    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

We then kicked things off with the arancini, which set the tone right away--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly done. For mains, we shared a spread and honestly couldn't pick a favorite: the Octopus Tacos were tender and packed with flavor, the Rabbit Tacos were unique and delicious, and the roasted seasonal vegetables "al mojo de ajo" were simple but so satisfying. The marinated pan-fried salmon and fresh trout were both beautifully cooked and thoughtfully seasoned. Every dish felt intentional, beautifully presented and well executed. But the real showstoppers were the desserts. The fresh goat cheesecake with orange, grapefruit, and lemon was bright and perfectly balanced, and the whisky chocolate crème brûlée was rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Desserts truly knocked it out of the park. Bonus points for the cocktails--my hubby was a huge fan. Great food, great drinks, excellent service and relaxed ambiance made for a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend adding Temporal to your Mexico City dining list.

Then, allow the friendly staff to bring as many items from the menu as you can handle. Come with a group so you can share. An absolute must is the whole fish done à la Contramar, one side of the split fish coated in a punchy parsley sauce and the other in a red adobo rub. Served with flour tortillas (which are refillable) and black bean dip, you'll be instructed how to compose perfect bites. Then, choose your own adventure! We also had both the 4 piece each shrimp tostadas and tuna tostadas. Radically different so getting both doesn't duplicate. The pasta (spaghettini) with clams was buttery and garlicky and the pasta was surprisingly not overcooked. Biggest surprise was the grilled soft shell crabs (with corn tortillas). They came pre cut then reassembled so it was easy to pick them up and pop them in your mouth. The grill flavor was fantastic and we were all impressed. We finished with a slice of coconut cake which was like a caramel coated macaroon. Perfect! Large wine list by the glass and bottle, many cocktails, sangria and beer to choose from. Definitely a place to visit when in Mexico City. Sorry for the lack of photos-- we forgot because we dove into each dish (we were hungry and they looked so good)! Got one good one though...

Even though they have…read moreseveral locations across CDMX, we stumbled upon one just a short walk from our hotel--and the fact that they were open on Christmas Day already earned bonus points. What really says it all? We loved it so much, we went back the very next day. This was the only restaurant we repeated during our week-long stay, which should tell you everything. The menu is extensive and thoughtfully curated--fresh, flavorful, and something for everyone. We tried the croissant sandwich, salmon deli nut sandwich, chutney mango deli sandwich, santos ahogados, fig chipotle deli sandwich, pear honey deli sandwich, and the spicy tuna deli sandwich. The sandwiches came with a standard simple salad. Every single item was delicious, well-balanced, and satisfying in that "clean but filling" way. The tables had two delicious spicy chili oil like condiments which elevated each of these dishes. And the juices--WOW. So refreshing, vibrant, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The perfect complement to the food and ideal for starting (or resetting) your day. If you're visiting Mexico City, Ojo de Agua is an absolute must. With such a wide menu, you're guaranteed to find something you'll love--and very likely come back for more. Highly recommend!

We tried a few juices, the chicken tomato salad and the salmon tacos. The salad was huge with a big portion of chicken, avocado and many toppings for a reasonable price. The tacos were smaller but flavorful. Taking off a star because my salad arrived almost 15 minutes before my boyfriend's tacos arrived and the restaurant was pretty empty. The lights were out in the bathroom and in part of the restaurant, so not sure if they were dealing with a partial power outage and impact to the kitchen. Still recommend for the food!
