Fortunately for us, we found Tumerico. Tumerico, located near the University of Arizona campus at 2526 E 6th St, is a mostly vegan restaurant with a menu that changes regularly.\u00a0 The day that we ate there the menu included a Pad Thai Veggie Bowl, spicy Adobo Tacos, Ropa Vieja plate, tamales, and a mole bowl all of which came with rice, beans, salad, pico de gallo, and cashew crema. You could add queso fresco (soft cheese) and order either vegan or vegetarian tamales; otherwise all dishes were vegan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"267\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Tamales-267x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Tamales-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Tamales.jpg 475w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><figcaption>Tamales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We tried Cuban Tacos, the vegan Tamale Plate, Viva la Mexico\nTostadas, and the Mole Bowl. The tacos were filled with jackfruit and had a\ngarlic-cilantro sauce. The tamales were my favorite \u2013 with a moist texture and\na blend of spices that was tasty but not fiery.&nbsp;\nThe tostadas were lovely and featured crisp tortillas spread with\nguacamole and pesto, topped with beans, and served with a drizzle of cashew\ncrema. The mole bowl had a mixture of vegetables and beans in a mole sauce with\ntortillas on the side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Tostadas-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Tostadas-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Tostadas.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Tostadas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The food was so good and the idea of a changing menu so\nintriguing that we hoped to go back.
