Top tips

Ask about: cross-contamination

  • Ask for the allergen menu; it identifies dishes that are vegan or can be made vegan.
  • Good to know: Tell your server about dietary needs and ask about shared cooking oil; one reviewer was told that broccoli was fried in the same oil as fish.

  • Ask for the mushroom taco without dairy; the sweet potato tamale is another dish a vegan reviewer enjoyed.
  • Small plates are served family-style, so consider going with other diners if you want to sample several vegan dishes.
