El Cochino
El Cochino is a Mexican restaurant serving primarily meat dishes but with a small vegan-friendly selection, mainly mushroom tacos and customized burritos without meat or cheese. The venue is casual with focus on traditional Mexican fare, though vegan options are limited and require specific requests to avoid non-vegan ingredients like tempura batter on avocado tacos. Recent reviews indicate dissatisfaction with the scarcity and inconsistent vegan offerings.
