El Azteca Mexican Deli

This brightly colored old restaurant in the historic Union St. district of Poughkeepsie features an unmistakable large Vegan Options mention in one of the windows, leading me to wonder if it would be an interesting find. Many fillings for items include meat, cheese, or queso fresco. The clearly marked vegan possibilities to my mind included a section with two burritos and the taco section. Other sections did not mention veg subs. I ordered 3 tacos, then one of the burritos, Gaby's Burrito. The 3-taco plate has to be made with all the same filling. Being a vegan, I chose spinach and mushroom, forgoing for example the fajita veggies option. One could elect soft or hard tortillas for the 3-taco...

I feel very confident eating here, which is a big deal to me. They have “vegan options available” painted on their window, and vegan options are clearly denoted in the menu. The items are not inherently vegan, and you do need to specify that you want the “vegan tacos/burrito/chimichanga etc.”, but no need to specify “no cheese/sour cream” or ask if the refried beans are vegan. The woman who took my order knew exactly what vegan meant. You will actually need to choose your vegan meat substitute because there are OPTIONS! I got the soy chorizo, but there are many others, including mushroom chorizo. The menus posted on Yelp do not reflect the new vegan choices, so call ahead or pick up a paper...

We are fairly new to the area and never knew about this part of town/restaurant, but once we did, we went twice in a short amount of time!! I added (I think to my photos because both times my husband ordered and we got whatever the waitress suggested and said was vegan it was all so delicious!!!
