Most people probably wouldn't expect to find vegan food in Mexico, and if they did, they may have reservations about trying it. I can say with much enthusiasm though that The Green Place is worth visiting, even if you're not vegan (I'm not). The interior is modern and inviting, with lots of colorful art on display. Additionally, it's spacious enough for those who want to work or those who want to gather with friends. There are also some items like soaps and earrings available for purchase (cash only). As for the food, we enjoyed Al pastor tacos (8/10), ramen (9/10), and good vibes smoothie (9/10). Food was all prepared quickly. The ramen broth was very flavorful and absolutely delicious. My only suggestion would be to add some more vegetables (preferably substitute corn for red bell pepper). Prices are very affordable, too. Our total was under $20. Service was friendly and accommodating. Would return for sure.
This place is such a good twist on American coffee shop / cafe food. It's a million times better though. The service was fantastic. The ambiance is calm and quiet. We had a smoothie which was light and delicious. The avocado toast had a nice twist with chile oil drizzled on top. It was fresh and tasty as heck. The French toast was amazingly soft and not too sweet! It was easily some of the best French toast I've ever had. Will be back!
Gosh what a perfect spot. Big space, calm(ish) Spanish music, and everything vegan. Large, real wood tables. Plants at every table. Indoors but open air. Im so glad every time I go out of my way to support local, vegan places and this was more than I could have expected. The Buddha bowl was literally perfect and they definitely didn't skimp on the amount of tofu or any of the ingredients. The only thing they could work on is the iced matcha latte. It wasn't stirred very well. Lots of chunks at the bottom but with a good (1-3minutes of stirring it myself) it was fine since they included a metal straw. It was also fine that they didn't add sweetener. I was able to choose from several options at their condiment station after receiving the drink and add it myself (and know exactly what I was adding) There's some street parking but we arrived via Uber. Not only is this place 100% vegan, but they include a mission statement on the front of their menu that makes it clear how intentional the establishment is. Thank you very much. Muchísimas gracias.
Great food and very unexpected for the location. My wife and I came to this spot during our carnival cruise and were surprised to have a few vegetarian options for her. The setting was great but hot, which is usually for the area. The food was amazing, flavorful, and juicy. We arrived during breakfast and the waitress at the cooks if they cook something for us off of the dinner menu. Thank you all for the great food and service. Out of the two vegetarian spots that we tried, this one takes the win!
Great healthy food! My friend and I get to different dishes and then shared them. One was the tofu omelette with spinach and mushrooms the other was chili Quiles Verde. We both favored the chili Quiles Verde. We also got green juice and coffee each. The coffee was OK. I like a creamy cream for my coffee but not everywhere has good vegan creamer and the coffee was a slightly bitter. Overall, everything was good!
What a great place to have in Puerto Vallarta for when you're craving comfort food that is still healthy and vegan! Been wanting to try this place since I heard about them last year so I was stoked to finally make it out! The Green Place is a cute and spacious restaurant in the 5 de Diciembre neighborhood of PV. We ordered: -- El Mexicano Hot Dog ($50 MX) // This classic hot dog had tomatoes, onion and jalapeños. It was so good! The hot dog itself is house made with garbanzo beans or soy I believe, and it was super tasty with the right texture. Only thing was it was kind of small for the bun, but I still really enjoyed it and would definitely order again. -- El Fifi Hot Dog ($60 MX) // My friend had this one and he really liked it as well! It had mushrooms, cheese, grilled onions and avocado. He said it was delicious if you like mushrooms! -- Aros de Cebolla ($75 MX) // The onion rings were good but the batter needed more flavor! They were really crispy and a good size, though. -- Nachos ($120) // These had a lot of good flavor from the beans, Beyond meat and salsa but my partner noted they could have done with more cheese. I enjoyed them but they def could've been cheesier! I would love to return to The Green Place next time I'm in Puerto Vallarta to try their amazing breakfast menu and more of their savory lunch / dinner stuff as well! The ambiance is really nice and they offer juices, smoothies and lemonades to drink. The service left a bit to be desired as we weren't checked on much and had to hunt someone down for the bill, but it didn't bother us much as we were enjoying the food and atmosphere quite a bit. Can't wait to come back next time and hopefully have more great food and upbeat service!
What happens when you fall in love? I will tell you it's the most amazing feeling in the world. Well, we fell in love with Green Place. We traveled from Nuevo Vallarta (40 min taxi ride) to get to this gem of a restaurant . Elizabeth greeted us with a smile (well we think she was smiling, since we all had masks on !) The entire vibe of the restaurant was phenomenal. The murals, the wooden tables and chairs, and the perfect music to listen to while eating. We started with green drinks (Green power for my husband and Popeye for me!) Although we really wanted the Spring Rolls they were sold out 20 minutes before we arrived (which was one of the reasons we came) We ended up having the soup of the day- A flavorful vegetable soup to start & then I had a quinoa salad with a delicious lemon vinaigrette. The salad was a wonderful combination of grape tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and onions. The hubs had a veggie sandwich on a baguette with sweet potato fries. No love story would be complete without dessert. Carrot cake.. I haven't had dessert since April it was worth the wait. Do yourself a favor don't walk-run to the Green Place. We have 7 more days in PVR & I'm sure we will be back!!! Score-100
First of all steps from where I was staying. 350 pesos for Cappuccino. I should have asked for hotter but it was very good else wise. If you don't venture into centro you might miss this delightful Vegan/Organic place. Ambiance is awesome and so beautifully decorated. It would be a 5* where I live. Employees were very nice & friendly.
Such a great find! After walking around the Malecón as well as stopping by Mirador de la Cruz (two must sees!!!), we stopped for breakfast at The Green Place. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed with happy smiles as well as the cool breeze of air conditioning. The overall vibe was VERY casual and chill - there were patrons sitting and sipping on smoothies, coffees while reading a book. We were seated immediately with our menus. We ordered the matcha - Cha bowsl and chunky munky smoothie bowls as well as an order of summer rolls. The food took some time but that was fine since we were occupied with planning our activities for the remainder of our trip. When the food came, we were wowed by the presentation and bright and beautiful colors of everything. Talk about eating with your eyes! I promise that you'll probably salivate just a tad when you see the food. The spring rolls are picture perfect, super Instagram-pretty- no filter needed. Not only did it look very appetizing and appealing but it definitely delivered in taste with fresh ingredients. The matcha-cha bowl came with a nice kick of matcha (shocker right?). Each bite came with crunchy coconut flakes and before I knew it, I was almost halfway through the meal. My husband really enjoyed his chunky munky bowl and he described it similar to eating ice cream for breakfast - can't go wrong with that, right? We were stuffed and ready to take on the rest of our day.....but not before leaving with an iced latte to go. All in all, I highly recommend this place! Fresh ingredients, friendly service, casual vibe.....what's not to like?
I've been coming here for many years, and today was honestly the most disappointing experience I've ever had--both in customer service and food quality. We came in on a Saturday about an hour before closing, ordered two burgers, several drinks, and my favorite cauliflower rings. My deep-fried mushroom burger arrived cold, with coleslaw sauce dripping all over it, and the chips that came with it were cold as well. The wings were so overwhelmingly vinegary that I couldn't eat them; I ended up peeling off the batter and just ate the boiled cauliflower. Even the ranch was extremely watery. Despite spending a good amount of money, the service didn't match. The waiter barely greeted us, was not attentive at all, and never checked in to ask if everything was okay. When I mentioned at the end that the food wasn't up to the usual standard, he just shrugged and did nothing about it. Sadly, after years of coming here, this might be my last visit. Very disappointing. read more

