Mad Dog & Beans Mexican Cantina
Mad Dog & Beans Mexican Cantina brings a lively and festive atmosphere typical of a casual Mexican eatery. The Pearl Street location serves classic Mexican dishes with some vegetarian options that can be adapted to vegan by omitting dairy items like cheese and sour cream. The vegan offerings are limited and have reportedly declined over time, with some recent reviews noting a reduction in vegan-friendly dishes and concerns about flavor and dryness.
