Atmosphere better than food - Edit
I was quite suprised about the atmosphere as you can‘t see it from the busy street. Once you are there you are quite detached from the loud nightlife. The staff seemed very helpful and was running around filling up water glasses for free. I have to say this is were the good part ends. We had the Beet salad and Orange Seitan which was OK. Portion sizes were good but there wasn‘t much else in the Beetroot salad besides Beetroot. No dressing or other veggies. The seitan for the Orange Seitan was a tad too crispy and I haven‘t tasted a salty Couscous as there. Well too over seasoned and just tasted like Vegetablebroth. I am sure the chef had a bad day so maybe others will have more luck. Overall just OK I would say.

Good quality food in a lovely tropical setting. The seitan dish was incredible, highly recommend it! It was also nice to have vegan tzatziki. A bit on the pricier side but not crazy.

Wonderful food, service and atmosphere- recommend! - Edit
On the recommendation of a man in Mexico City with a moustache, we made our way to El Armadillo. We sat down, we ordered food and we loved everything that entered our mouths. The chocolate fondant was sublime. Then when it came to finding a restaurant for the second night that we were in Mazunte, we couldn’t go anywhere else. And it was ever better the second night! We had the Moroccan platter. What a platter! Amazing falafel. Tabouleh. And if you like lots of hummus to arrive when you order a platter with hummus then order this platter. We didn't know what to do about dessert… how could anything ever be as transcendent as the chocolate fondant? The owner, a delicious and tall man called Noosh (sp?) understood our concerns and brought us his almond cookies on the house and they were so soft we fell off our chairs. Thank you Noosh, thank you man with moustache, thank you Mexico.

Not super impressed… - Edit
I never write negative reviews, and I really wanted to like this place, but I thought it was just alright. I’ve had Moroccan food before but I found the food here to be overly seasoned, and my friend thought the same. I had the platter and the falafel was very salty. I liked the beet salad and mint tea best.
Read moreIt was also a very strange dining experience because I was seated near the kitchen and the owner (I think) kept going to the kitchen to scold the chef who must have been new. Maybe he thought no one around knew Spanish, but regardless you could tell from his tone. I’ve never experienced this at any restaurant, let alone a fancy one like this.
My server was great and the atmosphere was very nice. If I’m ever back in the area I’d give it another chance. Make sure you make a reservation, just get a hold of them through WhatsApp.

Fave Restaurant in Mazunte - Edit
I went here too many times to count. For breakfast and dinner! Full vegan menu with drinks and desserts to write home about. Not to mention the fantastic service. For breakfast I loved their cafe de olla with the tofu scramble and carrot bacon. Maybe the best I’ve ever had. For dinner I loved sharing the combination platter (too big for one person) and I tried the orange seitan! The creme brûlée was amazing, but the big surprise are the cookies!! Wow, perfection all the way around.
Read morePros: Exceptional service, Incredible menu , Totally vegan

OH MY GOODNESS 🤤 - Edit
Why go anywhere else? Seriously, I'm a good snob and this was some of the best food I've found in MEXICO! The Iced Golden Milk was top notch, the platter was AMAZING and such big portion (enough for two people), the seitan was so yummy and the most perfect texture...if you have room for coffee and dessert DO IT! Coffee here is the best in town ☕💖
Read morePros: Portions are big!, Flavor is Yum!, Employees and owner are so wonderful!
Cons: That I can't take the chefs home with me., That I don't have a bottomless pit of a stomach, No actual Cons, it's all perfect!

Gorgeous vegan restaurant - Edit
This was a lovely vegan dining experience from start to finish. After struggling to find it initially, we finally spotted the sign along Calle Rinconcito and headed up the small hill to find the pink walled restaurant. The staff were super welcoming and topped you up with cold water throughout dinner. The food was exceptional, especially the koftas, the cashew tzatziki and the orange Seitan. How do they get the Seitan that soft?? Make sure you're hungry when you go as the portions are pretty big. We also had a delicious cocktail each. Sadly was too full for dessert so I would definitely return.

Everything was amazing. The atmosphere, the service, the drinks (included extra water), the food - everything. We enjoyed it A LOT. It was probably the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been in. Definitely worth the price which I didn’t found too expensive.
