    (Translated by Google) I have been living in the center for 10 years but it took me a while to discover this gem that is indeed the best vegetarian inn you have. you will find in this part of town. The inn is equipped with partitions and adheres to a strict sanitation protocol and other measures for the prevention of disease communication. The experience of eating here turns out to be very unique and special. (Original) Llevo 10 años viviendo en el centro pero tardé en descubrir esta joya que efectivamente es la mejor fonda vegetariana que ud. encontrará en esta parte de la ciudad. La fonda está equipada con particiones y se adhiere a un estricto protocolo de sanitización y otras medidas para la prevención de comunicación de enfermedades. La experiencia de comer aquí resulta ser muy única y especial.

    I am vegetarian and from the US and loved my meal here. It is a 4 course meal with everything included for a very cheap price (70-100 pesos). Everything was delicious and the owner is the sweetest lady. Definitely check it out if whether you’re vegetarian or not.

    Interesting concept but this place is on a second floor of this sweet ladies place. She has a set menu which comes w salad or fruit , drink , dinner & little dessert which was a large cherry in non alcoholic liquor. She doesn't speak English & I don't speak Spanish but ordered rice w some soy meat. The dinner was ok but the green soup which I'm not sure what is was made out of was delicious. Cash only & preferred small bills.

    Great vegetarian/ vegan food tucked away on the first floor of a random shopping street. The two ladies working there were so so incredibly nice. It's basically a 4 course menu and you get to pick between a couple options for starter/soup/main and desert. They have been in business for 29years! It's helpful if you speak a little Spanish.

    Cozy, homely place for some good vegetarian Mexican food in Centro! Run by a friendly old lady who insisted we wash our hands before entering! Lunch menu was simple but tasty. No fuss. Soup and salad starter, main course, fruit dessert!

    Very cheap for a few courses. Friendly workers. This lentil soup, bread, tacos, small fruit salad(grapes and an orange slice), water, peach pudding were $85 usd or about $5 CDN. Nice to have some easily digestible food while travelling.

    (Translated by Google) A fondita of vegetarian food, generally good. They have a fairly varied menu, which is appreciated. Some dishes such as the soup of the day (from poblano pepper), was a bit tasteless although not less tasty. The choriqueso with guacamole loved it, although they gave me the counted tortillas. It is a good place for vegetarian food although not the best. The prices are quite accessible. I would go back to try more menu items (Original) Una fondita de comida vegetariana, en general bien. Tienen un menú bastante variado, lo cual se agradece. Algunos platos como la sopa del día (de chile poblano), estaba un poco insípida aunque no por eso menos sabrosa. El choriqueso con guacamole me encantó, aunque me dieron las tortillas contadas. Es un buen lugar de comida vegetariana aunque no el mejor. Los precios son bastante accesibles. Regresaría a probar más platillos del menú

    (Translated by Google) A space with the tranquility that is no longer lived in the historic center of the great city of the country. It is literally a haven of peace in every respect. You leave the buyusio of the city to pamper yourself. I do not know the kitchen practiced in this beautiful place. That it is austere with extremely delicate service. In this transit of the covid 19 pandemic; they have great and delicate healing. They occupy sanitizing mat. Infrared thermometer. They ask you to clean your hands. They disinfect you whole body. And once the protocol of the new normal is through. You enter the dining room that is divided prudently. During my stay I felt at all times as if I was part of this space. The diners are pleasant and attentive. The attention is luxurious. Home delivery is only in a close perimeter. Since to vary for being a micro company it does not have much diffusion except a great capture. But the world is lost from this oasis. (Original) Un espacio con la tranquilidad que ya no se vive en el centro histórico de la gran ciudad del país. Es literal un remanso de paz en todo aspecto. Dejas el buyusio de la urbe para consentirte. No conozco la cocina prácticada en éste hermoso lugar. Que es austero con servicio sumamente delicado. En éste tránsito de la pandemia del covid 19; tienen sumo y delicado saniamiento. Ocupan tapete sanitizante. Termómetro infrarrojo. Te piden asearte las manos. Te desinfectan de cuerpo completo. Y una vez atravesado el protocolo de la nueva normalidad. Ingresas al comedor que esta dividido prudentemente. Durante mi estancia me sentí en todo momento como si fuera parte de esté espació. Los comensales son agradables y atentos. La atención es de lujo. La entrega a domicilio es sólo en un perímetro cercano. Ya que para varear por ser una micro empresa no tiene mucha difusión menos una gran captucion. Pero el mundo se pierde de esté oasis.

