Here are some new additions to VRG\u2019s guide:<\/p>\n

Bambi Vegan Tacos, 1725 I St., Sacramento, CA 95811<\/strong><\/p>\n

This Mexican-fusion restaurant is a completely vegan taco joint with a vivacious and welcoming atmosphere. They make every meal from scratch, using the freshest vegetables they can find. You can be sure when ordering from Bambi Vegan Tacos that you aren\u2019t ordering anything processed. They offer tacos, starters, and plenty of other delicious small plates. In addition to excellent vegan food, Bambi also has a full bar ready to make your favorite cocktail, while also offering innovative drinks with adaptogens and other herbal and non-alcoholic ingredients. They have seasonal specials that include pineapple upside-down cake, banana peanut butter cupcakes topped with vegan bacon bits, and zesty avocado verde salsa. Find them on Instagram @bambivegantacos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Black Leaf Vegan, 335 West 9th St., Indianapolis, IN 46202<\/strong><\/p>\n

Growing from a food truck to a brick-and-mortar that was awarded one of 50 business grants for small businesses led by Black and Latinx entrepreneurs, Black Leaf Vegan\u2019s story is as big and bold as its flavorful menu items. With options of breakfast items, classic American comfort foods, and smoothies, there will be something to suit whatever you may be craving. Start your day with a hearty bagel breakfast sandwich of bacon or sausage, egg, and cheese (yes, all vegan), or go a little lighter with avocado toast or an oatmeal cup made with oat milk and sweetened with agave and maple syrup. Lunch and dinner options include the Crab-less Crab Cake made from a base of chickpeas, heart of palm, and<\/p>\n

vegetables, and the Guac Burger, served not only with guacamole but also their classic teriyaki BBQ sauce. And any time of day would be a great time for the Apple Pineapple Smoothie (a blend of apple, pineapple, and strawberry), or perhaps their Vita Verde Smoothie (a naturally sweet blend of spinach, dragon fruit, pineapple, and lemonade).<\/p>\n

Buddy\u2019s Steaks, 4255 SE Belmont St., Portland, OR 97215<\/strong><\/p>\n

Buddy\u2019s Steaks specializes in vegan Philly Cheesesteaks, sandwiches, hoagies, and more! Its outdoor counter service building is located in the alley, right across from Mt. Tabor Veterinary Care on SE Belmont St. Customers rave about Buddy Steaks\u2019 friendly service, and highly recommend their vegan mozzarella sticks! Their special is \u201cThe Spicy Daddy Meal,\u201d a Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak (vegan) with hot pepper provolone and peppers with a side of fries, but you can\u2019t go wrong with their classic and popular vegan Cheesesteak with plant based steak and saut\u00e9ed onions. While their vegan cheese is made with cashews, they offer cashew free versions by request for allergies. For dessert, they serve vegan \u201cIrish Potatoes,\u201d a Philadelphia sweet made with Coconut cream balls covered in cinnamon and cocoa.<\/p>\n

Cena Vegan, 456 Elm Ave., Long Beach, CA 90802<\/strong><\/p>\n

Initially inspired to become vegan due to health concerns, the husband and wife duo behind Cena Vegan have opened in Partake Collective, a kitchen dining hall in the East Village. What started as an effort to develop homemade seitan in order to serve a large group on a low budget has flourished into a full menu of authentic, vegan Mexican street food, including the Big Vegan Burrito, whose name says it all\u2014filled with house-made plant proteins, rice, beans, cashew crema, and a choice of salsa. For a lighter option, there\u2019s the Burrito Bowl\u2014same great burrito filling, minus the tortilla. The Taco Barbacoa is simmered in a rich adobo\u2014and is gluten-free. And for those who can\u2019t decide, the Taco Trio or the Four Taco Plate may be a good choice\u2014sharing with others is optional. There are a variety of sides (beans, rice, chips) to round out the meal, plus traditional drink offerings, including Horchata and Watermelon Agua Fresca.<\/p>\n

Mora Pizza, 911 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80218<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owned and operated by a third-generation pizzaiolo, this Brooklyn-style pizzeria offers New York-inspired dishes such as subs, pastas, pizzas, calzones, and stromboli. The menu consists of plant-based takes on classics such as plain cheese and white-sauce slices while also offering unusual pizza-fied mashups like Birthday Cake, Peach Pie, and S\u2019Mores. Some of their most beloved pizza creations are Chicken Parm, Meatball Parm, Buffalo Chickn with ranch, and Philly Cheesesteak. For these, the crust was reported as being perfectly crisp on the outside, with just the right density and mix of light sweetness on the inside. Mora Pizza is located inside a shared kitchen space and can therefore be easily overlooked. The pizzeria space is small and has a few tables for dining. Make sure to call ahead to order, as preparation times can vary.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Tacos Veganos, 3301 E. Indianschool Rd., Phoenix, AZ 85018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy authentic Mexican vegan street style tacos, loaded nachos, quesadillas, breakfast burritos, horchata, and more. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available.<\/p>\n

World Party Pizza, 520 Shepherd Dr., Ste. 10, Garland, TX 75042<\/strong><\/p>\n

World Party Pizza is located right off of Forest Lane, just a block away from Hollobaugh Park. They serve vegan pizza, salads, pastas, and decadent desserts all available for pick-up or delivery! Some of their menu items include the \u201cTexas Bar-B-Q Chick-N Pizza\u201d made with their house-made chipotle BBQ Sauce, nut- and soy-free vegan mozzarella, soy chicken, and red onions, and their \u201cImpossibly Cheesy Lasagna.\u201d If you\u2019re gluten intolerant.
