Planeta Vegetariana

Planeta Vegetariana Review

Those who stumble upon this hogless heaven can "pig out" on tasty, meatless carne asada and a selection of main dishes that changes daily. Choose from at least three healthful yet unexciting main dishes, plus beans, several types of rice, and a soup at this unassuming buffet-only place. Though the selection of overdressed salads is good, the greens tend to be wilted or soggy. A healthful fruit drink, coffee, or tea, and dessert are included in the reasonable price. Eggs are not used; items containing milk products are labeled as such.

Vegetarian fare served buffet style - a "big" favourite breakfast spot of ours on past trips, and much-enjoyed again this past spring (April/May '10). We enjoyed (sampled from the following selections): cut fruit (cantaloupe, papaya, pineapple, and apple), yogurt (and various 'toppings' - granola, coconut, nuts & seeds, and etc.), hot cereal, hotcakes (buckwheat), nopales (a tasty cactus dish), chilaquiles (with all the 'toppings' available - red onion, a tasty ranchero cheese, sour cream, etc.), frijoles (dark and so delicious!!), tofu dishes (resembling eggs and meat, and very tasty), juice (somewhat "weird-looking", but sure good tasting), coffee/tea, a wonderful, nutty, multi-grain bread, and crispy tostados. Everything well-prepared and presented and so inexpensively-priced (50 pesos).
Planeta Vegetariano is a small, colourful and cute place, with friendly service, and good food. It's open daily, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each 'all-you-can-eat' buffet style, from 8:00am to 10:00pm. And in our opinion, one of the best breakfast values in Vallarta!!
