The Bucktown spot uses soy-based meat products and vegan cheese for a variety of classic Mexican dishes from quesadillas and huaraches to tacos and tortas.
Customers have the choice of using non-vegan products in meals, though. In the omelettes, for example, people can choose between using tofu or 100% organic eggs, according to the website.
The unique desserts range from fried plantains using soy-based vegan cream and tofu cheesecake to a vegan three-milk cake and ride pudding using soy milk.
