Across from the United States Consulate in Guadalajara is a food court with an eatery that stands in stark contrast to the BBQ stand I last reviewed.
El Vegano boasts a robust and inspired menu, which upon first reading leaves you with high expectations. You will not be disappointed.
The dishes range from a traditional Mexican breakfast like Chilaquiles to more filling and lunch-size plates. One particular plate is the Tacos No Fish, a play of words on the now-famous dish served everywhere.
These tortillas are filled with a stupendous roasted cauliflower perfectly spiced, topped with assorted greens, giving it a brittle bite to enjoy with a refreshing, creative beverage made from guayaba, strawberries and lemon.
No salsa needed here. The taste is complete, and the plate truly resembles a common fish taco.
Vegans fill the tables nearby as they love the Spaghetti with Eggplant, a robust Cannelloni filled with spinach in a tofu ragu, topped with a light tomato couli. You can choose the Lasagna, Enchiladas, Baguettes and more.
The menu is well thought-out, so don’t miss eating here. Even a dedicated carnivore like me can love it.
Try the Aguachile de setas, a tostada topped with marinated oyster mushrooms in a spicy green salsa.
One side note: I would like to see ginger used creatively here in some dish or the other, but, I just had to write about this exciting food experience.
The owners both attended culinary school in Mexico so you know you can depend on tasty plates.
