Is it easy to find vegan food outside of big cities in Mexico?

It’s definitely trickier in smaller towns, but not impossible. Markets usually have fresh fruit, veggies, and nuts, and some spots in touristy beach towns like Tulum have embraced vegan menus. Just be ready to explain that you don’t eat animal products, since many dishes traditionally include cheese or lard.

Are traditional Mexican foods like tacos or tamales easy to veganize?

Somewhat! Tacos can be vegan if they use nopales (cactus), mushrooms, or beans instead of meat, but watch out for cheese and crema. Tamales might have lard, so always ask. Many vegan places get creative and fill tamales with vegetables or squash blossoms.

Do Mexican restaurants understand what 'vegan' means?

It depends on the place. In bigger cities, vegan is pretty well understood. But in smaller towns or traditional spots, it’s safer to say you don’t eat meat, dairy, eggs, or lard to be clear. Most Mexicans are super helpful once they know what you mean.

Where would you recommend for the best vegan street food in Mexico City?

Los Loosers in Roma Norte is a favorite of mine. They whip up amazing vegan versions of street food like tacos and burritos that don’t shy away from bold flavors. Order the vegan al pastor taco,you won't be disappointed!

Is it expensive to eat vegan in Mexico?

It can be surprisingly affordable, especially if you eat at markets or small local joints. Fancy vegan restaurants might cost more, but you’ll often get bigger portions and creative dishes. Cooking your own food with local produce is pretty cheap too if you have a kitchen.

Are there any vegan desserts that Mexicans eat traditionally?

Not a ton in the traditional sense since many rely on milk or eggs, but some sweets like fruit paletas (ice pops) or street vendor-made sorbets can be vegan. Also, some places make their own vegan flans or churros using plant-based ingredients, so keep an eye out!
