"This buffet-style spot is hidden deep among the many enchanting andadores (staircases) in Vallarta’s Centro neighborhood. The restaurant specialized in old school vegetarian food way before the words “plant-based” or “vegan” were heard around town. The place is open all day, and staff switch out buffet items around lunchtime, except for the legendary, flagship black beans. For breakfast, look for chilaquiles; birria made with house-made soy strips; all-you-can-drink green juice; and pancakes filled with sweet papaya, puffed amaranth, and cajeta (goat milk caramel). For lunch or dinner, depending on the day of the week, you’ll find potato-stuffed chiles rellenos, pumpkin seed albondigas, sweet potato lasagna, and banana bread pudding for dessert." - Paola Briseño-González
