vegan

Hi Judy!

I am sure your friend has already come and gone by now, but I wanted to +1 to what Padrino said about Ceci at Zankas….her food is UNBELIEVABLE. She also makes home made nut-based cheeses and ice creams you can order and pick up the next day. Her green pozole on Thursdays is off the charts good (they had a burst pipe yesterday so sadly I need to wait another week for that deliciousness). I could eat there every day. La Gaviota has a fully vegan menu in addition to their regular menu, but you need to ask for it. La Raiz de La Tierra seems to be closed in Zihua (we asked the vendor at the food stall next door), but their Ixtapa location is open. The Casita Eco Vegano Cooperative has killer red enchiladas and plenty of other tasty dishes. Madera restaurant on the beach at Playa Madera has cauliflower tacos, and the waiter even thought to ask me if I eat milk (no) because the tempura batter they use has dairy- so they grilled the cauliflower for my tacos- yay! The Soriana has an unbelievable selection of vegan cheeses and milks and yogurts. The hamburger spot at the roundabout has a portabello burger. At most of the restaurants along La Ropa I have had to stick with beans, rice, tortillas and guacamole (once in a while someone will offer to make me some grilled veggies)- but overall I am just BLOWN AWAY by how vegan-friendly it is here! I even took a cooking class from Monica at Patio Mexica and she showed me how to make a vegan version of mole poblano while the rest of the class had the animal-based version. I hope your friend loved her time here!!
