Nice quick buffet meal - Edit
A big variety of vegan dishes and vegan salad ingredients. You pay by weight. Light and airy and comfortable booths to sit in. You heat the hot food to your preferred temperature. Soft drinks available no alcohol. They sell some products.
Read morePros: Big variety and only pay for what you choose. , Quick meal, Very well priced
Cons: Staff not very friendly at the time. , Nothing is labelled so it’s a guess.

Fully vegan now - Edit
We arrived 22:10 so they didn’t have everything available but contrary to other reviews this place is now fully vegan (they use vegan cheese).
Read moreDownside is that our food was pretty cold but this seems pretty standard in buffets here.
They had loads of options and it was really cheap (you pay by weight). Eat in or takeaway.

We ate here 6 times in 5 days... - Edit
Food was fantastic, reasonably priced, and for a town that’s closed half the day, their hours are very flexible!

Good food, but needs better clarity about vegan items - Edit
Govinda is one of the better vegetarian restaurants in Mendoza, and (along with its sister location downtown) the only veg option in town that's open for dinner.
Read moreThere's a reasonably good buffet selection, offering plenty of choice for lacto-vegetarians and roughly a dozen items for vegans, give or take.
Unfortunately, they aren't consistently well organized in the way they set out the vegan items, making it hard to tell for sure which items are vegan. There is a section that is labeled "vegan," but individual items aren't always labeled, and there are also a few vegan items placed randomly around the other tables, so vegans really need to inquire to be sure.
The other issue here (as with so many other Argentinian veg restaurants) is that the buffet food gets cold quickly and the only option for warming it up is a microwave oven, which has harmful effects both on nutrition and texture. It would be better if they would use the steam tables to keep the hot food hot, and also provide a conventional toaster-oven as an option for reheating items that have gotten cold.
Service was warm and helpful, and prices are reasonable.
Pros: Some vegan items (though one needs to ask), open for dinner
Cons: Microwave ovens

calling all the vegans in the house! - Edit
This is definitely worth a meal while in Mendoza. Lots of vegan options, all clearly marked with the v-leaf. Interesting food fusions of Argentina, Asian, and Indian influences. You will leave full and happy!
Read morePlus, the space is bright and clean. An easy place to relax and spend a few hours at.
There are also foods and organic products for sale.

fine choice - Edit
govinda had a decent vegan section, and the staff was helpful in pointing out other vegan items not placed in that section. the restaurant is located a bit outside the center of the city, but worth a visit.

Open everyday! - Edit
It was open even on Easter weekend, when everything else was closed. There is a great buffet but without a tenedor-libre option. You can buy only by weight (April.12: 45 peso por kilo). Even 15 minutes before the end of lunch time the variety of dishes was very good. Lots of delicious bakery. Some spicy things, all food is special, not just to full a stomach. Plenty of meat subsistutes.
Read moreThere is a bar with desserts and drinks that is available between lunch and dinner.
there is free wifi.
