    Holy vegan meat! This was the most food, best priced option I found in my week in Mexico City. In a city focused on carne this place left me feeling included tin the 'meat' culture, full and satisfied. It really is big if you order everything which I strongly recommend. Flavors were awesome and the salsa options were good too. It's a little stand on the corner cheffed up by two amazing friendly women (at least when I was there). Great spot!

    cute vegan food truck with sooo many options! i was def overwhelmed but ended up getting a chorizo torta and omg it was HUGE! so yum but def enough for 2 meals. the women are super nice and helpful (asked for recommendations). there's no seating area but you can stand and eat by the truck to take it to go! they do take card! no wifi but the city wifi works decently. i wish i was here longer to try more things :(

    Si estas en la CDMX (no me importa si eres vegano o no), tienes que comer aqui! No te vas a arrepentir. Encontre Gatorta en Instagram gracias a otro amigo vegano y vi sus posts por un par de meses antes de probarlo. Su menu tiene tacos, tortas, gringas, y postres (pastel, dona, pan, cheesecake), pero lo bonito es que ofrece comida especial! Sus postres cambian y le puede sorprender con algo nuevo. Asimismo, tiene platos de temporada como chile en nogada o pan de muerto. Sus tortas son bien grandes y muy ricos - se puede hacer con dos "carnes", en mi caso elegí milanesa y salchicha. Ademas, me parece que el dueno cuida a sus empleados con precauciones del virus como mascarillas, gel antibacterial, y a veces solo servicio a domicilio. La unica cosa mala es que puede ser dificil encontrar su ubicacion. Falle con mis aplicaciones de mapa hasta que me di cuenta que la dirección en mis mapas no era la dirección en su pagina de Instagram. Por eso, si uses mapa en tu telefono, verifica la dirección con las redes sociales.

    Stopped by here while running around Roma Norte for a quick dinner - really wonderful and helpful staff and fantastic food! I tried a couple of different tacos not wanting to struggle through understanding the menu. The el pastor are a must and definitely a stand out. The bistec were good too but not quite as. I would definitely recommend swinging by here if you're in the area and interested in some yummy vegan food.

    Torta cubana.

    Was only able to check this food truck out once while in CDMX. There was a bit of a crowd, but I can't complain about vegan food being popular. Delicious torta cubana! The soy meat is flavorful and with excellent texture. My friend got the milanesa, which she enjoyed. I had a bite of hers and wish I could have eaten a whole other one but they're filling! I also had a cute little donut for dessert. Will certainly return to this spot in the future.

    Wonderful vegetarian/vegan option for those seeking to try out those famous Mexican street Tortas and Tacos. Friendly hardworking crew who clearly love serving their customers and care about delivering quality food. They also have non-alcoholic drinks and dessert options. Affordable, delicious, generous portion sizes - a winning combo! I wish there were more vendors like Gatorta around Mexico City!

    The smell is amazing

    Woooooow. I can't begin to describe how happy i was to find an all vegan taco stand in Mexico City. They have everything from vegan horchata to al pastor to cupcakes. Wish I could find one of these street vendors in SoCal. Getting there can be a b*tch as its in the heart of Roma district in mexico city. Took us 40 mins from the airport but totally worth the bumper to bumper traffic. Can't wait to go back for more

    The best vegan food we had in Mexico city. We ordered two tortas de pastor, and 4 tacos of mixed protein choices. It was so filling

    The vegan taco scene in Mexico City is really stepping up (as I have read in many blogs) and a visit to Gatorta is a proof of that. Por Siempre - another vegan taco spot is pretty popular, however, not many have heard about Gatorta. We probably would have never gone to Gatorta if it wasn't right next to our hotel and I'm so glad that we did since not visiting this spot would have been a real miss for us. We wanted to get the al Pastor tacos but we went pretty late in the day so they were already out of it. We instead got the Salchica and Chorizo tacos both of which were very very good! I also ate my first ever hot dog here since they had a vegan version of it - it was really yummy too! If you are in Mexico City I would suggest going out of your way to eat here since it's probably the best tacos you will have!

