Good food, and a buffet too

The avocados were amazing and they give you free bread. But the soup was so bland and boring, barely tasted it.

Pros: Filling, Central location , Buffet

Cons: Pricy, Hard to know what's vegan at the buffet

Good prices but a little bland

The food was good and they had a really big menu but i think if they reduced the amount of dishes they serve they could concentrate on improving the quality/taste a little bit because it does taste a little boring.

Vegan food in downtown Puebla

Went here twice during our stay in Puebla. The menu clearly marks which dishes are vegan. However be aware that a spread that they serve with the complimentary bread is not vegan. Also the waitress said that they could not make their Chile Nogado vegan. Their enchilades with different kinds of moles are simply delicious, we also tried a nopal (cactus) dish here and it did not disappoint. Very friendly staff in a huge building. Must go if you are in downtown Puebla!

Pros: Clearly marked vegan options, Great ambiance, Friendly stafr

Cons: Spread that comes with bread is not vegan

Go to place for vegan in downtown Puebla

Menu has various vegan sections so it's easy to be sure of what you're ordering. Good vegan mole enchiladas filled with either tofu or soy crumbles. Fixed daily menu is a mixture of vegetarian and vegan. But you can ask the server to tick off which dishes are vegan. They also make a vegan Chile Nogada, if you want to try Puebla's signature dish.
On previous reviews there was a buffet mentioned but we've never seen one and have dined there about 10 times.
Seems very conscious of covid safety measures.

Delicios restaurant with nice service

It's a beautiful bright restaurant with a really nice service who explain you the different dishes and the menus.
The food was really tasty and cheap. Especially for a vegetarian/vegan restaurant.
I would visit the restaurant again, when I travel to Puebla.

Pros: Delicios menus for 100 Pesos, Comfortable atmosphere

Let down

Was really in the mood for a burger and had looked this place up but was extremely let down. My falafel burger was very dry and in more of a lunch roll than burger bun. Also got enchiladas which I think were overpriced. You can get a buffet option here but after looking what was offer I would not recommend. Staff who took my order was very friendly but lady at front part not so much, did not tell us we had to go out back to order until we tried to order with her

Pros: Good size portion

Very cheap

I like the variety of options they have in their menu, the food is very affordable, its true the lady at the fast food side should be more caring when it comes to customers, some people arrived and sat down, 15 minutes later they asked her if someone would take their order and she just told them they needed to go to the other side. She could have told them since then beginning.

Pros: Very cheap, Clean, Fast food and restaurant area

Cons: The falafel patty was a bit cold, The veganese was frozen

Not the best

The place was confusing as you had to order and pay in the back of the place and the staff were unfriendly. The coffee was cold, the juice warm and the food didn’t taste like much. They did have a lot of options though and the price was fair.

Pros: Vegan options and many vegetarian options, Not expensive

Cons: Bad service and atmosphere , The coffee was cold, The food was not tasty

Ni comí aquí

No me quedó claro si yo me tenía que sentar o pedir mi comida en la caja. Le pregunté a la señora, pero como había mucho ruido, no escuché. Le dije que no escuché y me acerqué. Cada vez que me contestaba (le dije varias veces que no escuchaba) me daba la espalda. Salí sin pedir nada. Ni dijeron nada cuando entré.

Mal servicio/Comida regular

El sabor de la comida está bien, pero no es lo mejor ni lo más saludable. El servicio es lento y los platillos estaban fríos cuando los sirvieron. Por otra parte, las empleadas tenían mala actitud, ya que al cuestionarles sobre ciertas dudas con los ingredientes de los alimentos respondían de mala forma. Es una alternativa para personas vegetarianas, con pocas opciones veganas. No cuentan con postres veganos. Posee una pequeña tienda con productos vegetarianos a la venta.

Pros: Céntrico , Precios accesibles , Menú vegetariano variado

Cons: Pésimo servicio al cliente, Pocas opciones veganas , Sabor de los alimentos regular

Huge vegetarian restaurant

La Zanahoria is a huge place with several rooms/patios. They offer both a buffet or a extensive selection to order from their menu. We went there to have breakfast. I had the Tacos with carnitas and peppers – which was with tofu and meatlike pieces. I enjoyed it. I could see from the menu that most of their dishes are only vegetarian, but as they have so many choices there’s still plenty for us vegans, not only for breakfast but the whole day.

Nice staff

Had a great time at this restaurant. The staff was very nice and helpful and explained what was vegan what wasn’t. They even double checked for the bread rolls instead of just guessing. The food tasted good. I’d eat here again.

nice, but a bit like a football.

This is a nice enough spot to sit and have a bite to eat, though I found the food a bit uninspiring and all in all it's a bit dated and rather impersonal.

Pros: plenty of vegan options though be sure to ask.

Cons: a bit bland, both in ambience and also gastronomic

Medium

It's not a great food but it isn't bad either. If you are a hungry vegetarian next the zocalo it can be an option. But if you want tasty food there are much better places in Puebla.

Pros: Centric, Lot of choices, Economic

Cons: Untasteful, Bad service

Delicious buffet

Even though the staff didn't seem very welcoming when I entered, and I pretty much had to figure out how it works by myself, I didn't care when I got to eating the food. It was really good. The salad bar has all kinds of original salads and I enjoyed the stuffed pepper and carrot burgers. I wish I could eat more, but it was decent so I was full after a (big) plate.

Pros: Yummy fruit water

Cons: staff not very friendly, desserts weren't anything special

Good choice and location

This busy restaurant is conveniently near the Zocalo. The food was fine. We ate from the buffet, the waitstaff was very helpful in telling us what was vegan. There was a wide variety to choose from.

¿Dónde están las opciones veganas?

Hay sólo 4 opciones veganas, y no son muy diferentes entre sí. Es un lugar limpio y ameno, pero al atenderte no son muy atentos. Más de una ocasión al pedir la hamburguesa sin queso, le han puesto. Al igual que mayonesa. No hay postres veganos. Así que atentos con eso.

Pros: Céntrico, No es caro

Cons: No hay opciones veganas, No son atentos

Great ovo, lacto and vegan buffet choices.

Great meal, many many items to choose from. The quality of the food and preparation was excellent. Service was good, and the buffet was very reasonably priced. Planning a return trip already.

Great buffet

The buffet was amazing, but like others have said, it could be tough for vegans to know what is vegan. It cost $99 pesos on weekends and $84 on weekdays. On the way out we saw the veggie burger cost $20 pesos. The place is huge and beautiful in an old colonial building humming with voices of happy patrons. They did have a jell-o type thing on the dessert tray. I'm not sure if that can be made veggie or if they just have no idea that jell-o is meat cube.

Note: the map shows it as being somewhere in the middle of nowhere suburbville. This location is actually right in the Centro, a couple blocks from the Zocalo.

It's ok

This restaurant has a couple of vegan options if you ask. However, I ordered a veggie burger and it came with mayonnaise so watch out for that. Additionally it was not the best burger I've ever had. If you're vegetarian the choices are pretty good though and the buffet looked good.

Cons: Limited vegan options
