Vegan & Vegetarian in Hyattsville, MD

Hyattsville's Route 1 Arts District has plenty of taprooms and not much table-service Latin seafood, so the run up Queens Chapel Road to El Golfo covers what the corridor can't. Fourteen minutes for salmon Acapulco and a $20 sangria pitcher is a trade the Arts District crowd keeps making.

From Hyattsville we're 14 min · 5.7 mi, which makes vegan and vegetarian dishes a short trip rather than a whole day's errand.

Vegan & Vegetarian done properly

This is a dedicated menu section, not a sad afterthought: vegan pupusa platter ($16), guanaco vegetariano with fried plantain, yucca and sweet corn tamale ($16), vegan chimichanga ($17), vegetable burrito ($16), vegan fajita ($20), vegan tacos platter ($18) and spinach enchiladas ($20) — all served with black beans and rice. “Vegan options” shows up in 22 of their Google reviews, and one longtime regular put it best: “I admire any place that has 4 vegan entrees, let alone a Mexican restaurant.”
