Lupita's Cantina has three labeled vegan options: vegan street tacos, vegan enchiladas and a vegan taco salad. You get to chose your vegan protein, with two options: veef (imitation beef) picadillo or grilled zhrimp. We got the enchiladas with veef and the taco salad with zhrimp. We hadn't had vegan shrimp before and they looked so much like real shrimp that we asked the server to confirm that they were vegan, which they were. Both the imitation shrimp and beef were tasty and rich with flavor.
Both the enchiladas and taco salad had fresh ingredients and were more than enough food to fill us up (along with the vegan chips!). Each of Carlos' restaurants has some differences on the menu. We felt like Lupita's dishes were more heavy on the imitation meat with fewer vegetables, whereas Cocina de Carlos is the opposite.
The restaurant has a full bar with ten taps with local breweries, another nice touch for those who are interested.
Thank you, Carlos, for always having vegan options and for always trying something new!!!
