Hi guys!
Today I’m sharing with you the best vegan food in all of Mexico City.
I tried a ton of places and in this video I’ve rounded up the best of the best.
First up is what I’ve come to think of as the hub for vegan food in Mexico City.
It’s located at Casa Quimera in Roma Norte, which is my favourite neighbourhood in the whole city.
And this is kind of like ground zero because there are a ton of different vegan food options
all located in one beautiful historic building.
They have indoor and outdoor seating.
At night they have heaters with candles, it’s a beautiful place to go and sit.
They also have free wifi and there’s a ton of different options so if you’re in a group of people
or you just want to sample different things, it’s a great place to start.
One of my favourites there is Vegan Planet.
This is a delicious place to go for breakfast.
I love their gluten-free pancakes and if you go as soon as they open between 12 noon and 1pm,
you will get a free juice and a free tea
with your breakfast, which also comes with fresh fruit.
They serve lunch and dinner as well but my favourite is breakfast.
My other favourite place at Casa Quimera is called [La] Pitahaya [Vegana].
It serves vegan tacos on PINK tacos!
I’ve never seen that before and they are absolutely delicious.
The Crudivegano was my favourite.
My other favourite taco was the cauliflower, which also comes with coconut cream,
coleslaw and pineapple.
Those two are my absolute favourite and I did try them all so if you find yourself there,
you should check them out.
I also recommend their water of the day, which when I was always there was jamaica
sweetened with agave nectar.
It’s delicious!
At Casa Quimera you can also find a vegan ramen place
and they have a gluten-free bakery for dessert.
Forever Vegano has a great full menu of food and drinks but it was my favourite place
to just sit on their patio and people watch while you’re enjoying your meal.
I had lunch there, I never got there in time for breakfast but it also looked delicious.
Next up is a place I never thought I would find in Mexico City.
It’s actually my favourite restaurant back at home in Canada.
It’s called Fresh.
I was walking through the streets of Mexico City and I could not believe
when I saw there was a Fresh Restaurant right around the corner from where I was staying.
I love this place and I had no idea that they now have locations in Mexico City and Moscow
and Toronto if you happen to be in Canada.
They have a beautiful space with lots of room, fresh juices, all kinds of delicious foods and desserts.
My personal favourite is the Buddha Bowl because I love the peanut sauce.
My next favourite is the absolute best value you will ever find for vegan food in Mexico City.
It’s vegan street tacos!
It’s a place called Por Siempre Vegana, it’s incredible!
I went back to this place and back to this place and back to this place.
It’s amazing value for the money, they’re the nicest people and super, super delicious
vegan tacos.
I had two favourites: the seitán al chimichurri and the chorizo rojo were outstanding
and I’m just salivating thinking of those right now.
Definitely pay a little bit extra for the soy cheese, it’s some of the best I’ve ever had
and make sure you get it with pineapple if you want a sweetness on top.
After my first time there, I had to tell them how amazing I thought it was
and they gave me a piece of complimentary vegan cheesecake, which was also delicious.
You honestly will not get a better deal for vegan food in Mexico City.
Last up, I have to include a place where you can go and get an amazing dessert after your meal.
This place is called Ice Cream Nation and it’s really unique.
They make the ice cream using liquid nitrogen.
It’s so cool to see how they do it.
They offer regular dairy options and also almond milk and coconut milk.
I had the Banana Fit, which was made with coconut milk and plantain.
Marc had the Almond Milk and Nutella, which I have to admit was better,
I kept stealing his.
What he doesn’t realize is I’m going to eat both.
One thing to be aware of is that because it’s made with liquid nitrogen
and it’s very very popular, it does take a little while to make.
I think we waited about 40 minutes.
However, their timing is extremely accurate.
So we ordered, we went away, we came back and it was ready within 5 minutes
of when they said it would be.
So this place is super unique and delicious so if you need something sweet after your meal,
head to Ice Cream Nation.
I was really happy to find so many incredible vegan options.
These are the best and if you find yourself in Mexico City,
I hope that you will check them out.
And please send me a picture because I’m already missing all these places
as I’m talking about them and I need to go back and eat there!
Ahhh!
Mmm, wow, mmm, hahaha!
