Vegan & Vegetarian in Wheaton, MD

Wheaton has its own deep Latin food bench along Georgia Avenue, which is exactly why its diners are hard to impress — and why the ones who make the 13-minute run down to Flower Avenue for the Super Golfo fajitas or a whole pan-fried mojarra count for double. After Brookside Gardens or Wheaton Regional Park, it's the closest full-bar Latin dinner south.

From Wheaton we're 13 min · 5.4 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.”
