  We were looking for an inexpensive place with good Mexican vegetarian options. Nativo fit the bill for us, twice. We got the same dishes, twice. Vegetarian enchiladas and vegetarian tostadas. Delicious!
  
  The walk-up is a little odd, as you enter through the kitchen area to get to the stairs to the dining area on the second floor. And the high-contrast flood lighting in the dining area isn't the most atmospheric touch. But, those are small quibbles given the fantastic food. Highly recommended!

  This place is known for its fresh juices and shakes. And for a little over $2 per juice it's well worth it. They also have a all day menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner including one of the places I've found mole enchiladas. Service could be improved, but the location is convenient. This is a favorite of ours when visiting Playa.

  This place is awesome!! They have delicious fruit smoothies all day in either a 700 ml cup or 1000ml both very sizable portions. I got the cenote smoothie 3 times during our stay in playa because we kept going back. The service is very good and friendly. I had the chilaquiles with chicken for breakfast and the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I didn't like the chicken that much and there was too much chicken on my plate for my taste. The chilaquiles verdes themselves were amazing though! Really recommend you visit this place.

  If you're in Playa del Carmen you have to come here for breakfast! Their smoothies, juices, milkshakes, (the list goes on..) are as fresh as you can get them. Underneath the restaurant is a small shop with a variety of fruits that they use in your drink. So it's fresh, ice cold and only $40MXN (~$2USD) for a liter! My favorite one is called CHISPITA, it has pineapple, prickly pear, lime and orange juice all fresh and blended perfectly! For breakfast a must try are the CHILAQUILES: tostadas, beans, red or green salsa with your choice of meat (I  have them plain) and some queso fresco. I think plate is big enough to split between two people and it'll cost you about $70MXN ($3-4USD). I have tried several of their other dishes but since I wouldn't be able to capture the essence of what it'll do to your tastebuds then all I can say is you must come feast on the food, drinks, and the artwork on  on your trip to Playa

  This place was disgusting. I got the vegetarian enchiladas and asked for it to be vegan. It came out with sour cream and cream sauce on it. They remade it but I don't know if they just scraped it off or what because it came back a little "used" looking.
  
  There was some kind of smell to the food. I couldn't tell if it was the smell of the can or it was something rotting. It was a mix of dish water smell, rusty can and something else.
  
  I couldn't eat it.
  
  Their soup was ok but most of the vegetables is cheap potato.
  
  The fruit smoothies are ok but that's hard to mess up. There's tons of places that make smoothies and juices--why come here?
