Kindof high for prices for what you get

This restaurant in Colonia Roma has great options and the neighborhood is very fun. They have breakfast starting at 9 am. I had the wrap in a corn tortilla for dinner with extra tempeh bacon and the flavors exploded in my mouth. The tofu was marinated to perfection. The side chips were nothing special.

The cheesecake with red berry topping was not overly sweet and very filling.

The staff is nice and very knowledgeable and they have raw options.

They make their own cheese.

Next time I'll try their Reuben sandwich.

Pricy for Mexican standards, but worth the price

Forever is a perfect vegan escape in Mexico city. They offer everything from breakfast to desserts, raw food, full plates, sides, snacks and everything in between. Honestly I can't believe how well-prepared and varied their dishes are and it's well-worth the price (although it isn't cheap). The atmosphere and location are really nice too and it's simply a wonderful place to hang out!
