Riviera Maya Mexico - A Vegan Paradise?

I know it´s been a while since my last post, but Ive been currently busy with stuff. Adulting is not easy  at all!  But here I am, eager to share some precious information about my piece of heaven, also known as Riviera Maya Mexico.

This article is dedicated to the ones who are Vegan or have friends or family Vegan and are close to come here for Holidays. You might think that Mexico is a little behind in some stuff but food is not the case. There are amazing vegan restaurants that are actually affordable and serve one of the best food of the area. I´m of course listing pretty much every Vegan place you can find in Riviera Maya.

• In Puerto Morelos you can find La Sirena restaurant, which is more like a "fondita". It has a homy style and they serve the type of food your mom would prepare for you. Delicious dishes with rice, hand made tortillas, beans and fresh fruity water. 
• In Playa del Carmen you ill find a lot more vegan restaurants. La Senda restaurant you would say is the "high end" vegan restaurant in town. The pozole they serve is absolutely delicious. Then there is one of my favorites; Comet 984 with a 50´s Rock & Roll theme. Offering all types of burgers, corn dogs and heavenly milkshakes. Marvin´s Burgers is another hidden treasure, the "chickita" burger is the top of the top. And their home made frieds have no equal. There is also Clorofila restaurant, Nektar Peace & Love food, Bio Organics and The Pitted Date. Each one with a different style but same amazing service, food and affordable rates.  
• In Tulum you will find La Hoja Verde right on the pueblo main Avenue. Co. Con Amor restaurant on the bike road from Tulum pueblo to the beach. And my absolute favorite vegan place in the world; Charlys Vegan Tacos at the end of Tulum beach road. I would say they prepare the tacos with magic hands and they add unicorn dust as spices, I don´t know. But if you visit the place and you miss the "chicharron verde" tacos, is like you never went. 

                                               VEGAN  MARKETS  AND  FESTIVALS

It would stop being Mexico if we didn´t make a party out of this theme too. And so we have a few Vegan festivals and Markets during the year. Where you can find organic products, home made food, beauty products, clothes, shoes and more. Most of the markets have free access and 100% family friendly. The Tulum Vegan Fest is the only one with an entrance fee because all proceeds go to support local organizations in pro of stray animals or rescue organizations. The conferences cover very important topics like nutrition, special diets to treat diseases and personal experiences that help you during the process of becoming vegan. All these events are not excusive but rather inclusive for all the people (vegan or not) who would love to attend. It is the perfect opportunity to invite your family or friends to discover new food options or find out more about this life style.
