If you are Vegan and visiting Mexico City, this place is a must! Everything here is Vegan. Food is delicious and reflects amazingly the typical dishes of the Mexican Cuisine. Monday through Friday they offer what is called "The Menu" (open from 1 pm to 6 pm), where you get 2 entries and a main dish, accompanied by a glass of 'agua fresca', salsa and a small dessert. All this for around $99 Mexican pesos ($4.50 US dollars in April 2021). If you go after 6 pm Monday through Friday; on Saturday; on Sunday or basically anytime Gold Taco is open, you can order, "A la Carta", that in other words is the regular menu. My favorite dishes are Pozole (with a special offer every Thursday where you can order 2 for the price of 1); flautas with rice and enmoladas with your choice of 'meat' (remember, everything here is Vegan. Cream, cheese and desserts. All is Vegan!). There is a downside though. They changed the kind of oil used to fry some dishes and at least for me, is to much grease for my body to digest. My wife didn't have any problem eating the same dish but I felt terrible. I only ask for pozole, tacos (or anything from the grill) or a torta. Restroom is clean and you can wash your hands without entering the toilet. Staff is kind and food is served within a reasonable time and at the right temperature. Street parking is kind of hard to get but not impossible. Nevertheless, if you are using public transportation, access is simple, easy and cheap (if you are not using Uber or a Taxi Cab). Check their hours during this pandemic time since they close around 8 pm (don't get there at 7:50 pm or 7:45 pm since they could be already closed) and at 10 pm on Friday u0026 Saturday.