    (Translated by Google) The foods are good, although they could improve their flavor. The digestive tea that you serve to accompany the food really works and is rich. The food is healthy and the prices affordable. The attention is good, the staff is friendly. Although they could serve you a little faster because of having to return to work on time. (Original) Los alimentos son buenos, aunque podrían mejorar su sabor. El té digestivo que te sirven para acompañar los alimentos realmente funciona y es rico. La comida es saludable y los precios accesibles. La atención es buena, el personal es amable. Aunque te podrían atender un poco más rápido por quello de tener que regresar al trabajo a tiempo.

  • 5/5 Aydin A. 2 years ago on Google
    Come hungry because you’ll be given a 4-course meal. Choice of salad or fruit bowl, soup hot or cold with tortilla or bread, main dish (which decides the price of the whole meal), and a small dessert. Salad had a great mix of veggie with homemade dressing which was delicious. Warm soup was a bit bland. Main dish I got, Alambre con piña y soya was delicious! Dessert was sliced pears in a sweet syrup with cinnamon. Only restaurant which takes social distancing seriously. Feels like eating at your aunt’s house rather than a restaurant.

    Very accommodating. We had some special requests and they were happy to deliver the magic. recommended 👍

  • 5/5 Lewis L. 2 years ago on Google
    I am from Germany and have already been searching for a vegetarian restaurant which is hard to find in Latin America. They struggle a lot due to Covid and it's really hard to see it, because this small and tiny restaurant is something like a secret place where not just vegetarians can find a good food. If you want to eat vegetarian food but also don't want to miss the typical mexican kitchen this place is worth it to be visited. The owners are quite friendly. It's definitely a recommendation!

  • 5/5 Julia G. 3 years ago on Google
    delicious food, welcoming hostess, charming atmosphere. i took a liter of kefir water to go as well. been daydreaming about it ever since.

  • 5/5 Edgar V. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is located up a flight of winding stairs and has a very cozy ambiance. The lady who served us (who I assume is the owner) is very sweet and made sure to check up on us to see that everything was okay. The food was a great price and tasted great. Overall a great dining experience.

  • 5/5 Andrew Hakomaki G. 2 years ago on Google
    Come and experience the quiet perfection of this little sanctuary and healthy vegetarian restaurant in the heart of Centro. One of my favorites in CDMX!

  • 5/5 Nancy C. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, great food. It's a 4 course meal in a quaint old building. Be forewarned, if your diet is strictly vegan, the yogurt is MILK.

  • 5/5 Jane H. 2 years ago on Google
    Really delicious food and it comes as a 4 course meal for an absolute bargain between 80-110 pesos.

  • 5/5 Mar S. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Incredible place, I found it by chance and it was an excellent option, everything super rich, and the most incredible price. Really take a ride. Be careful, maybe the place scared you, they don't look so nice, you have to go up a floor but once there it will be worth it in taste, price, attention, and the super filling portions of food. They have been serving for 26 years and it really is already my favorite and that of my sisters too. (Original) Increíble lugar, lo encontré por casualidad y fue una excelente opción, súper rico todo, y el precio más increíble. De verdad dense una vuelta. Ojo el lugar quizá los asusté, no se ven tan agradable, debes subir un piso pero ya estando ahí valdrá la pena en sabor, precio, atención, y las porciones de comida súper llenadoras. Llevan 26 años dando servicio y de verdad ya es mi favorito y el de mis hermanas también.

    (Translated by Google) The typical bad vegetarian restaurant without any evolution, I ate there for many times because I stay close, wanting to eat healthy and vegetables seemed like a good option, the salad is decent, the frightful soups is the typical soup that if they don't tell you that Vegetable is not even you know and they throw a lot of cornstarch to thicken. The maximum stews there is one of miniature vegetables and everything else ends quickly are things of fried soy in chili sauces or enchiladas with cream and cheese, total that if one wants to eat healthy this is not a good place at all. And if you get to order some vegetables they are over cooked. Bad bad bad (Original) El típico restaurante vegetariano malo sin ninguna evolución, comí ahí durante muchas veces pues me queda cerca, teniendo ganas de comer saludable y verduras me parecía una buena opción, la ensalada está decente, las sopas espantosas es la típica sopa que si no te dicen que verdura es ni te enteras y le echan mucha maizena para que espese. Los guisados maximo hay uno de verduras en miniatura y se acaba rápido todo lo demás son cosas de soya frita en salsas de chile o enchiladas con crema y queso, total que si uno quiere comer saludable este para nada es un buen lugar. Y si llegas a pedir algo de verduras están sobre cocidas. Malo malo malo

    Terrible experience. Absolutely awful. The woman who runs this place ripped us off by claiming we ordered items that we did not order. And she charged us double the menu price. DO NOT VISIT. It is so not worth paying double for mediocre , bland food. There are many superior vegetarian restaurants in the area with no price gouging. Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!
