La Garnacha Vegana

5 Mich I - 4 months ago

Most authentic Mexican vegan food. Lots of fillings to choose from in several traditional dishes to choose from at great prices. Every dish is made with blue corn which is what makes this restaurant stand out from other vegan restaurants in Guadalajara. Even when fried, the food doesn't feel heavy or greasy. The restaurant has limited seating (3 tables) so it can be pretty tight. We went 3 times, but one time it was closed during their business hours (4pm on a Wednesday) so we came back on a Saturday when we knew it would be open. Besides that, we loved the food very much!

When you're ready to branch out from your usual chilaquiles and burritos, this wonderful place has bang-up vegan versions of all the lesser-known but equally delicious mainstays of Mexican cuisine: huaraches, gorditas, enfrijoladas, flautas, pozole, etc. Most dishes are made with blue corn. The owner is also the main cook and she puts her heart into this place. I've eaten here a couple dozen times and have never left disappointed.

I brought a friend here who told me, "This just might be the best thing I've had since I've been in Mexico." Cash only.

Accidentally but pleasant ended up at this place while I was walking back from central plaza to my AirBnB. I was starving on a long walk and zig zagging my way through alleys looking for any place to eat! I saw this place open and very polite and welcoming lady asked me to come in. I asked her if they have meat but she told me that it's a vegetarian restaurant! I politely apologized and stated to leave but she insisted that despite being vegetarian, their food is great and I should try it. I said what the heck, might as well as I was starving after a 3 hour walk on a hit afternoon!

The place is small but very intimate - right across from a bar. The bar music spilling into a vegan restaurant was very interesting experience. My spanish is passable but as I know nothing about vegan dishes, I asked her to decide and I will try that. She explained to me but I didn't quite understand all the details. However whatever she asked the cook to make, was delicious and very nicely presented. She even had the cook come out and talk to me. The lady even swatted away the flies with her magic racket as I ate ! We had nice conversation about my travels and what I was doing in GDL.

I highly recommend this restaurant to both the vegetarians and meat eaters like myself!

It’s so delicious!! Best vegan food in GDL. I am in love with and returning for more Gorditas. The chef cooks everything from fresh and you can taste so many flavors!! I am ordering more food to go for tomorrow as well!
