“ This is, without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in Playa del Carmen. Sin ninguna duda! This is for two reasons: (1) this spot presents authentic, beautiful, deeply traditional Mexican flavours and dishes with such success that even those who don’t adhere to a plant based diet will be shocked to their core at how incredible the food is; and (2) Pablo - the host, frontman, server and all around caballero. Putting my own interactions aside, in which I was made to feel like family, having been multiple times, I’ve had the pleasure to watch Pablo make every single visitor feel welcome. From toddlers who couldn’t get enough of his charm and loving character, to couples and solo travellers, this man was born to do what he does. The food is unparalleled and the atmosphere is that of being at home. If you miss this spot, it’s your loss! Muchas gracias al amigo Pablo y los artistas en la cocina. ”
“ We went for dinner here and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. The tacos were delicious. I really enjoyed my coconut drink and the vegan ice cream! ”
“ I came to Plantivoros for the first time two years ago, and was so happy to come back and report that the food is still just as fresh and delicious! I only wish I was hungrier so I could have ordered more definitely a must-try if you’re vegan in PDC and even if you’re not vegan, you will love it! You’ll probably be back more than once. My sister and I shared the chile rellenos with pastor filling and loved it. And my hot sauce connoisseur sister said their homemade habanero was the best she’s ever had! Please continue to support this wonderful business. Can’t wait to return again one day! (And also check out their Korean ghost kitchen food as well!!) ”
“ We loved it! Tasty food, friendly service and cosy atmosphere. We‘ll come back on our next stopp in Playa del Carmen ”
“ We have been eating tacos all over the Yucatan, and this place was one of the best, if not the best. Our waiter was funny and so helpful, the menu was diverse and all focused on vegan versions of Mexican dishes with a few unique twists. Short walk from 5th avenue, affordable prices, and supreme flavor. Definitely put this on the list! ”
“ Best Vegan Restaurant in Town ! We ate here several times and the vegan food was always delicious. In addition to the food, the service is great and the people working here are awesome and motivated. They make sure that you are having a great experience. We also talked about the Mexican cuisine and what else we could try. They even gave us Mole to try . We will definitely come back and are looking forward for our next visit in Playa! We had a great experience and definitely recommend this restaurant to others! It was a pleasure meeting you guys . ”
“ Plantivoros is amazing, and I would eat here everyday if I could. The nachos and guacamole were amazing. The chips were warm and the presentation and taste were perfect. You must try the different flavors of lemonade too- all handmade to order. You must try the kfc filling and anything else with oyster mushrooms. They are amazing here. All of the flavors went together so well. It is an amazing vegan restaurant for everyone, not just vegan people. Pablo was an excellent, funny, and very knowledgeable server. Service here was amazing. The menu is a little hard to follow/use. I think you can pick almost anything(burrito, taco, etc) and then pick the sort of filling(oyster mushrooms, pastor, cauliflower, etc) to go in it. There are many other options as well. Thank you! ”
“ Incredible food and service! It was a quick stop on our way to Tulum from Cancun and now we think we might need to get back here before heading home. Plenty of great food in the menu, it was hard to choose so we went with the suggestions from the lovely staff. Torto Cubano, Enchiladas and tacos plus the fresh juices were good options too. ”
