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!

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

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 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.

Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

Found on Yelp as we were in the area. Yelp rating is earned. Came in at dinner time, like 5:45 on a…read moreweekday. Sent to 2nd for right away and seated right away as place was maybe 1/2 full. No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.

Summary- Spectacular lunch. No notes…read more Food- 5 stars Everything that came to table was amazing... fish tacos on two formats, one fried, one al pastor both awesome. Shrimp toastados also great, white wine clam pasta was very good. Service- 5 stars Friendly, fast, helpful- just all around great. Atmosphere- 5 stars Welcoming, bustling but not super loud. Drinks- 5 stars 10/10 Carajillo and the Jamaica mezcal was outstanding.

We made a reservation for 1pm on à Sunday. You must make them an advance. Not sure what the wait…read moretime would be but it was already packed when we arrived. Very busy restaurant and located in a very lovely area. The staff was amazing and in sync. We started with some cocktails - the guava mezcalita and jamaica mezcalita and also the chardonnay that was very tasty. Here's what we had: -Tostadas de atun(tuna tostadas)- must get -Ensalada de Pulpo con patatas tibias con albhaca(octopus with potatoes and basil) - octopus wasn't very good and there was no flavor -Pescado à la talla Contramar(grilled whole fish with salsas on top)I would only get the one with just the red sauce, the green sauce didn't have a lot of flavor. This is very filling and enough for 4 people -Tacos de Pescado estilo Ensenada(fried fish tacos) - these were ok The dessert, though!! This is what the extra star is for - The Meringue with Fresas(meringue cake with strawberries)- OMG soooo good. Even after how incredibly full we were, we could not stop eating this. Delicious and so unique but with the classic flavor of strawberries and whipped cream. Don't forget to add a carajillo! À delicious coffee drink with coffee liqueur.
