Enjoyable meal in lovely setting - Edit
There is a separate small section in the menu for Vegans and Vegetarians. Mostly vegetarian dishes can be made without cheese. I had the ‘stuffed pumpkin’ which was a stuffed zucchini or gourd. They used TVP with sautéed veggies and the stuffing topped with vegan cheese. I upped the flavour by adding some spicy salsa. Enjoyable meal in a lovely courtyard with classy live music.

Most delicious food - Edit
Probably the best dinner we had on our 10-day trip to Mérida. The staff was super attentive, I asked to have a vegetarian dish but without the cheese. When they brought the food they explained to me they added some extra potato side dish and informed me that there was no cream no nothing in it - I didn’t even have to ask. Very nice located in the patio as well, calm and sometimes with live music.

Me pusieron carne en un platillo que no llevaba - Edit
Pedí un platillo, me parece que eran fajitas vegetarianas, ni tenían carne en sus ingredientes pero al servir me pusieron carne y me di cuenta hasta el segundo bocado

They wreck the bread and pasta and the breaded eggplant with eggs - Edit
I just tried to order some of the few non animal options and even most of the seeming options like the bread with the vegan burger have chicken egg in it. So gross and disappointing. Ended wanting to share the vegan burger without the bread, and the calabaza rellena with a friend. The veggie burger was tiny and not worth the price. Then they forgot to put in the order for the calabaza rellena so we cancelled it and left on disgust. The mushroom starter plate was tasty. Overall the food is expensive for Mexico, while the prices for the cocktails were reasonable.

Rustig eten in de tuin - Edit
Het restaurant heeft een tuin weg van de drukte van de straat. Heerlijk even rust. Er is 1 hele bladzijde van de menukaart voor vegetariërs. Ik had de curry en deze was heerlijk. De kinderen wilden een Margarita pizza, deze stond niet op de kaart, maar is toch voor ze gemaakt.

Decent option in el centro - Edit
There aren’t many vegan options listed, but some dishes that can be made vegan. I ordered one that is vegan already, the vegetarian fajitas. I received a plate full of sautéed veggies (bell pepper, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes), guacamole, and yummy warm corn tortillas to go with. I really enjoyed it! My partner also said the vegetarian pasta he ordered was quite good, though the portion size could have been bigger.

A more upmarket option, food for romantic dinner - Edit
We went here for a very late lunch after arriving in town. The courtyard setting is beautiful and they had fans to ease the heat. Menu is mostly meat with one page of vegetarian options. I explained that I was vegan and I had the stuffed pepper with soya mince, which came on a bed of mashed potato. Would be a lovely place to go in the evening for a romantic dinner.

Good but pricey - Edit
Compared to the other places we’ve been eating in Merida with veggie options, this seemed pricey for what we received; however, the food was quite tasty and the setting was lovely.

Delicious food - Edit
Amaro is a big restaurant that also attracts large tourist groups. They offer perfect service in a nice and atmospheric courtyard and well-cooked food with local ingredients. I had the vegan Fajitas. Actually, there weren’t any "Fajitas" in it, no meat replacement, only grilled vegetables. But it was very well-seasoned and tasty!

Yucactec variations - Edit
This restaurant specializes in variations to traditional Yucatec cuisine. They have vegan, veggie, and meat options. The service was excellent, the food was great (I had vegetarian fajitas which had the local chaya vegetable mixed in). We got local beer, and my son got a chaya drink. This place has very nice ambiance, but still a casual welcoming atmosphere.

Pricy and tasty - Edit
The food tasted good and the staff was very attentive and immediately explained what dishes could be veganized after I told them I’m vegan. It was very expensive for Mexican food though.

if having vegetarian beans means you have vegan options... - Edit
This place shouldn't even be on here. Had about one vegan option. The veggie fajitas were more like a stir fry. Tasted like soy sauce was used. Service was bad and food served cold. They serve tried to overcharge

Good service poor food - Edit
It was easy to explain to the waiter that we did not eat dairy and meat, he was very thoughtful about that. The setting is in a beautiful courtyard. It’s a little old fashioned but pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately the food was a real let-down. We had vegan fajitas and they were too oily and way too salty. The sauces were great though.

Veg not vegan - Edit
We tried to make it clear we wanted no butter, cream, or cheese, and they got 2/3 right! Grilled veggies were smothered in butter and soy enchiladas came with cream. We let them know, and they took the plate back and scraped off the cream. At the end of the day, I would say great for vegetarians but vegans beware

Quirky, delicious spot - Edit
Neat place... apparently it used to be all vegetarian, but like many Mexican veg businesses felt pressure to include meat. Still has a GREAT all-veg menu with tons of interesting options, and is also open late (often with live music) making it a very nice dinner choice.
Read moreThe ambiance is incredible, as others have mentioned; a gorgeous courtyard decorated with quirky items and dripping with history. It's a fairly upscale place, so don't go expecting cheap eats. Clearly explain that you want "sin lacteos" for vegan dishes. Note that the place is just a block or so away from the central plaza.
Pros: Delicious, Historical, Great ambiance
Cons: Used to be all-veg, sadly no longer, Expensive

Nice Vegetarian Restaurant at the city center - Edit
We visited Amaro around Feb 20-21, 2007. Food was good, portions moderate, ambience and service very nice. Would not recommend driving to that place because streets are narrow. Prices were on the high side (USD 35 for 3 people)by Mexican standards. Good choices on the menu for vegetarians. Six blocks from Hotel Dolores Elba - a good place to stay in Merida.
