    This was the ultimate culinary highlight of our trip. Located in an adorable little hacienda, we don't come to Playa del Carmen for over the top fancy places. We have our fill of that in LA. We come for the culture, the food, and the natural beauty it has to offer. La Senda is serving up protein rich, fiber rich, and nutrient rich vegan foods. Everything is vegan, from their creamy salsas, to their cheeses. We were so impressed with the flavors and the prices were very reasonable. Our favorites were the cafe de la holla, hot oats, bean molletes, and mushroom tacos. Check out our food pix for mouth-watering moments. Many dishes are made to order with care so be conscious that they may take up to 20 minutes to prepare so come with time to relax. Buen Provecho!!

    Cocoa Frappe
    Meena S.

    We read good reviews about this restaurant and decided to go for dinner. The vibe of this restaurant is more like a cafe than a restaurant. The service is ok. We ordered Mexicolor bowl and Sahara bowl. The bowl quantity was decent for 1 person and food was fresh and delicious and the topping sauces were vegan and nice. We also tried cocoa frappe and cocoa cake and both these items were very good. The prices are decent. Not expensive. Worth a try if you are vegetarian and visiting Playa del Carmen.

    A vegan place? AWESOME! This is especially refreshing if you need a break from the heavier/greasier foods of the area. There are a lot of good beverages; my wife and I enjoyed some aguas de cacao, which are a different but tasty way to start the day. We shared champis al pastor, which wasn't too bad. Make sure you request some salsa with it (watch out though; it's hot!). Multigrain toast with mango marmalade were a fine accompaniment. The best part of our experience was the Hotcake with fruit and a dark chocolate sauce - it is heavenly. I would get this again. When I return to PDC, this is at the top of my list of places to eat.

    Spirulina Smoothie Bowl $70 pesos
    Jazzie M.

    Love!! Great smoothie bowls, actually the best I've ever had. Spirulina bowl changed my life! Vegan quesadillas were a hit too. Super friendly staff as well. Also tried the daily special and it was amazing as well. Not a fan of the coca bowl tho. Reminded me of very expensive chocolate cereal.

    I had no idea Playa was a vegan mecca, but here we are and it is so. La Senda is the best. Everything is homemade, from the sauces to the veg burgers to the booch, and it is ALL delicious. I will keep returning until it's time to leave!

    Food is so fresh and huge portions! I had food from the breakfast lunch and dinner menu while I was in Mexico! Loved it all! Their juice is really good too!

    Enfrijolados
    Amanda C.

    Absolutely delicious! Loved sitting in the back room. The nachos were my favorite and the enfrijoladals. But we didn't like the mole sauce. It was too sweet! Went there 3-4 times for lunch and dinner. Was our go to.

    Lentil Burger
    Raul M.

    Even if you are not a vegan you have to try this place. Enchiladas and the lentil burger are delicious. We are regularly at this place, juices are also great. The vibe of the place is really relax.

    Warm salad $90 pesos . Has quinoa kale bell pepper & "cheese" . Had to pick this as a second option so wasn't amazing but not to bad either

    Pretty surprised to have found a vegan place out here but HERE IT IS!! After reading the Yelp reviews I decided to come here with my sister around like 7 pm. We got the guac to start out which was really good but the chips were hard and like really crispy and took away from the flavor of the guac. When I tired to order my main dish they did not have the falafel burger and another dish I wanted because they were popular dishes that day and did not have them in that moment. So I went with the Warm Salad which I thought was good but nothing amazing and my sister had the pesto pasta which I liked better than the Salad. The waiter was nice and the place itself is also nice and in a good location. Would recommend going earlier in the day though.

    Me: What do you want for di- Viv: Vegetables. After almost a week of greasy hands, meat sweats and much too large portions in the states, La Senda was a very welcome relief and a very wise choice. Particularly after we made the mistake of ordering burritos for lunch. Note to self and all other Mexico rookies, a true Mexican burrito is not for the faint hearted. It's just meat. Allll meat. And a tiny bit of cheese. But I digress. La Senda gives you All the Vegetables! and with a choice of a western or Mexican flavour. The mushrooms pastor had a delightful charred flavour, just like its meat based alternative, and the salads could stand up against the best salad bars in California but at a fraction of the cost. Hot tip, listen to your waiters. My tacos came with three salsas - mild, medium and hot - and despite the stern warning from our server, I went for a big dollop of the hot. My tongue still hasn't recovered.

    Cashew cheesecake is delicious

    Location has closed down but has no been updated on Yelp. Frustrating after walking there in the hot sun and no where to be found.

    How to write a review for froyo & pastries are too delicious to put into words will be my conundrum…read morehere. This is REAL frozen yogurt. Not packed full of sugar & nonsense. To make it even better, the toppings selection is primarily healthy. Sure you can pick some indulgent options but this place clearly prioritizes healthy options & that I love. Located directly across the street from my hotel I stopped in nearly every day of my vacation. Even with loud & endless construction out front they were consistently busy & absolutely delightful. I highly recommend!

We were craving something sweet, and this was only a few minutes walk from our condo. The place is small, with minimal decor (including awkward-looking beanbag chairs for seating), but the yogurt flavors were interesting. I chose a delicious (and beautifully purple) taro flavor, while the dude opted for the Zenlicious (we're still not really sure what the flavor was, but it was good)! The staff fill your cup for you and then you can add up to 3 toppings. I chose dragonfruit pearls, crushed almonds, and Mayan (aka spicy) chocolate. It was a winning combo. If you're nearby and craving a cold, sweet treat on a delicious Playa evening this is pretty much your only option on Calle 38 - they're a great addition to the neighborhood.

That being said, I want to make clear that this place isn't really all that diner themed other than perhaps the decor. The menus pretty limited to burgers and other types of sandwiches. They carry Beyond Burger (or maybe it was Impossible?) and then something else that is not very meat-like and it's more or less deep fried . . . but delicious. Well, because . . . fried! My friend and I both ordered burgers and she stated she was quite surprised that she enjoyed it, as an omnivore. I had the spicy burger and it was pretty tasty, although heavy on the vinegar based hot sauce, so if you're not into that - avoid! I also had the Snickers milkshake and holy balls, it was SOOO GOOD. Like I was planning on only having a perhaps half of the milkshake, just to try it, but I ended up gulping down nearly the entire thing, despite being no longer hungry after my burger! Service is kind of slow and meh. Like the server forgot my carbonated water until the very end of the meal, and I had to flag a server to order, despite it being not very busy. But I think that's kind of typical for the area.
