Still open! - Edit
Still open! They just updated their menu, and it's delicious! Fully vegan. They're still in the Ally on 10th but in a different stall straight back from the entrance. This is a great location for a group with a variation of food preferences because there are several restaurants that share 1 dining space so everyone gets what they want.

be back for sure! We had the sopas, quesedilla, tacos dorades, and cookies. Fun atmosphere with entertainment. #Veganuary

Great experience - Edit
Food was phenomenal and not too far a walk from the cruise port and very affordable. A little hard to find, but very good food. Definitely bring cash but she took Remitly too if you have the app. Got the quesadilla plate a steak taco dish with beans and chorizo and her strawberry ice cream and it was delicious and tasted homemade. Bar right in the same area as well to get drinks made it an unforgettable experience. Will return for sure if we’re back in Cozumel

Came here our first day on the island, went back again before we left. It was too good not to go a second time! Super nice people, delicious all-vegan food. Do not miss going to Vegan Barrio!

Go to Vegan Barrio - Edit
Just spent a week on the island and went to Vegan Barrio multiple times. It's located in a wonderful outside food cart environment. We had every mexican dish on the menu, and each one was fabulous. The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming. Be sure to stop by and fill your belly with their delicious food.

Amazing vegan dishes - Edit
Great variety of vegan dishes - this is a food Cary amongst a few others - if you are on the street looking for it, the place has a different name but you can see the stand at the back from the road - great vibe! Takes credit cards even if it says cash only!

DO NOT MISS OUT - Edit
The stand, tucked away at the back of the food alley, can be spotted from the front entrance. (My experience) You’re met with a warm welcoming smile from their waiter. I asked for recommendations after coming in mostly blind & was not disappointed at all.
Read moreI had a plate with the chorizo, queso and mushrooms (add on). It comes with a very home feeling presentation, hot tortillas in a bowl, wrapped in a towel, and all the toppings (guac sauce, habanero, onions and cilantro) on another plate in their respective bowls. It goes without saying but this plate was amazing, i’ve had vegan tacos all over Mexico, to include Tex Mex and SoCal tacos & they blew every other spot out of the water (in my opinion) 10/10
I then had my second dish, the ¿quesobrasas? … SPECTACULAR. I could eat those literally everyday. Perfectly seasoned, not too cheesy and juicy. 10/10
I wasn’t planning on having dessert but the mini mountain of a brownie base, with a scoop of strawberry ice cream, topped with almonds and chocolate drizzle.. i had no shame scraping my plate. 10/10
overall a great experience, my best regards to the whole staff. ❤️

Amazing! - Edit
This place is amazing! It’s not to be missed while in Cozumel. We went two nights in a row. We had the quesa-brosas, tacos de canasta, choriqueso, and the sopes. All four dishes were very good. We enjoyed the quesa-brosas, and choriqueso the best.

Excellent vegan brunch! - Edit
Went for brunch and was extremely satisfied. We got the chilaquiles and sopes and both were amazing. I wish I could eat this everyday. It is the back food stall in a cool outdoor food court. The bar there was great and open at 11am as well. Not sure what other options there are later in the day but it was perfect for vegan Mexican food and beers for brunch.

Cute wee dinner spot - Edit
What a wee hidden gem. At first looks this place doesn’t seem like much tucked away between other eateries but we trusted the previous HappyCow reviews and were very pleasantly surprised. We ordered a few different dishes and only photographed two because the food was so good we were so engrossed in eating that we forgot! The Sopes were a highlight for both of us. Such fun new flavours and was great being able to try out a traditional Mexican dish as a vegan. Thank you Vegan Barrio!

Yes. Pick this place. - Edit
Absolutely delicious! So many options. We walked from the Norwegian cruise ship port, about an hour, or a 10m taxi. It's in a little cove with other businesses. Staff is so friendly. They take credit card and USD.

Some of the best vegan food I’ve had! - Edit
The most delicious vegan food!!!! Spent a day in Cozumel during our trip to Playa and vegan barrio was my favorite food our entire trip!! The Sopes were insanely delicious, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them. Everything we ordered was so yum. The owner is 24 years old and has been vegan for 10 years! Her little brother (maybe 7yrs old) was our server and he was so polite and smart!! Would have eaten here so many times if we were staying in Cozumel. Can’t wait to go back!!’

Very delicious - Edit
A smig difficult to find but well worth the look! We are new to vegan food and were thrilled to find this fantastic place! Can’t wait to bring others. And we can even eat here with our nonvegan friends because other booths have non vegan food.

Delicious - Edit
This spot is located an area with a few vendors and has green neon lights.
Read moreCame here multiple times, both for breakfast/lunch and dinner and enjoyed everything I ordered. At least one of the staff we talked to is vegan which helped us feel comfortable asking about ingredients to ensure everything is fully vegan.
Breakfast menu: their Sopa Azteca is DELICIOUS! Their tofu dishes (revueltos a la mexicana y al cacahuate) taste nutritious and filling. Their chilaquiles were also nice and the portioning is generous.
Dinner menu: dinner menu consisted of more street-food like items, and some favorites are the tacos de canasta, sopes, and queso-brosas. Their faux meat flavors are spot on everything was ridiculously good and had great salsas to accompany it.
I love that this place has delicious veganized street food and flavors that a lot of people miss but refuse to take part in contributing to animal suffering.
The only awkward thing is that drinks have to be ordered from a different business (and those drinks might not be vegan) and you pay two separate bills at the end. It’s not Vegan Barrio’s fault, just the set-up of the place.
Pros: Street food , Vegan employees, Breakfast and dinner menus
Cons: Have to get drinks from another business

Terrible … - Edit
The “restaurant” is a tiny spot in a food court alley. Never got a chance to taste the food or order. After sitting down to look at the vegan menu, we were approached by several of the non-vegan restaurants trying to poach business. After explaining we were vegan several times, we left without ordering. BTW if you use Google maps to find it, good luck.

It is unfair for you to rate a place simply because the location was not to your liking without first having tried the food.

Delicious, reasonably priced - Edit
It’s a couple of blocks off the main downtown shopping area. I felt completely safe walking there as a solo female traveler.
Read moreRestaurant is fully vegan. It’s in an outdoor food stand area with other food and drink stands. So, it’s a great option if you’re traveling with non-vegans.
I got the sopes. Good size portion, so much I couldn’t finish it. They have an ice cream brownie sundae as the dessert option.
Menu prices are in Mexican pesos.
Pros: Excellent food, Staff was friendly , Large portion
Cons: Outdoor seating can be hot

10 Stars is not even enough - Edit
We've been coming to Cozumel for about 30 years. 7 years ago we switched to a plant-based diet and have bee pleased with the increasing amount of vegan eateries on the island. We've eaten at most all of them. Konstanz (now sadly closed) used to be on the top of our list. Vegan Barrio is even better (also a different type of menu). All of the other people who have reviewed Vegan Barrio are absolutely correct about this place. Whenever you are in Cozumel, don't miss it.
