Vegan enmoladas - Edit
Ordered a big portion of vegan enmoladas filled with cactus; the mole sauce was amazing, very thick and flavourful. Limonada electrica was tasty and refreshing. Very nice ambient in the back garden, plus you can browse the adjacent feminist bookshop (most books are in Spanish).

Solides Essen, tolle Getränke - Edit
Die Gerichte sind ganz gut als vegan ausgeschildert, ist auch sehr wichtig, da nicht alle Mitarbeitenden wissen, was vegan ist. Die Fotos der Speisekarten von Happy Cow sind nicht mehr aktuell. Das Essen letztendlich war okay, nichts außerordentlich gutes. Die Cocktails jedoch waren richtig gut.

Adorable spot, came here twice - Edit
When I found this place, I hadn't noticed it on HappyCow for some reason, so had been planning to add it myself because I was so impressed.... only to find that it was here after all! This is an adorable outdoor restaurant with a mostly-vegetarian menu and a lot of good vegan options. It's a no-frills type place (their full name includes a small caveat that translates to "not gourmet food") but everything is really tasty. More than that, the vibe here is incredible. It was a great mix of locals and tourists, and it definitely attracted a politically-aware and savvy group of people, likely due to its location in a feminist and antifascist bookstore. I got to eavesdrop on a conversation where about 15 young people from a collective of some sort were getting to know each other, and several of its members were explaining veganism to the other members of the group, who were really receptive. The place just had a great welcoming vibe, not just for vegans, but for anyone who was open and tolerant.
Read moreAnd the food was good! As promised it was pretty low-frills but it was tasty and the portions were huge. The first night I ordered enfrijoladas which were excellent. The second night I got enchiladas which were good but I admit I wish they'd had vegan cheese. There are a lot of options for appetizers and dessert as well.
One of my favorite places in Merida!

Wonderful place to for vegan and non vegan friends - Edit
This cafe has the cutest chill vibe. The food is good but sometimes lacks flavor so ask for salt. I love coming here with my non vegan friends as we all have options. Has a great beer selection, best I've seen at a cafe here. Cafe runs consistent hours unlike many cafes in Merida which clothes on random days and hours.
Read moreUpdate: Since my first review the Cafe has removed some of the vegan options which were the ones that were high in protein like the vegan fajitas. The vegan options now are a bit boring and bland and contain very little vegan protein.

Pros: Nice vegan tomato soup, Great garden for dinning, English speaking staff
Cons: Sometimes food is bland, Vegan options lack protein

The enchiladas lacked flavour and our mushroom mole tasted bitter/burnt. Good vegan options on paper but need executing better as the food was quite bland which was a shame.

I wanted to lick my plate - Edit
We were a little on the edge about coming here after reading reviews, however our entire party agreed it was an excellent choice. Is the food exceptionally creative? No, but the authentic dishes did not disappoint and the flavors and presentation were on point. I absolutely loved my Mexican Soya (soy protein) Fajitas and my partner (who’s a bit of a mole expert) said the Soya Mole will have a special place in her heart. Our omnivore friends also enjoyed their plates
Read moreOver half the menu is vegan and all vegan dishes have the option to be made vegetarian by adding appropriate dairy products.
They also serve a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages — we really enjoyed the Jamaica!

Nice place and food but service not great - Edit
The place has a nice vibe to it and it's lovely to sit in their outdoor backyard area. We also liked the food and they have several vegan options which are clearly labeled on the menu.
Read moreUnfortunately the staff was a bit cold and we didn't feel as welcome as we often feel at other restaurants. Also they overcharged us a small amount and when we mentioned it politely the staff basically ignored it and didn't take it off the bill.

Tiene un jardín bonito. Todos pedimos enchiladas de mole y están deliciosas. Muy bien servidas y hechas de tortillas a mano. Tienen un amplio menú vegano, y también hay varias opciones para los no veg. Al llegar te dan una jarra de agua, lo cual me pareció un buen detalle. Además el chico q nos atendió súper amable y sirven rápido. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.
