Seeking Mexican restaurants with good vegetarian *options* - NOT vegetarian restaurants
We have both carnivores and vegetarians in our family. Most of the highly recommended Mexican restaurants in Phoenix have very few vegetarian options. Then there are all-vegetarian places like Tacos Veganos, etc, which we are NOT looking for. Searching the web for “Mexican restaurants with vegetarian options” generally just brings up the all-vegetarian restaurants.
The problem is that some of us want to eat carnitas and quesabirria and love the chicken stock in the rice and lard in the beans, but others in the family want black beans without lard and something more interesting than just a quesadilla or nachos.
A good example of what we’re looking for is Amelia’s in Tucson. The food was awesome and pleased everyone in the family. Everything was tasty whether it was vegetarian or not, no one had to compromise. The prices were reasonable, too.
“Authentic” whatever it means to you is always a goal but a good modern Mexican place is fine, too.
Thank you!
