Atmosphere and smoothies are excellent - Edit
The location, the outdoor seating is beautiful, the atmosphere and the staff are friendly. The smoothies were amazing, I drank mine in probably 30 seconds I couldnt put it down. The food was good but what we had was not the best in our opinion (chorizo sausage sandwich plantain tacos) The sandwich bread was too big and too crispy it was difficult to bite, it waa very flavourful still, the plantains felt like maybe something was missing, the way the plantains tasted on their own was excellent. Would still highly recommend to check this place out!

Had higher expectations - Edit
I was really looking forward to eating here as the reviews and pics look great. It wasn’t bad but I was expecting far better. I wouldn’t recommend ordering hot coffees here, some of the worst we’ve had and we travel full time all over the world. Staff were amazing and replaced our coffees with coffee frappes for free at no extra charge which were good. The hotcakes were good however some of them were slightly burnt. Smoothie bowl was good but we’ve also had better locally. The banana bread was dry and lacked flavour 😞
Read moreI would come back however there are lots of other places to try.
Have returned since our first visit and the food and drinks have all been great. Unfortunately attention to detail is lacking with minor errors in our orders but overall it’s a good restaurant.

It was my favorite one - Edit
This place has been a disappointment lately, I'm not sure what's happening here but it's not as it was anymore. Lacks a bit of love and taste, but also customer service, less attitude and better service.

Best Vegan Restaurant I've ever been! - Edit
By now, me and my family travelled quite a lot. But Tierra Verde was by far the best restaurant that we’ve visited until now.
Read moreWe ate at Tierra Verde almost everyday during our 3 week stay in Playa del Carmen. And yes, our account had to recover quite some time, but we do not regret it.
We ate and drank our way through the entire menu and every dish was fresh and prepared with love. The menu offers something for every taste, really. No matter if sweet, savory or refreshing. You’ll find something at Tierra Verde.
Tierra Verdes Stafff tries to get all supplies from local distributors, from coconuts to sprouts which is an admirable effort.
Beyond this, the atmosphere in the restaurant is peaceful and everybody was so kind and friendly. You can tell that everyone at Tierra Verde puts their heart and soul into it.
Thank you for this culinary experience! If we should ever visit Playa again, Tierra Verde will be our first stop!
Greetings from Germany to Santi, his family and his team!
(from these two idiots who visited tierra verde every day last year in june and only now made it to write the review it deserved. maybe you remember us (still)?
Pros: Fresh, delicious (the best!) food, Supplies from local distributors, Smoothiess, Salads, Breakfasts and Lunches

A lovely place with healthy and DELICIOUS food! - Edit
I ate here 2 times during my stay in Playa. I ordered the small Pachamama smoothie and with I had gotten the large! I highly recommend it. I also had their quesadillas, omelettes, and toast. Everything was delicious but the quesadillas with the potato cheese was probably my favorite. The atmosphere is refreshing and the workers are super helpful. The place has a nice breezy feel and delicious food!

Unsatisfactory - Edit
We went there at 4pm. Menu looked good. However, they were out of too many ingredientsm making it very difficult to construct 2 dinners. We had to walk out. They did not have any juices except orange, no raw warps, no Chickpeas, no beans, no brown rice. Very deficient for a vegan meal.
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere, Polite helpful waiter
Cons: They were out of many basic ingredients, could not construct 2 vegan dinners

Wonderful all vegan restaurant!!! - Edit
We had all three kinds of empanadas that they make and all were delicious. My wife had never had an empanada before and she was amazed at how delicious these empanadas were. The one with mushrooms was our favourite. We also had a guacamole appetizer that had fresh carrots, cucumbers and freshly made nachos to dip into the guacamole that was excellent. Our server was a wonderful fellow who made it his mission to make sure we loved everything. And we did. Prices were reasonable. We added beverages and the total bill was less than $40 Canadian. I highly recommend this establishment.
Read morePros: 1. The food was delicious., 2. The prices were reasonable., 3. The service was very personable.
Cons: 1. There were no cons in our experience.

