Amazing Flavors. Great Prices. All freshly cooked - Edit
Omg am I so happy to stumble across this place!!! The food is soooo good!!! And everything is homemade by the guy himself. You can taste the freshness and quality in the food. And the price cannot be beaten. I ordered the falafel pita. Which was more than enough. I was seriously stuffed by the end of it. This is super packed and filled. Tons of hummus and who knows how many falafels. Not to mention the Free salad bar!! definitely try the green and red salsa and fried pita chips. Holy cow!!! I cannot believe how good the food is here.

Kickass falafels!! - Edit
Tried one of their pita falafels and it was sooo good! Really soft and crunchy falafels with vegan dressing and lots of different toppings to top your falafels. The staff was really friendly and cheap prices compared to Playa. Will go here again!!

great value for money and great taste of falafels - Edit
You get more of what you paid for compared with prices of other veggie places around that area. For me the prices are reasonable and the serving sizes are good. The flavor of the falafel is great as well as the salad and hummus they sever it with.

awesome "croquetas" and charming people - Edit
We had lunch there and the falafels were just as good as home.
Read morePrice is really correct and food taste delicious. They have plates with fresh tomato, cucumber, onion salad, hummus, tahini and free buffet with red and white cabbage, fried pita and 2 amazing spicy sauces : green and red.
didn't see anything not vegan even though they are classified as vegetarian.
Will come back for sure.
Pros: price, pretty fast for a mexican restaurant (humour), near la quinta, easy to find.
Cons: would maybe need a little decoration refresh

Great Plate - Edit
I enjoyed the plato completo very much - was tasty and very filling. Hummus, tahini, salad, falafel, pita, and chips. It's a small place with just a few tables, very casual.

Best Falafel I've Ever Tasted! - Edit
I've eaten falafel all over the world, and this small restaurant in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico has some of the best falafel I've ever tried in my entire life. Everything is made to order, and the ingredients are fresh and delicious. The portions are nicely sized as well. You can't beat a falafel plate for the equivalent of $5 USD. Even though our Spanish was limited, the chef was very nice and communicative. We had no language barrier issues! I would travel back to Mexico just to eat at this place again.
Read morePros: High quality food for the price, Best falafel in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, Chef is very nice and understands limited English
Cons: The restaurant is outdoor style, so may be hot!

Yum! - Edit
We had the falafel plate that came with hummus, Mediterranean salad, falafel balls, pita and homemade chips, all with a tahini drizzle! The food was beyond excellent and great value for the money. With almost all the vegan restaurants located in the same area of town, it's nice to have one a bit more convenient to where we're living. We'll definitely be returning!
Read morePros: Delicious food, Excellent value for $, Convenient location
Cons: Stools are too tall to fit legs under the table!

Amazing falafels , some of the best fries i've ever had - Edit
so far i've had the falafel burger and the pita sandwich...both were amazing
Read morethe pita sandwich was loaded with veggies, falafels ( crispy on the outside and soft inside), tahini and hummus. the fries were out of this world. Very simple menu...this is probably my favorite joint so far in playa. the other vegan restaurants in playa have been kind of disappointing (so far). but i am sill exploring so i do not want to draw any conclusions yet. but definitely check out this place. make sure when you get the burger you specify no cheese. it doesnt say on the menu that theres cheese on it. the cook had to remake my order. i felt bad but that cruelty-filled cheese had already melted all over the falafel pattie and there was no way to get it off.
Pros: excellent food, unbeatable value, friendly staff

Best falafel ever! - Edit
This place was amazing! Tasty, healthy vegetarian food is not that easy to come by in Mexico, and we'd resorted to preparing a lot of our own meals in our hostel (or eating wayyyyy too much queso if eating out). Falafel Nessya was a great find! Fresh, delicious falafel, and very friendly owners, at a reasonable price. Planning to go back tomorrow before heading on to Cozumel :)
