El Vegetariano - Tulum

Food isn't the best and portions are small but it's a cozy small space. I asked for a beyond burguer and it didn't look like the original but still tasty and the cold coconut water wasn't that cold.

Pretty basic fare here. We were both disappointed. The taco literally just had uncooked tofu. The burger was bland. The yuca fries were undercooked and paltry. Skip it.

The chiles rellenos had a sauce that I liked, though it included a slice of uncooked tofu that felt like an afterthought that might as well have been left off. The falafel was OK. Smoothies were A+. Guacamole was just average for a restaurant in México, by which I mean spectacular. The menu is mostly cheese-heavy, and being the sort of place that would understand the question, I asked about the origin of the rennet (Spanish: cuajo), and was told that it's of animal origin. I'm docking them 1.5 stars for having a menu that is mostly the product of animal slaughter. If you're meatless and OK with veal-derived rennet, read this as a 3.5 or 4 star review.

My smoothie with mango, orange strawberry was really good. You also get a free starter: tortilla chips with a delicious salsa sauce. Unfortunately the falafel pita was a bit dry.

The location is very nice, staff is friendly. Taste is not bad but not special, average. Rather expensive. Three quesadillas with guac 140 MXN. Agua del dia was not cold.