This place is perfection! I had the Chicago burger and it was one of the best vegetarian burgers I've ever had. Their cold brew and juices are fantastic. The juice had no added sugar which was exactly what I wanted. If I lived in PV I would 100% be a regular here. read more

I try to make sure to eat at The Green Place several times when I am visiting PV. I would eat there every day if I could! Every single thing they serve, comes out, tasting fresh and delicious. I highly recommend a stop at The Green Place on your next trip to Puerto Vallarta! read more

Definitely didn't expect to find a place like this in Mexico but so glad I did! Only tried the matcha smoothie bowl and the papaya but it was delicious and so fresh!! Very fresh ingredients and everything handmade. This does make the service a little slow but it's worth it for the quality! My friends got smoothies and coffee drinks as well and everyone had only great things to say. Cash only but accepts usd and mxn! Highly recommend to any vegans or vegetarians or anyone who needs a break from the yummy but filling traditional Mexican faire read more

Fabulous find - the smoothies, salads, and (vegan) burgers are great. Full of flavour and decent portions. Moderately priced, with a lovely spacious interior. Coming back for more! read more
We stopped by this adorable shop with large wooden tables. Plenty of room for lots of people. The have vegan ice cream! I had the coconut vegan ice cream and it was amazing. I had them add it to the mango tango drink to make a special drink. The presentation was beautiful with on inside of the mason jar with a handle. There's a metal straw because they don't use plastic! It kept my drink extra when drinking it. I appreciated how nice the waitress was. It had fans running for those hot days. Unsure if they had air conditioning. They don't have water bottled but their water is filtered. I can't wait to come back and try their vegan cheese menu items! read more

So this place is for EVERYONE! I think it's incredible that this place is an option for vegetarians and vegans. Food; From avocado-toast topped with sprouts to chia parfaits, macha waffles, and chilaquiles there's a wide variety of viable great tasting healthy options. read more
I had some early morning errands to run which is quite out of the norm for me, so I didn't have the time or desire to make my own coffee or breakfast before leaving. I remembered this coffee shop existed down the block from me so I planned on grabbing a coffee while out. From the outside it doesn't look super large, but once you walk in it becomes a huge open space filled with natural wood tables and benches. There is a large cold case with cakes and pastries next to the coffee apparatus. I was surprised to discover they have a full menu! I believe it's all vegan/vegetarian if that is your thing. I ordered my coffee with coconut milk and perused the menu. Lots of delicious sounding options and I was informed their portions are massive. I was hungry and wanted breakfast and the chia parfait was the winning option. It came out in a large stemless wine glass with chia pudding in the bottom topped with a puree of fruit as well as whole fresh fruits, topped with granola. It was delicious and filling. The coffee was so tasty that I opted for a 2nd cup (I'm a single cup a day girl) to go. I got two 20oz coffees and breakfast for under 125p or $6usd. Not too shabby! read more
