Holy vegan meat! This was the most food, best priced option I found in my week in Mexico City. In a city focused on carne this place left me feeling included tin the 'meat' culture, full and satisfied. It really is big if you order everything which I strongly recommend. Flavors were awesome and the salsa options were good too. It's a little stand on the corner cheffed up by two amazing friendly women (at least when I was there). Great spot!

cute vegan food truck with sooo many options! i was def overwhelmed but ended up getting a chorizo torta and omg it was HUGE! so yum but def enough for 2 meals. the women are super nice and helpful (asked for recommendations). there's no seating area but you can stand and eat by the truck to take it to go! they do take card! no wifi but the city wifi works decently. i wish i was here longer to try more things :(

Si estas en la CDMX (no me importa si eres vegano o no), tienes que comer aqui! No te vas a arrepentir. Encontre Gatorta en Instagram gracias a otro amigo vegano y vi sus posts por un par de meses antes de probarlo. Su menu tiene tacos, tortas, gringas, y postres (pastel, dona, pan, cheesecake), pero lo bonito es que ofrece comida especial! Sus postres cambian y le puede sorprender con algo nuevo. Asimismo, tiene platos de temporada como chile en nogada o pan de muerto. Sus tortas son bien grandes y muy ricos - se puede hacer con dos "carnes", en mi caso elegí milanesa y salchicha. Ademas, me parece que el dueno cuida a sus empleados con precauciones del virus como mascarillas, gel antibacterial, y a veces solo servicio a domicilio. La unica cosa mala es que puede ser dificil encontrar su ubicacion. Falle con mis aplicaciones de mapa hasta que me di cuenta que la dirección en mis mapas no era la dirección en su pagina de Instagram. Por eso, si uses mapa en tu telefono, verifica la dirección con las redes sociales.

Stopped by here while running around Roma Norte for a quick dinner - really wonderful and helpful staff and fantastic food! I tried a couple of different tacos not wanting to struggle through understanding the menu. The el pastor are a must and definitely a stand out. The bistec were good too but not quite as. I would definitely recommend swinging by here if you're in the area and interested in some yummy vegan food.

Torta cubana.

Was only able to check this food truck out once while in CDMX. There was a bit of a crowd, but I can't complain about vegan food being popular. Delicious torta cubana! The soy meat is flavorful and with excellent texture. My friend got the milanesa, which she enjoyed. I had a bite of hers and wish I could have eaten a whole other one but they're filling! I also had a cute little donut for dessert. Will certainly return to this spot in the future.

Wonderful vegetarian/vegan option for those seeking to try out those famous Mexican street Tortas and Tacos. Friendly hardworking crew who clearly love serving their customers and care about delivering quality food. They also have non-alcoholic drinks and dessert options. Affordable, delicious, generous portion sizes - a winning combo! I wish there were more vendors like Gatorta around Mexico City!

menú desde junio 2019. tortas $50 MXN, tacos $15 MXN

The best vegan food we had in Mexico city. We ordered two tortas de pastor, and 4 tacos of mixed protein choices. It was so filling

The smell is amazing

Woooooow. I can't begin to describe how happy i was to find an all vegan taco stand in Mexico City. They have everything from vegan horchata to al pastor to cupcakes. Wish I could find one of these street vendors in SoCal. Getting there can be a b*tch as its in the heart of Roma district in mexico city. Took us 40 mins from the airport but totally worth the bumper to bumper traffic. Can't wait to go back for more

The vegan taco scene in Mexico City is really stepping up (as I have read in many blogs) and a visit to Gatorta is a proof of that. Por Siempre - another vegan taco spot is pretty popular, however, not many have heard about Gatorta. We probably would have never gone to Gatorta if it wasn't right next to our hotel and I'm so glad that we did since not visiting this spot would have been a real miss for us. We wanted to get the al Pastor tacos but we went pretty late in the day so they were already out of it. We instead got the Salchica and Chorizo tacos both of which were very very good! I also ate my first ever hot dog here since they had a vegan version of it - it was really yummy too! If you are in Mexico City I would suggest going out of your way to eat here since it's probably the best tacos you will have!

Pastor torta

Delicious tortas. Came for lunch and it was a popular spot. I got a torta with the vegan pastor meat and avocado, and then went back for a little baked good dessert because their dessert display was irresistible. Nice, quick service. Easy to find, just look for the cat logo :)

If you're vegan, in Mexico City, and don't eat here, you should have just stayed home.

This casual food stand serving "tacos de cañasta" (basket tacos) in front of an "El Super" corner…read moreconvenience market was a clear favorite among the locals, the bustling crowd in front evidence of its favor. Basket tacos are steamed corn tortilla tacos with simple fillings kept warm and served from a basket. These simple creations serve as quick, cheap and easy lunch options for the day workers. Their simplicity is what makes them so incredible; pure comfort food. We ordered a chicharron and papas taco. It was seriously like 10-15 MXN per taco. Gobbled these up with its ultra tender contents. They have a ton of toppings on the side and even a much revered green sauce to add all the flavors. Otherwise, on their own, they are still quite yummy. Eat standing up and pay when you are done, the honor system in full play here. It definitely beat searching down a sit down restaurant or eating at one of the touristy eateries within the Coyoacan Market.

Always delicious and reliable tacos de canasta in Coyoacan!…read more After watching The Tacos Chronicles on Netflix, my husband got in his head that he wanted to try tacos de canasta. The difficult thing about the tacos de canasta is that they "move" and they are usually not in just "one place", so we were happy to find two guys which sell them every day at the same spot! They are conveniently located two blocks from Frida and Diego's house in Coyoacan and in front of a bodega. We tried their chicharron and bean tacos, and they were delicious! Their salsa verde was the BOMB! Tacos de canasta are very cheap and a few pesos can take you a long way. Please don't try to pay with large bills or credit cards. You pay after you finish eating, because you can always order more after eating a couple of tacos. PS: This location is not the one from the show, but I am using it as a reference so y'all know which type of tacos I am talking about.
