Vegetarian restaurant
I have a youngster coming with us to San Felipe at the end of this month. She is a vegetarian. Will eat eggs and milk...just no meat / fish.
I could use a list of restaurants in San Felipe that may have a vegetarian selection for her.
Appreciate the help.

I was thinking along the same lines, but then I'm wondering if the local tortillas and/or refried beans are made with lard? I know that
traditionally refried beans are made with pork fat. Maybe one of the chinese restaurants would work for some stir fry??
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!

Oh good stuff here. Thanks. The beans...good point!
Is there any other Chinese places in SF other than the one near the malecone? We went there last time and it wasnt good. The owners seemed to be
vacant and the kids were running shop.

The Chinese restaurant that use to be at the Pemex by the Crocodile out by El Dorado has moved into town, but I don't know where. Another option for a
meal out would be the Langosta Roja...they have an eggplant sandwich, eggplant parm. and pastas with a marinara or pesto sause. Also breads, soups and
salad choices without meat.

OH yes, plus there is also a cheese or veggie pizza from the Sand Rail Pizza. AND you can eat it around the camp fire!

Lard (manteca, i,e. pork fat) is Expensive
The tortillas we find in the market these days are prepared with vegetable oi (you can read the ingredients list on the cover).
Many restaurants have switched to vegetable oil for frying, because lard is more expensive.
Personally, I would rather eat old style home-style tortilla than than one that is prepared from engineered trans-fats promoted on a
pseudo-health-fad agenda.

Meat is Expensive
And What is Cheap?
Vegetables.
For example: field greens, also called quelites, cactus greens, also called nopalitos and the robust greens called swiss chard (I do not recall the
Mexican word) are prevalent in markets all over Mexico. Then there is the familiar staples of beans and rice, which, if eaten together make a
complete meal of protein.
Also, worms, grasshoppers and other insects are a great source of protein as the Mixtecs and Aztecs were fond of, but that is a subject for another
day.

I think a lot will depend on how draconian she is in her veggie diet...and a Chinese restaurant you are just about 100% guaranteed to eat chicken
stock at some point...and actually the same goes for Mexican restaurants even if they don't use lard. It is really really tough to travel to foreign
countries and keep all your veggie values (India excluded of course!). I think she should do the best she can and let a few things slide. I promise
her the world will continue to spin on its axis and the sun will come up in the east (and I am by no means a meat eater and despise factory farming.)
