Awesome burgers - Edit
There are four different vegan burgers here. They only had two types when we were there but both were great. Served with a generous helping of fries. The prices were good at 70 for a burger and fries. Definitely recommend!

THANK YOU! - Edit
I went to this restaurant twice during my stay in San Cristobal de las casas because it was sooo good.
First I had the hamburger "La Elemental" which was reaaaaly good! The second day I chose the "Al Pastor" which was also really delicious but hard to eat. I ended up not that "ladylike" during eating this burger Haha.
The agua de mora and de fresas was also super good and was fresh made. The kitchen is completely open so you can follow every step of the cooking process if you want to and the staff is really nice
Pros: Super delicious, really friendly staff, It's good value for money
Cons: not that many seats, a few more vegan options would be good

pasta great - Edit
Really great vegan pesto pasta. I wished I'd been around for longer to try more foods there. They didn't have any vegan deserts when I was there so I was a little sad about that but it had a great vibe

Vegan christobal de Las verde - Edit
After some rough times finding decent vegan food in Mexico, we decided to visit this wonderful establishment. Every single dish we ordered was delicious! The food was comforting, the materials were top notch and the juices were fresh. We ate every single morsel and loved it to the end. Highly recommended for you desperate, fellow vegans. After getting somewhat tired of eating tortillas and frijoles for breakfast, lunch and dinner (...) we were happy to find a place with a variety of dishes, such as delicious pasta and 4 different types of vegan burgers :)

excellent, copieux et raisonnable - Edit
avec sa petite cour intérieure, ce resto veggie-vegan est mon endroit favori à San Cris. j'y suis aller 5 fois et testé les burgers avec les frites maison ( excellentes et croustillantes à souhait), le curry, l' enmolada (seul bémol sur ce plat parce que le fromage pas vraiment fondu, du coup un peu décevant, Mais le mole excellent. peut être à tester en version vegan avec les champignons plutôt que le fromage?) des jus et aguacate dressa ou avec lait végétal d'amande ou de coco. bref, C'est beau, C'est bon et on peut s'en sortir pour moins de 100$ pour un plat et un jus. les portions sont copieuses, ce qui est rares pour cette qualité et ce prix!
Pros: la qualité des produits et la presentation, végétarien, pas de viande ni poisson, le cadre et le priw
Cons: Si vous voyez manger tout les jours pdt 15 jours v

My favourite place in San Cristobal - Edit
This was my favourite restaurant in San Cristobal and I ate here several times. Most of the food is vegan (and clearly marked on the menu) or can be made vegan. The burgers, tacos and veggie curry are all great but my favourite dish was the vegan pesto pasta. So delicious! It's a very nice and cosy place to sit. Service could be a bit slow i.e. sometimes very difficult to attract staff's attention but nothing too bad. Only other suggestion would be that it would be great to have a wider selection of hot drinks i.e. different types of tea, hot chocolate.
Pros: Great food, Heaps of vegan options, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Service could be improved

Tacos Al Pastor! - Edit
We ate here almost every day. Couldn't get enough of the fresh, delicious vegan tacos al pastor: at 15 pesos a taco, you can't go wrong. Also tried the cordon bleu, burgers, juices and fries.
Pros: Excellent fresh food, Good music , Great value

Great food and many vegan options! - Edit
The menu is available only in Spanish but is easy to understand and vegan options are clearly marked. Even though some dishes are not vegan, they can be made vegan which is also clearly stated on the menu! Which basically makes 95% of the menu vegan (yes!!). I had enmoladas and my friend had cordone bleu. They were both great and quite filling. We also had vegan cookies for $15 (6) which were nice but very hard...wouldn't recommend them (unless you need something for self defence) but everything else was fantastic :)

Delicious - Edit
The food is delicious. I loved the cordon bleu and the couscous was a treat considering we haven't seen any since we came to Mexico.
The place is open and bright with lots of plants around and an open kitchen. Very nice.

