cheap & delicious! - Edit
It's 70 pesos for the buffet now, which is still very cheap for what they offer. A lot of locals eat here and it's the kind of vegetarian everyone can appreciate. We had delicious mole, a carrot cocktail (similar to what they do with shrimp, apparently), broccoli in a cheesy sauce, tostadas, salad, rice & spaghetti and the soup was amazing. I usually don't eat soup. They give you a nice flavoured water as well. I'd definitely recommend, you'd be surprised to find this in a mall! It's true that it's difficult to find, but ask anyone for "puerta G" and it's right there.

Decent Buffet - Edit
A decent buffet for 70 pesos with a drink. I arrived at 1pm, when they open, and not all the food was ready yet. There was rice, pasta, black bean sauce, vegetable soup, bread, grilled plantains, steamed veggies, beets... By the time I left, a few more interesting options had started to appear. Everything looked vegan and healthy; maybe the "greasy-spoon" items (mentioned in a previous review) arrived later.

Delicious, old-style Jarocho buffet - Edit
Since Veracruz has very few vegan/veg options, I checked this place down after a recommendation from the owner of the now closed "Olivo." Some key points: it's in Boca del Rio, a 15 minute or so taxi-ride from central Veracruz. It's also in a retro-esque shopping mall, taxi drivers won't know which side but it's easy to find once you're there.
Read moreEach time I went, the place was packed with locals and you had to sign a list outside indicating how many in your party and whether you were willing to sit with others.
The food itself is pure greasy-spoon vegetarian indulgence. Many plates contain cheese or cream, but every time there was more than enough to satisfy a vegan - great pozole, veggie chorizo, steamed greens, etc. The place has been open for more than 20 years and has a unique feel. Worth seeking out for a big buffet (keeping in mind that they close by 6 p.m.).
Pros: filling, characterful, cheap
Cons: not very vegan, out of the way
