Vegan-Friendly Eats

I plan to start posting the names of vegan-friendly restaurants in Tucson, to make it easier to go out to eat. I will rate them (soon) as to how vegan-friendly (or not) that they are. I'll post some links here but, eventually, I will have a comprehensive easy-to-access list for you.

These are in no particular order but they are places that offer a vegan menu separate from their regular menu. Why does that matter? Because some people won't eat at a 'vegan' establishment. (Yes, this is an issue...trust me.) However, if they see a regular menu, they are less stressed dining with the vegans:

1. The Blacktop Grill has regular Mexican food and a vegan menu.
2. Pita Jungle serves great Mediterranean meals and I think their vegan menu is tastier then the regular one. (Try the Wood-Fired Caramelized Cauliflower with Tahini).
3. Del Cielo Tamal is a Tucson secret. Their online vegan menu does NOT show all the great choices. For example, the menu includes a vegan ceviche - hooray for creativity! And try their vegan breakfast buffet on Thursday mornings. Here's my pics of the menu from a May 2024 visit.