    Pastor torta

    Delicious tortas. Came for lunch and it was a popular spot. I got a torta with the vegan pastor meat and avocado, and then went back for a little baked good dessert because their dessert display was irresistible. Nice, quick service. Easy to find, just look for the cat logo :)

    If you're vegan, in Mexico City, and don't eat here, you should have just stayed home.

    Pretty disappointing, inauthentic Mexican spot catering to tourists who are too scared of authentic…read moreMexican cuisine. The food is alright, but massively overpriced and lacking flavour depth. We stopped in for dinner and were greeted by a very friendly, English-speaking server. I ordered the lentil soup (110 pesos) to start -- pretty tasty, but overpriced given what you get. My wife & I also shared the huitlacoche dumplings (150 pesos), which comes with 4 dumplings filled with a sort of corn-like filling and topped with a peanuty sauce -- tasty, but a rip-off for 4 pieces. For our mains, I got the protein bowl (280 pesos) and added some chickpea chorizon (25 pesos). Fairly boring but healthy bowl. Nothing really stood out. The tofu was not plentiful enough, nor prepared all that well. Satisyfing enough, but again, overpriced. My wife got the Enfrijoladas (265 pesos), a dish with pink tortillas filled with plantains, coconut cheese and almonds, all sitting in a black bean sauce. The tastes I had were pretty solid, but lacked flavour depth and needed some spices to amp it up. All in all, not worth the hype, especially if you're looking for authentic vegan Mexican. There are many other places worth prioritizing in town.

    I had dinner with my mom at La Pitahaya a week or so ago for our last meal together in Mexico City…read more The restaurant is entirely vegan, 100% plant-based. My mom is vegan, and I'm not (technically, I'm a very lapsed vegan), but this menu was one that I was excited to try, too! We shared the al pastor and pineapple dumplings (4 steamed dumplings filled with mushrooms and roasted pineapple puree, served over green salsa and ponzu), which were great. (It was hard to choose between these dumplings and the huitlacoche dumplings!) We also shared the crunchy cucumber salad (with fresh radish, sesame, lime, mint, and guajillo), which was simple and refreshing. Then we had to try some of their tacos - served on their famous pink tortillas. We tried three of their tacos, but the pastor de setas (organic mushrooms al pastor, pineapple, and spring onions) was our hands down favorite. They're an alcohol-free restaurant, but I enjoyed my tepache (fermented pineapple drink with piloncillo), to which I added a hibiscus chamoy rim). They offer other fun N/A drinks: amaranth horchata, hibiscus water, and more. The service was great, and the restaurant was cool - open air, great on a warm day, bright, comfortable. Of all the vegan restaurants we tried in Mexico City, I think La Pitahaya was my favorite. The food was great, and our meal was fun. I'd happily return.

    I can't overstate how much we loved this place! I went to Mexico City with my vegan husband…read morerecently and was so pleasantly surprised with just how many vegan options there were within the city. I am not vegan, so I normally search for a place that has both but this place was so close to our hotel, it was hard to resist. Genuinely- I was blown away, even as an omnivore. Everything was really affordable and quick and I managed to snap a pic of the tacos I ordered, even though my husband devoured his torta before I could document it. We came back for lunch the next day. It's relatively small, but there is seating inside and outside and it is pretty fast, so spots open up quick. If you are vegan or with a vegan- don't miss out on this spot!

    We came here on our first night back in CDMX to try this place's vegan food, but it may seem that…read morenot all of their food (deserts) are vegan. We tried the vegan milanesa, al pastor, and suadero tacos, which come with onion and cilantro; and guacamole with chips. When we first arrived we were seated right away. The food came out fairly decently, but all at different times. There is some indoor and outdoor seating, but neither space is very big. The service was a little mixed; one waitress seemed to initially have a negative attitude, but then later was fine; the other waitress who helped us was more friendly; I'll chalk it up to the fact that it was a Sunday night one hour before closing. The food itself tasted good, but nothing out of this world. This place has a punk rock vibe. Overall, I would potentially come back.
