I am a pure vegetarian, did not get vegan food till 5th day of my stay and unfortunately, on the last day of my stay in Mexico City, I found good vegetarian food at Terra Nostra. The nachos and tacos are very delicious, and I enjoyed my meal here. The only drawback is that they close at 6:30 PM and no dinner options are available. There was buffet with varieties of vegan food, we did not tried Buffet.
Very nice and affordable vegetarian restaurant right in the Historic center. We tried the buffet and had a very enjoyable meal. The buffet spread is really expansive. The staff are very friendly
It's a cute little place tucked away on the second floor of an older building. This buffet has been here for many years now and has also been rising in price accordingly to where now the buffet is $189 plus tips. The food is of a great variety but the flavor in some dishes is lacking. The salads are plentiful and you can have a massive amount of food if you want while not trying dishes twice. I went in for lunch and they added new things to the buffet while I was there so maybe they keep switching it up during the day. It's a great option if you're really hungry and downtown but it's not the tastiest. Service is good and it's very low key.
Amazing vegetarian restaurant!! Normally buffets are full of bad food but this buffet is full of healthy, fresh, delicious food. I loved all of the salads and it was nice to try so many things. Plus there was a big fruit buffet which was nice. The staff were really kind and friendly too. Great value for 158 pesos. Highly recommend :-)
Wonderful vegetarian buffet with spacious seating and friendly service. They had a hot food bar (soup too), salad bar, and a fruit/dessert bar. The staff knew the ingredients well and told us which items had sugar added given our dietary restriction. Great place to enjoy a meal with a variety of options. It's situated on the second floor so also a lot quieter than most restaurants.
Our experience here was great. The buffet food was delicious and new food was constantly being added. There was a variety of dishes including Mexican style dishes, several different types of salads (they all had different ingredients), and pasta. There was also a good selection of desserts and fresh fruit. The ambiance was nice, and the waitress was attentive. The prices were great as well. Overall, we really recommend.
We had the veggie lunch buffet and it was amazing! We loved the quality of the food and the service was really good. Everyone was very nice. We are definitely coming back
I enjoyed my experience at Terra. The food was very delicious. Great buffet with wide choices of cold, hot dishes and desserts. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
