You won’t find a better restaurant in Playa (and now Tulum!) if you care about what you put in your body!
I opened a cold-pressed juice bar in San Diego and to maintain a high-level of quality is such a high bar — Tierra Verde sets the standard for real food in Mexico.
It is a BLESSING to be able to eat at a restaurant so delicious, caring, thoughtful, and high integrity. I basically only eat here now!! It’s that good!
From the INCREDIBLE team that treat you like family (not exaggerating!!), to the DELICIOUS food, great menu, thoughtful preparation from growing the food to your plate.
It’s about as good as it gets, I would go here immediately if you can.
Thank you Santiago, Diego, and the whole family that makes it happen! This place is such a God send for me to fuel up and enjoy some delicious vibes in PDC — discovering Tierra Verde exists is more appreciated than you could ever imagine!!

In only two days time I came here 4 times for meals and coffee.
Service and ambiance is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ with beautiful seating, plants and decorations indoors and outdoors. The music is also lovely. The server, Solange, is so beautiful and attentive - she made sure I felt welcome and taken care of. I was also attended by others who were all kind and courteous.
The coffee is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ in both flavour and preparation. The quality of the food is also wonderful, but there were some issues for me. In the morning there were no greens at all, no kale, spinach, broccoli, cucumbers. I ordered a meal with extra tofu and that was missing. What I did eat was beautiful and tasty, but nutritionally it was missing the greens/tofu. I also ordered the Abundancia toast and the bread was high quality and the presentation was lovely. The flavor though was overly salty .
Highly recommended, and I'm sure your food will be perfect.

We've been to PDC twice now and am always blown away by the vegan options but this has to be our favorite place to eat. We are here 3-4 times during our week stay. I highly recommend the plantain tacos, Gaia panini! They were very friendly and sweet even though we spoke limited Spanish and we never felt judged for it. This is a great breakfast and/or lunch place and it's on the quieter side of 5th away from so many tourists but close enough it's easy to walk too especially if you are staying on 38th.

I've been to every vegan restaurant in the city and this is by far the best one. Perfect balance of fresh ingredients, amazing flavor, and a large variety of delicious salads, bowls, tacos and smoothies. The tofu bowl was so tasty with tons of veggies and not overloaded with rice or sauce. I can't stop coming here, it's just so much better than anything else nearby.

Wow, what a pristine gem in-between stereotypes. Yes, it is vegan but it has some class food. Especially the detox shots and the power smoothies are something you would need after partying enough in Playa Del Carmen.

Tierra Verde is my favorite option for genuinely clean and healthy food in Playa. Love the variety of raw dishes, freshly made juices and amazing vegan comfort foods that you can tell are made from scratch with quality ingredients, no cheap oils or processed stuff used. Quantities are generous, and I always feel satisfied and nourished after eating here. Don’t skip dessert, the raw Vanilla Chocolate Cheesecake and Ensueño de Chocolate are incredible healthy treats. The restaurant space feels like a little oasis on 5th Avenue, lots of plants, crystals and high-vibrational medicine music create a perfectly relaxing atmosphere. Absolutely recommended if you want to nourish yourself naturally!

The food is absolutely phenomenal! For someone who is not vegan to choose this restaurant as my "go to" repeatedly is definitely saying something. The food has always been fresh and the prices are reasonable. The vegan cheese on the herbivores delight was shockingly delicious.
As for the atmosphere, its relaxed. The restaurant is full of beautiful plants and natural wood. The feel is of an oasis on 5th Avenue.

From my very first dinner at Tierra Verde, it’s been one of my favorites spots to eat and connect with friends. Beyond being a foodie, I’m a plant-based culinary instructor and nutritionist, and feel very confident that this is one of the most nourishing restaurants in all of playa. The ingredients are whole foods and top-notch quality, the flavors are phenomenal, and you can taste that it’s all made with love. Just being in the restaurant is soothing and refreshing for the soul. I can’t recommend Tierra Verde enough, whether you’re local or only here for a day. Buen provecho!
The food was pretty good and the place is nice and well located. I recommend the jackfruit tacos.
