El Vegetariano

Despite its name, you can find non-​vegetarian food on the menu. I had a delicious fish taco. Definitely order one The pineapple and onion salsa is tasty. I was eating it by itself after I finished my taco. The shrimp in the shrimp taco were very small and disappointing. The salmon and the portobello mushroom plates are recommended.

Easily my favorite restaurant in Tulum. I got the stuffed poblano dish with rice and the flavors were so complimentary and savory that I couldn’t help but clean the plate. We also ordered the guacamole maya which I have to say is the best guacamole I’ve ever had. Having grown up in Los Angeles, I don’t take this statement lightly at all. It was served with a light garlic sauce and a verde habanero sauce. Both were perfect and were heavily applied to everything I ate, not because they needed it, but because I am obsessed with sauces. The service was friendly and attentive and it was fun to watch the chef prepare the food in the open kitchen.

We showed up less than 10 min before they were suppose to open, figuring we would just wait since it would take us longer to bike & find another location. plus this is one of the places I was really looking forward to coming to.
The staff showed up after opening time & seemed very annoyed. we proceeded to order then saw the cook wiping his ear out, picked his nose & continued to grab the kitchen knife, utensils & cutting board to start to prepare our food.
Each of them including the cook was speaking to each other about how ridiculous it was & how irritated they were that we were waiting in the first place, asking each other why we don’t just leave & go somewhere else; not knowing my fiancé is fluent in Spanish.
We have had the best service & best experience w all of the locals until we came here — VERY unprofessional, rude & unsanitary

Very fresh and authentic vegetarian Mexican food. I would definitely recommend it for vegetarians visiting or passing by Tulum. We had the quesadilla and enchilada and it was very delicious

Amazing! I am a person who craves a salad a day, the salad I had here was so good I think I’ll dream of it later tonight. Also had falafel, which was probably the second best falafel I’ve had recently. We also sampled the fish and prawn taco, for these on their own I will return again and again, probably the best taco I’ve had in quite some time ¹⁰⁄₁₀!

Amazing food. The guacamole was the best we’ve had and made fresh. Everything so flavorful! Omg the coffee came with fresh honey.

We rode past this place on the way to the beach. We are vegetarians and the menus are amazing. The chilaquiles are delicious! The fresh juices are refreshing. Everything is made from scratch per order and tastes amazing. The owner a woman from Mexico City and her daughter are always on site and are very kind. Love

One week in Tulum and we tested quite a lot of places but came back several times to this pearl. Food was always on the spot and for non veggies, the cook of the neigbouring place prepared fish or meat for you. surley there specialities are vegan/​veggie food.
the staff was kind and the service good, which is not easy to find in Mexico. the team enjoyed there work and that influences the athmosphere of a place very much. we liked the simple but clean interior and loved to park right in front of it. Lovely mexican owner and local mayan employes.

Very clean spot to eat and open so you can enjoy the outdoors. I had the mushroom burger to go. The potatoes were perfectly seasoned and cooked and the burger was fantastic. I saw the chef cut open a fresh avocado and scoop it on my burger as well as cut up some fresh greens. Made me feel great about their fresh ingredients. The sauce it came with was perfect with the burger. Would love to come back again! English menus were a plus too!

Satisfies the veggie and seafood lover in your crowd. The veggie burger is the standout at this convenient spot on the main drag of Tulum. Of the five guacs we had in Tulum, El Veg’s was the consensus favorite. Grilled catch o day was perfectly prepared and the seafood pasta was hearty and flavorful with homemade fresh pasta. Salad was fresh, generous and had an interesting pineapple ginger dressing. House made vegan ice cream is a treat on a hot Tulum night. Service friendly; open air atmosphere, tropical with thatch and bamboo. A solid choice in a town of good Eatin options.

Located a lil out of the way, on the edge of Tulum town, at the junction where you hang a right to start down the road to the beach, is this gem of a restaurant!
We came quite hungry, so uncharacteristically ordered quite a few dishes and drinks for just 2 people.
Everything was superb! One error we made: soon as a plate of tacos showed up, we devoured it, then the sauces and lil salad fixin’s showed up. Oops. So wait to see if sauces show up and use them!
Is this place truly vegetarian? Mostly, yeah. And very vegan friendly. (I got the Shamde plate as main entrée, asking them to hold the cheese.) However there is a second menu with seafood items and I think I even spotted chicken tacos, so if you are here with amigos that crave the animal flesh, they will be satisfied as well.
Atmosphere: it’s a bit close to the road, but I quickly forgot about that. Small, open environment, kitchen is totally open to viewing from your seat: wholesome with methodical chef.
Apps, smoothies (we did a strawberry and chocolate and honey w touch of oats and cinnamon one), coffee, entrées (Shambe and Champi burger (divine! How do you stuff so much umami between 2 buns??) were what we got), tacos, desserts. I have faith that these people do everything well.
Really unique and lovely place. I’m stuffed. Wish we were in town for longer, to eat here again.

As soon as you walk into place, you know it’s going to be a special experience. You don’t find too many vegetarian/​pescatarian restaurants in small towns in Mexico.
The décor is creative, simple, and in good taste. Though it’s an on the curb of a busy highway, it was immaculate in terms of cleanliness. The music was very diverse; I think they played African-​French cumbia. Hipsters and hippies will love this place. The food was fresh and delicious! My personal favorite were the chips served with an exquisite habanero salsa, the most amazing humus, and a sweet fruit-​pulp salsa.
Our waiter, a French Mexican and some other stuff was super friendly and helpful. We will be back when we come back to Tulum.

Awesome place, especially for breakfast. He focuses upon vegetarian food in general but does have quite a few tasty fish/​octopus options as well.
We ended up eating here twice during our trip, once for breakfast and once for dinner. For breakfast I had the huevos rancheros dish and it was really great. The coffee was excellent as well.
Later in the trip we had dinner here and I tried the seafood mix plate. It turns out that plate is in fact a form of ceviche with two types of fish, octopus and shrimp all of which are very tasty. A really good way to sample a bit of the local fresh octopus available in tulum. Far more tender than any octopus I’ve ever had in the states.

Very good vegetarian restaurant on the Main Street (Avenida Tulum) of tulum. They have several different options at very reasonable prices. Most items were about $ 70 pesos each. We started with a fresh juice. I had pineapple and mint while my husband had apple and ginger. He ordered the eggplant dish which was unavailable but substituted for an eggplant, tomato, mozzarella stack. I ordered the stuffed poblano pepper which the waitress said was the most popular Mexican dish on the menu. Both dishes came with your choice of lentils, rice, or vegetables. I had veggies and he had rice. We enjoyed both dishes. We also ordered guacamole which was good. The total price was $ 265 pesos or $ 21 dollars which is very reasonable compared to some of the other restaurants in town. We would return to try other items such as the stuffed pumpkin.
