El Lobo Mestizo
El Lobo Mestizo is a casual Mexican spot with familiar dishes like yuca, plantains, and vegetable tacos that can be customized vegan by requesting no cheese—though none of the menu items are clearly labeled for vegan diners. The presence of large patacones with creamy beans and fresh pico de gallo stands out as a decent snack or light lunch choice, even if the overall vegan selection is limited and the atmosphere leans toward a lively, tourist-oriented bar. Prices are moderate with friendly staff, but vegan options require careful ordering due to lack of menu clarity.
