Vegan in Zihua

Go to the Eco-Tianguis Sanka get together on Saturday mornings by casa Arcadia. The vendors there will be able to steer you in the right direction.

The big supermarket, Commercial Mexicana, has anything you might want outside of fresh fruit and veg which are much better back behind the Central Mercado. It now has a complete half isle of Organic brands of most everything, and for those who need it a gluten free section and a diabetic section. It has tofu. It had this morning 5 brands of quinoa, six brands of sushi rice, every asian sauce and spice you could want, etc..
As was mentioned we have a wonderful Saturday market from 9 to 2 (NOT by Casa Arcadia for the last year but behind the museum by the school.) It has food to eat prepared by the Copperativa Eco-Vegana and includes raw vegan options along with music and art and wonderful handmade soaps and lotions and much more. I wish it had more organic produce.
There are probably no restaurants that have vegan options on their menu in Zihuatanejo, but if you google vegan travel cards there are many options to print, some free some not) that explain your dietary needs in many languages.

Hello all!

I'm trying to be as prepared as possible for my trip to Zihua in a few weeks. I would appreciate dearly any recommendations for vegan friendly restaurants near Playa La Ropa and Playa La Madera. I'm usually quite efficient in finding everything online, but I'm having a bit of trouble with Zihua. Maybe some of you more familiar might have some clues.

I'll also have a kitchen during my stay, so if there are any grocery stores that might stock more vegan items, like tofu, do let me know!

Thanks very much in advance!

Vegan is no problem here. Many of us eat very little meat anyway. I don't know about the more touristy restaurants that seem to cater to the steak and potatoes crowd, but the more Mexican places will have plenty of veggie dishes on their menus. Places like Tamales "Any", Daniel's, La Katrina, Garrobos and even Café Marina all include on their menus delicious meatless meals. Just ask the waitpersons for help selecting dishes without meats besides salads. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Carmalita's restaurant is very accommodating when it comes to creating vegan dishes if you are looking for some of the best Zihuatanejo food and most gracious hosts.
Be sure to try some horchata, a cinnamon rice drink available from street vendors or restaurants.
I alway feel I can just live on the guacamole, chips and fresh pico de gallo. The guac in Zi does not have any sour cream mixed in like they do in the states.
I've been almost vegan for years and have never gone hungry in Zihuatanejo. When I travel I do get lax about eggs and dairy. The eggs at Doña Prudencia are so good and that crumbly white cheese they sprinkle over dishes as a seasoning is sabroso; but you would suffer no hardship to go without.
