El Taquero
El Taquero is a casual Mexican restaurant focusing primarily on meat dishes but includes vegan-friendly options such as a vegan burrito and mushroom nachos. Prices are moderate, roughly equivalent to mid-range eateries, and it accepts credit cards for payment. Several menu items require modifications to be vegan, including asking to skip cheese or cream in dishes like the sweet plantain empanada.
