    Although I do appreciate that they have so many vegan and vegetarian options, the food here is not…read moreat a great value, portions were scanty and the food did not reflect the ingredients listed on the menu. I also must say that the waitresses were rathet grumpy, looked tired and acted annoyed so I could not speak well of the customer service. For there reasons I had to keep it at two stars although I do appreciate that it was a healthier alternative to other restaurants nearby. I ordered the Chile Relleno de Picadillo de Championes (stuffed pepper with minced mushrooms) however there was no dried cranberries or almonds like the menu promised. I also didn't notice any mango curry sauce either. The brown rice it came with was mushy and too salty on top and the "serving of vegetables" was soo small. Just not worth the 130 pesos for such a small stuffed pepper that looked nothing like the picture on some of the other reviews which I am starting to wonder might be fake. My partner ordered the sopa de cacahuate for 40 pesos and the Chile relleno de Platano Macho which came with rice and beans for 80 pesos. As you can tell from the picture, they used the smallest pepper possible and being that plantains, beans and rice are so cheap I don't know how they can justify 80 pesos. We liked the baked tortilla chips (which was a much healthier option than fried tortilla chips) and the four small slices of chewy sourdough bread but did not like the sauce at all which my partner also wasn't a big fan of. The peanut soup was good and I enjoyed the peanuts with the peas ... it was unique and the process for that was actually more reasonable at 50 pesos. It could have used more spices however!! The waitresses looked so miserable and seemed annoyed at the customers ... the food actually tastes better if you ignore them. There are many vegetarian options in Oaxaca so I would recommend going somewhere else!

    I really enjoyed my meal here! Wasn't expecting to find a veg*n restaurant, since I was warned…read moreMexico loves carne, but I'm really happy I stumbled in. The plantain and hibiscus taquitos were delicious, and the little bread/tortilla basket with hot sauce was a nice and complimentary starter. I regret getting the local soda into of one of the house made aguas frescas. I skipped dessert since I was too full, but might have to go back for one of the chocolate postres; they sounded fantastic.

    This place is super friendly and cheap with lots of vegan options. I was just in Oaxaca for a week…read moreand we visited this business at least 5 or 6 times! The staff is really friendly. I like their food -they have homemade vegan soyrizo (that you can buy to go). Unfortunately I am not too crazy about their bread (the burger is great but I kinda had to eat around the bun). Homemade salsas are fantastic and they have their own vegan cheese.

    This place is really fantastic and a must visit. As a vegan living in Oaxaca, I am so grateful for…read morethis business! They have a little juice bar, a small restaurant with vegan and vegetarian options, a grocery section with health/ nutritional items, and a fridge behind the checkout that has really great soy, setan, and amaranth meat alternatives. The best part about trigo verde is it's very affordable!! I found some of their nutritional items (ex. Nutritional yeast) to be pricer then other naturalistas in the area. Their fresh food, however, is very affordable. I come just for their fridge of fresh food items. The hummus and the steak looking fake meat are delicious! Also try the amaranth burger! I hear that on Monday they have comida corrida all vegan (meatless Monday special cheap menu) but I haven't confirmed this yet. Everyone who works here is friendly and knowledgeable. They seem like they actually want to help you and they really care about health, which i haven't seen in the naturalistas I've visited. Also, there is a manager who is sometimes here who speaks perfect English... always a plus. He told me that this is a family business, another plus! The only reason I took off a star was I had a salad here once and it was very bland and boring. It had pasta, garbanzo beans, and somewhat stale lettuce. Next time I'll just have a tostada or an amaranth burger Thanks trigo verde family for bringing these options to Oaxaca and making veganism more accessible! ------- Este lugar es realmente fantástico y una visita obligada. Como vegano viviendo en Oaxaca, ¡estoy muy agradecido por este negocio! Tienen una pequeña barra de jugos, un pequeño restaurante con opciones veganas y vegetarianas, una sección de comestibles con artículos de salud / nutricionales y una nevera detrás de la caja que tiene realmente excelentes alternativas de carne de soya, setan y amaranto. La mejor parte sobre el trigo verde es que es muy asequible. Encontré algunos de sus elementos nutricionales (por ejemplo, levadura nutricional) para ser más prietos que otros naturalistas en el área. Su comida fresca, sin embargo, es muy asequible. Vengo solo por su nevera de alimentos frescos. El hummus y el bistec buscando carne falsa son deliciosos! ¡Prueba también la hamburguesa de amaranto! Escuché que el lunes tienen comida corrida todo vegana (menú barato de lunes sin carne) pero aún no lo he confirmado. Todos los que trabajan aquí son amables y conocedores. Parece que realmente quieren ayudarlo y realmente se preocupan por la salud, algo que no he visto en los naturalistas que he visitado. Además, hay un gerente que algunas veces habla inglés perfecto ... siempre es una ventaja. Él me dijo que esto es una empresa familiar, ¡otra ventaja! Agradece a la familia de trigo verde por traer estas opciones a Oaxaca y hacer que el veganismo sea más accesible

A great item to order to try a bunch of finger foods from this region was the Botana Zandunga, which came with garnachas (mini tortillas topped with beef, salsa, onions, cheese, pickled cabbage), molotes de platano (plantain fritters stuffed with cheese/cream), empanadas (corn tortillas stuffed with beef), tamal de elote (sweet corn tamal), tamalito de cambray (tamal filled with beef stew), bolitas de queso (fried cheese balls), tacos dorados de cochito (fried rolled tacos stuffed with pork), and pico de gallo (chopped tomatoes/onions/cilantro topped with dried shrimp). Each of these items was unique in flavor and texture, and it was fun to try so many different little bites! Next, the Ensalada Zandunga was a simple salad of lettuce, tomate, cheese, basil, and a berry vinaigrette. We also had two local main dishes--the Cochito Horeneado were pork ribs baked in an ancho chile adobo, served with a spiced potato puree and corn tortillas; and the Estofado del Istmo was a shredded beef stew cooked with fruits, served with potato puree, pan bollo (toasted bread), and queso mantequilla (butter cheese). Overall, everything here was tasty, and the beautiful setting made for a nice place for a relaxed meal.
