Lugar de comida saludable

Pedimos el menú. Hacía frio y el caldito de entrada nos cayó de perlas. La musaka fué muy llenadora pero un poco insípida. Nos hubiera gustado probar mas cosas, pero ya será en otra visita.

Pros: Menú abundante, El lugar es bonito

Menú del día

It's a good option if you want homemade/comfort vegan food at really good price in Oaxaca downtown just two blocks from Basilica de la Soledad. Totally recommend.

Pros: Generous portion!, Nice attention , Nutritional and vegan store

Cons: Closed on Sunday

Excellent vegan tlayudas!

I had been trying to find tlayudas at a place that understands plant-focused cooking, not somewhere that would just hold the animal products. Trigo Verde is the place! The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant. The combo of vegan chorizo and avocado was excellent as tlayuda filling.

Pros: Multiple vegan options, Knowledgeable and pleasant staff

Perfecto para conocer y disfrutar la cocina oaxaqueña

Nos encantó visitar este sitio, que además incluye una tienda con muchos productos veganos en un costado. Tomamos unos tacos que nos encantaron y también probamos las tlayudas, que no conocíamos y nos gustaron mucho. De hecho, tiene varias opciones para conocer la cocina oaxaqueña. Muy recomendable.

Good

I tried the menu del dia and was happy to have fresh food with many veggies. The portion was ok... Could be a bit more filling. 85 pesos seemed fair/cheap though.
The staff is very friendly and the space is nice

Decent

This place is not vegetarian (they serve meat) and the location on the map is not completely accurate - just one block east of where it is marked. Vegan options are clearly marked on their menu. Had the soy burger which was basic but good. Attentive staff, nice store attached to the restaurant. Overall a good experience.

Pros: Attentive staff , Fast vegan options , Nice store nearby

Cons: Serves meat

Tasty & affordable

I had the quesadillas with extra vegetables because I’m gluten intolerant so the burrito wasn’t an option for me a choco banana smoothie, both really tasty and cheap!! I wouldn’t go again and again since the vegan options are not endless but it was really satisfying when I went😄

Pros: Enough vegan options if you go one time , Tasty, Affordable

Has vegetable/fruit wash, & packaged refrigerated vegan cheese, so go for that.

This place has a tiny number of foods in stock, including a few vegan items in a small refrigerator. Most of the shelf space is supplements, if you want that kind of thing. They do have vegetable/fruit wash, which is not easy to find. Also, at the time of writing, they had silken tofu in a shelf stable package. I did not expect to find that anywhere in Oaxaca. Most of the few shelf stable foods they do have in stock are not vegan. Although, they did point to a tray of pastries that they said were vegan. All were made with white flour and didn’t look that appealing so I didn’t get any. Someone eating there told me that the food was great, but I didn’t try it because reviewers have gotten all different stories from the people who work at this place about whether the food was vegetarian or not. The menu was prominently posted on the wall, and ham was prominently listed as an option in many dishes, with no accompanying statement that it was faux or vegetarian. So beware.

Pros: Has vegetable wash drops, 2 kinds even, Had vegan cheese in frig, Has dehydrated plant milks

Cons: Few foods to purchase, most not vegan, No reliable evidence restaurant is vegetarian

Simple and tasty

Super simple setup with some menu items and a menu of the day too. When I was there the menu of the day was only vegetarian with cheese, so I had taco al pastor and aqua del dia. It was nothing fancy, but simple and tasty. No plugs for charging electronics at the tables, but they can do it at the counter for you. Wi-fi was ok.

It’s okay

The place is not very charming, the burgers aren’t the best and the salad seemed a bit old... I guess it’s okay if you just want to have a quick snack or a burger to go. In the store though you can buy soya burgers and other vegan stuff. Also the stuff is very friendly!

One of the worst experiences

This place was a huge disappointment! First of all, it is not a vegetarian place, they serve meat. They didn’t have any vegan cake as stated in the menu, neither did they carry any other vegan goodies or baked goods other than bread. Some of their cookies were not even labeled with the ingredients list. Their vegan version of some traditional Mexican foods are very disappointing and not tasty at all. You’re better off going to the food markets and ask for the most boring veganized version of the tostadas or tacos there. Sad to say that this is among the worst places I have eaten in Mexico.

Cons: Not vegetarian , Few vegan options, Bad food

Yummy and cheap

This place is a vegetarian restaurant that serves lots of vegan options. They also have vegan groceries along with the vegetarian groceries. Talked with the manager (maybe owner) and he’s said there’s no meat served here. Also the chocolate cake with strawberries inside was amazing! The menu was mostly Mexican typical plates made vegan/vegetarian. In the cute area of Oaxaca. Also they have kombucha!!

Delicious

Had breakfast here a few times and the food was great! The people at the cashier however aren't really informed about plant based options, so it's important to ask about each ingredient.

I had the wrap and quesadillas with plant based cheese. Loved the sauce and atole!

simple but tasty wraps

I had the vegan wrap with some spicy salsa and tasty guacamole on the side. The wraps are small and simple, but tasty! I also tried their fresh green juice!
Love the concept of health store, vegan food and juice bar in one!

Pros: many vegan options , health store and eatery in one

Cons: serves meat

Several vegan options

Trigo Verde has a small selection of health-oriented products in its shop, plus a menu that includes several vegan options, e.g. burgers, tacos, etc. Some items are labeled, but ask to be sure.

Amazing Vegetarian & Vegan Food in Oaxaca!

Trigo Verde is a cute little restaurant in the central area of Oaxaca with delicious vegan and vegetarian options and healthy versions of traditional Mexican food. They also sell a nice selection of natural health and beauty products, vitamins and foods too.

I visited this small eatery twice and ordered a fresh green juice along with the vegan tacos al pastor both times (made with soy meat) and they were so tasty. The staff were sweet and friendly. I did find it a bit odd that you can’t order smoothies or fresh juices after 12 pm, according the menu, but just make sure you go before then if you want one of these to drink.

I believe they also offer a menu of the day (menu del dia) for a good price.

Pros: Natural Health and Food Products, Delicious Healthy Vegetarian & Vegan Food, Friendly Staff

Cons: Smoothies and Juices Not Offered After 12 PM