Cute and hippie-ish - Edit
This is a cute, hippie-ish vegan cafe not far from the main drag, which is worth popping over to for breakfast or lunch. It was nice to find tofu and to get a source of protein that wasn’t beans. I don’t usually care about seeking out western food when traveling and prefer to eat the local food as best I can; however, this place was worth breaking with that for because it was adorable and laid-back. I admit it wasn’t the best meal I had in PDC but it’s nice to have the whole menu available to vegans and the food is healthy and tasty.

My fave place in PDC - Edit
Honestly when this place opened I was so happy finally a real health focussed organic place with wonderful menu, lovely staff and owner is always so helpful and friendly. People who complain about the wait need to understand good food is not fast food! I hardly eat elsewhere to be honest and bringing my friend this year she agrees. We also love working here as good WiFi. Still working our way through the menu! #Veganuary

Bad service, small portions - Edit
Don't come here if u r really hungry. Plan on waiting 30 minutes to get served, often there is 1 waiter,(in a bad mood, very slow), to wait on the whole restaurant. The portions are small, for the price. The potato tacos are tasteless, as is the sweet potato soup,(1/3 filled in a tiny bowl). The hamburger is 12.00 dollars, and u cant even see the patty, its all bread. Food, Mediocre at best. No flavor in the dishes.
Read moreThere is a great place right next door, serving Asian noodles, and vegan dishes. Tierra Verde is run by Argentian people, not a authentic, Mexican place.
Updated from previous review on 2023-12-20
Pros: It's outside, Far location
Cons: Small portions, Lack of dishes as listed on menu. Uncomfortable se, Hamburger, all bread
LouiseJayneSimpson
Good food is not fast food and shame you had a bad experience as the waiters and waitresses that all work here for a pittance are always so lovely. This is my second year visiting since Tierra Verde opened. Also far location from where? Where I stay in quiet residential area this is actually not as far as most other vegan places.

Top Rated for a Reason - Edit
What a great place this is. I enjoyed it so much that I actually ate here twice the other day. The vibe is great, the menu is HUGE (which isn’t always a positive because quality can suffer), the servers were the nicest, and the food was delicious. They have a raw section on the menu which is really nice when you want a break from the tacos and tortillas. A do not miss while in Playa del Carmen.

Unbelievable variety, nice ambient - Edit
They offer an amazing variety of vegan dishes and nearly EVERYTHING is available as an glutenfree option! Even lasagna, pasta and pizza. But the most amazing dishes are the bowls 🤤🤤🤤 It's a little bit pricey (as everything in this area), but it's worth it, healthy as f*ck and tasty!

Excellence worth getting wet for - Edit
We were walking 25 minutes through the pouring raing to get there and were rewarded with a meal that enlightened our hearts.
Read moreThe owner is a vegan himself, was very helpful with choosing from the wide variety of options and even offered us a free starter. We planned on sharing one soup, but he was convinced we would regret having only ordered one, so he gave us one soup for free.
To say the main courses (Buddha Bowl and Pasta Rustica) were delicious, would be an understatement. The taste left us with smiles on our faces. As we sat there and talked, the rain continued. He then offered us a free tea to make our wait more enjoyable. He was so kind to take care of all of our needs without us asking for or expecting it.
I solely created this account (which I normally avoid) to give this restaurant the best review I can.
Would go back there 100 times if i could, through sun, wildfires and thunderstorms.
10/10 Recommendation.
The reason for his lovely treatment seems to be his mantra: "First we are humans, then friends and only after that costumers and servants!"
All Love for this Restaurant and his owner. LOVE IT!!!
Pros: Taste and plating of food, Owner - encounter as human, Location (not to loud, no vehicles passing)

was there with you. Would love to go back and kiss you again in the rain🤍🤍🤍
