Vegetarianism stuck in the 70's

A vegetarian restaurant with only 3 vegan options. Mostly egg-based recipes. Waiter seems to badly need a holiday. I ordered enchiladas which were inedible. Juices are nice.

Pros: Juices

Cons: Food

Great variety and changing menu

I visited many times as my local vegetarian restaurant on my trip. Some of the dinner items didn't impress me but there are many choices so you won't get bored with no choice! They have a afternoon buffet from 1pm and an amazing breakfast menu until lunchtime. Order the americano - stuffed pancake with fruits. Amazing! Good vibes, and an English menu is available. They also have an onsite bakery takeaway section

Pros: Lots of choices vegetarian and vegan, Good prices

Cons: No AMEX card facility, Sometimes service can be slow

Okay but nothing outstanding

The biggest advantage of this restaurant: it opens early on Saturdays. I had the pancakes with coffee and cactus juice. I loved the juice which was new to me, the pancakes were huge and tasted okay but didnt fully convince me. The TV was super noisy and the atmosphere was a little bit like in a canteen.
The restaurant is okay when its early and there are no alternatives.

Pros: Opens early

Cons: Taste did not convince, atmosphere, noisy

Few vegan options

The waiter did not have patience to explain the traditional plates and ingredients, even speaking Spanish, but the food was good. I was gone for breakfast.

Pros: Few vegan options, little market, good location

So sad ! it was so good ( Tan triste fue tan bueno )

When I was a little child I used to go with my family, but the last time I went ( last year ) was horrible, there are few vegan options, but the place is dirty and the plates are old and stained , the service is good but the food lacks flavor the overall the experience is distasteful.( cuando era pequeña iba con mi familia era riquísimo pero la ultima vez que fui (el año pasado ) fue horrible, hay pocas opciones veganas , el lugar está sucio y los platos son viejos y manchados , el servicio es bueno pero a la comida le falta sabor , en general la experiencia es de mal gusto )

Pros: good price ( buen precio), good service ( burn servicio)

Cons: bad food ( mala comida )

good enfrijoladas

Best enfrijoladas we had while in Mexico City (not that we tried them all). But surprisingly not a lot of vegan options. Big plus for us was the early opening hours (7 am!!) since we had a morning flight.

mala presentación de la comida

Hay un tema de mala presentación.
Vaso roto, la comida pasada de cocción.
La sopa tenía que ir mejor al blender para que el mismo gusto se vea bien.

vegan pastries!

To begin, I should say I did not eat dinner here. I was on my way to a taqueria with my non-vegan family when I saw it. I'd seen it listed here on Happy cow so I ducked inside just to see what it was like.

I noticed the pastry shelves looked good, and was so pleased to see a whole shelf of vegan pastries! (It's a vegetarian buffet, so I expected the desserts to have dairy in them. It was a pleasant surprise!) I bought two and put them in my bag to eat later. One was a shortbread cookie with dark chocolate drizzled over the top. It was very good - barely sweet and tasted like almond meal. The other was a palmier type pastry that I ate on the plane the next morning and it was dynamite.

Great Menu & Friendly Service

There are many vegan options. Our waiter was very kind, spoke little english but made up for it in charm.

Definitely order a fresh juice, they are cheap and tasty! They have vegan sour cream and cheese which is a fun topping for traditional Mexican dishes.

Pros: Many clearly labeled vegan options, Great service, Tasty food

Tasty Enchiladas

Ordered enchiladas from a la carte menu. They tasted great, but they weren't served hot, more like cool to luke warm. Thought it was strange considering they arrived quite quickly.

Ordered a juice that was very good, and the complimentary bread was tasty.

Sirvieron gelatina (de grenetina). NO ES VEGETIARIANO. Cocina está hecha un asco, muy sucia.

Solía ir mucho a ese lugar. Su menú corrido siempre tiene alguna opción vegana. No muy rico, pero aceptable. Después de varias idas me tocó que sirvieran gelatina en el buffet. Osea no es ni vegetariano ni hindú. Después en otra ocasión al servirme el postre, encontré una cucaracha en el plato. Tal vez por la pena nunca me dieron una disculpa. Solo hace falta voltear a la cocina para darse cuenta que eso iba a pasar algún día (y seguirá pasando). El lugar no es ni la sombra de lo que fué algún día. Sobrevive por los godinez de reforma que solo van por comodidad. Pésimos meseros, la mayoría, y muchos antipáticos.

Pros: muy bien ubicado.

Cons: Servicio antipatico, malo. Cocina sucia y asqueros

Delicioso sabor, pocas opciones veganas

Es muy rico y están dispuestos a veganizar algunos platillos, a mi me hicieron pancakes sin leche ni huevo y los amé por eso. Pero todo el pan tiene huevo y leche :(

Pros: Buen precio, Rico sazón, Buenas porciones

Cons: Pocas opciones veganas

Not the best, there are better places around

We went there for Sunday brunch (90 pesos) and had the buffet. I wouldn't recommend it. It was all pretty tasteless. Most of the time they were out of items and you had to wait quite a long time for them to replace. We initially wanted to order from the menu but the server was not very friendly and did not speak English. We were not offered an English menu which would have been very helpful since we didn't know what some of the items were. We've tried many other places around the city and they were much better than here. Forget anything vegan here, there's nothing vegan. Find one the excellent vegan places in Condesa or Roma if you want good vegan food.

Pros: Affordable

Cons: Poor service, Tasteless Food

O.K.

Wasn't the worst but certainly not the best. The service was slow and the food very basic plus they don't label vegan options nor did they know when I asked... All in all it was just O.K.

A Godsend!

Going to Mexico for vegetarians is challenging to say the least with all food being cooked in lard but Yug was a godsend! The food here is excellent and at affordable prices too. They offer local Mexican cuisine such as enchiladas, huevos rancheros, quesadillas, mole and a fake meat platter that was simply stunning. European dishes are also available. The staff were also very helpful and most could speak English with menus available in English if you ask. Yug also offer Mexican style breakfasts as well as other options such as cereal, fruits and yogurts. Jug also has a shop selling Fresh cakes and bread, soy pieces. Check out the buffet upstairs too.

Pros: Excellent Food, Good Value, Nice Staff

Good breakfast

Happened to go in for breakfast on Mother's Day. Decided to opt out of ordering from the menu and take the special buffet. It was full of traditional Mexican breakfast items. I was glad to get to try them all, and it was such a relief to know I could eat everything there! They used a lot of different types of TVP (typical of most veg restaurants in Mexico), and there was a ton of fresh fruit. The service was courteous and kind.

Huge Disappointment

The service was awful. It took around 15 mins to be helped. There were numerous cheese and meat items on the menu. We went for brunch and the only vegan option was a fruit salad that I could get at any restaurant. Not worth it at all. We left.

Mexican Lunch

Busy Vegetarian restaurant in Mexico City. Since I went at 3 pm the buffet didn't look to appealing. So I sat downstairs and ordered the vegetarian tacos with soya, guacamole & refried beans. Delicious!

Good food

I went here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and I found the food to be good. It was 90 pesos for the set meal, although the price can vary depending on the options you choose. Came with drink, soup, salad, main plate, bread basket and dessert. Overall a very good meal and it was nice that they were open on Sunday. The waiter was friendly too.

Pros: Flavors, Attention to nutritional value
