Really just for take away

I can't deny there are many perks to Gatorta: This centrally located food stand provides quite some options to choose from, usually you don't have to wait for long and the food tastes good. You can see how their prepare your order and there are some containers with spices, sauses, a variety of toppings for free you can put on your order once it is done. Everything is really inexpensive and also the staff is the nicest. For dessert they had (among other things) a mindblowing pastry with a nougat-like filling (+ some nuts).
But on the other hand there are a few obvious drawbacks, the lack of space to eat being the main one in my opinion. If you order food to take away, that's fine, but in any other case you would stand there uncomfortably, on one side you have the big street where reeking cars are passing by each second, on the other side pedestrians would try to run you over on the pavement.
Moreover, we are talking about fast food here. That doesn't have to be a bad thing, but just saying. The food is good, but not that good, so I can't possibly give five cows to Gatorta. Even if their heraldic animal would have been a dog instead a cat, still not.

Authentican Mexican Food

This place is as close as you can get to a real mexican experience. It's a taco and torta stand close to a busy street. You stand, order and eat.
Everything's vegan, the staff is really nice, and it isn't very busy.
I suggest the pastor tacos (spicy) and the cranberry cupcakes.

Pros: Great food, Great price, Friendly staff

quick, tasty street food in the middle of it all

For years, one of the hardest thing to do as a vegan was see all of those taco stands throughout the city cooking up their onions and with all of their great sauces, but knowing that there was nothing you'd want.

This place and a few other new taquerias are really changing that. It's right at the corner of Puebla and Insurgentes, a few minutes from the metro. You can recognize it by the big cat on the stand. Friendly staff and delicious tacos and sandwiches. Note that vegan meats feature pretty heavily here, so those who aren't into soy or gluten won't be as happy. There isn't much space to sit, but people just improvise or sit around. Another thing they have is fantastic deserts... the cakes are fantastic and go down perfectly after some greasy/spicy/salty tacos.

Pros: quick, cheap, tasty

Cons: limited selection, wish it were open later
