Hola, readers!

Over forty million tourists visited Mexico last year. Mexico is certainly taking strides to reduce animal products in the country, but for those of us on a plant-based diet, the avalanche of cheese, egg, carnitas, and the like can seem intimidating on vacation.

For this reason, we’ve put together a list of delicious vegan-friendly spots to check out while in Mexico City. Happy eating!
