Vegtastic Voyage

More good news for Portland (sorry, rest of the world): If you haven’t yet heard, Taqueria Los Gorditos has graduated from their truck parked outside of Citybikes and now have a real, live sit-down establishment at SE 12th & Division. There’s a catch: It’s not just vegan, but they do have a separate grill for vegan stuff…and this owl to watch over you while you eat:

I got the Soycurl Taco (no beans—they’re the mushy kind), the Onion Taco, and the Tamale, which I failed to get through—a girl’s belly can only hold so much food.

Tom got the nachos, of course, because apparently he was once hypnotized at a party and the seed was planted that when he sees the word “nachos” on a vegan menu he has no choice but to order it. Odd hypnotist, that one.

Here’s the vegan menu so you can get take-out or, if you’re not in Portland, show it to your local Mexican joint to prove just what can be done without meat and dairy and lard. My favorite part of the menu is the note that vegan items can be made vegetarian with cheese and sour cream (the dairy kind). How’s that for a switch-o-change-o? As always, I’m not being sponsored, I just wanted to share this fabulous menu with you because it’s not online…so if they change the ingredients or prices or whathaveya, I’m sorry, I tried.