Good vegan lunch/dinner - Edit
They had a decent sized menu with all vegetarian and many vegan options. About half of the dishes on the menu were vegan. Most of the food was not local or at best a fusion. They offered 3 veggie burgers (all vegan) and some pastas as well as tacos, etc. I tried two of the veggie burgers on different visits and they were both very good. You also got either a small salad of leafy greens or french fries with the burgers. My dad ordered the vegan tacos and they were very bland - I would not recommend those. The serving portions were decent but not filling.
The kitchen was entirely visible from the seating which gave it a very homey feel. I don't think they opened for lunch until 1pm.
Pros: pleasant environment, friendly staff, wait staff knew a little english
Cons: portions could have been slightly larger

Delicious menu, cute venue. - Edit
I ate the soya burger and it was amazing with sprouts, beetroot and carrots with a healthy portion of fries. It was delicious and I couldn't resist their vegan cookies for dessert. I have had to fight myself not to just eat there every day that I'm in San Cristobal! Looking forward to trying the enmoladas and vegan brownies next time!
Pros: Great food, Cute venue, Good location and value

Delicious , tasty burgers and more - Edit
This was a happy accident. We were strolling along, looking for the post office when we spotted the 'veggy' sign on the front of this little cafe. The menu looked great, so we forgot our postcards and sat down to a very tasty lunch of sopa del dia, on this day it was mushroommmmm, followed by some vegan tamales and an Elemental (soy) burger, one of 3 burger choices. Truly scrumptious and the texture of the burger was so satisfying, unlike the squishy tasteless potato stuff which is often served as a vegeburger. The chips are the best we've tasted in Mexico and the salads are fresh and huge. Drinks are aguas and smoothies, a choice of beer or wine.
They serve a menu del dia on Thursdays at 80 pesos.
We returned a couple of days later and our choices were equally good and tasty. It's a shame that they close at 9pm, but it's a great place for lunch or early dinner. The staff are friendly and there's a good intimate ambience as there are only a few tables. The food is cooked in an open kitchen at the back of the cafe. Both times we ate at Te Quiero Verde there were both Mexicans and foreign tourist customers.
Highly recommended. Gracias.
Que rico!
Pros: Tasty vegan and vegetarian food, Ambience, Staff
Cons: Some people may want to eat later.

san cris - Edit
For vegans, they serve 3 different burgers, pastas, tacos y an indian plate... About the half of the menu. I Appreciate the soya burger (with avocado), acompanied with a guacamole with tortilla. The staff is helpful. The restaurant is easy to find and near everything.
I regret they hadn't the desserts of the menu.
Pros: vegan choices, location, inexpensive

Vegan Brownies_YUM! - Edit
This place is great! Had the curried coconut vegetables and the arroz integral…yum. My husband had the lentil burger with lots of veggies on it and it comes with the best real potato fries. Ask for ketchup and the salsa verde. Had ginger tea and a vegan brownie for dessert. All fresh ingredients, nice people running it and great music on the stereo.
Thank you Te Quiero Verde. New Hours 12-8pm.
Pros: fresh food, great music playing, nice space
Cons: would love it to be open for breakfast!

Perfect - Edit
Te quiero verde was my cantine in San Cristobal. I used to go to the Ninos Heroes place but they have another one on Guadalupe named Naturissimo (same menu but not as cute). Food was amazing, service perfect and music just addictive. I loved the place. My favourites: Habibi and Taj Mahal burgers, the vegan brownie, the vegan tacos and the calabacitas soup.
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Heaven - Edit
My sister and I were so happy to come across this place and decided that it was most definitely one of the best vegetarian restaurants we'd ever eaten at, if not our new favourite. The staff are too sweet and it's apparent that all of their food (freshly made with the kitchen on display) is made with so much love and care. Their burgers were amazing and we became totally addicted to their cookies. Plus their hummus is to die for. We returned here again and again and were sad when we had to continue our travels to less vegetarian friendly towns. This is without a doubt the best vegetarian restaurant we found in Mexico and we had some of our favourite meals in 2 months here. Good food, lovely people, relaxing and light atmosphere, we wish them all the best for the future!
Pros: Fresh clean tasty food, Wonderful staff, Light atmosphere

yes, yes, yes! - Edit
Could not have been happier to return to the city and find this new place which has come around to inject some life into the Sancris veggie scene. Great location, inviting atmosphere, and as others have mentioned, just very positive energy overall. Most of their items are vegan and the rest can be made so with a few changes. Mexican specialties like tacos and tamales as well as more exotic dishes like couscous and Indian rice. Also serves wine and excellent smoothies/juices. Highly recommended, support this place!
Pros: delicious, friendly, great atmosphere
