Plantivoros — Restaurant in Playa del Carmen

Best vegan Mexican food around!! It’s an incredible culinary experience to be able to enjoy such a robust menu filled with amazing vegan Mexican options. I love the variety of vegan proteins they offer that can be added to pretty much any dish - this makes the possibilities endless! I love ALL of the tacos, machetitos, flautas & chile rellenos, but honestly every dish is amazing. My goal is to try every item and I am making gonna progress so far. They recently released Chile en Nogada items for the month of September. This was my first time trying this cultural specialty and it was incredible! I tried it in taco form (picture below), but they have it in entree & machetito form as well🔥

The owners are both extremely kind, friendly & passionate for what they do. They have a true a love for their restaurant and all of their guests - and it shows in the entire experience and every plate that leaves the kitchen. The staff is also extremely helpful and will always make sure you are satisfied.

Overall, Plantivoros is my favorite place to eat in Playa del Carmen and I recommend to anyone looking for delicious food in a calm & relaxed...

If you’re looking for an incredible vegan dining experience in Playa del Carmen, this restaurant is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place that elevates Mexican cuisine with fresh, plant-based ingredients, bold flavors, and a creative touch that sets it apart from the rest.

From the vibrant atmosphere to the warm and welcoming staff, everything about this spot is designed to make your visit unforgettable. The chefs clearly have a deep passion for their craft, as every dish is thoughtfully prepared to highlight the essence of Mexican flavors—completely reimagined for a vegan audience.

Top it all off with their signature cocktails or refreshing aguas frescas, and you’ve got the perfect meal. Whether you’re vegan or just curious, this is the place to experience the best of what Playa...

We loved our food here but it lost one star (honestly, maybe two but I don’t want to ruin their rating) for the lack of service. People are right, it’s not only SLOW but we also got food we didn’t even order, and then we’re charged for it and had to cancel other items in the case we would be charged for both. We asked for sharing plates right when the food arrived, and they never came. We ended up eating with one hand under the food so it wouldn’t make a mess. Our coconuts took longer than our food to arrive at the table, albeit being ordered 10 minutes before the food. We also came here specifically because another reviewer and a photo of a menu listed a huge and yummy Caesar salad, and we were handed a menu with 6 items to choose from because they were “low on ingredients”. We wanted to love it here and totally support 100% plant based restaurants, but there needs to be better training to make it a 5/5...
