Amazingly meaty tortas and really affordable. As others have said, these are cooked with a LOT of oil, but if you're after healthy eating, why are you even here?

We also bought the chocolate sponge fingers, which were amazing; just like Cadburys Mini Rolls.

After watching several YouTube videos giving great reviews about this place, we decided to include it in our "go-to list" of vegan places during our recent trip to CDMX. We visited it this past weekend and we DO NOT recommend this place. It was the worst experience we had eating in CDMX during our 8-day trip. Why? Because we got sick from food poisoning after eating at this place. We are still in our recovery process and it has been tough.

The first impression we had of the area and surroundings (not that clean and horrid smells) gave us a hint of the possibility of getting sick but we thought it came from the nearby food stalls and not from Gatorta. After ordering, we waited half an hour for our food. While standing several feet from the stall, we watched as the cook poured cups and cups of oil into the fake meat while sautéing it. We thought it was a special order; that maybe someone wanted their food extra oily. But no. Each order was being made this way.

We already had ordered so we decided to try it because we were very hungry. We went only halfway through our food. The flavor was ok but the food was excessively greasy. At night, we noticed we started having very unusal symptoms (we've gotten food poisoning only once and it was in another country we visited years ago). Painful stomach aches/cramps, diarrhea, chills, headaches, hazy feeling, and severe indigestion. It has been almost 5 days since we ate at this place and we are still feeling sick.

After having this experience, we decided to read reviews of Gatorta on different platforms. They all present more than 10 accounts of different people getting food poisoning from eating at Gatorta. And so we wished we had read this before...

To the potential customers: Please consider it MANY times before eating at this place if you want to continue your trip feeling healthy.

To the owner: Step up to your business. Reconsider your methods. Be on point with your cleanliness. Ensure food quality and take care of your clients. You are currently not going in the right direction.

Out of this world good! Vegan tortas that will trick non-vegans. I got the milanesa torta and it was delicious, perfectly textured, crunchy, flavorful, and spicy if you add the sauces.

Note that there’s a bit of a wait at this place, for us it was 10-15 minutes.

Incredible tacos! Some of the best vegan food I've had in CDMX. Very friendly staff! Bring your meat eating friend's here! They'll love it too! Huge portions as well!

This place has the best desserts. Their brownies, cheesecakes, donuts, tiramisu etc. are all very delicious. Their tacos are too really good but their dessert game is strong. It's not costly at all and they got fast service. Can eat there on a Saturday without having to wait half an hour in the line to order. Strongly recommended.

Really nice vegan food from this tiny street kiosk. There’s not really a place to sit so we had to take our food and look for a bench.
I’ve had better vegan Mexican street food here in the city, but I’m spoiled now from the huge diversity and options. Would recommend a try.

Today I had a super delicious tiramisu and I’m very tempted to return to get more of it. Love this place. By the way the sandwiches are huge and great too.
