I’ve been looking for a good Mexican place with vegan or vegetarian options but haven’t been able to find a good one yet. Does anyone have recommendations for such a place? Doesn’t matter if it’s far from Columbia. I’m also open to other cuisines/places that have vegan/vegetarian options. Any suggestion is appreciated! Thanks.
They are super accommodating too. And if I recall they make their own tortillas.
Do you happen to know if their beans are vegetarian (without lard)?

I actually don’t know. The do a mix of black and pinto beans. They aren’t really refried. I suspect their vegetarian but definitely check.
The ones at pachangas, teca, and palapas are vegetarian I think. Except Sundays when they make mama Lola’s beans.
Thanks!
Mango Grove off Stanford & Dobbin.
This place for sure! Great food and tons of options.
Close:
Great Sage is definitely the best for vegan cuisine in this area.
Came here to recommend Great Sage. Their food is great and they change up the menu seasonally.
Busboys and Poets has a great vegetarian/vegan selection. Dok Khao right next to it also has a large selection of vegetarian (maybe vegan? not sure) Thai food.
Yep, my wife and I took one of my younger vegetarian cousins to the one in DC in 2019, and she still raves about it.
The Silver Dinner has many vegetarian and some vegan options. For Mexican in this area my vegetarian wife prefers La Papalapa in old Ellicott City.
Second for Silver Diner. Everything they have there is good.
Mom's Organic Market in Jessup has a vegan deli inside and of course lots of great vegan options in the grocery aisles.
NuVegan Cafe is in College Park (and it's right next to a Board & Brew, a board game cafe that also has a couple of tasty vegetarian options.)
Others have said La Palapa in EC, but there's also La Palapa Too in Fulton, for Mexican with vegan options.
For vegan in general, seconding Great Sage, but there's also a ton of options next door in the Clarksville Commons, particularly Koshary and the Banh Mi place. Plus Roots is there, and that's always a great stop for vegan essentials.
Seconding Common Kitchen. Beast Falafel sandwich.
Pachangas and El Azteca are also owned by the same person who owns La Palapa
Sunflower Vegetarian Restaurant, 2531 Chain Bridge Rd, Vienna, VA 22181
It’s my favorite.
Worth the drive in my opinion.
Tournesol is the French name for Sunflower, the literal translation is ‘Turned Sun’, in line with the plants’ ability for solar tracking, sounds fitting. The Spanish word is El Girasolis.
I went to the one on route 7. I was told it was run by a cult by someone at one point
Land of Kush in Baltimore has amazing vegan food.
I second this!
Not mexican but there is a really good ethiopian restaurant in ellicott city that you definitely have to try. There are tons of dishes that are already traditionally vegan or vegetarian
Dok Khao Thai has a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. The setting is beautiful too, and they have amazing desserts and cocktails.
All the highly rated Indian places do great vegetarian food. Clarksville common has that Bahn mi place where you can their sandwich with impossible meat. Regional usually has done great vegetarian options. Traveling out of HC, look up Ahadu or Tigi for take out (or any Ethiopian places in DC to eat in) for incredible vegetarian and vegan options.
Sorry, but Mexican is lacking, and the ones we have tend to be basic on vegetation and lack vegan
Eattini Thai in Ellicott City has lots of vegetarian options, and is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I highly recommend their chive cakes appetizer.
Mango Grove is a really great Indian restaurant, has lots of both Vegetarian and Vegan choices.
Regionale has more limited options (just 3 vegetarian sandwiches), but they're all super tasty. I'm also in love with their house-made chips.
Most any Indian restaurant.
Cielo Rojo in Takoma Park!!
Great Sage
Silver Diner
Busboys and Poets
Aneganda Delights
All good food within 10 minutes of Columbia
This reminds me of how much I miss college Krishna food
I had a great vegetarian burrito from Tampico Grill! I find it's often hard to get high-quality veggie options, even with places that do have those options. This one was full of veggies and super delicious!
Tacos Don Perez in Silver Spring serves authentic cuisine, nothing Tex mex. Great vegan and vegetarian options as well.
Mango grill in Laurel has some great vegetarian options! Vegetarian tamale is one of them

Mi Casa has some pretty good vegetarian options, but not vegan. It was my favorite Mexican food I've had in Maryland so far.
