We all know that eating healthy is essential but what do you do if you’re vegetarian in a place where so many people still prefer typical Mexican dishes made with meat and other animal products? You might be happy to find out that Mexico also has a significant population of people who have joined the vegetarian culture.

 

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in the United States (among other organizations) state that a properly planned vegetarian diet is healthy and nutritionally adequate. A meatless diet benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, and to top it off, the dishes can be delicious. But…. are there vegetarian restaurants in Vallarta-Nayarit?

 

Most restaurants in the area offer a varied menu including salads and soups, but it can often appear that there are no restaurants strictly dedicated to vegetarian cuisine.
