Here are some new additions to VRG’s guide:

Cholo Ass Vegan

East 120th Ave.

Northglenn, CO 80233

Cholo Ass Vegan is a food truck that makes home-made Mexican food to-go, just like your abuela used to make. The hours and menu rotate, but they are posted on Facebook and Instagram, so check out the social media links on their website. On Instagram in particular, you’ll see prior offerings like tamales, tacos, gazpacho, seitan asada, etc.

Lindiana’s Southern Vegan Kitchen

2615 Calumet

Houston, TX 77004

This little gem in the 3rd ward of Houston city could play hard to get. At first glance, the place may look closed but venture a few steps upstairs and voila! You find a great retro-style restaurant with a menu filled with vegan goodies. Their menu has strong undercurrents of a typical Louisiana kitchen but, with a vegan twist. The menu includes everything from vegan “Boudain” balls to “Fish” grits to “Shrimp” Po Boy. Start with their appetizer of Cauliflower “nuggets” sizzled with buffalo sauce and savor the “Linda Plate” which includes “Fish”, mildly sweet Cornbread and a choice of two sides. You can finish off with a vegan beignet or a waffle but beware their dessert choices are erratic, not because they are not good but because they are made fresh from scratch every day. So, if you are lucky, you may find a juicy, glazed lemon cake waiting for you in the menu. Otherwise, be prepared to walk away without satiating your sweet tooth. Overall though, you will return from here with a smile of contentment from great tasting food!

MC Kitchen

401 Park Dr.

Boston, MA 02215

MC Kitchen is located in the Time Out Market, where they serve up vegan food daily. Choices include cauliflower tacos, rice noodle bowl, corn cakes, beet ravioli, and more. The food is from all over, but the price point is down the middle.

Meta Burger

7950 E Mississippi Ave.

Denver, CO 80247

Meta Burger’s menu offers a variety of vegan burgers to choose from, like their Godfather, the Island Burger, or the extra-spicy Supernova. If you don’t like the pre-designed burgers, build your own! Don’t want a burger at all? They also have vegan cheesesteaks, chicken sandwiches, patty melts, hot dogs, and more. As a plus, the prices are pretty reasonable, so it’s hard to go wrong.

Nabati

317 NW 25th St.

Miami, FL 33127

Nabati is a vegan ice cream shop where all the vegan ice cream is made in house. If they don’t have the flavor you want, suggest it on their website! There’s also a discount if you bring your own container.

Seed Burger

176 Easton Ave., Store 1A

New Brunswick, NJ 08901

Seed Burger is a vegan burger joint with a good variety of burgers to choose from, including the Impossible and Beyond burgers, but also Chick’n sandwiches and black bean burgers. There are fries too, of course, including curly potato fries, sweet potato fries, and yuca fries. The prices are reasonable and it’s BYOB.

Toasted

928 W. Main St.

Boise, ID 83702

Toasted is an all-vegan toast café. Try a banana bread flight which comes with three thick slices of banana bread each with different decadent toppings. Or opt for something more savory with the “Later Tater,” a slice of potato bread with roasted potatoes, sour cream, chives, and parmesan. Grab a drip coffee or local brew and toast to all the flavorful, inventive combinations!

Veegos

10932 Westheimer Rd.

Houston, TX 77042

Do you love spicy Pico and yummy guac? Looking for a pure vegan Mexican place to dine out at this weekend? Try Veegos. I would start with their Guacamole bowl served with nachos and order a glass of the Aguas frescas to wash the oil down. For main course, the Tostadas offered with jackfruit piques my curiosity. Or, their mouthwatering green tomatillo enchiladas, could be a great choice as an entree. Finally, what is a Mexican vegan meal without the creamy Arroz con Leche. Of course, we can rest easy that this is without the “leche” (Milk)! Note that Veegos is very responsive over their Facebook page, should you have any questions on the menu.

Wong Way Veg

Wong Way Veg is a food truck in the Denver area, serving up an array of delicious vegan nosh. Follow their Instagram or other social media for upcoming locations and menus. Prior options have included tacos, waffles, bagels, biscuits, burgers, poutine, gyros, and more! They do catering as well!
